Well, consider that Australia basically has just one internet pipeline through southeast Asia, and then all around is ocean. A couple Warcraft guildies playing from Australia blamed that for their spiky connections.
Someone I follow on twitter has been complaining about their super slow internet for a few weeks and I was like ‘yeah girl, I know the feeling, our internet sucks too’
But she just posted a picture of her ‘crappy’ internet speed and it’s literally more than 30 times faster than our speed on a good day.  And her now ‘fixed’ speed is more than 400 times faster.  I didn’t even know internet could go that fast??  Australian internet is apparently just that terrible.

I guess this is it, then. I hope to come back, but I’m not sure we will.
Until then, I’ll see you in Samura.

As a poet once said: White man, please advise.
Honestly, every time I post an arched benching video every beetle legged, keg chested motherfucker crawls out of the depths of hell to tell me I'm going to hurt myself/girls shouldn't bench/arching is cheating. My BF posts a video arching to kingdom come and he gets jack shit
yuuuup just because you are a girl they feel like they can call you out on something they know nothing about!! love that!! 🙃🙃

Time to pack up already?
It seems as if I only just arrived on Tumblr, but I guess it’s time to find another network.
It’s a shame, really. It seemed like a really nice, safe place, made by and for the people who needed it most. But I guess we’ll just need to make it again someplace else, then rebuild it when that goes down too.
Call me crazy, but the tales of the Silver Prince come to mind:
“I came to find the land of Samura, where peace is eternal,” said Kassardis, “But instead, I find that I must carry Samura with me.” And he grasped the hilt of his sword and stood, and Vastoki finally realized how tall he was.
“None of the three of you will ever agree to share me, and none of the three of you can best the other,” said Kassardis, “You are already too poisoned by violence. I will run from you, and you will find me, again and again, and again and again you will destroy yourselves in trying to claim me. And again and again, I will tend to your wounds, and flee, knowing that I will never truly escape.”
“Again and again you will destroy yourselves until you are mere hunks of flesh, crippled wrecks of meat. And there will come a day when you have become so ruined that even I will be able to best you in combat, and you will submit to my peace.”

That fine pencil work... they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
So is Moebius/Jean Giraud totally a huge influence on you? I see a lot of times when you use an isometric projection instead of drawing a scene in realistic perspective, which is a technique he used, and plus a lot of the busy crowd scenes remind me of the way Moebius liked to draw crowds. Anyways, huge ups if you were drawing on his work.
Yeah 100%. I have a huge hardcover edition of Gardens of Edena on my shelf about 5ft from my head right now and it is perfect

It’s nice to have alternatives, too.
Stella Deus: an... okay tactical RPG. The box art had a pretty generic group shot, but the inverse had a much more artistic illustration of Lumena in prayer. I flipped it around and never looked back.
And I just couldn’t tolerate my copies of Guns of the Patriots and The Phantom Pain, so I went and made some new ones myself. Goodbye scowling old men, hello bold Shinkawa drawings.
Why does this matter at all. Y’all act like this is an actual big deal.
I would happily provide @magnumpicactus with a more “government issue” black text on white background if it’s really not that big of a deal.
ATTENTION PEOPLE WHO OWN ANY PHYSICAL COPIES OF ANY RECENT VIDEO GAMES
Ever look at the cover art of your case and think “wow this looks super generic and uninspired”?
I’ll use Doom as an examlpe:
Tumblr media
FANTASTIC game. SHITTY cover art. Looks like a cod clone.
A lot of games suffer from this,
HOWEVER
recently I’ve noticed that many games have a little secret inside the box…
Tumblr media
You see, on the inside, when you open the case, some of these titles will have an alternate box art!
Tumblr media
Simply open the case, *carefully* pull out the paper…
Tumblr media
And on the other side…
Tumblr media
:O
Tumblr media
Now doesn’t that look like a much better representation of what playing DOOM is like!?!? The best part is theres no mountain of text on the back, the art just keeps going!
Best DOOM cover ever.
Tumblr media
Other examples include Final Fantasy XV, The Last of Us, The Evil Within, Fallout 4, etc.
Not all of my games had this, but the ones that did had such cool art. I love the lack of “advertising text” on the back. Some of the alternate box art just paints a scene from the game so well you dont even need the title to know what it is.
Reblog to save a life! You might have some badass alternate box art in your games and you just never knew it :D

So long as you fight the good fight and can handle a doomsday cultist or ten, I’ll gladly lock arms and shields with you.

I saw some TERFs (aka transphobes) reblogging some of my Éowyn art and just wanted to make it clear that I, my art, and my blog are 100% supportive of trans people.

That’s...! She’s too adorable.
Tumblr media
Half elf Oath of Redemption Paladin with two levels in monk. Was inspired by that one outfit you rebloged the other day and had to draw her wearing it.
I love her! What’s her name?

Now we know!
And knowing is half the battle!
Some dude bro on the internet talking about the new She-Ra reboot: Ugh SJWs are taking over cartoons and making them all preachy. I hate it when shows try to push an agenda on kids. Why can’t they be like they used to be, you know?
Original He-Man, looking straight at the audience: We had a lot of fun here today, but you know what isn’t fun? Judging others based on how they look. Not liking a person because he or she is a different race or religion is wrong. Also, plant a tree, and don’t do drugs.
