#drawing today, a paladin or similar goody two sabatons busts in on a procession of cultists and their reliquary. Has undead, organized religion references, and vague eye contact

you have to live here for a year you’ll have a stillsuit in good condition but you can only bring one thing

Aye, master Starbuck! I can celebrate summer with a beach towel patterned with the accursed white whale that took off my leg, all plush terrycloth as comforting as my thoughts of vengeance! ARRRRRR

Sugar
Oh honey honey
You are my Ghidorah
And you’ve got me wanting you

One weird thing about when and where I went to college was, the Oldies station got the best reception (and hit that interesting-but-familiar spot retail businesses would want to play). Being in Michigan solved towards Motown. So music I think of as being from “when I was young” is this mix of 60s and 90s. To be fair both eras are about equally “stuff I like for associations more than actually musically solid.”

Listening to the Interview with the Vampire soundtrack again makes me think about what it’d be like to run VtM again, could I actually make the sort of game I really want, which is way more “exploring history” with some action and a fair amount of tragedy, all of which I think are way more compelling vampire things than politicking?

I mean academic since I barely have the focus to play games let alone run, but yeah.

“For Science,” TMBG => “The Day the Earth Stood Still” soundtrack suite => “Good Vibrations,” The Beach Boys

If there's ever money enough to be that frivolous I think I'd like a white noise machine so I can have the sound of rain falling in the chunk of summer when it just doesn't rain.

anyway, sleeping's being eh this morning

@mynameistillian my experience has been; people really like narrative to be clear-cut and wrap up easily.

Having a clear-cut and easily wrapped up narrative fits how public education relies on tests and grades as metrics, *and* how primary/secondary education are by definition going to be superficial survey classes. This is basically trying to jam the sloppiness of history and biology in particular into how you can make math and whatever language into a much cleaner technical exercise.

And unfortunately the whole set up already lends itself to authoritarian mindsets (among other things, because the authoritarians have soaked up a simplified, good-versus-evil narrative and want to believe in such). They're bound to push for more control over textbooks and what's available to read.

@frost @certifiedperson Congrats!

#drawings today, finishing up the space goblins (“just what do you think you are doing, Dave?”) and some not-Imperial Guard inspired by listening to the Aliens soundtrack while job hunting and someone’s build different Guard units video afterward. CW firearms!

@Axiom "Weepy Coleslaw" is my new, old Blues musician stage persona!

'ER NAME WAS PAULINE SHE LIVED IN A TREE
SHE WAS A NO-ONE WHAT KILLED 'ER BABY
SHE SENT A MESSAGE FROOM THE COONTRY
SHE WAS AN ANIMAL
SHE WAS A BLOODY DISGRACE!

@amagire I don’t think I was around for this…
