Still rocking a salvaged IBM X61 here! Got me through high school and it’s getting me through college. Makes an excellent no-distractions writing machine, sometimes I also use it as a second display for reference images when I’m doing art
It means “tail” in Chinese, which apparently is also pronounced “wei,” so I thought it’d be fitting
Thanks! He moved overseas after the dynasty got overthrown, and has played for a few underground punk bands and worked in several family-run ethnic restaurants. He also runs a blog that, like, maybe three people read. So basically he’s me but cooler haha
Looks so cozy!
It’s actually just a regular full-length novel but with illustrations to supplement various scenes
The habitation section of the station is mostly buried inside the comet, while the rest of it extends into the tail. This way its inhabitants are shielded by rock and ice while its auxiliary sections (solar panels, radiators, docks, etc.) have easy access to open space (but are also hidden from radio telescopes by the comet tail that forms during solar approaches)
The whole thing especially pisses me off because the original video was meant to criticize misogyny
I have some more illustrations and previews for my novel on my website, but otherwise I’m still in the writing stage and not sure where to publish. I did recently set up a Mastodon account on mastodon.art though (there’s a link to it in my profile), so any updates on my projects will probably go there
Absolutely splendid, this is going in my art reference folder
Proud owner of both an iPod classic and an iPod Shuffle! I use both on the daily in order to avoid being on my phone too much.
Children of Time?
Ah, brings back memories of the Heaven’s Stairway incident back in May 2021. Fun times
This artwork is gorgeous! All the bright colours make me feel nice and fuzzy. Not sure if making an animated movie for C&H is the best move though, IIRC Bill Watterson didn’t want it adapted
hell yeah I love airships
vintage sci-fi vibes. nice shot!
Damn that’s very poetic, instead of bringing the rover home we eventually brought home to it
MPD + Cantata
For the most part I just lump all my music into one playlist regardless of album or genre, but day to day I also use several different computers, and I find MPD to be the best for syncing configurations across all of them. Cantata also allows me to see album artwork and track information really easily and has good touchscreen support compared to terminal-based MPD clients.
