  • What a gorm thing to say.

  • Best moment of Disco Elysium for me.

  • I just sighed so hard I put my back out.

    Just because you don't know something doesn't mean it is untrue.

    See also, "this is new to me therefore I have discovered it"

    This is like reverse appropriation and is just as bad.

  • Fleetwood Mac and cheese.

    Yeah, OK. I'm in.

  • The big brain move was to ask them first, thereby proving you wanted to use their IP.

    If he had just faked it anyway without asking he might have got away with it.

    Genius strategist.

  • I do find it interesting that folk think Renaissance art is realistic.

    I'm being a little glib, but the truth is that we are still looking at hyper-idealised bodies.

    The main difference,I suspect, is the use of perspective rather than drawing on a flat plane. In a way it took a leap of imagination to make things look more "realistic" whilst sculpture was merely (again, said with a certain smirk) just mimicking what the artist could see and feel in the real world.

    That is to say that sculpture is reproduction whilst drawing is representation, and with representation you need to be able to take some pretty big leaps for both the artist and the viewer to work these things out.

  • Mate, the thing about gen x is that they dont care. This is boomer energy being projected.

    Which is cool, I guess, whatever.

  • This is so on form for UCLAN.

  • Pretty sure we had Halloween before the US even existed.

    Admittedly we had to carve turnips.

    Some still do.

  • It replaces workers with robots so it would probably save money too.

    And now the workers cannot afford bread.

    Next move?

  • I'm interested to hear what everyone uses as an alternative.

  • Someone once pointed out to me that what I consider small talk might be someone else's important.

    Sure it might seem like gossip or chat about the weather just for the sake of talking but it can equally be someone trying to say that they are lonely and need reassurance.

    I think about that a lot and I've become a lot more tolerant. Besides, you can segue into some pretty big chat from such humble starts.

  • Looks legit, what's the point here?

  • The second it becomes the standard is the second google looks for ways of nerfing it.

  • Influencers are just fleshy billboards for whoever wants them to shill.

    It isn't a job, it is a resource.

    And honestly, I think we are all getting tired of seeing their burning faces and hearing their vapid takes.

  • Dead drops and one time pads.

    Set up a numbers station if you can afford it.

  • You've managed to get the affinity stuff working under wine? I can't get publisher to work correctly. I just wish they would make a native version. I'm happy to give them money for it even.
