Thanks, I have an appointment I can't miss today.

I'll crosspost some of my guides there!

I'm enjoying my Thursday morning. Nice and cool, watching an MTG video, eating an apple.

Then the chart is just wrong (I know which book it's in and it is intended to apply to DnD).

If it applies to DnD's cosmology, than it has to mean with viable offspring, because half-dwarves canonically exist in the Darksun setting and they're called Muls.

Stairs provide a more difficult problem, because you can't just size them to the largest possible resident, nor the smallest. You could create steps with multiple sizes side-by-side, but that requires more space; I suspect ramps would be far more common than they are in our world as a "one-size-fits-all" solution. Can you imagine a world where everyone expects a ramp up to the second floor of their home before they expect stairs?

The whole field of ergonomics would be a lot more interesting. The diversity of body shapes means you don't just have to account for larger bands of possible dimensions, you may need to account for entirely different anatomy. These would follow through clothing, furniture, construction, accessibility laws, etc. There wouldn't be just one new shape that's different to ours, there'd be dozens to account for.

Touching on just construction for a moment, there's a concept in at least some countries of what can be advertised as livable space, the most clear example being minimum ceiling heights. With a broader array of body shapes, lawmakers have to make a decision between allowing residential buildings to be advertised with a limited category of occupancy (necessitating the creation of several classes of living space with different requirements) or requiring every residential space to be built to at least physically fit every potential resident, no matter who it's advertised to. Commercial and industrial spaces obviously would all have to fall into that latter category anyway.

So the thing with virtues is there's never been any agreement on them in christian literature, unlike the sins which everyone knows. If you look at different sources, you'll find different virtues. With that out of the way, my favourite virtue is kindness and my favourite sin is lust, because I'm basic.

Indents should exclusively be a single tab per indent, not any number of spaces, and width should be handled by the IDE renderer, configurably, rather than baked into the code.

Imagine my life every time I see one of the weekday memes timed to U.S. time.

One more reason to just sit, tbh.

I'm going to copy one of my old comments here, so some of the things I'm calling recent here are no longer recent:

I'll start at the beginning. The first comic I was introduced to (by a friend in highschool) was Bob and George, a sprite comic using megaman sprites and characters. It was alright, but not spectacular. Next is Dominic Deegan, a webcomic about a seer. I recommend it, though it's over now. The author is of that is currently doing Star Power, which is something completely different but seems pretty good for now. Moving on from chronological order, here's a recommendation list, just the good stuff. I'm leaving out comics that were cancelled or appear to be dead before reaching a satisfying conclusion, though some of them are good too. In addition, there are some that appear to have disappeared off the internet and I have little memory of. Those will not be listed. In no particular order:

  • Miracle of Science. Sci-Fi Drama. Concluded.
  • Awkward Zombie. Non-sequential videogame humour.
  • Cassiopeia Quinn. Humorous Sci-Fi Adventure.
  • Cucumber Quest. Lighthearted Fantasy Adventure.
  • Curtailed. Furry Newspaper-styled Humour.
  • Ozy and Millie. Furry Slice-of-Life Wholesomeness.
  • Freefall. Oft-Humourous Sci-Fi... Drama? The kind of Sci-Fi that really explores the meaning and consequences of certain kinds of tech (especially A.I.) from an interesting angle. Easily the oldest webcomic on this list, both in terms of its own age and how long I've been following it. It's also one of the longest-running webcomics on the 'net, so you've got a binge waiting for you.
  • Out-of-Placers. This one's been going slow. Fantasy Drama of some kind that's really giving you time to explore this world it's been building.
  • Damsels Don't Wear Glasses. Fantasy Something. Again, this one's been going slow.
  • Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures (Primary Site, Katbox). A Furry Drama Adventure. Starts off genuinely bad. Try to read the first few pages to get introduced to the characters, but if you need to, skip to page 64 to get to the start of the first real story arc, which is also around when the art at least starts improving somewhat.
  • Project Future. This is, for all intents and purposes, a collection of fanfics for DMFA (above). If you liked that, you might want to read this next.
  • Daughter of the Lillies. Fantasy Adventures, still in its early chapters.
  • El Goonish Shive. Humourous Transformation Drama. Modern-Day Fantasy.
  • Eldritch. Werewolf Drama. Can't remember much about it, but I think it was good. Finished.
  • Faulty Logic. Humourous furry webcomic about... something?I can't really remember. Concluded.
  • Girl Genius. Dramatic Fantasy Adventure about mad scientists, in a Europe ruled by mad scientists.
  • Go Get A Roomie!. Interpersonal Drama featuring queer folk.
  • Grrl Power. An interesting take on Superheros.
  • Gunnerkrigg Court. Dramatic Paranormal Highschool Adventure featuring gods and myths.
  • Housepets!. Furry Drama/Slice-of-Live/Adventure (by turns). Also: Duh.
  • How to Be A Werewolf. Modern Fantasy Drama. Featuring fluffy wolvos.
  • KiLA iLO. Sci-Fi Drama. Aliens visiting earth searching for something hidden there. Concluded.
  • Prequel. Fantasy (specifically TES) Adventure. Bends the format a lot, might be an acquired taste.
  • Radioactive Panda. Concluded. I can't remember what it was about, but I can remember it left me wanting more from the author, which is the sole reason for this recommendation.
  • Schlock Mercenary. Corny Sci-Fi Adventure. Another long-runner, has updated very close to every day for 18 years, prepare for a binge.
  • Selkie. Merperson gets adopted. Drama ensues.
  • Sue and Kathryn. Paranormal Humorous Adventure featuring a zombie and a wraith. By the same author as Selkie, it appears as a fictional kids' show in that universe.
  • Skin Deep. Paranormal Drama/Adventure featuring a secret society of shapeshifting creatures.
  • Slightly Damned. Furry Fantasy Adventure. Gets pretty dark.
  • Snarlbear. Alice-in-Wonderland-style fantasy adventure. Again, gets pretty dark. Concluded.
  • The Monster Under the Bed. Paranormal Romance(?) Drama. Relatively early stages.
  • Strays Online. Dramatic Fantasy Werewolves. Concluded.
  • TwoKinds. Furry Fantasy Adventure.
  • Widdershins. Fantasy Adventure.
  • Wilde Life. Sinister Paranormal Drama.
  • xkcd. I'm not sure how to describe this one. It's something different every week, but it's geeky and good.
