    There was an Animazement (2007 I think?) where this happened TWICE.

      We’ve actually seen it before. Without clothes ALL of the characters look like stick figures.

        I believe Trae you also stated that they are just stick figure reps of real people so they aren’t really stick figures but just stick representations of real people.

        We have ti to use our own imagination to to interpret them as people.

          Well yes. I was talking about how they look in the art. Max and Veronica would look more like this in reality http://www.trhonline.com/uncon-reimagined/veronicaandmax.png

    As an attendee and staff member of MFF staff for 9 years I feel your pain. 4 of the last 9 years I think? Though for the last 2 at least I hadn’t gone to bed…..yet

    Leastwise nobody’s playing S&M games on the sprinkler vis the Great Flood at Disclave… (One of this year’s Kazoo Award categories was convention mis-accomodations. I had absolutely no trouble whatsoever finding six songs, each about a different convention for the ballot. I could have likely found three times that number if I’d needed to. 🙂 )

    I was in a hotel (not at a con) where this happened. Someone had been holding some sort of candle lit ritual in his room and it got out of hand. Fire doors shut and everything. We didn’t have to evacuate though, so we had that.

  • Every Time I Say My Desk is 'Peak' Cyberpunk, I End Up Topping It ( November 30th 2020 )


    My current desk

    So every few years I've felt the need to make an update about my ever evolving workspace, and how I (more and more) seem to be cultivating an aesthetic that screams "secondary side character in a cyberpunk story who probably gets killed off in the third act." It's an aesthetic I've been working on on purpose (well, not the getting killed off bit), but every time I declare it's reached "peak cyberpunk" I end up outdoing it soon after anyway.

    Like that 2017 update? I exceeded it in mere months.

    Anyway, since I made some significant changes recently, I thought I'd post an update about my weird hole of many screens where I run The Nerd & Tie Podcast Network from. I'm not going to run through everything, but I will map out the biggest differences from 2017. The first is (obviously) the 32" display up top, which I now use to stream media on instead of the Kindle Fire (though the Kindle Fire is still used for audio bumpers on podcasts). An Apple TV runs that, though I also have a spare Switch dock hooked up sometimes. The Linux laptop is gone (I mean I still have it though), replaced by the late-2011 13" MacBook Pro which used to be my main personal machine. That MacBook Pro is tucked away, but displays on the relocated black monitor in the lower left.

    Of course, my new main personal machine is a brand spankin' new M1 Mac mini, which is controlled by the keyboard and trackpad that sit where my laptop used to be. I've expanded the physical desk (and retired the mini fridge) to support the monitor for the Mac mini. And don't worry, Linux isn't gone from my desk (and I mean I still use the laptop) -- as you will notice one last monitor on the lower right which is hooked up to a Raspberry Pi 400. This is notably used from a different chair, as that's my "goof around" computer, and would literally be a distraction if I was trying to use it while getting work done.

    It's funny, I bought two computers in 2020, both of which are ARM based. With a good chunk of my desk now on RISC architecture, I'm happy I can just dig out this image without context as I sign off for today...

    RISC is good
