Have a look :D http://zone.dog/braindump/rhoxels/

I extracted over 400 images of hills, trees, mountains, towns and cities for #ttrpg mapmaking and #gamedev from a 17th century map. I hope this is useful to someone. https://zarkonnen.itch.io/extracted-1688-map-images

the autistic urge to use parentheses in every sentence (because you're afraid people will misunderstand it (or interpret additional meaning into it (which has happened before (many times (with terrible consequences (and i'm not even talking about the trauma this caused))))))

@lis
I find I can avoid⁷ most³ parentheses by using footnotes¹ 🤷♂️
¹) many people² appear to find footnotes irritating⁴, but they don't break up the reading flow as much as parentheses do.
²) or at least the ones I talked to about this. There may well be a sampling bias here.
³) maybe even all? I can't really think of a counter example, but might well be missing something somewhere.
⁴) "irritating" may not be the best word here - there's a perception of pretentiousness about footnotes⁶ that parentheses don't seem to convey.
⁵) This footnote isn't even referenced anywhere. You found it anyways. Yay, you!
⁶) Probably owing to the difficulty of inserting and tracking them before computers took most of that burden from us.
⁷) Or better "replace".

i beg everybody who's rotating text in photoshop to change the antialiasing from sharp to smooth so that the letters' baseline isn't completely off-kilter like a ransom note

@rgb Lol, yeah. She's 20 years old, though, and had plenty of opportunities to learn other programming languages. She's doing Universal Learner Courses at Arizona State University and decided, on her own, to take a programming course. Only too late we learned why the language being taught wasn't listed in the description 😂

forget wheels vs doors, do you think there are more sadists or masochists in the world? and i'm talking in as broad terms as possible, not necessarily defined kink rolls. do more people enjoy hurting or being hurt?

Because these billboards are just monitors rotated 90 degrees, they’re invisible to polarized sunglasses. It’s like a real-life ad blocker!
