11.12.2025 19:30 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Well you're in it now π
11.12.2025 19:30 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Absolutely dootly. Nothing could possibly go wrong. I suspect it'll be entirely uneventful.
11.12.2025 19:22 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0π Don't be so negative...you'll leave The Minus with nothing to do π
I'd imagine that The Minus would be quite a rotund bat character...
I'm putting this on the back burner shelf. I like the idea of doing this story now.
True dat!
Reading update: Daisuke and Obito are going on a long trip! 83% in...π¬
If you have to spend your time dealing with Protools...how are you supposed to end up as anything but crazy? π
11.12.2025 18:16 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Have met sound doodes. Can confirm! π
11.12.2025 18:15 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Ha ha thank you kindly. Toren definitely has a certain charm π
11.12.2025 15:15 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Bless his socks. He did have a bad day π
11.12.2025 14:58 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0We are a very cute breed. π
11.12.2025 13:56 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Thank you kindly fa la la la aPam!
11.12.2025 13:40 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0All good engineers have a friendly voice. It might be indistinguishable to an untrained ear, but it exists π
11.12.2025 13:10 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 3 π 0Thank you kindly β₯οΈβ₯οΈ
11.12.2025 12:55 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Ha ha this is so early on I hope he has a few moves left π
11.12.2025 12:55 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Ha ha. I kinda think this could be a fun comic. If I had the powers of the drawingist I'd do it π The Minus Vs Negativa!
Two villains with the same power duel it out for the ultimate subtraction, leaving the world a peaceful and wholesome place.
Yeah it's a tough one because it felt right when I outlined but filling in the words it feels...forced. needs looking at.
11.12.2025 12:04 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0My super villain name is "The Minus" be wise I create negativity at all times. I will subtract joy and multiple anxiety and defeat. π
11.12.2025 12:02 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I can't imagine where you will be on Saturday! Probably Christmas eve. π
11.12.2025 11:59 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0That is incredibly painful. Bright side is tomorrow will actually be Friday and you can relive this without the heartache
11.12.2025 11:57 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The biggest con with software was the move to software as a service. I thanks Adobe for that atrocity. While it was annoying having to buy it again, you could just rock your old version as long as needed. 2007 does docx so everything else is just maybe nice to have, but not for the price they ask.
11.12.2025 11:32 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0He he I do enjoy a good rant. Especially if it serves no purpose other than venting.
11.12.2025 11:29 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0My copy of Office 2007 nods in approval of this message. π
11.12.2025 11:26 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Well I hope for their sakes that they can help each other. β₯οΈ
11.12.2025 11:21 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Exactly. Straining the characters so that they are encouraged to break is part of the process. If they break, it's one outcome, if they don't we learn something else about them.
11.12.2025 11:11 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0He tasted like orange juice and angst. - what a line π π₯
11.12.2025 11:07 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0That does not sound like a healthy relationship! But I guess getting healed is a positive π¬
11.12.2025 10:02 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Toren has that ability to make anyone feel bad for interrupting him. Because it's you, here is the bit that proceeded this rather agreeable helpful Toren π
11.12.2025 09:58 β π 12 π 2 π¬ 2 π 0Yeah it's not ideal to say the least. But luckily Toren isn't super busy and can rope a certain First Officer into helping him fix it π
11.12.2025 09:34 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0In everything before this WIP I was always incredibly plot and event focused. Characters were this annoyance that were needed because the story had to happen at someone.
The original outline for this story was that way. Really one horrible event after another. Now it's a boring character drama π
βI tell you what Alex, because itβs you, I wonβt turn the comm off, Iβll ask again, trusting youβll notice I'm using my friendly voice. So, whatβs up, shuttle problems?β The sound of a heavy out-breath. Nice touch. Dramatic. βYeah, the shuttle had some bounce on the ascent,β Alex explained. βHad to correct a few times because she kept pulling hard on the left. Toren took a moment. βHmmm,β He took another sip of coffee. βThe FO was soaked to the bone when I saw her. So obviously it was pissing down planetside. With the carbon shit in the air from atmos-processing, most likely a bit of crap got washed under the thruster cowling.β Alex spoke up, βUm-hmm. Felt like it wasnβt firing on full at. Rear side. Look, if youβre busy I can always ask Rec to send a plastobot? They ainβt good for much but they can hold a trolley and a ladder.β Toren poured the dregs of coffee into his mouth and felt his taste buds twitch. βNot gonna happen. One of those logic-brains will probably snap the thing off. No more thruster β no more problem. Iβll come down when I can. While we are here, how did the Doc get on with your boy, Ben is it?β βYeah, Ben, he should be good. Doc reckons itβll heal up fast, probably have a scar.β Toren let out a breath. βGood, This damn rust bucket is falling to bits. Donβt need people getting flash fried just walking down corridors. Iβll see you soon
Got a bunch but this one has a small follow up to yesterday's for those who couldn't sleep for worrying about poor Ben.
