For all we talk about the strait of Hormuz, can we also bring up how neat Hormuz island is - up to and including rainbow hills and blood-red edible soil?

With the core mechanics sorted "Oh Nobles!" needed a bit more character, so I created an "old stuffy place name" generator so I could randomly name the battles, and had all the nobles make a little quip when they get defeated. #pico8

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups. Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight. #megaman #pixelart #ドット絵

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...
