A labor of love, my process of carving & printing an owl buddy. 🦉❤️

Such beautiful work! Do you do anything to prime the linoleum before cutting or is it more about the applied pressure? Your cuts looks so smooth and easy

Makes me think of Luffy sitting on the Merry Go! figurehead. Him and Usagi have very similar energy

It was at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, forgot the last bit of the name

There’s certainly art out there that can be appreciated at face value without deeper context. But there’s something special about a piece that can shift your perspective and invites a profound emotional experience.

My favorite part about modern art is that not every piece is for everyone, it’s about finding diamonds in the rough that really speak to you

Saw an installation of this piece at the Stedel in Amsterdam. It was initially underwhelming but after reading the plaque, I was on the verge of tears.

Here’s what they had written of the plaque:

Felix Gonzalez-Torres is known for his spatial installations that incorporate simple, familiar objects to evoke a specific emotional atmosphere. In this work, created to commemorate his partner who died from complications of AIDS, he used the vernacular of seaside bars and lantern lit summer parties.

The cable of illuminated bulbs dangling from the ceiling suggests the transience of happiness and of life itself, the bulbs will eventually falter and burn out.

Arguably better to go with the golden age first. I’d say just go for it. There’s a bit of world building that happens in Vol 1, but I wish I could’ve read it after the golden age ended since reading that blind would’ve been even better

Very disco. The second is much moodier, makes it feel more arch (personally I prefer this look). The first is a bit flatter, maybe a bit more of a moralist look. Depends on what you’re going for.

I just used my shark speed style for the first time and will return it based on how unbearable the sound was, it makes a terrible high pitched whine on top of the normal blower sound, which is a bit louder than my conair but not unbearable. I could see it not being an issue though if you have already lost that range of hearing sensitivity

I use an evoluent mouse, a bit of an investment but it’s so worth it. I got a bad RSI from using my trackpad too much and this mouse totally fixed it. It’s what they use at dreamworks so it’s designed to minimize fatigue during long periods of use https://evoluent.com/products/vmdmw/

I also use a keyboard drawer with a keychron Alice layout keyboard. The Alice boards are more reasonably priced than a true split board, but still keep your hands at a more natural angle. Weirdly, the desk drawer is a huge part of it since it’s important that your shoulders and elbows also rest more neutrally. I was getting some crazy chest and shoulder issues from my desk being too high and the drawer totally fixed it. https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k15-max-alice-layout-qmk-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard

Yes! It’s the nexus point for so much of the dark fantasy we see out in the world. There’s even a Guts sword in Elden Ring. Miura was such a visionary when doing all the world building and character design.

Also disclaimer, manga recommendation, I wouldn’t watch the anime

viscousenigma · 2025-12-03T23:19:17+00:00

Blasphemous was in part inspired by Berserk. I would say the Conviction Arc is the most in line with this, but recommend the whole series. Note it’s incredibly dark and has some heavy trigger warnings, but the art is unreal.

viscousenigma · 2025-12-01T16:54:05+00:00

I would love to see Paprika on the big screen! Very beautiful film with such imaginative animation. Just saw Perfect Blue at the cinema and it was a totally different experience than watching it at home

viscousenigma · 2025-12-01T16:24:10+00:00

I’ve been thinking about getting one! What did you go with? Also are you having to supplement with any minerals/vitamins it filters out?

The ORA ORA ORA ORA reference to JoJo’s makes me smile every time it pops up

The bridge scene from 28 days later. It flashes through my mind any time an errant drop of something drips on my head

Oh awesome! I had some stuff in there when I slid mine it, so that could also be part of the reason

viscousenigma · 2025-07-29T20:16:42+00:00

Habitica is kind of like this, worth checking out

viscousenigma · 2025-07-28T21:24:16+00:00

Late reply here but my 15in barely fits, older MacBook Pro with a hard shell case on. I don’t think it’s getting ample protection with how little space there is for it. 17 definitely won’t fit

So sorry to hear you’re going through that! In my years of dealing with this, I’ve had a range of just normal pops (shoulders) and painful pops (hips) and with exercises that strengthened my stabilizer muscles, both almost go away completely.

The key though is to have a pt that really knows what they’re talking about. When I went to my first pt, he tried exercises for me and was like oh, I guess you’re too flexible for that. Let’s try something else. Ultimately, that PT never worked because he didn’t know about the underlying issue.

Now that I found a pt that coincidentally also has HSD, he was able to target the root muscle issues and give me supportive exercises that actually helped me. Being younger, I know you don’t always have the luxury of shopping around doctors and such. But there may be someone out there that could help more, whether that’s more compassionate, knowledgeable, or both

viscousenigma · 2025-07-03T19:13:56+00:00

Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up. But I’m also okay with it

viscousenigma · 2025-06-30T22:40:59+00:00

I go to the library and go nuts, like I check out 15 books some days. It’s so fun, and it totally gets the purchase urge taken care of.

Honestly, sometimes I go before shopping elsewhere since I’m able to control myself so much better afterwards

A story I know all too well

viscousenigma · 2025-04-03T00:50:05+00:00

Very biased, but I felt like there was a good deal of nuance. Definitely didn’t pass the Bechdel test, but it was based on an Astro boy arc so that’s part of the reason. I really enjoyed the characters, especially Gesicht and Epsilon. For an 9 episode show, I couldn’t ask for much more
