not knowing this is a band makes this the funniest sentence of all time

[effervescent-fool]

ive never been able to take "climb him like a tree" as a sexual innuendo seriously because i picture climbing a tree in my mind and then i picture a tall man in my mind and when i put those two things together im not seeing anything sexual. im seeing like. circus tricks.

This piece has been rotting in my art folder for months now and I finally figured out how I Wanted to color/render Dinraal.

I want to make a piece for each of the dragons, so consider this part 1 of the set.

Played a really good game of 3D Time Travel Space Chess

So I played (and lost) a game of 3D Time Travel Space Chess against a new player. I haven't played a whole lot of multiverse time travel variants and it is exactly as sharp as i remember it being.

The base variant, space chess, is certainly and interesting board layout to say the least. I might have some weird rules going on as far as the interpretation goes but its just kind of strange. Anyway, what is space chess? its a 3D 5x5x5 board variant of chess

As pictured above rooks can move horiztonally, forward / backwards, and vertically, making this a 3D variant. Pawn motion is a little interesting, and begins the wonkiness of my particular rule convention. Basically the enemy's pieces are placed the the forward-up corner, so either of those directions can be considered a kind of "forward" that pawns are able to move along normally. So far nothing strange

However in my variant I've prohibited from capturing forward-up, because that would be moving forward twice. Granted, the forwards chosen are *different* forward directions, but you still chose two forward directions to travel along. It just feels a little wrong with this visual representation. Rearranging the boards to be flat would make it feel much less strange though, so mathematically it makes perfect sense, even if visually it doesn't.

Here's an example of proper pawn capture

This variant also introduces unicorns, which move along triagonals (choosing three directions to travel in at once)

However a little quirk of space chess is that there are only two unicorns, and i believe (don't quote me) they are confined to travel within one of 3 sets of squares that are triagonal from each other, which we often just refer to as triagonals. Basically like one bishop is confined to 1 of 2 colors, unicorns are confined to 1 of 3 'colors'

Here's one of said triagonal sets. Bascially if you were to shift it one to the side, the would still be an empty space, shifted one to the side plus forward. So two unicorns means there's a third triagonal set that neither unicorn can ever cover. Not that i'm one to judge, i think i set all 4 of my dragons on 2 of the 4 quadragonals in my 5D variant. But I digress.

Well anyway I did get to use this cool move to my advantage in which the unicorn traveled along the multiverse-time-down diagonal from a timeline that was a turn ahead in the future

Which allowed me to get a unicorn in a relatively powerful position for a unicorn to be in, threatening to be able to time travel attack along x-z-time diagonals to threaten a king in the past, but it requires a lot of blunders on the opponents side. All in all my opponent played extremely defensively, and i think only ever opened up a line to a time travel attack in that square on the other timeline.

In the end I exposed an x-time time travel attack soft-mating my king two turns in the past with T8+0 b e3c e5e then followed with a trivial check through T8+1 k a3c c3d preventing me from using a terminator's gambit despite me having time travel advantage.

Overall a very fun game. Was over very suddenly and unexpectedly, but if you're familiar with multiverse time travel chess that's totally normal. It makes the game very sharp.

Sheev's Plan:

get elected to senate for naboo

start new sith order

work republic and separatists against each other. recruit evil guy to lead separatists.

(this jedi kid is wicked strong!)

get jedi in deep with clone army. (save some clone jars for later? just in case...)

PIVOT: Make the jedi kid evil. dont need separatist guy anymore. got a new evil guy.

make my evil guy kill his jedi pals when they come to arrest me. ill finish em off with my lightning attack

(fucking guy used his sword to bounce my lightning back at me! honestly my fault. takes a minute for the lightning to wind down and he got my ass on the bounce. fair play. now i look like a leather couch but its fine. can blame jedi for THAT too)

Use the clones to kill the jedi, have my evil guy kill the seperatists, keep the army, spin into empire

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

chill as emperor for a while. humiliate Vader for a laugh. make death star.

Endgame achieved.

(Vader's kid blows up my death star)

PIVOT: get new young apprentice by turning him evil once he kills his dad, or maybe make Vader cooler by making him kill his gay son. either way its a win-win for me.

(thrown down hole and killed.)

PIVOT: good thing i kept those clone jars!! make new clone body to inhabit. takes time to get right. need something to do until then

build enormous fleet of big spaceships, each with their own super death star laser. keep em on the down low... why use em? they lose half the value as soon as you fly them off the lot

(clone son betrays me but its no biggie. its fine. have loads of clones at this point. whats one clone son?)

create a DECOY fascist empire. put one of my weirder clones in charge. Not giving them any of my ships though. can build his own shit. dont look at me. get a bank loan

let failed clone recruit vaders grandson (will explain why later) let those guys take over the galaxy with a different super death star. assume they built this one themselves. very cute!

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

(only via proxy tho. not done yet)

let(??) vaders grandson ("ben"?? ok) usurp failed clone and rule galaxy. wants to “kill the past” but whatever. can still make this work. NEED to keep this kid in the mix (will make sense when we get there)

drop the big news. Im not dead! Fortnite. awesome moment.

lead kylo ren to my base using complex scavenger hunt. puzzle knife.

tell him he’s always actually worked for me. big reveal. big moment. He's my lackey now. a little traitorous and unreliable, but this will pay off later trust me

use death star ships to take over galaxy even more

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

(awesome... but not enough. something missing)

let kylo ren lead clone granddaughter to home base using complex scavenger hunt. Puzzle Knife cool enough idea to do twice i think

taunt granddaughter into killing me so i can possess her un-janked body. All part of my grand scheme...

Endgame achieved. (??)

(kylo ren betrays me)

PIVOT: Possession stupid plan anyway. Instead, use ben and reys Horny Essence to make my nasty old body normal again.

throw ben in hole (grandson purpose revealed)

destroy resistance with lightning powers. shooting spaceships down with magic lightning basically a solved problem at this point.

GALAXY NOW UNDER MY CONTROL

kill the granddaughter actually. dont need her anymore. lightning powers classic for a reason.

ive got this thing in the bag as long as she doesn't bounce the lightning back at me off her fucking laser sword.

Endgame achieved.

The person who composed the Dr Who theme tune back in 1963, Ron Grainer, didn’t actually arrange it - that was mostly the work of Delia Derbyshire and some other BBC people.

I’m bringing this up because, in 1980, Grainer finally did produce an arrangement of the Dr Who theme, as he had imagined it, and, well, you will not expect what you’re about to hear

[yaldabaothadeez]

Four years later, I’m still not over this.

Someone with more video editing skill/patience than me please make the 70s cop show opening (with freeze frames on each major actor, you know the type) that this so badly wants to be.

could u imagine if anglo daoist scholarship was anywhere near the scale of bible scholarship. it's so overwhelming to me by contrast but ultimately beneficial in the sense that u have small militias of bible boys scraping the archives and the archaeological sites for any scrap of data even tangentially relevant to the field & immediately working on translation/interpretation/dissemination. they got people paying millions -- maybe even billions -- of real life dollars to produce working translations of aramaic transliterations in hieratic script meanwhile we have maybe less than 10% of the literal daoist canon translated. but all of this will change when i become god empress of the world
