Sometimes I feel like it’s nice to know that you got there. Even for a minute! I’ll take it. Haha
I think I have hope, too, that I’ll get back there.

I know that mango sticky rice is a popular Thai dessert, but I’m curious about other ways people eat it too!
If anyone else is curious, this appears to be the original, with higher resolution.
I love how vintage it looks! Usually modern vintage art loses something but I don’t know what it is.
Oh hey, this was essentially my experience too, but with the Walking Dead comic! The TV series used plot points from the comic book and I think you can kinda tell where the TV series’ success started affecting the comic and the whole thing turned into an ouroboros of trying to maintain the success of a flashy zombie TV show.
I think maybe it was inevitable. Robert Kirkman’s original idea of a never-ending human drama surrounded by the pressures of zombies doesn’t seem profitable long-term without insane character deaths and (more) deliberate gore porn.
When the original Walking Dead comic books came out around 2003 I was just getting back into comics and I remember reading Robert Kirkman’s ideas about what he wanted it to be.
This is exactly what he said. That the original classic zombie movies that he liked — mostly the Romero Living Dead ones — were stories about the people trying to survive. The zombies are secondary and, sometimes, even kind of ridiculous (see Dawn of the Dead, one of my favorite movies).
I thought the Walking Dead TV show and the comics after a certain point went into more gore porn, so I tuned out.
But you’re 100% right for me. George Romero made zombie movies to look at people. Not the zombies.
Hey, if you make art, that makes you an artist. It may not make you a professional artist, but that’s fine.
This is beautiful, btw, and 100% counts as art.
According to the Associated Press, the company that sold the lectern is Beckett Events, LLC. It’s an event planning company in Virginia founded by a former lobbyist.
I love that! Thanks for posting all the pictures, I didn’t know this set existed and I love the art
I just want to second saying you’d Google it in the interview if it comes up. I got my first job because of this in software engineering a long time ago.
Interviewer: “If you didn’t know how to solve a technical problem, what’s the first thing you’d do?” Me: “Well… to be honest, I’d probably Google it…” Interviewer: “Oh yeah that’s actually exactly what we want!”
It did feel stupid to say at the time but it made sense after.
Bee Movie is 100% what I expected when I clicked that link, so I chuckled.
If someone is releasing, say, a western XCom clone and expecting Baldur’s Gate 3 level success, they might have another thing coming… Since it would have a niche audience.
Like, obviously I’m not talking about games like Baldur’s Gate 3 here, I assumed that was obvious from context but I may not know what Lamplighter’s League is like!
I was assuming it was more like Hard West, or Wargroove, the Fire Emblem series, Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics… there’s a difference between a specific genre and games that are turn-based and require strategy. Hopefully that makes sense.
Also half of the games you listed are pretty old (10+ years). Yeah, it’s a bit niche. But go off weirdo
There’s also the Mario + Rabbids series which is still pretty niche if you’re asking me.
They were advertising it on the Paradox launcher for a while on Cities Skylines and it seemed like kind of a large risk for Paradox but I don’t exactly know why I felt that way.
It seemed like too much advertising for a turn-based tactics game or something. I like turn-based tactics games but it’s certainty a niche genre.
Same, I’m always hopeful for another good racing game but I’ll even wait a while to install it with Game Pass, if I do.
I love little Etsy sellers like this! We have several puzzle boards made by a kind hobbyist grandfather.
Not a trading card game, just trading cards!
You can get a full box of 48 packs for under $100 on eBay. And a complete base set for under $50. They’re less expensive because trading cards are a really niche hobby.
Comic Images, the publishers of the Moebius trading cards in 1993, is still one of the largest publishers of non-sport trading cards!
rClone is so awesome! It does so much that I wanted for so long.
Oh the OP repo is based on rClone, I didn’t realize. Even better!
I too like the blue, especially with the pink text box!
I can find no evidence that this was designed by Sanyo at all. It’s likely a modern rendering of a fake vintage product.
It is!!
Someone might assert that, “All toupees look fake. I’ve never seen a good toupee.” This is an example of neglecting the base rate because if I had seen good toupees, I wouldn’t know it.
Thanks, I love learning names for these things when they come up!
I loved the system in the first Bravely Default! It made battles go by so quickly and was so fun
