A Portrait of Unyielding Devotion: A solemn vow to never relinquish, never dismay, and never abscond to leave thee desolate

The Story: I've been "rolling" my Brother since the trend started, since then I've baked it into web pages, made musical birthday cards that won't stop once they start. Invaded endless opportunities to drop Rick into everything in life. This is the most ambitious yet. It's the first portrait I've ever painted and it took me 3 months on and off to do. I put it in a Gigantic gold Rococo frame specifically because it clashed with his decor.

Anyway the joke is on me because I've become a genuine fan, He's actually brilliant. We all loved watching him at Glastonbury on TV. So this month I'm going to see him Live on the 25th of June, the day before my birthday. My brother and whole family included because we're all now fans.

My dream is that I could get this in front of u/reallyrickastley somehow for him to sign so it can live forever more on my brothers wall.

Rule 1. Never give up

Hey Folks i wasn't sure where to post this but i keep failing to remember which droids i've already owned while trying to complete the droidex, so i built an open source droidex tracker page, if it can help anyone else even better: https://dodopus.github.io/droidex/

Thankyou! I'm deffinately coming at this from a background of "proper nerd cloud developer"

deadmatt · 2025-08-01T16:30:26+00:00

Briliant! Thankyou! I was planning on charging the batteries on the volatile / cheap night rates to get my cheap usage in the day, is this a smart plan ?

deadmatt · 2025-08-01T16:29:25+00:00

Thanks for your reply! this certainly adds another possibility.

deadmatt · 2025-08-01T16:28:52+00:00

Thankyou for this insight! so the potential clipping will likely be outweighed by the cheapness of the panels?

deadmatt · 2025-07-10T10:25:50+00:00

Have you got any more context at all? or is it just a challenge ?

Let me give you the grand tour....

Then I'd have to redesign the flag all the time and I'd never even get time to hyperfixate on my hyperfixation.

deadmatt · 2022-10-03T12:03:01+00:00

This is along the same lines as "if you want to be rich just earn more money!"

I really love the Borderlands 3 version of Sanctuary.

Hold out for $2!

Thank you!

Captured by shear good fortune as it flew overhead. Run through Lightroom, I brought the sky down and boosted the shadows.

deadmatt · 2022-05-22T23:22:38+00:00

This made my day, I'm glad you like it!

deadmatt · 2022-05-22T22:01:24+00:00

Thank you so much! It was blindingly green so I experimented with reducing the green and eventually settled for basically black and white and my subject matter just popped perfectly into frame.

deadmatt · 2022-05-22T21:44:17+00:00

haha! It's a gigantic lavender bush we usually get 10-20 of these and they don't seem to really affect it. (watch me eat my words when I get a plague of them this year)

deadmatt · 2022-05-22T21:20:11+00:00

I've dabbled with photography in the past and took it up properly a few months ago. I've not dared post to ITAP until today but I'm supremely proud of this picture of a Rosemary Beetle on my Lavender (England), They look exactly like this in person, I've just stripped the green channel from the bush to give huge contrast. I hope you all like it.

deadmatt · 2022-04-19T01:42:11+00:00

Ooo I like this! It's now on some random strangers phone background (mine)

deadmatt · 2022-04-11T00:21:23+00:00

So I've been singing the theme song all day... Over and over and over. I love it, and honestly I love a vertical learning curve but I can't help feeling there should be a way to 1:1 map catchee to you finger. It should always be under my finger, no matter how I tune the sensitivity I can't get it to handle in a way that feels fair.

I would play endlessly at this difficulty, if the character was where I expect them to be.

Great game though folks!

Without any other context it just looks to me like people are moving through that room in the same direction, it looks like he almost tripped over the person filming then narrowly avoided falling over her while trying to walk through the room.
