    Well done. This will worry him more than just about any other possible course of action. Misdirection isn’t just for stage magic.

    Kill em with kindness. Or I could throw in the thing in the Bible and what Jesus said about turning other cheek. Either way, this is a very interesting way to handle things. It’s funny how some of the more pacifist methods tend to work. Although Jim is probably going to keep that grudge.

    Bork con really needs to update their webpage… or is the comic moving slow enough that it really is only 2014?

    It’s got to be killing him that Lynn isn’t pitching a fit, getting upset, etc etc. He wants a confrontation and he’s not getting it. Lynn acting like absolutely nothing happened. Sweet

      I almost wonder if Lynn responding like was preciously Jim’s intent somewhere, as if he’s trying to prove his claims of her being dangerous. Honestly though, I don’t think he’s dumb enough to aim exactly for that since it means he would be purposely trying to provoke violence. Jim’s an douchebag, but I don’t think (and I could be wrong) that he’d stoop as low as someone getting injured on purpose.

      Non-physical hostile reactions and insults though, yeah, he was definitely hoping for that.

    Random question. Why do the cons keep putting Bork Con and Unagi Con next to each other at the Ambassador Alley?

      Because it’s conducive to funny comic strips!

      In-universe? Maybe lack of space? That sounds plausible…

        Yea I figure it sets up for the joke, but I’m just wondering how that keep happens in the said universe. This just might be a coincidence this time, if this happens a third time, then something is clearly fishy.

          Might be some con specific organization method that only the cons themselves are privy to. That or they’re just putting the ambassador tables all in one area and there aren’t that many to the point it just keeps happening by coincidence.

      According to the staff mailing list that they still haven’t removed me from, They weren’t a problem in the past and they already told Whatsitcon that they couldn’t be moved without messing up the program book so nobody else could be moved without looking really bad.

  • 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.
