This is one of my favourite Japanese prints, I love the atmosphere and sense of tranquillity. I was lucky enough to be able to visit Chionin Temple when I was last in Japan and I've included some photos in the reply below.
🎨'Chionin Temple' - Kawase Hasui, 1933.

I love whenever articles like this are all “SEE THE UNREASONABLE ANGRY DEMANDS OF THIS SJW TEACHER” and the teacher’s comment are always “please actually cite sources and try not to call your classmates demonic”

It’s Obra Dinn. Obra Dinn gives you a structure to work in that makes you feel like you’re smart even if you’re not *that* smart. It’s baffling that more AA/AAA games have not folded it into their games RPing ‘smart’ characters. (Even tho I’ve been pitching them for years.)
So what's a UX that feels like being the world's greatest detective?
Maybe... walking into a room, glancing around, and noticing something everyone else missed? To Batman, the clues are so obvious they might as well glow yellow.
Oh. Oh no. Ohhh no no no no n-3/7

there was a point in the late 80s, maybe lasting until the early 90s, when if you were so inclined you could feasibly replace the majority of your household furniture and whitegoods with functionally appropriate garfield merch

You do not have to be good at something to have fun.

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.
