Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@Leucrotta Well, let's just say I'm thinking this a lot and <end of file>. >_<

It's not like we didn't try to save them from themselves. And it's not our problem that marching themselves wide-eyed and eager off a microbial cliff happens to be very good for us sociopolitically.

I really need to start getting more fiber

Happy September 9804th, 1993.

@Phorm a National Science Foundation wish poll?

This poor woman's been doing nothing but complain for the last hour and a half, about everything from her friends' parents to her medical bills, and you know what? I haven't heard a single thing that doesn't sound like a valid complaint. She obviously really needed a good bitch session with a friend. Man, the millennials got good and screwed.

@Oneironott OK, you're going to have to clarify. Is dives a verb or a noun here? And if you're talking about seedy hangouts for foxes, are you going to provide addresses and passwords, and do they admit other seedy forest creatures? ​

@woozle I am catched cold in the brain.

@chandra Thank you! It's been a good one so far!

Sitting outside at the Bean Gallery, listening to a legal assistant complain about the abusiveness and entitlement of the partners at her firm, and I've never wished more that my family still had enough Mafia connections that I could offer to buy her a few messy public hit jobs for her birthday. >__<

@mmsword Shoo. Be. Doo.

"Neptunian childrens television."

Those of you who know, already know deep down what it would look and sound like.

Never mind the children's content, I'd forgotten that the analog synths on the Pinwheel theme were this groovy. If anybody could recommend a band that sounds like this -- you know, without the kids' choir -- I would be most grateful. I guess basically just "Boards of Canada without the secret messages and forests full of faceless space elf children." O_o

Oh, let's make it a double-feature. I don't think I've made all of you listen to the Thinkabout theme song yet. Folks... I grew up swimming in this stuff.

@Austin_Dern I SHALL NOT CLOWN! I SHALL... NOT... CLOWN!</professor_nebulous>

@Austin_Dern @Austin_Dern Noice work, coati. You made Anthracite go nuts and you've seriously creeped me out.

#seriousclowncare

(apologies to the Brothers Chaps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW14YWw3h1E)

(also, Anthy going nuts might have had something to do with the multi-minute "commercial" for clown.space I did in a Pennywise voice...)

tuesday city park =(^).(^)=

we were bad and fed 'em

from a polite distance

@hystericempress In the series and in reality, yeah. It's impressive how well it works as a political metaphor too, isn't it.

That wonderful moment has come, where the new batch of people with my exact (and fairly uncommon, but more common than I expected) RL given name has overwhelmed all my embarrassing Google search results. ^______^

Now all I gotta do is get my Parallax credit to the first page. It will come with time, if we ever even finish/release the damn thing.

@xinjinmeng I remember this one! Early TTRPG design at its most rococo. It left an impression on me, and I kinda miss this kind of obsessive chart-based design.

@Verdigris Sure!
