The Meta Quest 3 is a really interesting device from a company whose primary footprint on the world is essentially a form of elder abuse. I've had to talk with my mom about a lot of the things she sees on there. Certainly, I could just offer her the equal and opposite political force - as a suburban Seattleite I am profoundly well versed in its various catechisms.  But she's only telling me those things to counter what she thinks I think. That torrent is something I had been combating in each discreet instance, so lately I've just been trying to explain how bad arguments are constructed and what the signs to look out for are. It seems like it might be saving me time? I guess we'll see.

Demonic Tutor

Having been reared by the sort of racer where I use other cars as turn-one shock absorbers, largely alongside Gabir, the last few years have taken him into more rarified air. Apparently - apparently - it's gauche to hurtle into a corner like a bat-faced demon, confident that the cushion of another's steel and flesh will orient you toward the exit.

#Fridabe

By Tycho – October 13, 2023

I'll be in there as soon as I can, but Dabe will get started in on Solar Ash and I think we'll probably end up beating it today.  From there, we'll try a few NextFest demos off Steam or see if one of the recent Witchfire patches cleaned up our framerate in streaming.  Either way, gonna be good.

Worst Class

I think it's entirely possible to have a conversation about the efficacy of a mask outside, or in your own car. Happy to discuss it. But if you are very sick, if fluids are just… erupting out of you, in an endless torrent, and you're on an enclosed cylinder this isn't a COVID paranoia thing. We aren't even talking about COVID. I don't know what the fuck you brought in here. This is a you being an asshole thing.

Gen VFX

I’ve been watching Gen V and I think it’s a great show but my God the people actually delivering on some of these visuals need to be getting hazard pay.

The Ballad Of Graham Turisma

We did a strip about the Gran Turismo movie. Oh! And I just figured it out! Australia is ahead of time as I live it in Seattle! It's in the future. Which means that Australians don't have the same schedule at all - for them, Penny Arcade updates on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday! Ha! A ha ha ha!!!! I think I made this realization at some point in the past, but I either forgot - the least likely scenario - or a previous version of myself was destroyed for even knowing it. Which means, among other things, that we rest, now, at a very dangerous precipice.

Treasured Moments To Share

Okay! Sleep didn't work out so well. Brain workin' hard, thinking about PAX Aus. Ryan sent me a few pictures of the food he ate, and they were quite welcome, because Melbourne must be one of the best cities to eat things in the entire world. To prove this, I went to an online site - a "web page" - listing twelve or so of the best restaurants in town, and even after going to said town once a year every year for ten years, I'd never heard of any of them. But I could make my own list of twelve that I'd put up against anywhere I've ever gone. Roster's deep out there.

Rainy Day Recess

Presumably as the result of a powerful spell, the sky overhead Seattle has been set to Deluge for a week or so. I was in the studio yesterday and it was literally a roar inside the building. You walk to your car, a couple hundred feet, and it's like you stepped out of a swimming pool.

Twin Snakes

It sounds like he had a rough time of it, but now he's home playing Phantom Liberty and I think he's vomited the last of the leathery serpent eggs, he says "come up easy." My play would have been to avoid the entire causal chain. I guess if you do have to throw up a snake egg, its young charge squirming with new life, it's nice to hear the process is user friendly.

Christmas In Septmeber!

By Gabe – September 26, 2023

I celebrated another birthday yesterday that secured my 46th year on this earth. I spent the day playing games! Here’s a quick breakdown of what I’m currently putting my gaming hours into:

 

 

Le Petit Mortgage

Over the course of the writing process, which wasn't particularly long to begin with, he got about six different calls to see if he was interested in a mortgage. He was not! But when I saw what he was doing to make this scenario tolerable, this Plethora Of Suitors, it sorta seemed like that was probably the strip.
