So.. there is this gargoyle abandoned in 1971 and it remembers what the universe was like before the great time war and.. anyway because it's been stone the whole time nothing has affected its memories...

It could be any gargoyle like but one the BBC have the rights for and perhaps has made a previous appearance would be nice fan service...

@HauntedOwlbear@eldritch.cafe Here for example, the Lion has realised St Jerome is talking shit about Emacs again.

@HauntedOwlbear@eldritch.cafe What's odd to me is that people seem to have forgotten you can alter pictures really very quickly to make them cartoonish, or to fit the concept. I mean take St Jerome there. Pair of googly eyes and he just looks like he's stunned by something because he's read the manual for Inkscape.
that takes six, maybe eight seconds. Whereas diffusion art.. they're just going click gen again and again till they go "ack, that'll do"

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Marcus Aurelius only said that because people kept asking him what flavour of linux he recommended for Stoics.

I wonder if anyone would go for a Bok was the Melkur all along reference. Or is the "Master was inside me for years" remark far too Gargoyle porn.

So to bridge in nu-Who, the gargoyle uses the light from a Pandorica box.. to reboot...
Well it's a WIP

@strangequark@dice.camp The number of places salivating about dynamic pricing is really quite scary. So many supermarkets are thrilled with the idea of it. Every time I'm in ASDA recently they are pushing "why don't you use your phone to shop" while making noises like a mantis clicking.
The Village of Brill. From a map by G Spencer Hoffman.
I think this is a lovely mapping style, which while popular in the 1920s, somehow looks like it would fit almost any fantasy RPG nearly perfectly as a GM map or player facing one. It's just a lovely style.

@Faintdreams@dice.camp I think tools are a reward loop of creativity. You can in seeing them in your hand visualise almost an entire lifepath of novelty and invention. It's the same seductive allure that is "interesting paperstock" and "unique ink"
It just siren calls. With possibility.
Then after half an hour your hand aches and someone wants you to take the bins out, and the illusions shatter.

Any RPG version of Classic Dr Who.
I mean.. most of it is literally set in a Quarry.

One of the problems I have with typography is in a really epic unicode typeface the number of alternatives and ligatures etc is so immense you end up holding down the alternate option and looking at the options for ages. For every single letter.

@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social There's a line in Ireland "I am the king of from here to that fence" which really indicates the hyperlocality of myths and legends.
Replying to
@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social There are so many little different greek island myths as well, that are completely different from the ones we know, because the homeric achaen monomyth just smothers everything. The bit you see that in is lots of character in Hades were heroes of smaller myth cycles. Which always reminded me of the Christian assimilation of "oh your pagan deity is in hell"
Replying to
@TarkabarkaHolgy@ohai.social You of course know this much better than me, but I am always struck with how "the classics" just differ so much from the folk myths and religions they are based on.
Hammer put their 4K remastered version of Captain Kronos, Vampire Killer up on youtube for free.
Which is quite nice of them. I wonder would they peertube it.

@strangequark@dice.camp That will be "the lying" kicking in there then early.
It's probably some very specific definition of dynamic pricing like.. "We don't vary the price because it always goes up, so that isn't varying it's just increasing"

That's got a deep Monkey Paw horror story aspect of us desiccated and still alive watching the sun go down on the baked desert of a cinder-earth, the sun a baleful red and the only other vestige of humanity left a robotic dog head version of Sam Altman barking "three cigarette lighters for a pound"

@hgrsd@hachyderm.io The antidote to this overused plot arc is to read Jon Klassen books for children. I want my hat back in particular is a good lesson in "Getting your hat back" and no one finding the bodies.

I get involuntarily hypersensitive to smells when I hear certain pitches and noises, but I suspect that's an attenuation issue with cognitive processing because of going hard of hearing.
