"Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike"

I just tried that grip, and yeah, it feels really good for taking pics one-handed

Sidenote: it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine when people talk about Venn diagrams as if it's something that shows how much two things overlap

Dear people that post things online, especially if you're posting on behalf of companies.

Don't put black and white photos of people's faces with dates under them. It makes it look like they died.

I know they are the speaker at your conference and the date, but initially it does not look like that

Break it down

Digital illustration made in Procreate depicting a warmly lit home office in the early 2000s. On the office desk is a teal and white early iMac G3. A black cat is half-crouched with the computer mouse in its mouth, staring at the viewer as though caught mid-hunt. The scene is littered y2k objects. The wall has a poster of Rihanna and of Britney Spears' "Oops!... I Did It Again" album cover. Items on the office desk include a blank CD stack, a pink lava lamp, a VHS on top of a Blockbuster case, and an old landline phone.

A comic panel with two medieval guards talking. The first asks: "Am I in trouble?", and the other replies while pointing: Nah, everyone fucks the snake on their first day. I mean, look at it". Comic by Oglaf

A series of pictures showing various kinds of Late Medieval spear heads, or at least polearms. It shows a guisarme with a curved slashing blade fitted with a long top-pointing side spike, a cutting spear with a blade like that of a sword, an oxe tongue which likewise has a broad cutting blade, a winged spear which is pointier and with side flukes, and an ahlspiess which has a long diamond section spike on top of a disc guard.

A series of picture showing very medieval looking medieval weapon, with a handful of axes with funky blades, a wiry looking pole hammer, some very chonky warhammers and goedendags fitted with various patterns of spikes, a bollock dagger with a big brass knob at the end, and a grossmesser which just looks like a falchion until you realise it's the length of a longsword.

Pictures of various sorts of European warhammers, from short to long to blunt and spiky and even a big mallet.

Pictures of various falchions throughout the years, showing the different blade geometry those broad cutting swords had until they started kinda just looking like sabers towards the Renaissance.

Reposting my old weapon plates because they're fun.

A few pictures of early firearms drawn without a whole lot of consideration for accuracy for the most part. And don't get me wrong I do mean historical accuracy even those were shit at range.

A series of angry looking swords labelled "Chaos Tools" after that (in)famous Far Side comic. An executioner sword made of bronze with hound heads on the hilt and pommel called the Red Rocket, with a leather sheath at the base and a wide spatulated blade covered in patina. A cinquedea short sword that looks to be melting and made out of a fleshy material, with the pommel being an eyeball, called the Five Finger Discount. An anthropomorphic antenna sword with two sharply pointed blades from the hilt and the pommel, with the top one featuring slight serration, called the Thagomizer, after the late Thag Simmons. A tulwar hilted straight sword with a wide bifurcated tip and a crescent like protusion on its cutting edge, with serrations and organic looking fullers throughout. It is simply called BITE BITE BITE. A large pigsplitter cleaver called Cheese Steak Jimmy's. A longsword cobbled together out of rusty roofing nails with a warhammer's head at its peak, called Nine Inch Nails.

A series of turn-of-the-century weapons labelled as Spade Opera, aka 1900's fantasy (something I coined some time ago). It includes a bull barrel Webley Fosbery semi automatic revolver, a Fairbairn Sykes dagger, a Spencer 1882 shotgun with a wooden heat shield, an adjustable muzzle brake and a bayonet lug, a Frommer Stop carbine with an underbarrel tubular magazine and a silencer, a very large stocked pepperbox rifle, and a stick grenade.

A handful of pictures showing different types of fire lances, which preceded regular firearms as we know them, as well as a Sturmspieß which was a similar concept used way later in history as a siege weapon.

I can often track when someone had used those as reference back in the days because they are not really accurate to any museum piece.

A picture of two poleaxes labeling their different parts.

A picture listing the do's and dont's of designing a halberd, comparing that halberd that everyone draws with something based off of museum examples.

Various bardiches and two handed axes for your chopping pleasure.

A picture of a hand mortar, aka a flintlock grenade launcher, as well as a cut out view of both the barrel geometry and the composition of the grenade itself.

Altho that being said I think they should teach children how to draw halberds properly in school.

By my estimate, one nipple is poking somewhere around Myanmar or Thailand, and the other one in the Pacific

...don't ask why I'm fixated on those details

Pixel art of various animal themed robot bosses. The tag at the top says MegaGear X

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.

Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

I feel these days Uff da isn't strong enough.

a man in a protest holding a sign that has written on it the phrase from the post

During the protests of the 2008-2011 Icelandic financial crisis, a term that became quite popular was "Helvítis fokking fokk" or "God damn fucking fuck"

Only caring about your own rights is exactly how you lose them. Says Skeletor looking at all the open carry sword folks.

You know Victor Hugo's Tumblr would whip ass.

tbf it is quite recent

Weather forecast for Ottowa, Canada. Meteorlogist stands in fromt of a screen listing Freezing rain, Light snow, and Furries Wednesday. Clearly a typo of "flurries," but is seems that Ottowa will be getting furries instead!

Watch out, Ottowa. Wednesday looks like it'll be a doozy!

The only thing trans people are guilty of is being hot and/or spending too much money on Warhammer figurines.

This sounds good, but i naturally worry that something like this might be too good to be true.
I'd like to hear more about it from other people who aren't trying to sell it to me.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it

Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

Elith: "'Pirated' Museum?" Ling: "Everything here is sorta academic contraband. But also Lucy just really likes pirates." Lucy: "Ahoy!"

Lucy: "Those scurvy dogs at Quantification can send near anything in the city to Davy Jones's Locker at the drop of a hat! That's why honest, hard-working thieves have built this home for the almost-forgotten!" Elith: "You stole the Archaeology Department?" Lucy: "They weren't using it."

Captain Crime explains the media preservation role of piracy.

A picture of a falcon and a drawing based on that picture. It stares right up at the camera, looking timid and afraid

My guess: shareholders are allergic to good design
