I have a slightly alarming problem in that my laptop may or may not be beginning its death throes. I've had to buy a usb hub because my integrated ports are dead? Eh? So uh. Reminder that you can help support a queer, chronically ill, Mexican American writer and artist in a couple ways:

I bought it believing it was basically going to be stripped or useless, and intending to put a more modern computer inside, but there's actually a lot of solid old parts in here. I might be able to get this running again. (And even if the HDD doesn't work, it's IDE, so it's easy enough to replace.)

Finally cracked open the Power Mac G4 I got from surplus for $1. It's either a 3,1 or a 3,3. I can't tell the processor speed, but it's got

* its original CD and Zip drives
* 128MB PC100 RAM (one stick, 16 DIMMs)
* AGP video (to VGA out)
* a serial port and a SCSI port on expansion cards
* two FireWire ports
* two USB ports
* ethernet
* power out (so you don't need a second outlet for the monitor!)
* headphone out and mic in

and, despite the label, a 10GB hard drive.

Neat!

@OchotonidKnight The second person is teasing the first for assuming that Scorsese just ripped off the original movie instead of The Departed being a deliberate remake with the permission and help of the creators.

"Don't watch The Departed. Watch Infernal Affairs (80s or 90s Hong Kong movie) instead. It's the same film, Scorcese shamelessly stole everything from it. Literally everything. Much in the way A Fistful of Dollars is an unauthorised remake of Yojimbo."

"Scorsese didn't just stop there, the bastard went on to shamelessly credit the writers of Infernal Affairs in his movie that was co-produced with the company that made the original."

Friends, please gaze upon this delightful rendition of Chroma, a kobold artificer from Season 3 of our #PackTactics #DnD campaign. (Marked sensitive for eye contact and too much adorableness, but then again ... kobold.)

This is a commission created by @scoots. See their pinned toots for info on how they can be commissioned to draw cool pictures for you, too!
