I dug through my old "furry" box to dig out my sketchbook. Convention badges, real paper comics, and... some pictures of my lifemate.

I knew I wanted to talk about that one of these days, but I didn't expect to get hit in the face with it.
Maybe later.

@Firstaide I was going to wonder if your imagination would be better than mine on this and my sketch would only ruin it :o

Here's that Transformers oc sketch I was talking about. I don't have a scanner anymore, so just a phone pic.

what even is hand

@Firstaide Ha, sure! Would you like me to dig up my sketch first, or tackle it yourself without preconceptions?

My first (and so far only) Transformers OC was a hard drive. In robot mode, it used the read/write head array as a claw weapon, and a platter as a shield. I have a bad sketch somewhere.

... specifically, it was a Western Digital 80gb 7200rpm ATA/100 8mb cache drive. Was super cutting edge at the time. I'm such a nerd. awoo.space/media/sH78__EmzIj8J awoo.space/media/BDE1pmR5eEZ2P

(you don't really explicitly *have* to play a gay orc, or even a particular gender, but funtimes with other orcs is crucial)

"This may be your last night alive. As the sun sets, you see the fires of the enemy on the horizon and think of the life you've spent alongside the other orcs here. Can you tell them how you really feel, here at the end of everything?"

"You are a champion amongst orcs. The Warlord is dead by an assassin's hand. You have received orders from the Great Khan: your fortress is the last defence that stands between the armies of your enemy and your home city, and you must sell your lives dearly.

Oh, suddenly reminded of this old MMO-user-base targeted ad:

"You should at least have some friends over to help."

Religion? Politics? Bill Nye 

@gomego @Tehfraga I did want to make something clear here. My intent is to explain my beliefs and why I feel that way. I do not mean any personal attacks. I will not continue the conversion of I can't help appearing otherwise.

Religion? Politics? Bill Nye 

@Tehfraga It's very science-centric of me. If it can't pass controlled double-blind testing without p-hacking or other cheats, it's not science. Plenty of things that used to be called "folk remedies" &etc. can pass these tests, be shown to reliably work, and thus science-based.

Religion? Politics? Bill Nye 

@Tehfraga I myself put no truck in any "alternative" medicine, or any non-science trying to masquerade itself as science. I don't want to be rudely dismissive of belief systems, but religion should stick to religion, and science should stick to science. I even granulate between "science based medicine" and "evidence based medicine".
Though I'll try not to be a hypocrite, and watch the show with an open mind myself.

Religion? Politics? Bill Nye 

Oh man after a great review like that, I totally have to watch this now.

@grime_witch@witches.town I don't think there's anything about Undertale that doesn't make me cry a little when I really think about it. 😢
(it's only the batteries, I whisper to myself, preferring not to think of the bad end au)
