A game's opening cinematic should sell you the vibe of the game. MENACE having its cinematic directed by the animator that made Astartes means it absolutely nails it

Round 2 of B&W reversal using Hydrogen Peroxide+EDTA+Citric Acid as the bleach.

This time I'm going to whip up a liter of dektol since the darkroom cookbook says it's good at print rehalogenation and that's close enough to what I'm doing.

So yeah, consider taking a Stop the Bleed course and put in some range time. If you don't know any friendly local armed leftists then check if Op. Blazing Sword has a volunteer near you.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" cost me the best job of my career. Just weeks after coming back from Davos, the CEO axed nearly everyone in North America.

Stock price immediately dropped in half and never recovered.
"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

Well, that B&W reversal bleach recipe definitely works. However, Lucky 100 absolutely cannot hang with it. The emulsion is completely gone.

I was really hoping I could just bulk load exactly how many slides I needed but I guess I'll have to try a full roll of Kentmere.

sorry everyone we at pencil company know you liked pencils, but we can't think of any new ideas for them, so we're discontinuing pencils tomorrow. also, you won't be able to access all your pencil drawings, please burn them, cool
Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale.

So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

Just assume everything you do is public and being watched in some capacity. Whether or not there are repercussions will depend on if you've put yourself on someone's radar.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of petty, morally bankrupt people at the wheel. Act according to your informed risk tolerance.

I was making the bleach for B&W reversal and mixed in the 40g of EDTA to the liter of hydrogen peroxide, waited for it to fully dissolve, then went to add the sodium bicarbonate

aaaand I completely forgot baking soda volcanoes are a thing. Kinda needed to add that slower, woopsies

I have until Saturday to make usable B&W slides, which means I need to buy a liter of hydrogen peroxide after work today. Hopefully the emulsion on Lucky 100 survives the redox.

Chat, no big deal.

It turns out Notepad++ was compromised at the infrastructure level and if you downloaded or updated Notepad++ after September, 2025 or before December, 2025, an unknown state-sponsored actor has compromised your machine.

I was dealing with this while doing damage control after my discord compromise so I couldn’t post about it sooner and I had to get things in order.

I have returned with offerings on the final eve of the #ShittyCameraChallenge

A five pointed star was annointed with cameras most shitty and birthed the divine Charmera. All captured in glorious DIY peel apart on the Polaroid kissed by Papa Shitty Cams himself!

Fixed out some more paper to use as the positive receiver. I don't think I can cobble together this as a *roll* of peel apart this quickly, but goddamnit, I will shoot peel apart out of that Polaroid 800 by hand loading it.

The Elder Gods demand it.
