To find these words at journey’s end fills me with joy

I’m absolutely over the moon. The Meteion cosplay we’ve been toiling on for months won Best in Show at CVG’s masquerade.

The construction of this cosplay was crazy. It uses so many different techniques - gathers, pleats, 2 types of embroidery, hidden hooks, mitered corners, magnets, snaps, latex leggings, Velcro, EVA foam, dry brushing, sculpting, the list goes on. To have it all pay off to the highest degree possible is breathtaking. I can’t even begin to communicate how crazy this costume is and how satisfying it was to have that recognized.

We weren’t even able to show the judges every little detail with how much there is that goes into making this costume tick. For example, it’s all based around flexibility - almost everything, even the armor bigs, is able to bend without ruining the paint job or breaking. Even the wings (which were made of 270 individually hand cut and scored feathers of foam) can get knocked on things without taking damage - magnets hidden beneath the wig keep them in place while keeping them loose enough to get bumped without any issue.

I can post the build book if people are interested, and I’ll also have more photos to come. I just need to rest awhile before doing anything else @_@

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

I reblogged this like 9 times kinda jokingly, but software should be able to run on older and less powerful hardware, and consume less power on newer hardware. Like, this is a real problem imo

I completely agree with this but I do need you to understand that the image above is 32 times the size of the lunar mission’s memory

You know that trope where the author is like the Small Appalachian Town Church is actually worshipping something Far More Ancient Than Christ? The implication being that Christ isn’t real but this old Eldritch thing is real.

Like, who cares if some little holler town has a Real God. The Christians ran Europe for like a thousand years. I feel like your Eldritch Horror has to be scarier than the idea of the Borgias.

I feel a similar thing for Illuminati stories. You cannot invent a Secret Shadowy Group of Puppet Masters that is actually scarier than how capitalism actually works for real.

i think even worse is how so much of american’s christian faiths are rotten at the center because god isn’t in there anymore.

like, the issue as i see it isn’t ‘our god is actually real and demands bloody sacrifice’, for a lot of religious trauma and dysfunction in america, it’s 'we built a religion that runs on blood instead of god.’

You hide this in the tags?
