Witches, Barbie, and Quakers!

If you are looking for a short form podcast that I packed with unexpected and thoughtful conversation, I humbly recommend Quakers Today, a show I host and produce. The guests stimulate and enlighten. Here are two recent episodes. Actress and eco-activist Daryl Hannah speaks with host Peterson Toscano about her announcement that “Mattel intends to go 100 percent plastic-free by 2030 in all their…

The MCU and television shows

something about Interior Chinatown that scratches the itch to me is how perfectly meta the casting is. Willis first gets the precinct’s spotlight as Tech guy; Jimmy O. Yang was Tech guy for six seasons on Silicon Valley. Fatty goes viral because his frustration is ‘funny’ to white people, meanwhile Ronny Chieng does stand-up. Lana is treated as the precinct’s connection to Chinatown in Black & White and secures her spot when she busts out her fighting know-how, and she’s portrayed by Chloe Bennet who was team muscle and a token (fictional) minority member for seven seasons on Agents of SHIELD. They got the perfect people to deliver these characters on-screen because they’ve been there. Casting directors, i love you.

the scene where daisy and jemma are trying to figure out if the other is a lmd and then daisy pulls jemma into a hug so she can feel her bones and then they both cry bc they’re the only ones left from the team but also they’re relieved bc at least they’re together and haven’t been replaced?

Sibling Shuffle: The LaLinde Family!

Here’s the LaLinde family! I looked at the concept art a lot with these guys lol

(I have no one to look over all my stuff IRL & I accept constructive criticism) (my ref. for Tempo’s armor had some weird shadows & I don’t think it looks right but at this point it’s fine)

This honestly took less time than I expected. Really surprised at how well I managed to copy Dr. LaLinde’s pose from her first appearance… anyway

Since there wasn’t much we were shown of Vesper Woman, I had to fill in a couple of gaps (and by that I mean a lot of them). We know she is supposed to annoy Tempo into experiencing emotions, and we know her job… but not much else. She didn’t even have a civilian name / design, and I don’t know if she was supposed to get one later on… so yeah this is what I’ve got for her! I’m really happy with her hair. I think it looks fun :)

As with Piano before her, Dr. LaLinde’s purple hair stood out too much from the rest of the cast. I felt a little guilty because it’s a pretty unique character feature & I already made Piano’s hair change, so she gets to keep a streak of purple.

Tempo gets a dress the same length as her original pencil skirt, but it more closely resembles the concept art for her civilian design. I don’t really have a reason other than I like her concept art outfit & because I can

WARNING: this is a VERY long post. I ramble a LOT.

Lore under the cut!

Around the time that Blues attempted to run away, Dr. LaLinde began work on her own robot child, Tempo. Tempo was created as a “child” more than a “tool” (much like the Light kids). Tempo was, like many kids, cheerful and full of energy.

Assuming the ARTS Convention is a yearly event, I’m going to say Tempo met Blues at one of those. Blues isn’t very comfortable in a crowded area, so he was already a bit thrown off when Tempo ran up to him all excited to meet another robot like her. It took a little bit for him to adjust to her enthusiasm, but they were pretty fast friends :)

Unfortunately, then Tempo was caught in a cave-in later that year, which basically destroyed her. Dr. LaLinde rebuilt her, but when it came time to restore her IC chip, she hesitated. She had lost her daughter once; was she willing to risk going through that again? And she had built Tempo with human-level emotions, who’s to say she wouldn’t end up traumatized? So, she set the IC Chip in a drawer in her desk, where Tempo’s personality and emotions sat until after the next ARTS Convention.

There are a few minor changes to how their reconciliation storyline goes from there. Tempo doesn’t forgive Dr. LaLinde immediately - she’s a little hurt that her mother let her stay dead for longer than was necessary. But she’s a very forgiving person, and makes an effort to trust and forgive Dr. LaLinde again, especially once they actually have an actual conversation about it.

Vesper Woman - who I’m giving the Civilian Name of "Rhythm" (because why would one sibling just. not have a personal name?) - was still created around MM4, (partially) to help Tempo restore her personality & emotions fully. I didn’t really change anything about her, more expanded on what there was already, which was not a lot but. she was literally introduced in the second-to-last issue so what can ya do.

She met Rock while he was trying to come to terms with the fact that he had been working for the bad guy. She tried to get him to cheer up a little, then brought him back to Geoworks HQ when he mentioned needing some help. And the other LaLinde’s recognized him (because they had been alive for longer than a week lol)

GRIM: A Retro FPS-Styled TTRPG, inspired by Quake, has released on itch.io and DriveThruRPG!

ITCH.IO

DRIVETHRURPG

In a time far beyond Earth’s exodus, explorers have unearthed relics and ancient architecture that are said to be older than the cosmos itself, shattering all theories of the creation of the universe and its age. You and your allies, assigned by the Martyrs of Free Olympia or the Elysian Coalition, are tasked to investigate ruins on the planet Gamma Rho Iota Mu, simply referred to as GRIM, to find any traces of life that are rumored to lay beneath the only structure on the planet: a towering obelisk.

Countless explorers sent to GRIM have delved into these ruins, but none have returned. Many denizens of Free Olympia and beyond have feared that their planet will be next to succumb to GRIM's grasp, and some have fallen to their knees to worship this fated harbinger of doom.  All seemed hopeless and lost...

Inspired by prolific FPS games like the Quake series, GRIM's mechanics are quick, brutal, and easy to understand without sacrificing its immense depth.Using either the flip of a coin or a six-sided die (d6), use Combat Skills to speed around combat maps and frag enemies, or use Roleplaying Skills either in or out of combat to navigate the dark and oppressive world beyond the Whispering Gate.

This game is meant to be played with a Watcher (GM / DM), and 1-6 other players.

If this game reaches certain goals within 30 days, more content will be added to both the handbook and beyond!

$300: This game is fully funded! Thank you so much!

$600: 5 new Pre-Made Battlemaps for combat encounters will be added to the handbook!

$800: GRIM, The Palace of Eyes,  a setting expansion for GRIM, will be released! Explore a realm tucked between dimensions, and fight eldritch horrors while navigating expansive castles and dungeons. Will include more unique enemies, weapons, powerups, and settings!

$1,500: A printed run of GRIM will be made and released!

$3,000: Beyond the main theme already released, an entire soundtrack for GRIM will be created! Enjoy intense combat music and horrifying ambient tracks that will immerse you even further into the world of GRIM!

$3,000+: ??? (more goals will be released! I'll immediately jump for joy, however.)

Goddamn earth quake about more than two hours ago, I was like wow is this the end, I kinda live in a tall building so I just ran down stairs pj's be damned

Good to know that when it comes down to it I ain't freezing.

At first i thought I was gonna faint but then the thing starts shaking like m on a boat and ya hear the residents screaming and m like nope nope nope shaking be damned I'm getting outta there I dun want twenty floors of concrete collapsing on me.

But yeh so far the only buildings that went down were those under construction but they haven't let people back in yet for mine.

Most of us are kinda in pjs.....mostly flip flops or well slippers

Some no socks just bare feet TT.

And like it's business as usual again XD. For a country that doesn't usually experience any natural disasters other than the season forest fire and a flood here and there the infrastructure seems pretty solid.

No uh casualties so far ...well not yet anyways I pray there aren't any but the vids of the construction collapse was kinda scary tbh
