That is a gorgeous, heart warming photo.

Hope your big day will be nothing short of fantastic!

Being pedantic but doesn’t “factoid” mean a false bit of info?

So in that case it’s a great example of a factoid because the average person does _not_, in fact, take 3 benzos a year.

These were interesting suggestions! Especially the Justice of Kings sounds well intriguing.

Will have a look and nudge my wife as well, she’s mad into such books as well.

I’ve actually read Mistborn, not sure how I forgot to mention it, lol.
It was a little too anime-y but I did enjoy it.

And the cursed “stay physically active” always makes it way in somehow as well.

I mean fair, I was mostly jesting.

But while they do present very male-y but I recall them being sterile and sexless in a manner? As in that this is removed from them?

Not that it removes the clear maleness, brother this & brother that.

The IRL reasons for this is also just sad butit tracks.

I thought Mr. Norrel & Jonathan Strange had an interesting approach to magic: academic, down to earth & practical but with a hint of the mania & mental cost.
Robin Hobb had interesting takes on magic as well. 🤔

I’ve no experience with mystical & Eldritch magic tho, so can’t say about that.

Not sure if it lead to anything but you know what, you got me to block them after seeing a few of their interactions here.

I’ve enjoyed Bluesky and I hope it won’t go down to the same path as Twitter did.
Here’s hoping.

Where can I find this list?
A quick google didn’t bring me to it.

Häll @jjhaell.bsky.social · 19d

There’s a weird lack of _good_ magic systems.

There’re some decent to good ones (Mr. Norrel & Jonathan Strange was an interesting take even if mundane) but especially the odd, weird, mysterious & Eldritch ones simply don’t seem to exist.

Or maybe I just don’t know of them? 🤔
Any suggestions?

Been a while since I read WH-lore so this might be a stupid question but I always thought that space marines are de facto genderless?

But if you have to have a gender, I suggest the following: female, male, space wolf or dreadnought.

But more realistically, you only have one: adeptus astartes

Yeah, this is more if a northern vs southern Europe thing in my mind.
In the north places close way earlier.

Kinda makes sense what with winter and all. Same as it makes sense to stay open later in the south.

Ah, you’re the illustrious John Warhammer then?
A pleasure to meet you.

Ngl, was a little disappointed at the image first bc it felt like cheap.

But then I saw the fella opposite of her was also in a tank top & pauldrons + in the bottom left we’ve a fully armoured one.

Also, autocorrect is giving “Paul’s drones” for pauldrons for me as well. What nonsense is this?

I’ve just introduced the Tim Tam slam to my office mates in Finland.

Even after a demonstration it was met with confusion & a fair amount of suspicion.
But once I managed to lure one of them to try it & the others saw the bliss upon his face at the end of it, they all wanted it.

We got ‘em. 🫡

Would it have been better if Canada didn’t recognise Palestine?

This is a step in the right direction. Frankly, much more needs to happen & this should’ve been done ages ago but it’s still a great step.

Celebrate this & keep the momentum for changing.
Don’t douse the fire before it ignites.

Exactly why the upcoming EU Consumer Rights rule is so important.

“This [Directive] means consumers must be able to exercise their right of withdrawal through a clear, user-friendly mechanism, like a button or prominently labelled link (e.g. “Cancel my contract” or “Withdraw from contract here”).”

Häll @jjhaell.bsky.social · Sep 19

Ah, fair play.
That makes sense.

Häll @jjhaell.bsky.social · Sep 19

That’s a rather simplistic view of consent.
It’s not signing contracts or begging for sex. I mean it can be that too, I suppose.

Consent is also someone clearly wanting you, consent is someone being into having sex with you, consent is someone going “yesyesyesYES!” during sex & so on & so forth.

This is the kind of tinkering I remember from the 90s and early 00s PC-gaming.

How very considerate of Randy to let us all relive those days.

This is how I find out that Robert Redford died??

Bloody hell..
We lost a beautiful man.

AFAIK, no controversies, no creepy behaviour, no antivaxx, not a racist bastard. (yeah, the bar is low 😔)
Just wonderful performances & a smile that would melt you.

May the soil be soft for you, Robert. ✌️

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

While I adore this & watched it many, many times as wee bairn, I will never not chuckle at Aragorn aaaaalmost doing the Disney knees.

My only takeaway from this is that my experience playing multiplayer games in the 90s on a modem and the worst possible ping known to mankind would've made me more than qualified to work at NASA.

These seats in a bus look like a 90s texture, before bump mapping or any of that fancy nonsense.

Nothing but simple optical illusions, just like god intended.

#textures #texturing #gamedev

A bus bench with a grey coat in an afternoon light. The he texture has circles on it and the circles are differing in depth by the look of it, even when it’s just an illusion created by the design of the circles.
