We got this text from our Dad: The VA called this morning turns out I do have lung cancer, they have me scheduled for a barrage of test to see how severe it is & then they can formulate a plan of attack. They're trying to get me to my 78th birthday. lol What ever happens the greatest title bestowed on me was "dad". It's been my honor to be called that by you 3. As I know more I'll let you know.

 

Inspired by some of the artwork posted by setsneedtofeed. (And no, I don't know how to tag people)

 

Any favorites on this list? I owned the SAAB and F150. Wouldn't mind owning a few more eventually.

 

Visited an Toyota Land Cruiser museum in Salt Lake City earlier this week. Here are my favorites!

That would be sweet! They had a Mercedes there that I considered also buying. I might go back and get it.

 

Norris running laps on my desk for practice!

Got this from a used book store for $20!

Same! And then daily drive it like it deserves!

 

The RX-7 is beautiful, but the S14 stole my heart!

 

The Corvette shop in Metro Denver had over a dozen Vettes waiting to be picked up by their owners. This was my favorite! The inside was as perfect as the outside.

😂, that was pretty good as we're all of the effects. I just didn't care about the characters or dislike the villain enough to care about what happened. I wanted too do bad as I'm a Tom Hardey fan and loved the first Venom.

Venom (lemmy.world)
 

Watched Venom 3 over the weekend, the inspiration to do this was the best part of the movie sadly.

I used a reference for it, my wife seeing me look at photos of shirtless muscle men was priceless!

Thank you! That's what I had in mind when I made the teeth.

 

They called it Nautilith, the guardian of the abyss, a beast forged from stone and bound by the ancient ocean’s rage. The last diver who glimpsed it barely resurfaced, his eyes glazed with terror, whispering only, "It watches... and it waits, cracking its stone maw wider with each heartbeat I have left."

And it whispers "me friends call me Jeff."

How to ADHD by Jessica McCabe is the best I've seen so far. It has sections geared towards neurotypical people. Her YouTube channel is pretty good too.

Some ideas I'd love to do to my players if I still played games like this (I'm old):

Parasitic Immortality: Each player’s body now harbors a sentient, parasitic entity from the elder god's realm. To stay alive, the player must feed the parasite by draining the life of others, and the parasite is very specific of who to consume and when. If they fail, the parasite consumes them from the inside, painfully regenerating them each time but with diminishing humanity.

Memory Reset: The players are indeed immortal, but each time they sleep, they lose a random set of memories or skills. Over centuries, they become strangers to themselves, unsure of their origins, skills, or even motivations. (Think Momento)

Unwanted Guests: Each player's soul is bound to their body forever, but their mind becomes vulnerable to invasion by the elder god's minions. Between play sessions, they find themselves "sharing" their consciousness with malevolent spirits who take control at unpredictable times and start the next play session in terrible or awkward scenarios. (Think GTA V when you switch characters, but more fucked up)

Mosaic Body: Their bodies no longer age, but they start falling apart, requiring constant replacement. They can survive only by patching themselves up with body parts from other beings, creating a grotesque patchwork appearance, and everything hurts. The more messed up ways to gain body parts the better. (Frankenstein's Monster)

Eternal Decay: The god grants them eternal life, but not eternal youth. They’re doomed to experience endless decay, enduring the sensation and accelerated loss of flesh, muscle, and sensation as their bodies remain animated corpses over months instead of decades.

Mirror Life: Between play sessions they wake up in a universe where their actions had the opposite outcome. Friends become enemies, achievements become failures, and they are eternally tormented by a reality where their efforts always yield the worst.

Bound to Territory: They live forever, but their bodies are tethered to a specific region—a cursed ground created by the elder god. If they stray too far, they wither, eventually getting pulled back in by an unseen force to endure perpetual cycles of death and rebirth.

Soul Fracture: Their souls split into multiple pieces, scattered across different planes. They’re immortal, but constantly feel the pain and emotions of all their fractured selves, and each piece they “reclaim” in other worlds is hostile, violent, and deranged.

He Lied: The elder god couldn't be trusted, he did some magic feeling and looking stuff that did nothing just to get these mortals to go away

HUG!!! (lemmy.world)
 
 

Is it bad that I want one of these too?

Keep posting! I love the work you do.

The middle bar between upper and lower windows, what is it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Smart! I wish I would have thought of that before I got here. I picked up a few today, no wet concrete yet.

That makes a lot of sense. Good excuse to do hard drive hunting!
