@DONTBANTHISACCOUNT Because Lemmy is Russian. and Kbin is Polish. And I dont like how either are behaving these days, but I guess the Polish are a little better.
@CorrodedCranium true, when i started, i used to eat after because everything tasted so good. but now i eat before so that i dont feel hungry. but ill save a little snack aha
@squiblet hi, i think recycled plastics and such. not entirely sure. it's just the straps with the ring in the middle. i have one that i could use as a template. i guess i could also think about using other materials but unsure which
When I die (Mby this weekend) don't y'all dare to say some "She's in a more peaceful place now" kinda shit.. I'll be in hell beating up Ronald Reagan ok??
i just want to remind everyone what the unstoppable Cab Calloway taught us a long time ago.. i call it Calloway's Law of Musical Dynamics.. Cab said that for every Hi-Dee-Hi, there must be a Ho-Dee-Ho.. i think it's good to remind ourselves of the important things once in a while.. rock on everyone..
@CyberCatBytes I guess we're in similar situations, but I had influences that drove me the other way. The ones I can think of right now: Wolfenstein, Commander Keen, Doom, Transport Tycoon Deluxe, SimCity, Populous, and Battletech. Oh, and of course Shadow President. Most of the games I played didn't have a specific political outlook; it's just the way that success was gained, and recognizing how that's applied in the real world.
I enter my local Savings & Trust branch by the grocery store. I wait in line while those ahead of me dejectedly sign up for a 30-year 10% APY mortgage. I finally get to the front of the line. The bank manager is working the teller line today. This is a dark omen, she hates me for some reason. I think she assumes that I don't know what Escrow means. "ID please." I provide her my driver's license and begin to state the reason for my visit. "It seems like my mortgage was double paid for the month of August. Would it be possible to-"
"I can't find you in the system sir." Excuse me? I've been a customer for 10 years here. Every time I provide my driver's license, you bring up my accounts without issue. Why did that change today? "Is your address 101 Blueberry Lane?" No... flip over the license. I've been at a new address for 3 years now. They should know this because they hold the mortgage on the new address. 1/
"I'm not paying, you're going to open your Loan Explorer and reverse the payment by hand." "I can't reverse payments in Silver Loan Explorer Plus sir." Don't test me, snake. I worked on Loan Explorer this very Monday, I know well what it is capable of. I begin speaking in tongues reciting the old magic of running queries directly on a production environment. "Select star from account where account number like open quotes percent sign..." Dark clouds began to form over the branch. Deposit slips begin whirling around the teller counter. "Update transaction set status equals reversed where transaction number equals..." I chant more forcefully, the wind carrying my voice throughout the branch. Thunder cracks in the distance. "Commit!" I bellow, and at once all the flying papers drop to the floor. The branch is stunned into silence. 4/
"Thank you for your help today. Oh, one last thing..." I say as I pick up my rustled witch's hat. I utter final forbidden spell.
"I'd like to take my business elsewhere."
Lightning strikes the building. The pneumatic tubes running to the drive thru teller stations blow open and resound a deafening ominous note, like a massive organ at a Prague cathedral. The lights dim and all the computer screens turn to black and display a Spirit Halloween skull and cross bones laughing in demonic tones. The floor splits open to reveal Hell beneath our feet. The cash in the vault bursts into flames and the cash boxes melt.
"Have a wonderful rest of your day!" I say cheerily as I stroll out of the branch before it is consumed by Hellfire and cheap Halloween ornaments. I laugh gleefully as I fly away on my fucking magic broom. /5
@Osvaldoilustrador Nice! I don't know anything about the source material, but the way you did the fabric folds and shading (especially for the two on the right) is fantastic!
