FieldExplores (Gator Days)

This is where someone at the Overwatch office would write "RGBee" on the dry erase board. Everyone stares for a solid 30 seconds before they erupt into cheers.

A bear with a giant slingshot. He's carrying a giant beehive filled with robot bees. He wears a tanktop with a cartoon bee on the front.

I saw this right when I got a big urge to procrastinate. I never played Overwatch so I have no clue what the design standards are but I figured a bear carrying around a beehive filled with robot bees would have potential.

Robin - Gator Days Characters Stuart - Quokka - Sectional Manager. He almost always has a massive smile plastered on his face. Robin - Wolf - He's exhausted and wants to go home. Transcript Panel 1 Robin is working hard when his boss comes to his desk to talk to him about something. Stuart is doing that thing where he says "knock knock" when he has already opened the door he could have actually knocked on. Stuart: Knock knock! Got a minute, Rob? Robin: Yeah... And it's Robin. Robin does not like correcting people about his name but tries to do so immediately before things get out of hand. Panel 2 Stuart is perplexed. Robin looks much more like a Rob to him. Stuart: Really? You look more like a Rob. Robin: I've always gone by Robin. Behind Robin is a picture of his mom and himself when he was younger. A lot of people assume that it's a wife and kid which is another assumption that Robin tries to correct. Robin finds the office exhausting. Panel 3 Stuart: That's great! Stuart says this with a triumphant pose and tone. He is ready to move on from this conversation. Panel 4 Stuart: So Rob, we got some new numbers and I'll need you to- Robin briefly contemplates how much he needs this job. Stuart has pulled out his phone that has the new numbers. It says "67 = $?"

I haven't played this in a long time. I'm surprised it's not on the Switch.

I had to read some home ec material years ago that greatly underestimated inflation. Saying stuff like, "You should aim to make $400 a month to live comfortably but with inflation you might eventually need to make up to $500 a month to maintain the same lifestyle.

And on the sixth day, Miyamoto created Mario and saw that it was great. And great games last forever. So says the E3 2000 brochure, which led us to a time of great revelation. For that summer a sacred wealth of joy was revealed unto us. Paper Mario, Majora's Mask, Perfect Dark, and Banjo-Tooie.

I actually watch everything in private browsing now for this exact reason. When it gets really bad, I just clear it all and the recommendations suddenly work way better.

I've had a few times where I've clicked and it's been an AI translated and dubbed video that was originally in another language and it's also just a plot summary and now they keep popping up because I clicked one of them.

Not yet, but I'd like to make that happen down the road. I haven't been a good place to get a merch shop together yet but I consistently keep an eye out for options.

His mind is somewhere else right now. Panel 4 August has returned to Gustopher. He won't be able to get back to work until everything is made right. August: I need to hear that song.

I never thought of it but sunglasses seem like a good thing to bring to any movie just in case. It's rare that I go but I always bring ear plugs for a similar reason.

Afterlife - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Liam and Gustopher are on a swing set. Gustopher is enjoying the day at the park and Liam is slowly growing more and more anxious about mortality. Standard kid stuff. Liam: What do you think happens after we die? Gustopher: I don't know. Panel 2 Liam goes back on the swing, his mind is going through the possibilities. Liam: Yeah... No one knows. Is there a heaven? Panel 3 Liam swings forward and his uncertainty grows. Liam: Maybe there's nothing? Or something we can't even imagine. Panel 4 Liam's swing goes back as Gustopher's goes forward. Liam: It's scary. Gustopher: It's exciting!

Is this why everyone I know with a new place has a bunch of lego flowers? Is this the new trendy housewarming gift?

Forest Relic 2: Crafting Update - Gator Days Panel 1 Gustopher has found something amazing in the woods. It's a stick! Sticks are cool. He runs to show it to Hannah. Gustopher: HANNAH! Check of this stick! Panel 2 Hannah does agree that the stick is admirable but she is not one to be outdone. She has also found something interesting in the woods. Hannah: Yeah, that's cool. But is it cooler than this rock? She holds up a smooth oval shaped rock. It's one of those ones that would be amazing for skipping but you won't want to do it because it's so good. There's parts that sparkle in the sunlight. Rocks are cool. Gustopher: Let Liam decide! Panel 3 Liam is sitting on a stump and checking out the neat stick and rock that he has been asked to judge. next to him is a little bit of string. Foreshadowing is a literary device. This stick and rock are pretty sweet. Liam: They're both cool. But what if... Panel 4 Liam has read the wiki and knows the ancient art of crafting. He has tied the rock to the top of the stick which has increased the coolness factor and improves the stick's bludgeoning stats while providing +3 INT. Everyone is impressed. Hannah: Whoa! Liam: Magic staff. Gustopher: THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!

