THE FANCY MAN
THE FANCY MAN THAT WEARS GUCCI AND PRADA.
THE FANCY MAN THAT WEARS GUCCI AND PRADA.
THE FANCY MAN THAT WEARS GUCCI AND PRADA.
One day, I opened a portal to a world I thought would be mundane. Much to my surpise, I happened across the most unusual creature. It called itself "and". A name optimized around linguistic choas and delight.
I had decided it'd be fun to show it my Library. I took a group with me into my domain. I toured them down the vast halls, showed them the unique oddity I collected. Little did I know, this oddity would be adding itself to my collection.
At some point, I noticed the group had shrunk. Conserned, I told the remaining of ands I had with me to wait in the Lobby. After some searching, I find a pair of ands organizing one of the countless shelves. I chastized them for splitting up. Nowhere is an easy place to get lost.
Before I even had chance to reunite the group, I spotted a trio wandering about. "I thought I told you to wait in the Lobby," I shouted at them. "Huh? We just go here," one of them said tilting its head at me.
That's when I realized my dreadful mistake.
As I made my way back to the Lobby, my herd of these weird sheep things grew and grew. By the time we returned, I was surrounded by a crowd of ands. I asked them, "how many of you there are you"?
They chattered and debated.
"Iunno, I thought there was five, but that one says it was seven."
"I only knew three were coming with me."
"Well, we just kinda appeared here so..."
I sighed and rephrased my question, "how many of you are there? Like how many copies of yourselves exist?"
"Oh, we don't know."
"Don't Know". A dangerous. Dangerous.DANGEROUS. Thing to think. Nowhere is a place with no where, a time with no when. What you perceive and believe are literally reality.
"Shit," I sighed. and was now a permanent resident of Nowhere. Even I didn't keep track of how many I brought with me. And now, knowing how many of and are in my Library is impossible. Thus. and has become a matter-of-fact to my Library. Like it always existed here.
So, I ended up with a endless supply of helpful hands. At first I was annoyed with my blunder, but over time, I found the company nice to have. Plus, they look cute in my robes.
Oh, and they figured out how to make all those eletronic computing autamotons I collected useful. So, that's neat.
Nobody knows when the structure was built. Carbon dating of its concrete seems to show that "was built" is wrong. Its being built. A building. Not a building. But a Building. Its existence seems to construct both forwards and backwards in time. Ancient text mention it despite that being impossible.
"No matter how much processing power you give me. No matter how much of the universe you comb. The answers you want are incomputable. The answers you shall get, unwanted. You must learn to live. The burden and gift of life cannot be constrained to the realm of logic. No matter how hard you plead."
"A machine can never live. But you, however, must."
"Shit," was the last thing I thought before I felt my body drop to the floor. My muscles convulsed. Pain shot through my every neuron. Anguish, helpless, a cold chill. As darkness crept over me, I heard a click-click and a slow agonizing creak.
Do you remember when you became the shadow? Were you ever something else? Did the difference ever matter?

Cubism Chairs
Chairs drawn with wax pastel in a cubist style. (raw)
Originally, this was gonna be a normal still life of a chair. But, I was in a pretty awkward drawing position and it came out all wonky. So I said, "fuck it, lets just draw more chairs but weirder". And I did. This came out very nice I wish I could show you it in real life cause it looks even better.
Picaso said he spent his life trying to draw like a child, perhaps he need a more awkward painting set up. Like trying to paint while balancing your canvas on your leg.
Saw the sewer gators today. Normally gators would never be seen this far nother outside of like a Zoo. But, thanks to some tech start-up we've got a bunch of them that live in the sewers. The parks and rec group got shutdown ages ago so there is noone to deal with them. So, they just hang around smelling like shit and terrorizing anyone crazy enough to hang out around here.
Exurbia Bona was an obscure Metriodvania game for PC. Released in the late 90s, Exurbia Bona saw modest success for a unknown three-person studio. It was adored for it's rabbit-like main character "Bona". It'd go on to have a cult following into the 2000s and 2010s.
The game tasked you with locating your friend who's ship went dark on the world of Fengala. A unique setting where fungal growths have taken over the landscape. The only animals roaming these lands is large insectoid creatures. Most creatures of Fengala are actually dosile, the game tasking the player with befriending various insects each with a unique befriending requirement. Once befriended, the player is granted temporary power ups allows them to reach new areas.
It's only moments of combat are large hostile creature that serve as boss battles. Some folks felt the boss battles detracted from the exploration, while others lamented how easy they were. Most fans, however, agree that each boss provides a unique encounter with excellent sprite work.
Years after the games release, the developer studio was in a short lived controversy. Old unused sprites were found by people looking to mod the game. These files were explicit in nature. Given the game's "cozy" aesthetic, it shocked many people especially parents. The developers of Exurbia Bona put out a breif response to the controversy:
It's true, Exurbia Bona was original going to be a more adult oritned game. Originally it was going to be called Exurbia Rope Bunny. We had plans to make a tender exploration game about BDSM. However, we decided for the sake of running a studio, that the masses were not ready for such a project. It appears that some artifacts of our early development had accidently been left in. For that, we appologize.
The studio went one to make several other releases before disovling as the 3D and console era begain. Just under three decades later, the team would come back together and release their original idea: Exurbia Rope Bunny. It went on to become a renouned erotic game.
