    I’m guessing this particular con’s cosplay policies don’t forbid this. Get with the times, guys!

      Whole thing seems like a rollup to Jim acting like Jim again. He’s been weirdly ok…ish? lately. It can’t last. Or this’ll be his Waterloo – pick one or both.

    The guy in the uniform should have volunteered info about cosplay, but it’s possible nobody was listening.

      Yeah, see, I have this medical condition. Anytime someone in a Nazi uniform opens their mouth, all I hear is a racist version of the teacher from Peanuts. Whatever justification or argument he might give is drowned out by the fact that he’s dressed like a NAZI.

        Yeah. Pretty much this. *points to Viktor*

          I also have the same medical condition. It’s called “Good sense.”

    A couple of Nazis at 3:18 and a Nazi officer at 3:20. I asked why and my wife said; “Hetalia.”

    (That wouldn’t explain the Nazis in the gas masks, though)

    1:30; “zombie” Nazi?

    Part of me says ‘of COURSE that’s awful and shouldn’t be allowed.’

    But I know if someone wandered by dressed up as Schrodinger from Hellsing I’d be delighted and likely not even cross my mind they’re dressed as a Nazi.

  • 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.
