Parts of it were, but parts were hand drawn, all of the text was put in manually with the comic neue font, and the whole thing was assembled piece by piece in gimp.

From today, dialing 999 won’t get you the emergency services. And that’s not the only thing that’s changing. Nicer ambulances, faster response times and better-looking drivers mean they’re not just the emergency services — they’re your emergency services. So, remember the new number: 0118 999 881 999 119 725… 3.

- Comment on They Live 2069 2 weeks ago:
It’s a screenshot from the movie They Live.
In it, Roddy Piper has special glasses that allows him to see past these like weird replacement human alien creatures disguises, so in this screenshot he’s wearing the glasses and so you can see a couple of the aliens faces in like blended in amongst the people and originally behind the screenshots or behind the images on the billboards you would see signs that say stuff like “obey” and “reproduce”.
I chose to use the black and white copy even though that wasn’t really perfect because it helped me not have to worry about shading in all of the colors for the images that I pasted in, because I am not a Photoshop expert.

One day, out to a cliff That overlooks the water I jumped in to save a girl It was somebody’s daughter And now the ring that’s on my hand It was given to me by her And to this day we all sit around And dream of ways to get higher

I wonder if you could go back to him when he got his start on that TV show with the Wayans brothers and told him that he would enter playing Dr. Robotnik in the Sonic movie what he would think.

- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 1 month ago:
I don’t know. I mean, there’s a good chance that the original purchase price of the house is almost paid off, but having a sudden $76,000 increase in your bills is going to be tough on anybody. Unless they have made some very bad financial decisions outside of this, that probably is more than double their monthly mortgage.
And as somebody who has an inordinate amount of equity in a house they purchased far too recently for the amount of equity that I have, it is not exactly easy to pull money out of a house as a homeowner, And even if they do take loans to pay the tax burden, that doesn’t mean that the money has been handled. It just has taken today’s problem and pushed it off for tomorrow.
I’m not attempting to justify them. I’m just examining their side with the slightest benefit of the doubt.

I would actually prefer anonymous advice when I’m having issues in a relationship because typically when people gripe about their relationships they only talk about the bad things and they only talk to people that care about them.
This ends up making it so that the people you are talking to hear all the bad stuff about the other person, and that causes them to start to dislike that other person.
It’s too easy to build negative feedback loops that can destroy relationships.
If talking to the internet isn’t good and talking to your friends isn’t good, then the only thing that’s really valid and valuable left would be to talk to a relationship counselor, or a personal therapist, whose only goal is to help you achieve your goals in a way that is healthy for you.

Have you ever had a recurring dream before?
Like, over a period of several months or years or whatever having roughly the same content and the dream pop back up again?

I have friends who have dreams about going to work.
I have friends who have dreams about showing up to a hangout and hanging out with people.
I dream about leading a choir of nuns on a singing rampage through New York and fighting epic space battles where it turns out that the Darth Vader equivalent of my dream is actually my cousin, which I only learn after I kill him, where priceless and irreplaceable books on witchcraft are destroyed to make wrapping paper due to a shopkeeper’s error, where I am told mysteries of the universe and song and hear songs that have never been sung before.
Dreams are like your brain’s way of processing information and defragging your personality.
Everyone’s got different kinds of dreams.

- Comment on Do you think Square Enix should remake other Final Fantasy entries? 2 months ago:
Okay, how about a game where you are a voodoo priest, and you move a doll through a board full of traps and whatnot, and then the person who you have possessed with your voodoo doll then follows the path that you navigated with the voodoo doll.
Spice it up by having extra events happen while the person is moving through the real life version of the board that you then have to use your voodoo powers to compensate for while you now no longer have any more control over the person who you’ve taken over.
I guess that’s more of like a puzzle thing, so sure, for an RPG, How about an Isekai game where you plop down into a magical world and you’ve got all the pop-up screens and everything like you would see an anime and manga, but there is no Demon King, there is no great evil to defeat. It’s just you exploring the world and having fun with your kind of cheat OP powers while meeting people and learning about the history of this world you’ve been plopped into.
You can have actual events happen by like being involved in small-scale battles between kingdoms and uncovering lost relics and dungeons that have never been explored even by the locals and building a party of people to establish your own kingdom in a neglected land.
The latter would give you an opportunity to go like City Builder Sim-style for a bit of the game.
Or if you think that’s stupid, How about a role-playing game where you and a bunch of your other magician, wizard, witch, whatever friends, have built the first fantasy spaceship, and now you’re flying through the celestial realms, visiting all of the other planets in the solar system, and encountering new people, and helping them to solve their problems that have nothing to do with your planet but rather with the goal of establishing diplomatic relationships with other nearby planets.
This shit is easy. Coming up with an idea for a game, a new one that sounds fun and interesting to play that covers a different storyline and gives opportunities for dozens of different authors and creators to put a piece of themselves into it and come up with interesting fun things to do, that shit is fucking easy, and I don’t know why they’re not fucking doing it.
