Okay there are enough serious replies I promise* to write up what I think a tool would need to replace google sheets. There are some challenges (having an online, easily accessible, versioned source of truth) that may be harder to solve than you'd think. But I appreciate anyone brave enough to try!

Who is going to save the life of every narrative designer on earth and create a CSV word processor so no one has to write a script in google sheets ever again?

Mi única crítica es que carga mucho del liberalismo obamesco en su visión pero como lo combina con un foco en la materialidad de las cosas, y sí le sabe mucho al tema de granjas y producción de comida, yo siempre le echó un ojo a lo que hace.

Hoogerbrugge's HOTEL was pioneering in blending interactivity, narrative & digital artistry. Flash support ended in 2020, but it's playable on the #WaybackMachine .

Sarah Taber, con quién tengo varios caveats pero le respeto mucho su trabajo sobre granjas tiene mucho que decir sobre cómo "family farms" es puro PR dr latifundios, cómo son campos de esclavos y por qué vemos siempre caras blancas en granjeros a pesar de que hay una tradición afroamericana

either the YT algorithm really is screwed, or this video was poorly packaged, but I think it's very good so check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

I basically am limiting now to my subscriptions feed but that still limits growth and occasionals which are also needed. I actually found the channel because my brother recommended it to me.

It's #PortfolioDay. I'm Allan, a sort-of-retired but can't give up drawing. So here are some recent pieces of work showing that I still draw old stuff after a career illustrating old stuff & occasionally doing what I did professionally.

#ArchitecturalIllistration
#drawing #pencil #watercolour

Pencil and watercolour sketch of a three storey house with black and white painted walls, a doorway with slightly projected porch at the head of a stairway and bow window to the principal floor.

Pen drawing of a metal tub on small wheels, from a former copper mine, used as a planter in front of a building with a six-panel door and sixteen-paned window. Metal baskets hold other plants and there is an old weighing machine at the corner of the pavement.

Cutaway drawing of a building used for unloaded railway wagons and transferring lime into horse drawn carts and wagons.

Pen sketch of a bookshop with bookshelves outside under an awning. Another shop next door has a large window filled with a lattice shop display.

A while ago, I found an interesting number pattern and designed a puzzle about it. Would you take a small break and have a go at it? 🍵🫖 Please tell me if you think you got the solution, or if you need a hint.

Text on the right:
The Tower of Ba5el.
Each stage of the tower is a different integer, written in an unknown language.
What is the tower's next stage?
Can the tower grow infinitely tall?
a puzzle designed by Younès Rabii, original painting by Bruegel.

Calculations on the left:
1. A
2. A^B
3. A^(B+C)
4. A^(C-B)
5. A^(B+D)*C
6. A^(C+D+E)/2
7. A^(D-C+E)/2
8. ?

Reminder that the CRPG Book is freely available as PDF. That's how the whole project started, I edited & designed it

But the difference in awareness when it went from a free ebook to a hardcover was gigantic. I hope Bitmap recovers from this mess, publishers are important to reach the mainstream :/

Hi, I spent 10+ years researching all sorts of PC RPGs: AAAs, indies, RPG Maker, non-English, etc. Together with 167 volunteers, I created/edited The CRPG Book: crpgbook.wordpress.com

You can download it for free, or buy a hardcover edition from Bitmap Books - ALL author's revenue goes to charity!❤️

Should you find yourself in a similar position, this video has a lot of tells to watch for. I’d add:
• fabric looks fake/lines are wobbly
• pattern doesn’t come with instructions (what are you paying for in that case?)

También es necesario evaluar el impacto de las zonas urbanas y granjas porcinas y de otras posibles causas de contaminación de la única fuente de agua con la que contamos en la región, que es precisamente el 𝙖𝙜𝙪𝙖 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖́𝙣𝙚𝙖.

Estos sistemas de cuevas descargan el agua continental hacia el Mar Caribe, proveyendo un sistema de drenaje natural ante eventos ciclónicos. Si estos conductos de agua subterránea se ven modificados u obstruidos repentinamente, el agua se acumula causando grandes inundaciones.
