What a delightful sleeping bag

If someone broke into your tent trying to murder you you could just scare them off as a bear.

Ok but what happens if you’re wearing this and a bear breaks into your tent?

Fun history trivia time: in WWI there was a pigeon that lost a leg and an eye delivering a message that ended up saving a stranded unit of American soldiers. Other soldiers from their division whittled her a wooden leg and she was treated like a war hero: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cher_Ami

The ways that exist to break this game that simultaneously do absolutely no damage to how this game functions are ASTONISHING.  

Through his many incarnations, Link has learned the Danger of the Cuccos, and now at last, at last, he has learned how to turn that to his advantage.

Wow, Dune 2020 is already looking awesome.

this is one of the things Zer0 will say if you flip a vehicle over while he’s in it (at least i think it is judging by the name of the audio file, i haven’t ever personally heard him say this)

OMFG WHY HAVENT I HEARD THIS BEFORE

this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby

they didn’t abandon her!! they tried eight months to reach her!!!! as their last farewell to her yesterday they played her “I’ll be seeing you” by Billie Holiday:

“I’ll find you in the morning sun

And when the night is new

I’ll be looking at the moon

But I’ll be seeing you”

They love her so much and they tried so hard!!!

Oh man, It doesn’t end there.

This isn’t the first song NASA sent Opportunity. They had a playlist:

https://www.space.com/41434-mars-rover-opportunity-wakeup-music-playlist.html?fbclid=IwAR3uL6q4tOmLQTIEhiwYegGc99nv4N01HQKItpCLQiQYIptBOevNN6uIyT8

It’s on Spotify, it’s called “Opportunity, wake up!“

This is what’s great about NASA and it’s what’s great about people. These are world-class engineers. When they sent a rover to another planet they could have easily looked at it as just another scientific tool. But people don’t do that. We can and will get emotionally attached to the most inanimate of objects. We can and will anthropomorphize anything. And frankly Opportunity’s camera mast looks like a little face with eyes and everything, so why not?

So they started calling it her.

They nicknamed her Oppy.

They told her to take a selfie not long ago.

After 15 years of Oppy flipping the double bird to her original 90 day life expectancy, when a planet-spanning dust storm finally knocked her out and she stopped responding to the engineer’s wake-up messages, they started playing music for her.

And after 8 months and almost 1000 unanswered wake-up messages, when it was finally clear that Oppy was never going to wake up, the last thing these world-class NASA engineers did for their little rover on another planet

Was play her a love song

A very important drawing.

“Hahah!” I laughed to myself while taking a break from drawing and messing around with my reference pictures. “I wonder how Junkrat would look with a beard. This is gonna be so funny.”

Guys. I’m shaking.

Guys, what the FUCK!?

This is legitimately terrifying

Channel A

Do you like watching Anime? What about making fun of it? What about tossing ideas back and forth with your friends? Are you a desperately nerdy weeb? Look, I’m not much of an advertiser and literally no one is paying me for this, but I needed to share something here. Once upon a time there was a party game that was made called “Channel A”. It was a tabletop card game that functioned similar to Apple to Apples or the oft-loved (but very Crude) Cards Against Humanity and all its clones and inspirations in that all players have a hand of cards and take turns judging what gets laid down. But for Channel A the judge is now the Director of the Next Hottest Show on the Channel and they want to hear your pitch for what it should be. The Director lays down two cards to determine what genre all the creatives are going to come up with. Maybe it’s a Steampunk/Girl’s Love story. Maybe it’s Slice of Life with Giant Robots. Maybe it’s a Sentai/Spy Thriller. And you have to look at your hand and see what random words you can cobble together into the perfect title. And then, two minutes later (if you set a timer, anyway, and you might want to)  take turns offering your pitches. It’s a really fun party game even if you are an anxious mess like me who is doubly-bad at/stressed-out by  improv. Why is this important though? Why am I bringing it up? Criminally, it’s OUT OF PRINT. There are really only a couple thousand copies of in existence. And recently I’ve discovered  (and by ‘recently’ I mean TODAY 9/2/18 )it might get another chance at life. Kickstarter Projects aren’t as ubiquitous as they used to be and maybe don’t have the clout that they had before, but it might give Channel A a new life. Here is the Kickstarter. Here is an Article about the creator and how it was first made

If it sounds like fun maybe chip something in or pass the info along to other people who might also be interested. I know there aren’t a lot of neat backer goodie tiers like you might see for like a popular webcomic book print, but at least check it out. The Updates tab has a pdf for a mini print-and-play version if you want a preview/test run of the game yourself since it /is/ complete and not just a “we promise to make this game”. If you want an example of some of the weird and silly premises that you can get from this, I’ve included in the read more my own hand-written pitches from the one of the few times I have played. (I’m not saying they are quality by any stretch, a couple minutes doesn’t give you much time, but some still make me smile).

Keep reading

Seriously, I cannot over stress how fun this game it. If you play it with friends who have even an ounce of creativity you will bust a rib laughing at all the insane ideas you’ll come up with. Ideas that would make for great stories or writing projects in their own right. For example, I once won a hand with my pitch for the story of Noodle-Chan the Dragon: a break-dancing lazy bum of a dragon who gets a chance to save his human friends from the evil dragon overlords who rule humanity via the psychic powers dragons get from their horns. The catch? Noodle is a hornless dragon. He doesn't have psychic powers, he just has his friends and his sick dancing skills. Can Noodle and his dance crew win the Tyrant Tournament and see Noodle crowned as the first Dragon Tyrant who actually gives a rip about humans? So yeah, that's something that I could easily turn into it’s own story, and I came up with it in less than five minutes thanks to this game. The problem is there are very few existing copies of this game right now and unless the kickstarter succeeds there probably won't be any more. So seriously, check out the kickstater yourselves and share it with people. You will love this game.

FARMBOT GENESIS: This robot is changing farming as we know it

And the best part about this technology is that it’s open source, meaning you can build one yourself from the blueprints that are available for anyone to download. 

Check out the full video to find out more about Farmbot Genesis.

This is so neat.

THE FUTURE IS NOW, PEOPLE

Does it…is it killing the weeds by STABBING THEM?

Farmbot: GET! BACK! DOWN! IN! DIRT! YOU! NOT! FOOD!

The weed-stabby is adorable!

Open source you say? Someone program this thing to yell EXTERMINATE when it’s killing the weeds.

What is the deal with wizards?

Wizards are always in their PJ’s because when you can transmute someone’s snot into molten magma, nobody is going to be dumb enough to tell you what to wear.
