Morak has been solving very sophisticated problems of great import by rotating hexagrams in Spider-Man 2. Understand that these are Full Rotations - and perhaps as an index of his skill, he tells me that when he rotates a hexagram it "stays rotated." I didn't have a lot of context to go on, but it sounds like in this specific scenario that's good.
Oh! Before we get into anything else, actual prostate doctors got hold of me and sent me a bunch of links - the main one being this, a recommendation from the incredibly important sounding U.S. Preventive Services Task Force which basically says that the decision to even do PSA screening is more trouble than it's worth. That's literally what it says - they say it should be a personal decision. And that's for people who are like ten years older than us! People our age, which I thought was quite advanced, aren't even on the chart for recommendations. Somebody needs to tell our fucking doctors this information, because it seems like they don't know. Mine lost his watch in there last time; I had to come back later.
When we were writing the strip, Gorbiriel revealed that he had a date with Destiny - specifically the part of his destiny where someone he barely knows rummages around inside his VIP area. The last comic we have about this - there is a nontrivial amount of content here under the "prostate" tag - is from February of this year, which indicates that he's waited seven full months to engage in this Satanic consummation. God only knows what's been going on in there since. With any luck, it's simply sprouted legs and run off.
The Meta Quest 3 is a really interesting device from a company whose primary footprint on the world is essentially a form of elder abuse. I've had to talk with my mom about a lot of the things she sees on there. Certainly, I could just offer her the equal and opposite political force - as a suburban Seattleite I am profoundly well versed in its various catechisms. But she's only telling me those things to counter what she thinks I think. That torrent is something I had been combating in each discreet instance, so lately I've just been trying to explain how bad arguments are constructed and what the signs to look out for are. It seems like it might be saving me time? I guess we'll see.
Having been reared by the sort of racer where I use other cars as turn-one shock absorbers, largely alongside Gabir, the last few years have taken him into more rarified air. Apparently - apparently - it's gauche to hurtle into a corner like a bat-faced demon, confident that the cushion of another's steel and flesh will orient you toward the exit.
I'll be in there as soon as I can, but Dabe will get started in on Solar Ash and I think we'll probably end up beating it today. From there, we'll try a few NextFest demos off Steam or see if one of the recent Witchfire patches cleaned up our framerate in streaming. Either way, gonna be good.

We are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Child’s Play charity this year with a dinner and auction on Friday November 10th! We would love it if you joined us!
James Corden apparently hosted some kind of "all hands" meeting at Activision Blizzard, I sorta thought he had been launched into space for being an oddly patrician weirdo who gets banned from restaurants. The questions that emerged from it felt a little soft, perhaps even spherical.
It looks like my Deadpool Variant art for Marvel Snap is coming to the game as a part of a new bundle!
I think it's entirely possible to have a conversation about the efficacy of a mask outside, or in your own car. Happy to discuss it. But if you are very sick, if fluids are just… erupting out of you, in an endless torrent, and you're on an enclosed cylinder this isn't a COVID paranoia thing. We aren't even talking about COVID. I don't know what the fuck you brought in here. This is a you being an asshole thing.
I’ve been watching Gen V and I think it’s a great show but my God the people actually delivering on some of these visuals need to be getting hazard pay.
We did a strip about the Gran Turismo movie. Oh! And I just figured it out! Australia is ahead of time as I live it in Seattle! It's in the future. Which means that Australians don't have the same schedule at all - for them, Penny Arcade updates on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday! Ha! A ha ha ha!!!! I think I made this realization at some point in the past, but I either forgot - the least likely scenario - or a previous version of myself was destroyed for even knowing it. Which means, among other things, that we rest, now, at a very dangerous precipice.
The Third episode of our new Acquisitions Inc. series just hit YouTube!
Okay! Sleep didn't work out so well. Brain workin' hard, thinking about PAX Aus. Ryan sent me a few pictures of the food he ate, and they were quite welcome, because Melbourne must be one of the best cities to eat things in the entire world. To prove this, I went to an online site - a "web page" - listing twelve or so of the best restaurants in town, and even after going to said town once a year every year for ten years, I'd never heard of any of them. But I could make my own list of twelve that I'd put up against anywhere I've ever gone. Roster's deep out there.
Presumably as the result of a powerful spell, the sky overhead Seattle has been set to Deluge for a week or so. I was in the studio yesterday and it was literally a roar inside the building. You walk to your car, a couple hundred feet, and it's like you stepped out of a swimming pool.
