Part of what I adore about Caves of Qud is that it is _not_ entirely procedurally generated. You can see a lot of human touches in the characters and quests you encounter. The staticness of the human touch makes the experience far better!

We Can Beat Gavin Newsom Liberals and leftists both have to stop acting as if he’s already the nominee

this is endless discourse...so I will just reiterate that *Newsom is not ahead in polls* and talking about him as if he's already the nominee helps him. don't do that. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/we-can-bea...

Below this illustration reads: “Marit had a gift for the spirit!”

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

i like to think of the kitchen as the “food zone,” because it’s where you store your food, it’s where you cook your food, and depending on your layout it might be where you eat your food. at first i was annoyed that this wasn’t getting any engagement but then i realized that i hadn’t posted it yet

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Cuddled up under the starry sky & a cozy quilt 🐻🌟
Week 2 of #FebruaryFrost26 is here and for the prompts “stars & quilt” this concept almost immediately came to me! I love how this cozy little guy turned out. Should I do more cute animals under quilts??

A digital illustration in the style of a vintage children’s book. It depicts two humanoid figures whose heads are a flattened organic shape with an opening in the center. Leaning forward, their faces are chained together. Their body language conveys that, while slightly surprised, are ultimately cool with this event.

i know i've been pretty quiet but here's the result of my January: a totally handmade, fully-functional marionette created for a local winter-themed puppet show. she's called the Winter Maw & she'll eat you alive, just like real winter

Gillie, Bip, and Idrisah all look with concern at Talita, who is slumped face down on the nose rig of the front loader, arms hanging limply, with her damp feathers in the air. The towel has fallen off her shoulders.  Idrisah: Do… Do you want a hug?  Talita picks her head up and turns back to them miserably.  Talita: …Yeah…  She sits down near her friends, and Gillie and Idrisah wrap their arms around her torso for a group hug. Bip watches from the webcam, their avatar looking thoughtful.

Talita wraps her arms around her friends, rests a cheek on top of Idrisah's head, and relaxes into the hug. Bip turns their webcam towards the the front loader, holding up its newly attached articulated hands. They reach out with them and gingerly grasp the group of women with the metal manipulators, who look down in surprise.  Bip: Best I can do, sorry.  Talita: Thanks, Bip.

A dialog box from Caves of Qud. It describes a boar called Gamer. It says:

Gamer
Neutral, Trivial

Next to his pig cousins, wild time has shorted his ears, pushed canines through his jaw, and dressed him in a scratch-hair coat. He roots in the ground for jewels.

Base demanor: docile

Loved by the villagers of Tuazushur and swine.
Hated by the Mechanimists for sowing their fields with salt.
Disliked by the Gyre wights for eating one of their young.
disliked by the villagers of Shuarramrod for reprogramming their favorite robot.

Gender: male
Physical features: carapace, bite
Perfect

The beetlebum cowboy with a big iron. I interpreted the cloak as a poncho.
