A ruined, very tall theater hall with Spanish colonial-style balconies, some collapsed into red brick piles on the ground, blue curtains on the walls and moody lighting to boot

Since I'm stuck at home with a cold, I dedicated the day to kitbashing Thespis Hall, a ruined theater, out of 3 or 4 different tilesets that weren't really meant to be used this way but proved unexpectedly cooperative in the process!

Depending on how much I end up digging 2, I might give the original a spin as well to get the full story experience without needing to wait another decade or so

More like One Bangers After Another

I sat in front of the world's largest cinema screen watching that car chase scene on the undulating hillscape with a blissful, stupid grin on my face. This is what cinema is all about.

A tree under which a group of people stands gathered. The scene seems almost black-and-white or like something from a shadow play due to the thickness of the fog enveloping it.

P1: Least autistic New Vegas modder

Person 2 (P2): Impressive my god

Agent Fuse: listen

Person 3 (P3): fuse please

P2: The way I weezed at that it literally is the exact same angle-
Where'd you get the pic?

Agent Fuse: I went there in the GECK

P2: So you found the right tile and got the exact same angle within a MINUTE of you commenting where you thought it was
That is... horrifyingly impressive memory-

P1: You may not be diagnosed but you are peer reviewed

Trying to copy the Outer Worlds' stealth system where you have a limited number of chances to talk your way out if caught breaking in somewhere. Surprisingly easy to implement!

As a matter of fact, I hate grammatical analysis so fucking much that I'll have no choice but to swap out my minor πŸ™ƒ
Linguistics is linguistics and literary studies is literary studies and never the twain *should* meet imho

No worries, there'll still be plenty of oratory excess - but I think those bits need to contrast with the more naturalistic, prosaic conversations to better stand out and give them a heightened quality.

About 10 chapters deep into the novelization of 'Headhunting' and enjoying it so far. It's a nice, brisk read. Here's hoping for more down the line.

True to the Malkavian spirit, I got the dancing werewolf easter egg ending, aka the only real ending. Shoutout to Wesp5 for making the game remotely playable!

I Am An AI Hater I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

All of this. *All* of it. Whenever someone deigns to defend the machine to you, send them this.

"They want to build a genie to grant them wishes, and their wish is that nobody ever has to make art again. They want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude."

Yeah, I enjoy it for its own sake. It's an outlet and a very stimulating activity. I'm also fine with not yet having released anything major for that reason, my motivation to work on my projects is almost entirely intrinsic.
