re: The scariest thing about all the smoke (for me) (this is a content warning ya'll)
@mawr @Kyresti Since I live by an honest-to-goodness forest: check their water level as the more likely culprit.
Checking on the trees here, there are no signs of them thinking the smoke is autumnal weather... yet. But the smaller ones are terribly thirsty, and in immediate view, only smaller vegetation is feeling that so far.
@Kyresti Kind of, yeah.
I think it helps that the folks running Blaseball aren't as heavily leaning on fan creations for the core work, so much as votes and RNG, while fostering a separate community. Though to be fair, that's kind of how MSPA started off.
If anything, though, I'm reminded a bit more of the game Blood Bowl.

2020 is a hell year, but at least I can play as a synth in OoT.

I implemented something that draws sprites onto the Mode 7 layer in software by copying the graphics underneath them and pasting the sprite on top. I tried making them move more smoothly but that didn't quite work out, because that meant re-rendering every sprite every frame and that added up to too much.

Broke: our candidate has a passion for imperialism and neoliberal capitalism
Woke: our candidate has a passion for taxing the rich and supporting literally everyone else
Bespoke: ... while also being extra soff and plush

@Metaph As far as I can tell, the right is invested in inventing conspiracies about straw men to accuse the other side of whatever they're scheming at the moment, so it's easier to normalize horrible behavior. The fact this one is also antisemetic is a bonus to them.
CW: You are more than your income. This is not your fault.
Don't be too hard on yourself if things aren't working out. We have the worst president in memory, during a pandemic that's killed 160k+ Americans, and the people in charge are not providing any help or relief. The government is the failure here, not you.
You are more than your income.
Don't shoulder the blame and damage your self worth because the system is rigged and isn't working. SCREW THAT. You are not a failure. You. Are. Not.
We're all struggling together! Going to work and catching Covid could possibly kill you or the people you care about. This is not on you! You should not have to struggle or even worry about finding work during this time. It's irresponsible of those in charge to expect it.
You are not worthless.
