It has been heartening to see the number of people that have been dunking on this atrocious design.

I'll be giving an artists talk about DEATHMATCH at Bert Green Fine Arts on Saturday, September 20th, at 3pm.

Should be a good one. I've been watching War Thunder streams almost non stop for reference material.

A green blob creature, with gloves and shoes on walks happily, while onlookers yell "hey look, here comes high concept Jimothy!"
Another yells "He's gonna do the thing he's famous for!"

Jimothy turns upside down and opens his mouth.
An onlooker yells "It's so cool Jimothy has an established premise that can be used as a framework for jokes."
Another opines "I love Jimothy's recurrent feature."

Jimothy writhes on the ground, growing incredibly long, and changing hough slightly, a skull emerging from his mouth. To what purpose he is doing this is not clear.
One of the observers says "You go, Jimothy!"

Finally, Jimothy begins to phase through the sidewalk, leaving a pile of bones in his wake.
A satisfied onlooker says "that's our Jimothy."

Built a 10" mini rack as a LAN party luggable. Worked great!
Just published a full build log/files/BOM should anyone want to build their own.

Sometimes I think about how the bird population has dipped about 70% or more since the 60s.

DEATHMATCH was in large part inspired by this interaction I had with @aramshabanian.bsky.social, and many other that have happened since.

A custom water-cooled PC housed in a cast aluminum ouroboros runs a looping mod of Counter-Strike, where two bots endlessly kill each other. The aluminum doubles as both frame and radiator, warming the serpentโ€™s body to a lifelike temperature.
