So #Putin offers us “peace” if we surrender four regions completely, including Kherson and Zaporizhe.
This is insane, since he wants #Ukraine to submit even two large cities #Russia doesn’t control.
We also have to promise not to join #NATO
This is not a peace offer, this is basically a demand for unconditional surrender. But my point is different.
Watch everybody in the coming days who say Russia wants peace. They are either idiots or russian assets.
Pls boost.
I love those videos where a guy cooks a big meal -- bread, steak, veggies, tea -- in the wilderness, with nothing but a knife, tea kettle, and a big flat rock.
... And the $50,000 vehicle that brought him to the wilderness, and ten grand of video editing equipment, and an entire global trade system that brought him his spices and oils and meats and veggies...
People watching that thing thinking, I'll be ok when civilization fails, I know where there's a flat rock.
While she certainly knew better days, the massive presence of her rusted bones cannot be overstated. When we can only imagine her past, the range of possibilities becomes the true poetic nature of the transformed object.
More black mass exploration with this warming up #Wreckage
It feels like Edinburgh has been under siege by rain for two weeks now, so today is a welcome respite.
The critical reader.
Continuing my black masses exploration with this quick scribble with added flat color scheme.
Very out of comfort zone by the way. Which makes these exercises quite fun.
Hello there! I've been talking about this for a while now but 2024 is the year: the Mileships narrative artbook is coming to Kickstarter in April. You can sign up to be notified at this link:

All your support is greatly appreciated. More on this soon!
@kevinrothrock thank you
Putin’s full national address today on yesterday’s terrorist attack outside Moscow. I’ve added English-language subtitles.
hence = from here
hither = to here
thence = from there
thither = to there
whence = from where
whither = to where
I am very proud to present the results of my latest project...
...the first-ever fully documented and annotated disassembly of Lander on the Acorn Archimedes.
Lander was the very first game released for the ARM platform, and is arguably the only game ever written explicitly for the original ARM1 processor (there are famously no MUL instructions in there). And, of course, it's the second bona fide classic from the genius of David Braben, as this is the game he wrote next after his astonishing work on Elite.
I will be adding a number of deep dives to the site over the coming weeks, but for now, I hope you enjoy the results, which you can see here:
And as always there is also a GitHub repository containing fully buildable source code that you can play with:
https://github.com/markmoxon/archimedes-lander
I hope you like it!

something i dont think people really get is that when development of a game is say, 80% finished you don't have 80% of a game, you have 0% of a game and 80% of the disparate parts that would make up a game if they were actually 100% done and put together
I figured I'd start sharing some doodles again. Here is a helicopter thingie.
@iamgerardthomas @Curator looks like time to find a better instance.
@iamgerardthomas this is such a great process!
I don't usually draw cockpits ( and I should because they are really cool ), however, here's a sketch of what could be a large exoplanet explorer cockpit interior, including Ralph, who is admiring the landscape or sleeping. I don't know.
By the way: cold or warm?
We just finished Mr Bates vs. The Post Office, and I will now begin the petition to get Toby Jones to star in a four part drama about how the British government procured PPE during the covid lockdowns.
