A few last minute edits, and my little 32x32px Doom sprite collection is complete. ✌️

(mostly) 32x32px fan sprites of the classic Doom monsters. The Cyberdemon is 40x40px; the Spider Mastermind is 64x40px.

a visual representation of that encounter in comic form

me holding my babe talking to another baby in a sled “omg buddy are you a dandelion? that’s so cute your mom is so talented! let’s see your sister”

a little girl dressed as a blue house. all you can see are her limbs coming out of the sides and bottom, and two little eyes in the top window. “OMG are you dressed as a house?” “no” “oh sorry baby what are you?”

the girl in a blue house costume points at an identical blue house across the street. “i’m THAT house”

Every day my mailbox is empty. That is why waiting for the mail is a sad time for me.

Exclusive: Anthropic spent $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in the first three quarters of 2025, around 100% of their estimated revenue. Its costs appear to increase with their revenue, showing little path to profitability.

a hastily photoshopped panel from Swamp Thing v2 48. in the original panel, a woman named Judith is telling John Constantine: "They say I'll have the power to turn into a *bird*, John. They're entrusting me with a sacred *mission*."
in the modified version, Judith's head, seen from the back, has been crudely replaced with Yoshi's head, and the speech bubble now reads:
"They say I'll have the power to turn into a *car*, John. They're entrusting me with a sacred *mission*."

Missing DOS Monday rears its head again, and today we have(n't got) Dark Passages (1996).

The Shareware version was released by Gene Pokropski, who passed away last year.

The alleged full version claimed to feature many more stages, and an illustrated manual, but no public records of it exist. 😞

you can always put your mask back on. just because you stopped doing it all the time doesn’t mean you can’t choose to make a smart choice when the risk is higher.

Frogs were a kind of semi-aquatic anuran once widely distributed in the old world. These now extinct amphibians once had great cultural significance, especially among the subjects of the late American empire.
