    Oh dear. Will bloodstains wash out of the upholstery on those chairs?

    Also, I want to see the payoff for whatever is going on with the shirtless guy in the background.

      He’s cosplaying half a character from “Free!”

    Honestly I think even new readers will get the gist, if not the details.

    Does Terrence really think he has the authority to kick someone who they both acknowledge has a hotel room out of the hotel? For not wearing a badge?

    In the face of such immovable stupidity, I can see why Max decided to quietly turn the retribution dial up to 11.

      You never kick someone out of the hotel. You contact hotel staff or the police, and have them do it…

        Either of whom would laugh at Terrence for trying it for this reason. Kicking someone out of the hotel is for things like breaking the hotel’s rules, or for actual crimes.

        I wonder how many parts of what Terrence is trying to do were covered in the volunteer meeting he thought he was too good to go to? (I figure that even if he did end up going to it, he was feeling so full of himself that he wasn’t paying any attention.)

          Heck, he may have actually heard it and just assumed it didn’t apply to him since he’s staff. Terrence seems like kind of person…

  • 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

Note: While it’s true that many things are based on actual events, the characters contained within this strip are not meant to be direct analogs for actual people. They are not based off of people living, dead, or undead and any resemblance is coincidental. Nor are they based off of Ferrets.

Because that would be weird.
