Trying to catch up with all the known details of the AI voice situation with Arc Raiders b/c I like my ducks to be in a row.
Here are the things I see missing so far:
1. Royalties
2. "They gave permission"
3. People within the industry can still fuck up.

Veteran's Day has me thinking about a conversation w/ my mom about my WWII/Korea vet grandfather and her childhood as an army brat.
He was deployed primarily in the Pacific Theater and spent a considerable amount of his career in the far east before teaching at a military school.🧵

By beloved "Feline Spooky" garden flag has finally met her end after five+ years. The picture doesn't do the structural damage justice. Not bad for an upcycled 50 cent Kroger shopping bag.
Going to figure out if there's one more round in her or not by snipping out the central design.

Catching up on comics while I handle trick or treaters.
Undeadpool is the standout, for me, of the Age of Revelation books I'm pulling. SOLID body/psychological horror combo.
Cloak or Dagger is also opening with some real good potential angst.

The entire Venom: Black, White & Blood anthology has been great so far. "Stalker Syndrome" from Dastmalchian and Tan, though, was particularly evocative this issue.
I also liked Dastmalchian's short in Fresh Brains, so I hope to see him on more Venom some day.

"Oh god...this is it. This is what all those hustle culture weirdos are crowing about. My third eye is open. My very soul-"
*Crashes into a park bench while swerving to miss a bunny.*
(I'm fine. I ride a recumbent so the boom arm impacted first.)

When growing out a mohawk/undercut, there are typically 2 options:
-Big chop
-Awkward shape
Today I unlocked a secret 3rd option:
-Modern mullet...with a side of awkward.
I'm glad hat weather approaches.

Caught up on Space Ghost 3 & 4 tonight. What I really appreciate about this series, so far, is how each issue is mostly self-contained high adventure. But you can still get an issue like 4 that ends with you going "Space Ghost noOoooOo!!" A great change of pace and more "classic" approach.
