here in lies the secret.

The thrice damnedable green-eyed glipus (plural: glipee) averages about 1.5 feet tall, with size 11 trotters it loves to stamp around with in crawl spaces, attics, and basements. They're quite fond of kicking door jams and appliances if they find their way in your home, as it's the only way they can get out their aggressive streak since they are deathly afraid of anything living and will flee at the first sign of life. This makes mating rather difficult and consequently the glipus is considered endangered. The glipus has a special pheromone designed to attract a mate and overcome their cowardly nature. Unfortunately, it smells just like burning electrical wires leading to many glipus getting zapped by stray wiring, and many homeowners suffering from low quality sleep due to the pheromone's odor causing a concern of fire. Glipee eat mostly much, sticks, and twigs. Their bodies aren't designed to digest such things, so they make a terribly unnutritious food source for them, but good luck of convincing a glipus that.

A nocturnal and distant half-mutant cousin of the orangutan, the slugbellied saunterer has an incredible ability. It can form a vacuum with it's suction cup like mouth and blow so hard, with aid of it's tongue, it can unlock almost any door. If the door squeaks as they open it, they'll close it back right away and move along. The slug bellied saunterer is nothing if not considerate and will leave any lock it tampers with restored to the state in which it found it, by using it's powerful lungs to suck the lock back locked. The most obvious sign a slug bellied saunterer has been around is a sticky spitty door knob.
These 7 foot tall apeoids find sleeping creatures, man and animal, irresistibly adorable and will stand in the shadows watching them for hours, but their main cause for breaking and entering is to eat. They love anything spoiled, stale, or neglected to the back of the fridge or pantry.
Often putting any wrappers or containers back where they found them. If they can find something to poke a discreet hole with, they have been known to pierce fruits and use their mouths to suck all the juice out of them. Leaving a mostly normal looking but disappointingly dry fruit in its place.
During the day it is believed they stay in the houses of unobservant people, standing perfectly still in a corner or closet.

I was walking outside at night and heard what sounded like a chicken that kept screeching in the distance in a forest. I've heard other odd things come out from that forest...

Lurk. For more than two years.

I don't remember much from the early years, I rarely stopped in myself. But I always appreciated the slower pace and some of the crew were (and are!) pretty cool cats. I remember one of the members used to engage and ask questions - almost like a curious AI bot... surreal for the time because this was years ago.

If only the AI we suffer through today were curious...

I'm going to give you 3 truths and 1 lie. You must determine which is/are which.
This site is our 4th home. 
We even had our own site at one point. 
We made 2 issues of a Zine.

What happened to the VA-11 Hall-A sequel?

it's kinda sad seeing how much of a bloated mess minecraft has become. i don't play anything above 1.8, and only played 1.12 with friends and it was a really annoying experience with all the combat changes they made. i usually only play it for a couple weeks a few times a year now, then i shelve it.

I played Minecraft back in the early 2010s with a few other people and had a good time, but I couldn't get into it as a single-player game. I guess I'm more into games with more clearly-defined goals.

Counter Strike Condition Zero. It's my favorite Counter Strike. There's something about this game that brings me back to the early 2000's. I've been experimenting and modifying the bots, adjusting their classes, difficulty, and adding some of my own. Like Spike, who'll only use a TMP or Mac but can snipe you across the map with it.

I'll also occasionally play Counter Strike Condition Zero Deleted Scenes, the campaign for Counter Strike. Terrible as it is, I for some reason keep finding myself playing it again.

I wish I was. I recall not being afraid of spiders and such in my early childhood, but at one point it was like a switch got flipped in my brain.

>>2267
When I was little bugs freaked me out so bad, so my mom got me to learn a bunch about insects and arachnids, and eventually the fear was replaced by curiosity and admiration.

>>2268
I remember my brother chasing me around the house with a toy spider when I was pretty young and being freaked out. That was the first time I ever recall being scared of them. Even though he was doing it to frighten me and had no problem with them at the time, he soon developed a fear of bugs too. It's really weird.

getting a bike to ride out could be nice
shortens grocery runs and commute in general if you used to walk
and the breeze you feel while riding at night is heavenly

Hey buddy, I think you've got the wrong door, /tech/'s five boards down.

Whenever radio anon gets around to it, really. He's a busy man, so who knows. If all else fails, figure out how to host it yourself.

getting scared at night is just human evolution

I ain't a scientist, but I know that sometimes when your brain is lacking sensory input (i.e. a lack of light), it will overcompensate with certain senses. Maybe your brain is on that wavelength

>>2230
No, it's the oposite of that effect, since things are less noticable when it's (potentially coinidenally) dark.

I for one feel like AI's presence is both a blessing and a curse when it comes to a creative medium.

As a blessing, it can help artists rediscover form, rediscover style, explore composition, pose,  it shows just how important lighting is, and it shows the value of handcrafted works, and how the human element matters in art.

As a curse, it looks good to those who don't look at it. But when you look closer, even outside obvious thinks like hands, there are incongruencies that are plainly-obvious to those who simply zoom in, or look closer at the generated images. Even if a non-artist looks closer, they can spot problems with the art.

But the worst of the curse? The people. The people looking to profit off of AI, or looking to use it as a quick means to save money. The people who hold control over the jobs who make creative works possible. They're banking on "AI" being something that will save them hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs and they're banking on it even if it destroys the livelihoods of real artists who put real work into the art- even if it is just dumb, soulless corporate paper-clipping-flat-bullshit.

And on top of these frat/sorority-club types in big business who wish to cut corners everywhere, are the braindead morons who hate the machien think that the machine is the one threatening them. It's like a tree who blames the axe for the chopping the lumberjack does- dumb, misplaced, and completely towards the wrong target. The axe is unthinking, unfeeling,

>cola champagne
Excellent but Cola soda, or specifically the clear Champagne style tastes like mild, very slightly tangy cola... which is hard to explain because >americans don't know anything about actual cola nut flavor.
Also old-fashioned Frescolita-style flavor enjoyer, it's great on shaved ice

These are my two favorite ones. I haven't had an RD in some years now, unfortunately. The old convenience store where I use to git them went out of business. Clearly Canadian was something that I loved for years as a kid but then one day they just stopped having them at the grocery store. A few years ago though I discovered that thay had come back. I thought they had been discontinued. Raspberry one is my favorite but I've found the blackberry one is pretty good too. Haven't tried the other two flavors.

The beverages, Mason! What do they mean!?
