Not quite finished, but it’s a strong start to spooky season at the Tupper house!

I see a spot begging for some deep tissue 😜

Back 🤤

Yes 🥴

😍

I’m definitely enjoying this mood 🤤 🥴

Yes

Remember when we used to have lengthy Congressional review sessions before any act could get passed through pretty much any legislature? Hearings, public commentary, experts from the field the new policy would impact? Remember when that was actually quoted in healthy debates? Man, I miss those days.

This is why I like wood pellet grills. No propane. No charcoal, just pellets that last for several rounds of cooking as long as the hopper’s a decent size. Temp self-regulates, machine self-ignites, etc. the cleanup is the only difficult part, but the wood smoke flavor is 🤤

I wish! Haha. I would love to work on game art and/or stories.

This is what I made with the tools the game gave me. It’s got a really great character creator in it 🤗

This is one I made in the game’s character creator. 😊

Noooooo! That was how I got a lot of my materials 😞

But this was just one storyboard that made so much more sense to put in game. Might have been too much animation or had you “onto him” too early for the story arc ending they wanted to tell.

I’m trying to remember her exact wording. I’ll have to go back and look. I believe there are some allusions. And honestly, that’s what storyboards are for. Visualizations of ideas as they’re being thrown against a wall to see what sticks/build the world outside of what fits in game.

Now, that’s not to say I don’t appreciate what we got. The environmental storytelling was good. Bodies left to rot in hallways leading to a bloodbath was wicked. I just feel more personal stakes, a stronger twist, and a more horror-like edge with longer teases would’ve fit my writing preferences.

I really, really liked that angle. It would have given Illario more than just “I want power” as motive, and the reveal could have been even more gnarly than what made it in. Could have led to a more intense lead up to when the hammer fell.

I love classic horror tension building and tragedies 🤷‍♂️

Agh! I deleted to reword more clearly, but you beat me to it haha.

There were storyboards where Illario was in a romantic relationship with Zara. It might have been compulsion via blood magic, but there were definitely some sexually charged frames.

Raw, next question 🤤

In this specific case, I think he was telling people it was a good time to buy his meme coin

In this case, he can’t claim to be ignorant of it anyway. He was already slapped with a warning over his behavior in the PA presidential election last year. He did it with full knowledge and intent.

I might need to check out the deluxe version upgrade now, then. I didn’t have the funds to buy the fancy version at launch.

Russia violated this and 2 other agreements/treaties. That’s why Ukraine opted not to renew the later agreements and sought NATO membership. It wasn’t out of nowhere. They saw Russia not honoring their commitments and world powers not doing enough because they weren’t part of the alliance.

*here. I apologize for my fat thumbs.

We were hear, shouting into the void, gritting our teeth at their maddening dismissal, jeers, and mocking language. They never WANTED to listen.

I mean, you can make him a lich and then tell him to ditch the glamor. He’s technically always hard then 😏

I’ll see myself out, but first, my outro:

🎶 booooooone daddy 🎶

It’s 56. You’re thinking the general retirement/social security age. Due to the nature of their jobs, the stress, and the diligence required, air traffic controllers are forced into mandatory retirement at 56 with very rare, stringent exceptions that can stretch it to 61.

Yeah. I actually do want to take those surveys so they know what our biggest concerns and interests are. I want that data used—but the answers aren’t recorded unless you pay up. We pay taxes. You get a salary! This isn’t a fucking campaign! Do your job without your hand out for more!
