That’s an odd way to ask for clarity when you’re looking for help

Squeaker, Fire-belly, Poison Dart, Ghost, Parsley

That’s crazy, how can somebody not know what brand of laptop they…

HOLY SHIT ME TOO

I think the answer depends on how you define art.

Like, the artist in me wants to have a discussion about the appeal of abstraction versus impressionism, and whether you should compromise your artistic vision for the sake of commercial success.

The pessimist in me says that the most popular physical art is probably Pokemon trading cards and other merch.

“Physical Art” is a pretty broad category because there’s still a million mediums you can choose from. Would making prints of digital art count as physical art? That might be a question for the philosophers.

Anyway, if you’re looking to break into the scene then you should probably visit some craft fairs / galleries / tourist traps and see what they’re selling. Talk to the artists in the medium you want to explore.

Mandatory tipping is baloney. I feel like there’s a word for when you charge a required percentage on a transaction, but I’m taxing myself trying to think of it

I don’t get why restaurateurs think they’re special and don’t need to pay their employees a living wage.

Hotline Miami 2 comes with a digital comic series. Five comics by Maurizio Furini, Federico Chemello, and Alberto Massaggia. There’s quite a bit of character development and backstory here, particularly around the new Killer Beasts gang

Yeah, I think these goofy names are all based on trends. There’s probably some overlap between the people who would name their kids without regards for their kids’ feelings, and the people who would jump on some bandwagon or claim it as their own.

A distressingly common one I’ve been seeing is “Nevaeh” which is “Heaven” spelled backwards. If you’re devout enough to name your kid after the pearly gates though, you’d think you’d realize that backwards heaven is likely hell

The other comment points out that it’s only a case of selling steam keys where steam must have the lowest price.

I released a game a while back and while reading the terms it sounded like I couldn’t link my Steam store page to another storefront where the game was available cheaper. Which, honestly, also kind of fair.

But again, I think that’s really only if you’re selling steam keys. If you sold the game DRM-free on your own website, I can’t imagine they’d take down your company website.

If you link to an Itch page or something similar that might be a thornier issue because they’re primarily a storefront.

I’m of the opinion that my game costs X unless it’s discounted to Y. I don’t see the appeal to the end user of having a dozen different prices on a dozen different storefronts.

I could see a situation where a developer wants to always earn, say, $10 from their game. So on Steam it might sell for $13, on another platform it might be $11 to show the difference in platform fees. But I wouldn’t do that because it’s putting me before my players, and that’s not why I make games.

SON, YOU’RE 32 YOU CAN BUY YOUR OWN DANG CIGARETTES AWOOOOOOOO

Mom’s lasagna is the best. It’s the benchmark against which I compare any other lasagna.

She used to make a really great pizza too, but geez, it’s probably been decades since she made one

We’re not Italian, I guess I’m just nostalgic for the food of my youth

I had a kid at a summer camp where I was teaching have an unusual one maybe 5-6 years ago.

I’m going through the roll call, and there’s a kid who’s first name was listed as ABCDE. I think that’s pretty weird, so I assume it’s an error like somebody made a mistake on the intake form or the database garbled something.

So I skip over that one, and at the end I ask if I miss anyone. A girl puts up her hand so I ask for her name and she pronounces it like “Ab-siddy”

I realize they’re the same kid, and that her parents fucked her. I think she knew what was up and was kind of ashamed. Poor kid, I didn’t ask her to spell it

This might count as “unusual” punishment, but imo it’s far less cruel than what’s usually on the table on death row

Segue, what makes you more comfortable for B?

This 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
Or
That 🌕🌑🌑🌕🌑🌑

My first read I missed that the you were spinning the chamber between shots. I was thinking people pick B assuming its the first one and then get fucked the second way

Anyway, I think I’d go with C. If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen, and I didn’t get to death row by not believing in instant gratification

Mind the toothpick

If you’re a roller coaster enthusiast, you might get a kick out of the Euthanasia Coaster, or as I like to call it The Sui-Slide

Sounds to me like more time for pillagin’

I feel like a maker space with a tool library attached would be the best of both worlds.

I don’t have any major power tools because they’re a huge investment, and even if I did I wouldn’t have space to house them.

Some projects you can’t take to the maker space though. Most home improvement projects would require you to bring the tool to the site.

So anyway, I guess I want the best of both worlds.

Obligatory XKCD

I just finished Wind in the Willow and I have to say it’s a good book. Thanks for the recommendation, it definitely holds up.

When Mole came home for the holidays really affected me. I wish I had a friend as good as Rat, because even though Mole was ashamed of where he came from and had neglected his past, he still made him feel like home. And then the carollers visited and it was really quite wonderful. I guess home really is the people in your life. Fuck, now I’m crying again

I don’t know if I totally understood what was going on with the pan-goat. Then again, I’m not sure I was meant to.

Anyway, thanks again. I’ve been enriched by this book
