pipe dream, print ad (1991) archive.org/details/vgce...

a dude climbing between a maze of pipes, attempting to attach one pipe that is lose, however he is very high up and at the risk of falling (could possibly be in the process of slipping with the shocked look on his face).
quote:
"...it's just as addicting as tetris." -nintendo power may/june 1990
more text (all in caps):
get ready for a mind-wrenching experience.
pipe dream.
what if you had a whole warehouse full of plumbing parts
coming at you! and you had to build a huge pipeline out of them? what if there was a big puddle of slimy green stuff called flooz? and it was running through the pipes right behind you? well, that's the whole idea behind pipe dream. it has basic, expert,
and two-player modes. it has 256 levels to get into. and you get bonus rounds every four levels. you already know what nintendo power magazine says about it but there's only one way to see how intense
pipe dream really is. go down to your nes/game boy dealer and see for yourself
more text underneath an in game screenshot:
it takes about five seconds
to get the idea. it can take a
lifetime to get good at it.
really good.

digital illustration showing felix and sylvain from fe3h set in an alternative universe. Felix is portrayed as a large black wolf and the two of them are facing each other in a snowy terrain surrounded by birch trees engulfed in yellow light. The drawing is framed by a red frame with white swirly patterns.

Years ago I went through a phase of putting chicken legs on ... stuff?
Everything I've ever made has always been a bit absurd and self-indulgent.

For example: here is a breakfast radish on legs, which I made of wool and wire.

Photo of an object in front of a plain white background. The object is a soft-sculpture made of wool. It's a breakfast radish in red and white with white roots growing out of the bottom and big leafy dark green leaves growing from the top. It's also in a bird pose and standing on two bright orange chicken legs. It's an odd animal.

I sometimes read old gaming magazines and stumbled upon this "babe of the year" section from Playstation: The Official Magazine.

If I was the editor I would have gently suggested this writer be put down like a rabid dog

The fact we only have the Sonic OVA soundtrack because some guy thought "maybe I can look through the credits & just ask each person who worked on it politely" is really funny to me.

These just reminded me of the plates in jack plate armor, which are sewn or riveted in place to a fabric backing

Would it be possible to pierce a few tiny holes with something like a pin vise and sew it on? Or, alternatively, attach them using pin backs (esp. locking ones)? Mechanical connections like that are often more secure and tolerant of fabric's flexibility than adhesives, which hate non-rigid surfaces.

How does something like this attach to the fabric?

Genuinely I think Ursula K Le Guin would love the Dororo anime in terms of how well it articulates what makes a society like Omelas dysfunctional and unsustainable at a basic fundamental level even if they never ran out of kids to put in that basement

Anybody know much about making your own website that is not tied to a platform that will fuck you over at some point? I can't stop writing essays but I really don't want to put anything on Tumblr anymore.

(This morning it's about Dororo and its amazing structural view of trolley problems)