Being able to recognize when the fix is too complicated for yourself is a blessing too.

This is also why I always refer to someone else with hardware issues because it's aspect of computers where I instantly lose my ability to understand what's going on.

IT Dance - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August is at the office and looking at a computer that's being difficult. It can't seem to connect to the network. The screen says "ERROR No connection So alone". Poor computer. August tried the usual fixes but the problem isn't obvious. He's begun searching for answers on his phone with a search engine called "searchle". August: This might take a while to fix. Robin: Okay, let me know when it's- Panel 2 Robin has noticed that August is searching online for solutions. Why did he even bring IT into this when he could have done that himself? Robin: Wait, you're just looking up how to fix it on your phone! I could have done that. August: You still can do that. Panel 3 Robin looks to the side and contemplates the situation. August wouldn't mind being able to skip this task but is also aware not everyone knows the right thing to search for and he will probably still have to do it in the end. Panel 4 Robin has decided to stop questioning things and take this as an opportunity to get some coffee. This moment is a gift. August is unbothered, he would probably do the same thing. Robin: I'm going to get some coffee. You want anything? August: No thanks.

there is a non-zero chance that a child saw this and had nightmares about it for years. They possibly told their family and no one believed them. They might still be haunted by it to this day.

I'm sorry Edward, I can't marry you. We may have great chemistry, both come from affluent families, have enough influence to control the national economy, be into the same weird stuff, and our dogs get along. But your family says "route" instead of "route" and that's icky.

Fantastic event, happy to have picked up Ace of Hearts and looking forward to giving it a read.

OH! Now I understand everything. So first I have to smash that like button.

As someone who is consistently either the oldest or the youngest in whatever room I'm in, I like to think of myself as a baby grandpa.

Soft Drinks - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Hannah and Douglas are having a lively discussion about the appropriate term for sweetened bubbly drinks. Truly one of the most divisive topics of our era. Hopefully this will be a civil discussion. Hannah: It's called soda! Everyone calls it soda! Douglas: It's pop! Panel 2 This debate is going nowhere. Hannah decides that it is time to bring in an impartial opinion so they can settle this matter once and for all. Hannah: Let's get another opinion. Douglas: Fine. Panel 3 Hannah and Douglas have found an innocent Gustopher who is only trying to eat his lunch. He is not prepared for the mess that he's about to be dragged into. Hannah: GUSTOPHER! What are sweetened fizzy drinks called? Panel 4 Gustopher: Soda Pop. Hannah: WHAT!? Douglas: NO! Unfortunately, this is the second worst thing he could have said. The worst thing would have been "coke".

"Why can't a have more than ten characters?"

"The system can't handle a lot of highly detailed characters on screen at once."

"But there's thousands in the audience!"

"That's a PNG."

I'll be doing my best to make it.

Y'know, sometimes I think it would be cool to have an office full of other people to draw in. Then I see this and I decide if it's a point in favor or against an office environment.

Sister Defense Force - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Polly is letting a classmate borrow one of her text books. It's titled "Text Book - Physical Edition".

She heard her older sister talking to a boy and must investigate. Olivia: Was that your boyfriend? Did he leave because you stink? Polly: That was Sig. We're not dating. Panel 3 WHAT! Olivia can't believe this! Why would anyone not want to date her sister? Polly is obviously a catch. Olivia is outraged. Olivia: WHAT! HE STINKS! You can do so much better? Polly: And I'm not into him. Panel 4 Phew, all is right in the world. Olivia was almost ready for a fight. She resumes mocking her sister. Olivia: Good! Because you both stink and the combined smell would be lethal. Polly: Thanks for your loyalty.

That sweater alone has done a lot to elevate my mood.

Just having a beard give you an aura multiplier that will have a big impact on your overall aura count at the end of the day.

The two watch the rain through the window and voice their rainy day lamentation. Gustopher: Man... It's raining. Olivia: Boring. Panel 2 Hannah and Liam have come to watch the rain through the window as well. The four stand silently and watch the outside world grow ever wetter. Panel 3 Douglas and two other classmates have joined the quartet and they are all watching the rain together. Olivia sips from her juice box. Liam is imagining a bard being swept up by the wind and flying through the air. Panel 4 Miss Horsehill is concerned about her classroom's lack of noise and comes over to see what everyone is up to. This silence is a good silence but it's still a good idea to check. Miss Horsehill: What are you all doing? Olivia: Being bored. It's a good bored.
