I don't think we appreciate enough how easy it is to use a mouse while holding a pencil in the same hand. Not only is it useful, but it's also such a goddamn aesthetic

Something I'd love to see studied but definitely hasn't been is how humans arrange themselves while waiting in groups in spaces. Empty rooms, tables but no chairs, tables and chairs, random objects, etc. I have a ton of meetings at work and watching the way people filter into rooms is fascinating

The thing is, it's not really the map that Jerry has designed here. Not quite.
Instead, his art has been directed by a magnificent deck of cards of his own creation, filled with different rules that he's constantly tweaking and updating.

The chipmunks, too, are visited by angels: spirits which share their morphology, except that they have millions of cheeks, stuffed with millions of seeds. Cheeks like undulations of divine fire, tiling reality

Yet another new project lol. This time it's a monster tamer that takes place inside a giant evil tower that's locked in time stasis. Here's some of the NPCs, the Architect and Codicier.

Lexically, parentheses and quotation marks are super interesting. Very few written symbols depend on another symbol later in the script to provide meaning. I think more conlangs should use contextually defined symbols like that, even just for standard sound glyphs

My experience with Highguard: I wanted to try it out before it shut down. So, I downloaded it, booted it up... and then spent twenty minutes troubleshooting so many errors that I gave up. Man, I *like* hero shooters and wanted to give it a fair shake, but it literally didn't even let me. RIP.
