Thank you 😁
"Best looking #StarTrek game on the market." 🥹 youtu.be/1vSVZNXIj0U?...
I'm not a mad scientist, I'm just a disappointed scientist.
Celebrate Marinler Day with They Were Bunkmates, a #StarTrekLowerDecks fanzine! This September 9th, enjoy a collection of stories, comics, and illustrations exploring and celebrating Mariner and Boimler. ❤️💜
I hope this email finds you, despite your best efforts at camouflage. Your parries may have seemed to overwhelm my email. However, you'll find that my email was testing your defenses. My email never sleeps, never eats, never stops. I hope my email finds you at peace, but it will find you regardless.
"Do your best, Anomalocaris!" t-shirt is live on my shop. danielsolis.threadless.com
It shocked me too, but then I came around like, "Okay, you're right, but that doesn't make it sound better."
Niiice!
ICYMI
Dragon con remains undefeated.
Wish it was illegal for brains to say “no one likes you or likes being around you” after a weekend of pure joy and fun with peers from all over.
Science fictioun ys more alyve than it hath evir been.
Finally got to the artist’s alley. Even though I’m out of the art dealing, I like to watch the innovations. IN: Prints with foil accents OUT: Metal prints don’t sell at this show, apparently COOL: Laminated catalogs or “menus,” showing what prints are available in what sizes at what price
The moon girl and friends
Do your best, Anomalocaris!
Travel advice, please! Where is a good place to visit in #Tokyo for a #space enthusiast? (Hopefully somewhere I could purchase a JAXA hat.)
Excited about the start of professional sports season. youtube.com/shorts/70CXF...
Sounds like canon to me!
It's only an "em-dash" if it's the width of an M glyph or wider — otherwise, it's a sparkling hyphen. #typography
New emoji, including "face with bags under its eyes," plus the bug that gives us crimson color: https://waywordradio.org/good-egg-bad-apple/ And tons more in this latest new episode!
Yeah I have read all but the last two books. It had been long enough that I kinda forgot most of the key plot points, then gradually was reminded.
You can’t see Klingon starships these days because of cloak
Thursday Murder Club on Netflix: Very rapidly paced, but pleasant fun with likeable characters. Some surprising casting choices didn't hamper my enjoyment a bit. Honestly I was most surprised by how luxurious the retirement home was.
Watching a movie on Kanopy for free because I have a library card which is also free. Folks, if this ain’t livin
Haha 😂 Glad you dug it!
Do your best, Anomalocaris!
Well done! I like to make the purple group an 'if you know you know' category.
In that case, I'm so glad you got it checked out. Sending good vibes.
When you only need two scenes but you get carried away and decide to sculpt the entire Cerritos mess hall from the scratch, including props like tables, seating units, bar stools and windows 😥 Worth it tho! #StarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks #backgroundart
Sultry Watto!
Due to my strong personal convictions, I am not going to draw sexy Watto. It is against my belief system. The one that specifically forbids drawing sexy Watto. HOWEVER! I will draw normal(?) unsexy Watto from memory and saying my very favorite quote of his from Episode One. Enjoy.
This is for the best. Concussions can be very sneaky. ❤️
I wonder if the prop soup might be a puree of ube, a deep purple sweet potato.
I bumped it up my schedule because I was so delighted by the theme. :D
Beading supplies have a lot of overlap here. Little desktop drawers of cubes, meeples, tokens, etc
Enough of that unscheduled silliness, now it's time for your regular weekly silliness! Here's your #Connections #puzzle for making it to Saturday. This was a very fun one to build. Hope you dig it! connectionsplus.io/game/wtbrKs
I mean, it is pretty effin sweet though.
This psychedelic piece was made for the game Necronautilus by Adam Vass - it was a wildly fun project and a fantastic excuse to go Full Throttle Rainbow Sci-fi!
Get a load of it!
😢 I finally found a reputable source for a Canadian Space Agency cap in a style I like, but they had to refund my order. I figured it was a long shot, so I don't blame them for the situation. Does anyone know a domestic US source?
No, this is like the Honmoon. Our Honmoon is sexy Watto. We must all believe in sexy Watto to defeat the demon king.
I went to bed seeing all the Sexy Watto drawings and now I'm seeing these rumors of The Thing?
forgive me
Just hanging out at the corner? 🫨
It's giving "Fifteen Million Merits" kinda vibe.
Oops! I think you pinged the wrong Daniel. 😁
Yes the fiction, and they were generous. And I had a typo on the last one, it should be Vorin.
