2000ad have a lot of great artists, so standing out amongst them in the way Henry Flint does is a testament to his skill. (and getting some of his original art is definitely a bucket list item for when things are sane here)

Anderson and the lighthouse. I used Teignmouth’s lighthouse as reference. Also crosshatching seems to make things more spooky, love a bit of crosshatch.

*grump* Fine. How about this magnificent tiger

Fiore's tiger grasping an arrow. Which, to be honest looks more like a rat. The animals presented in the book are renowned for their inaccuracies

Flu jab done.. Not time for COVID booster yet.

Still impressed with just how fast and no-nonsense it all is. Was done standing- would have taken 3-4 times longer if I had to sit down and stand up again.

How about an improvement on this?

Trans men seem to experience mental illness and neurodiversity as men, and trans women as women.

Because this is outside control, inherent to the functions of the brain itself it lends

Corpsie @thecorpsie.bsky.social · 1d

I wonder how it would cope when the neurodivergents rise as one and systematically disembowel the company.

Ah yes that’s what was missing from open plan offices: more people talking all the time

Alt text: A tweet from Allie K. Miller reads: “This is absolutely insane and proof that voice is about to transform the workplace. At Wispr, employees use voice hundreds of times a day to multitask across their entire workflow. Here’s one dev using Cursor and Gmail simultaneously, all through WHISPERING, on a $10 mic.” Below the text is a photo of a man seated at a desk in a modern open-plan office, speaking softly into a small desktop microphone while looking at a wide computer monitor that displays code and an open Gmail inbox. The workspace has large windows, high ceilings, and exposed ventilation ducts.

I like puppies because I always feel like my shins and calves need a good cleaning while I'm having serious conversations.

I don't trust the government with anything more advanced than an etch-a-sketch @mrjamesob.bsky.social

The LLM/"AI" harvesting and gullibility from the government makes me really uneasy. I don't want to open up more to the thievery industry than I have to.

I'm an absolute sucker for interesting game mechanics. I've seen a review for the DIE rpg and the only things stopping me are a distinct lack of money and a PILE of unused games and minis that will be personally offended if I add to them

Kieron Gillen @kierongillen.bsky.social · 1d

Expect to see me banging the Die-drum a bunch across the next week. You need to get your orders in a week on Monday. It doesn't even need to be formal - talk about the books you like to the retailer, and it effects their orders. Now back to making marketing material.

DIE: Loaded has just been announced, where @stephaniehans.bsky.social and myself are back at @imagecomics.com and doing our goth jumanji thing to its fullest effect.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social

An industry based on fraud and theft with no real defined use has a chance of destroying the US economy if it collapses.

It's going to be hyped up even more now and flaws glossed over. If it was such a good product, it would sell itself.

A friend sent me this article and genuinely it’s f***ing insane and I can strongly recommend reading it. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Just Not HEMA. I can accept that a Spaniard has a thick Scottish Accent, but knowing exactly how to defeat the Highlander in any given moment is a touch immersion breaking.

Motability is only claimable if you have the enhanced rate of mobility impairment as defined by PIP.

You need 12 or more points and to get that on psychological alone - you have to be unable to go anywhere without assistance. ADHD, would need to be crippling to qualify. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

As someone who was a mopey gamer boy targeted by cultish (and use that word with full knowledge) incel recruitment. They can fuck right off and keep fucking off until the curvature of the earth threatens to bring them back.

They are a vicious cult, and any sanitising needs to be challenged.
