…oh, that’s pretty!..reminds me of when i redecorated my bedroom the summer of `83…

…maybe he’ll do the world a favor and step into an industrial shredder…

(shame about his genetic legacy, but hopefully all their mothers are mostly good people who give them a fighting chance at turning out well)

East Asia gets a very mixed representation in western media, but it’s still better than the (effectively) no representation that is typical of SEA (bar like one or two countries).

…for all grief folks give kara-tur, they made a respectable effort to represent the breadth of pacific asia folklore and culture; no less a patois of anachronistic legendarium than D+D did with western europe…

…hey kid, wanna buy a t-shirt?…

…i was going to say 16 ⅔ feet based on 1 ½ meters being about 5 feet, pretty close…

TIL!

…i also had no idea aluminised tetrapacks were recyclable; always figured composite materials were dead-end landfill fodder…

(the changeover wasn’t entirely in the sixties, though: as a kid, we used to peel cartons open and scrape off the wax for craft projects clear into the early eighties, never realised the packaging had changed prior to the advent of plastic screw-tops)

…typically they’re coated with food-grade wax…

…i visited fourty years ago; it was pretty lush…

…i’ve been disappointed with the print quality of most of their POD books since last year: it’s like someone isn’t monitoring the ink levels and one of the CMYK colors almost always looks washed out…

(did you miss this one?)

…1981 moldvay red box was my first product, but the first i played i think was 1977 holmes, although i don’t know for certain because i never saw my cousin’s books; in fact, i’ve been unable to identify which module he ran us through to this day…

…back in the CRT era i needed at least a 72Hz refresh rate to not feel any discomfort; that doesn’t exactly correlate with framerates on modern LCD displays but i think it’s a good proxy for the threshold of general perceptiblity…

…are greater framerates smoother?..sure, especially in my peripheral vision, but 72 FPS is generally good-enough beyond which returns start diminishing…
