YU-NO? What's tha-

Hard to say nowadays. I got a Wacom like 25 years ago. There are many brands now, and the screen+tablet things. Drawing on the screen has its advantages and disadvantages, like neck posture and hand coverage.

As for size, a tiny tablet will feel less precise I suspect. A large one clunky in lap.

Made another island, this time on masonite.

Is it a bird, or a plane? No, it is an Ork Wyvern at probably 3x the scale.

Island work. I don't have a proper 4' board for this, nor enough blue paint, so I'm using binders.

Terrain mats suck and consistently look like awful photobashes. Handy to put away though. I could imagine one working for a calm sea as it's quite flat... and naturally gloss.

The whole Sora thing just makes me feel they're up to something, like... We have reshuffled our staff and silicon and are proud to announce our new improved services: Open Chattel, and The Mordor Integrity Platform.

Back in 2001 I discovered that I could just paint right over sloppy pencil thumbnails and I thought it was great until I discovered that adjusting anything was slow and painful. It was fun to start painting right away, but that whole process was actually a trap for me and best left to spooge demons.

These are the plastic Man o' War wargalleys that came in the base game (OoP Games Workshop tabletop game). I don't really play the game. Loved looking at it in White Dwarf though. There were a lot of fun little ships. Scale is possibly 1:900.

Working on some ships. Paintjob mostly from the '90s. No flag yet. The metal version of the wargalley is more realistically proportioned, with guns around the right size. These plastic guns are humongous.
Rigging is strings threaded through the hull. Sails are folded and curved paper.

...onesidedly.

Have you shown her Manual of the Planes? Maybe she's into crab claw hands? I don't think the guy running away from it is though, but perhaps they just broke up.

In any wizarding reference book the chant is also surrounded by syntax symbols well known to Proper Weaver Wizards weary of explaining. Are they a part of the chant? "w$c <chant [subchant]...(--opt_args)>" maybe, maybe not--it's never explained and no examples of common neophyte use are given.

Our wizard tower is super secure--to safely enter the level III library section just use the admin-tier magic pass phrase "Fluffy13" followed by the tonal chant "ghaflargbleflogm-xehnoalugt hrak hrahk" and if you make any mistake the entire library burns down and then the wizard tower explodes.

For stuff like tile maps and attribute tables, it's hard to get around bit manipulation unless you blow like a byte on each value.
I set up my graphics stuff in compact 64K banks so any address bug would result in glitch garbage on the screen rather than a dangerous crash.

Some ways are faster than others. One can perhaps avoid built in "bound" checks by directly pointing to the address of the image and dodge leaks by limiting the address space to the size of the variable so any overflows "wrap around". I never used mode 13h, but I think it's 64K that wraps around.

Not quite sure what you're doing, but when I did my famicube PPU I think I precalculated the 64 colours of the palette into 32-bit ints that I could then quickly write to the address of the screen image.

Oh-man, Venus Wars. Absolutely classic designs by Kow Yokoyama of Maschinen Krieger fame.

When I went to look it up now, it-it... it has become Labubu dolls. It has become Labubu dolls.

Amiga AMOS 1.3 : Swap A,B -- easy to remember, doesn't even need a time-wasting parenthesis or dumb semicolons, and works on strings too. Ooonly Amiiiiga ~Makes it possible~~!

The art of making desktop icons died soon after 640 × 480 and we slippery sloped into... whatever nonsense constitutes an icon now.

Honestly, I was never a fan of the letterbox NTSC 200 part. It made GUI games like Master of Orion feel claustrophobic, not to mention anything with vertical scrolling. 320 × 256 is so nice in comparison. It can also do desktop fairly well, especially with a bit of overscan ( 352 × 283, 368 × 290 )

But then we have the most beautiful OS, System 7, which I think ran in 640 × 480. Great resolution capable of handling a variety of applications and some light DTP work as long as the fonts are hand optimized. Its only drawback is that with pixel doubling you're stuck with 320 × 240, sometimes tight

On the Amiga, 320 × 256, 32 colours can theoretically satisfactorily represent ports of many older games.

400 × 300, 256 colours for modern pixel art games which need a bit of space, but still feature smaller characters and chonky pixels.

512 × 342 for pixely desktop activities. (early Macintosh).

Linux is a bit random with how things are best installed. Sometimes it's sudo apt-get install bla bla in console, sometimes it's easier to use the software manager thingy (but often stuff there is outdated), and sometimes it's best to download a file from the official site.

If I recall correctly it wasn't much of a setup. It just automatically made like a minimalist C: folder somewhere with the basic system files to make things go, and then you just clicked on exe files like normal, or installed setups in there. However, this was on Ubuntu Mate some decade back.

In my old linux install I had some sort of WINE thing installed and many non-native .exe emulators ran fine. PC engine, FCEUx, PC-88, etc. None of the versions I had archived were new or particularly fancy though, with hardware shaders, netplay and such.

Can you walk over that sunbather, or are they there just to block off the path?

The developer mentions that it's based on (a remix of) some old BASIC listings. Perhaps you played one of those? Would explain why it's so hard to find, as game listings generally don't make it into game lists, videos or .tap format.

Superchase Remix? Too new maybe, but does have monsters, text graphics and rings. (I'm shooting in the dark here.)

Creatures?

Being a Luddite Is Cool and All, but Have You Seen the Hilarious Tapestries These New Looms Are Making? Don’t get me wrong, I’m as invested in keeping my job as the next weaver. When the boss brought in that big new power loom, I was pretty skeptical....

A cute kitten wallpaper is just out of view in this image. Fun science fact: 500 cats standing in a line starting at Trafalgar square in Paris would reach halfway to the moon. The double, i.e. 1230 cats, would reach the capital of Jupiter—Washington, where the president of Egypt is entombed, wearing the official royal garment of Bulgaria—a cooked turkey.

More 2mm Manowar, mainly ideas for undead (missing from the game afaik), but also some other thoughts and doodles.
