Commodore

AKA Brandon. I am a Software engineer by day, gamer at night (both at a table and on PC). I am painting miniatures for tabletop wargames like Relicblade and Battletech. Other hobbies include astronomy and reading (fiction mostly, favourite books are the Aubrey/Maturin series and I also generally like sci-fi and fantasy). I used to drink whiskey (with an e) and smoke camel wides but have given up both. I greatly prefer pirates over ninjas, but both have their place. GNU/Linux is my IDE.

Did you know someone reverse-engineered the Weather Channel computer system from the 80s/90s and now you can generate your own private weather channel for your location?

Travel Forecast for Thursday as generated by the Weather Star 4000+ emulator. At the bottom my humidity of 7% and dew point of 21Β°F.

Everything is washed out like an analog NTSC television image, which I did by overlaying shaderglass with an NTSC shader.

Sunset in northern Minnesota near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.

#Photography #Minnesota #BWCAW

A photo of sunset over a river with clouds reflecting in the blue water. The river is surrounded by lush greens and lily pads are on the river. The sunset is yellow/orange and there's a starburst on the horizon created by the sun.

A painted miniature of a Jenner IIC 'Mech.  It is light ash gray, and the cockpit glass is dark red.  The dragon emblem of the Draconis Combine is on its right leg.  A thin black stripe traces the circumference of its saucer-shaped head.  The miniature is photographed on grassy terrain.

It's heron season. I think it's comforted by the flamingos.

Resorting to protest by memes because at this point is there anything we can actually do beyond shouting at the sky? Basically umbrella revolution vibes as our rights and basic government services are taken away

TIME ZONES ARE SO CRAZY.
IN DENMARK IT'S NOON.
IN CANADA IT'S 6AM.
IN THE USA IT'S THE LATE 1930S GERMANY.

@grs @hacks4pancakes they are not a conservative party, everything they're doing and proposing is very radical.

Edit to add: and you're right they're definitely not small government either.
