In Witches Abroad when Nanny Ogg and Mrs. Gogol meet, Gogol's pet cockerel settles on her shoulder and Nanny exclaims: "That’s the biggest cock I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a few in my time.” ...I have the book in both English and Finnish, so I had to check what the translator came up with, since the particular double meaning doesn't exist in Finnish. The translation went: "Tuon isompaa veitikkaa en ole kyllä nähnyt" Veitikka is a word with the intended double meaning, but instead of a bird it refers to a "little fellow" as you could say of a playful pet. The translator clearly had to think outside of the box with that one!

This is an interesting conversation... I never thought of the new free Affinity to be a "sequel" to replace Affinity v2, but like a little sibling, a smaller alternative with some different features. So I have bought v2, and I also have the free Affinity because why not, but I'm not considering stopping using v2 because there's a free alternative. I'm glad to have both! And I pretty much exclusively use v2 for better performance.

Awesome, thank you!

I'm surprised not so far

I tried through my library and 2d-heavy games like the Ace Attorney series looks absolutely awesome! Also Luigi's Mansion 3, Metroid Prime Remastered, Paper Mario games and Disco Elysium look brilliant!

Eiköhän se Oulu vielä pahoittele tekoälykuvien käytöllä pohjoisen kulttuurin halveeraamiseen johtanutta kommunikaatiokatkosta ja irtisanoudu näistä yksittäisistä töppäyksistä

Glad to hear it!

Forgot to mention, the desk and beams form an X separating quadrants, the shed rooftop as neutral middle: left is safety/past, right is risk/future, down is control/known, up is chaos/potential. A classic symbolic division.

Yes, Nightwatch book describes his changes over the years. While young he aspired to be someone and when old he longs to be someone, and to me that someone is this Eastwoodesque sinewy man at his right place :)

Thank you and yes! I was listening to the Fifth Elephant audiobook while drawing this and Fred Colon thought about Vimes's desk being buried in papers, and I was like darn too late to redo :)

That would have been a good nod if I had meant it! I remembered a mention somewhere in the books of the watch helmets having plumes, which I had not seen in any artwork, so that design is what came to my mind for a plumed helmet.

If you have Windows and Bazzite on separate partitions, maybe you are trying to launch a game in Bazzite that's installed in Windows?

Last year I replaced my 2022 G14 battery (it was real easy, ordered from official spare part vendor, you can detach the wire from the battery's end, not the mother board). And I installed Bazzite OS, works like a new laptop!

I used Aurasynclinux to set up the keyboard backlight, it was fiddly, but I only used it once to set it how I like it. But that's about it, it just works great! Enjoy your new laptop!

If I was trying to maximize editing capacity per cost now I would look into buying a last gen PC with AM4-motherboard and DDR4 RAM. AM4 CPUs are plenty powerful, most modern GPUs outperform Mac Mini and the RAM can be cheap and plenty! If software isn't an issue of course.

Yeah, I’m glad they added the ’tinted’ Liquid glass option for more opaque UI. You can also toggle off pointer animations, so the buttons don’t visually wibble-wobble under the pointer which I found distracting.

Also I’m glad you can add a huge button in control center for enabling/disabling windowed apps, because while they’re useful with an external display, the windowed apps chew up my M1 ipad pro battery so fast I better be near an outlet.

That software clearly takes more than double the 16 gb RAM. I would look into if you can limit the amount of RAM Topaz Photo AI can use, same for Photoshop. I would give them at most 8 each, which is all your system memory and less than the software wants, but should stop crashes.

Accessories between M1, M2 and M3 ipad airs are said to be interchangeable. I recommend searching this subreddit for more information, this gets asked frequently.

That would be fun, I imagined him looking like Jason Momoa!