We won #trivia night! It was a perfect mix for our team and everyone contributed. Here was a highlight: Please provide the name of the source material for each fictional writing system shown below: Tengwar, Wakandan, Covenant, Hylian, Varin
I am lightly horrified by how many people have now looked up their books and found out their publishers (who often were required contractually!!!!) just... didn't register the copyrights on books. Not all of them! Just sporadically! This is not just one publisher, I've seen all the big ones now.
Can any of our Italian-speaking friends help solve this rebus a reader sent in to us? (Acquired 25 years ago in a market in Rome.)
Also - hello everyone! I'm Julia, a fantasy freelance artist from Germany :)
Peter Jurasik must be standing on like five apple crates back there.
Aw yay! That's nice to know today's skaters are cool like that.
Oh boy I'm expecting good Jonfield Garfbuckle vibes.
Debuts are alive and very good on the SPX website! Go in and choose some new comics as future favorites.
Y'all gonna love Saturday's Connections puzzle. 😁
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
Oh boy, gotta hear those highlights. :D
I feel like I missed some of the herd in Herdling... Does it change the ending if you have them all??
To that, I did not reply. Anyway, I can't help thinking that going through life burdened with Complete Knowledge of Correctness, with an added Duty to Enforce Correctness must be kind of stressful and not conducive to joy.
Opening a hotel called “Sleep Hole”
Herdling is good! ❤️ 🐮
I have now added the full decklists to the description of this (terrific) episode of EDSC. youtu.be/TDGlmSR8ttQ
Congrats to my pal Richard Dansky on the release of his brand-new book, THE VIDEO GAME WRITER'S GUIDE TO SURVIVING AN INDUSTRY THAT HATES YOU. I'm reading it right now, and this is the exact book I wish I'd had when I was starting out writing for video games.
Local baker texting me provocative photos.
25 countries now have ceased shipments of packages to the USA because of its removal of de minimus exceptions and application of tariffs.
An older project that I am still proud of - I painted a deck of playing cards for Project Dark, featuring thieves and magicians and more, and this serious sorcerer is one of my favourites of the bunch.
Ooh are they all standalone?
I miss Nanaimo 😢
Damn that was a lot of prosthetic for such a short appearance.
Linkedin removed this post lol
We’re doing another idiom-themed episode of Words Unravelled, and I would love suggestions for terms to research.
The stories of ancient Greece are filled with creatures, from majestic Pegasus to horrific Hydra. What is your favorite monster from Greek lore? Pre-Order Fantasy Realms: Greek Legends and find out if your favorite creature has joined the game! wizkids.io/fantasyrealmsgreeklegends
ICYMI last week:
I keep messing up GRWM and GRRM. Now I'm wearing a fantasy author on my back and my shirt is writing a 600-page novel.
A few games from yesterday: Harmonies, Pina Coladice, Linko, Art Society. Not shown: Just One, Mario Kart, Smash Bros. Megan played Stardew Valley and Vantage.
Oh that's a lovely tribute. ❤️
Is Netflix actually reporting their own numbers? Last I heard, they weren't reporting because they didn't want to promote anything in theaters, even if it's #1.
Now I kinda imagine Peter Weller as the Vulture.
Ah! I'll see if the local Friends of the Library org has a similar setup. Thanks!
wait, while we're on the subject of libraries, can I present to you my favorite shirt. Instagram keeps offering for-profit brands that have completely bitten this design, but this is the one that actually raises money for a D.C. public library mtpfriends.bigcartel.com/product/what...
I'm actually trying to find a way to make my design donate to my local library system officially. Any idea how your shirt's design got linked up with your library?
Happy Saturday! It's time for this week's #connections #puzzle! It's got slight meta theme, but should be on the easier side. connectionsplus.io/game/BM7UNN
That shirt is so cute!
Yanari has a small update on BoardGameGeek's news roundup: boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/blogp...
Just seeing if anyone can recognize this reference. This will probably be a one-off shirt design just for me when I get around to printing it. See alt text for details of the reference.
We are halfway though today’s #HideAndPeake and I will confirm that I am in London. You’ve managed to work out I’m not within one mile of the Thames and that I am indoors. With these clues and some more questions, can you put it all together and work out my location?
It’s 1:05pm in the UK and I have hidden somewhere! You have to work out where by asking me yes/no questions. I might provide the odd cryptic hint along the way. You have ONE HOUR to find me. Go! Note: only one TfL zone based question per 10 mins. #HideAndPeake
i'm sorry
Paris type rooftop fantasia
Ooofta
Maybe I'm an easy Trek mark. We got Erica backstory, a new cosmozoan, old-timey psionics, and a folksy metaphor to solve the problem of the week. I'm good. #StarTrek #WhatIsStarfleet
Let Jonathan Franzen finisshe the Wyndes of Wynter
I'd love to sell it! I just feel a little weird selling someone else's likeness. I usually just stick to text and graphics.
