What inspired you to start doing Rimworld doodles? You kinda inspire Me. Wondering if you saw someone else doing this or if you just started it up completely off the dome (as in like,,, Twas an original thought).

The idea of my RimWorld doodles inspiring people keeps me up at night giggling and kicking my feet, so thank you for that <3 <3

As for inspiration... Well, at the risk of sounding like a long-winded recipe blog...

When I was a kid, my family moved houses and schools a lot. I got used to losing friends and knowing I would likely never see any of them again, and it meant that I was especially close to my siblings as a result. No matter how far we moved, how different my new school was, or how many friends I left behind, I knew my brothers and my sister would be there. If I wanted to talk to people, it often meant I had to bother my siblings and so I would usually sit by them when I felt the need to talk out loud and work on things. Sometimes homework, but mostly artwork.

From the age of roughly eleven, I had big dreams of writing comic books. I had plotlines and characters all planned out, but fell into a bit of a worldbuilding hole and never actually wrote any of the story beyond a horrific first draft. Sometimes when I felt talkative, I would bring my sketchbooks out and sit beside my brother while he played RimWorld. The idea was to draw my own comics and design OCs while hanging out with him, but one day, I got particularly invested in his colony. He had a group of cybernetic dwarf colonists, and one of them had decided that the battery room was a good place to keep his pet boomalope, which went... about as well as you would expect. After my brother explained what had happened (this was before I played RimWorld), I thought it was really funny. I put aside my OC drawings and drew this instead:

We put it up on the wall above the computer, and from then on, whenever I sat by to watch my brother play RimWorld, I would draw things that happened in his game instead of focusing on my own comics and OCs.

When I asked my brother to teach me how to play RimWorld, I just sort of... kept up the habit. One day, I thought it would be nice to post some of my drawings online, and I think it was a good decision because lots of people have told me they like it. It's very good! I love drawing, and I love playing RimWorld, but it's so much better when I have other people to share the stories with!

Frustrating when a VC-funded company gets credit for being the "first" and the "leader," when they had a sub-component demo the same week we had a full-system demo. Like, we are easily 5-10 years ahead of them, it's ridiculous; their approach isn't even yet proven to work. But they get science youtubers talking about them.

Because they're VC-funded, they have a marketing/press department.

And because we're an employee-owned company working off of government contracts, well, most government contracts get slapped with an ITAR label (an old Cold-War-era law saying basically sharing scientific information counts as illegally selling arms/munitions). So if you want to publicize your work, including your company's products, you have to appeal that label. (Universities have specifically negotiated a blanket exemption, so if you spend your whole life in academic science you might never even know about this.)

(My previous employer filed those appeals several times a year in order to do press releases and publish journal articles and apply for patents. I think every single information-release appeal they filed went through, because there's no reason any of this stuff should be labeled as arms--it's literally the same stuff universities are doing. My current employer is afraid to, which I think is wrong-headed; at worst they'll just say no, and anyway, our non-restricted competitors are giving fucking lab tours to youtubers.)

I passed that paper.

You know, that paper i freaked out about for the last 3 months?? The one i honestly thought was garbage the days before submitting?? The one i had like a hundred ideas for how to improve it??? I passed it??? With a 1,3??? When 1,0 is the bedt possible???

Yeah sure the teacher could have just given me a good grade because it's a nieche topic and it's 'his' nieche topic and he's glad i put any work into it at all... or maybe i wrote a good paper...

Shen an Cahlar

a messy first sketch of the idea i got for the very first banner of the band of the red hand; i cant for the life of me remember when the banner makes its appearance in the books or even when/why the band actually gets the name, so the headcanon behind this is:

in the thick of the battle against the Shaido, possibly after killing Couladin, Mat realises they need a banner to rally back the soldiers, grabs a piece of cloth and drags his hand that's covered in blood across it and has it raised on a pole: the Red Hand banner.

If you could travel back in time and tell yourself from 3 months ago, a year ago, five years ago, and ten years ago something (without damaging the timeline), what would you say?

Question but it's my lmk oc Yuhe dialouge, cause I like the idea of them and Tai being friends, Yuhe gets suprised by discovering this information:

Yuhe: Tai what do you mean when you have plans to conquer the globe? (World/earth).. I-I mean..*clears throat* I am not asking a offensive question of course, but rather than I am eager to know what sort of motivation, idea, or what will the execution of it-

*sighs* Well to put it simply what made you want to take over a whole entire planet?

(Hopefully it's just earth and not the celestial itself..)

Have a good day/Night! ^^

(Text)

Tai: "Oh, i don't plan or want too take over the world, it's just a hobby of mine. I've made plans about how someone with a specific power could take over the world. I've done it with Hui Ying's powers, Shuimu's, I was planning on doing Your's Yuhe but I don't know you're skill set...."

Long story short: Tai is a secret tactician

Feel free to ask questions!
