WAIT

I JUST REMEMBERED HEARING AN ELON MUSK QUOTE WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE BELIEVES CHESS IS "TOO SIMPLE" OR WHATEVER AND HE SAID HIS FAVORITE GAME WAS A GAME CALLED "POLYTOPIA"

I JUST REMEMBERED THAT IVE PLAYED POLYTOPIA

It being Elon's favorite game (or at least one so important to him that his biographer dedicates a lot of time to it) is.....really really funny.

Basically, imagine Civilization, but as a mobile game. So like if Civilization Revolution was even more dumbed down (that's a Civilization insult. That's devastating. It's devastated right now). For what it's worth, it's not a bad game. On the contrary, from what I could tell in the little bit of time I played it, it's a perfectly competent game with good design. But it's not a deep game by any means. I played through it once, won easily on my first go, then saw that the other playable characters had barely any differences between them.

Like, not to imply you can judge a book by its cover, but here's what it looks like

I came across an article by Dave Karpf discussing this exact thing, and I think it describes it wonderfully

#i didnt link the article itself because its substack and i dont fuck with substack #but i did want to at least provide credit to the author because it was very well written #anyway i think about elon describing chess with the phrase 'no fog of war...no technology tree'#honestly it just reads like someone who really likes Polytopia and wishes every game were polytopia #it would be like me complaining chess doesnt have passive relics randomized paths and deckbuilding #slay the spire addresses these limitations

...weird amount of dunmeshi fans have been saying being a caretaker in a relationship is the worst thing ever..marcille must want to killl everyone soo bad because doing things for people suuuucks sooo muchh

it's an act of love, not just a job i promise. we all want someone who's willing to take care of us in some way, just like how senshi shows care for others by cooking for them :'|

#marcille donato #dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #laios touden #falin touden #chilchuck tims #izutsumi #delicious in dungeon #this is also about kabru and mithrun stop focusing so hard on how it was ‘forced upon’ kabru as if it’s the most evil thing in the world #they took care of EACH OTHER during that time and mithrun wasn’t doing nothing #people are so weird about him and reduce mithrun down to his disability as if he isn’t CAPTAIN for a reason #it’s sooo insane #try thinking about how their time together serves the themes of the story rather than a biased interpretation #of all the things that happen in this manga people focus on the weirdest things to apply to real life #people try to construe is as something evil with evil intent as if it’s not there to benefit the THEMES of the story #woah a huge...heron? just landed on a tree i've been staring at it for like 10 minutes its pretty #dungeon meshi spoilers

Yearning from the nothing dimension [rambling in tags ^^]

#i really couldn't make a version with a bunch of eyes that i was happy with on the bottom part #and then i realized thats fine and not everthing is going to look cool and awsome all the time. kinda emphasizes the space though.#anywho do you ever think about how lonely it must be in the tree or dark side of the moon. like all you can do is watch and wait #imagine falling in love with someone you can only see glimpses of #someone who you just found your mind wandering closer and closer to untill you realize just how happy they make you and how they make #the vast emptiness of a prison feel because your so far from someone whom doesn't even know you exist #Anyway!! had some thoughts about sm I'll probably draw more laterrrrr bc I just cant draw today ^“^#cookie run kingdom x reader #shadow milk x reader #shadow milk cookie x reader #i hope my rambling made sence to someone. im not very good at articulating myself

I NEED Loop to be further tormented by finding out confessing to their party doesn't break their loops, and Siffrin wishes to see Loop again so hard he pops out of the favor tree so he gets to be Loop's guide

#isat #isat spoilers #siffrin #loop #I imagine Loop's lack of physical power is the first red herring they get #so Siffrin finds a way to break away from the favor tree and they try the tag-in tag-out AU where Sif handles the fighting #but just exploding the king isn't it either!#and Siffrin got a bit more Character Development so he's the one to be like okay no we HAVE to try talking to the party #which leads to way too many loops where they're just like 'yes yes there's two of us. calm down this is timeloop 101. keep up'#Isa: YOU CAN'T JUST EXPECT US TO ACCEPT THAT?#Loop: oh yeah cause this is SUCH an imposition for you. two of me. like this isn't straight out of your wet dreams #the party: ?!?!???!?!?!#Siffrin: LOOP #Loop: ugh I know I know. banana time #u can tag as ship idc I do think they get frustrated a bunch of loops and make out about it so like #not too many times tho bc I CANNOT bear making this adventure the same level of suffering. cannot stress enough how this would be like #80% silly 20% angst #zilly art #in stars and time

In the middle of exams so here are just some higher quality versions of my last sketches!

(There will be no context for Menelaus dressed as a seal and Helen doing drugs. If you know, you know.)

#the odyssey 1997 #the odyssey #Telemachus #Penelope #Odysseus #Nausicaa #Menelaus #Helen #Peisistratus #he's here too but I think I forgot to tag him last time...#Athena #yes her spear has an olive tree branch handle and her armor is fashioned to look like feathers #(side note I have silver and bronze armor designs for her too but I love how the gold looks here)#(look forward to a more detailed artwork of her (in a certain Odyssey scene) in the future!)#anyway I recently got my hands on a physical copy of emily wilson's translation of the odyssey!#it was the last copy at my local book store and my library doesn't have a copy #it was a miracle that I managed to get the iliad since apparently a professor at my uni keeps forgetting to return the copy #(on the flip side its fun to see what he annotated and I'm thinking I might take his course once it's empty enough)#anyway I'll have to wait on (re)reading the odyssey #because 1) i gotta focus on exams #2) I want to finish the iliad before the return date (im on book 17 and everyone is such a vibe)#3) I have so many wips I want to finish too

happy solvermas

#cause t. no actually if christ is the son of god and the solver is god then it'd be like uzimas #quick sketch i pulled out of my ass yesterday to see if i could get myself out of art block/burnout/whatever ive got going on #v was added after cause i had no idea how to work her into the scene #implied nuziv or something look man im just desperate about this ship #and i dont know how to draw fluff or whatever #im so bad at romance i dont know how to express it #but i've been desperately trying to draw nuziv for the past months #i think this is actually like some of my best linework yet im really satisfied with everything right now #been a long time since i've felt that #turns out the “stop overthinking every pixel of the expressions and just draw the approximation the audience will get the jist” approach wo #ks #something something n is the star of their life. tree light chrismtas #it is taking. All of my restraint right now #to not be So Mean to all of you #You Don't Even Know #I Could Do Something. I Might Still.#art #murder drones #murder drones uzi #uzi doorman #murder drones n #serial designation n #murder drones v #serial designation v #murder drones cyn #i need liam to explain whether cyn and the solver are the same person already so i can tag them appropriately its driving me nuts #oh yeah cyn got a plush core to chew on by the way #the idea of giving her a chew toy was rolling around in my head and i think its a very funny visual so here we are

nomad boyfriend comes back for a visit

obviously there are some extras for the patr0ns <3

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #halsin silverbough #durge #halsin x durge #the bhaalspawn has found an extremely healthy relationship dynamic #ashe's cats are so indifferent they're probably like 'oh tall tree dad is back'#i love domestics but also i think halsin is the kind of person who needs to vanish into the woods for 2-3 weeks #ashe hates dirt so he has his house with his cats #this makes me want to write an awful 70s farce where ashe thinks the guy's there for sex and he's just there to fix the boiler #i was working on a long angst comic but i pushed it back for. reasons #only wholesome stuff right now
