it's probably in there but connare has the best quote about it
“If you love comic sans, you don’t know much about typography. If you hate it, you really don’t know much about typography, either, and you should get another hobby.”
i gave a design ethics lecture one time and the topic was so heavy that i had a little "why comic sans is actually great" section at the end just for levity- and the history of the program that it was designed for (and never launched with because the developers hard coded everything to be sized for times new roman which is wild) is super fascinating and it was honestly an accessibility milestone way before digital design considered that AT ALL. There's a reason it was a smash hit when it launched with windows movie maker.

Oh i don't seriously hate on Comic Sans anymore since I heard it's actually easier for dyslexics to read. That might be apocryphal, but whatever, it's nice to hear about things that help people.

Hot damn
Unless I'm mistaken (always possible) THE DEVIL HAS VISITED MY HOME THIS DAY
And the devil must know how much I LOVE Taschen because this giant heavy box showed up at my door and inside...
HOT DAMN!
This is sooo coool, y'all. I love art books and I love architecture and design, especially a lot of contemporary/20th century Asian design. This book is amazing and sooo gorgeous and incredibly high quality (Taschen, man).
I even know where I'm going to shelve it:
But not yet, obviously.
Thank you so much, mystery person! There was no note and no receipt so the devil's identity is still a SpooOOOky mystery!

Oh man Tonkka it is a really amazing book. It's pretty much the most comprehensive photo and first-hand interview documentary you can find of life in Kowloon Walled City before it was torn down. This is the revised/updated version. It had been on my wishlist for like over 15 years and kept going out of print and then my favourite bookstore in Hong Kong just happened to have it on the shelf (RIP Bleak House Books). I think it's out of print again unfortunately but yeah.
Lost Salient on

Whoooops turns out the unlabeled Amazon box with the amazing book inside was actually from my dad! I was mad impressed with my Satan's radar focus on my interests for a few hours there but in hindsight that makes sense. It's probably revenge for the year I bought him the extremely heavy Atlas of Brutalist Architecture and made him carry it home in his luggage from Bali.

I guess some forewarning to my giftee? I am dangerously close to buying this flamingo in sunglasses drinking a mug of beer for you. I don't know how to attach photos on my phone, though.

I don’t know how it is on other phone but on iPhone it’s:
- click the little picture icon (2 to the right of the smiley face) above the text box
- Click the folder beside Choose File
- Click Photo Library
- select the picture
- At the bottom of the screen, click “Show Selected (1)”
- In the lower right, click Actual Size
- Choose a lower resolution
- In the upper right, click Done
- In the upper right, click Add
If the picture you’re posting is lower resolution you can skip the Actual Size steps, but most pictures your phone takes will probably exceed the size limit by default, so that’s why you have to choose a lower resolution
I suppose Ninja and I will be making some tasty meals soon.
I remember wanting it last year and then forgetting to put it on my Amazon wish list, so I did after Ninja got it earlier. Thanks, Santa!
They also left a theme, but no name. :question: :tell_me_more:
Koopah, each of your gifts shall arrive with a taste of music that I hope you might like. Enjoy!
The D&D cookbook is pretty great! The theming is on point, and my group did a few recipes from it at our first in-person game in two years. The candied bacon recipe and the drinks were all excellent.
The candied bacon over good vanilla ice cream is fucking amazing. A friend was brave enough to cover theirs in chocolate sauce, they said it made it even better. I wasn't brave enough to try it.
I can has cheezburger, yes?

SANTEE!
I don't know if you are home but you may have a package waiting for you at your house!
Man folks, I gotta tell you. I've had a hell of a week. Seems like nothing went right at work, relationships going up in smoke, just stress stress stress.
BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS BECAUSE I GOT A PACKAGE FROM SATAN!!!!!
A box! A heavy box! But what is in this box?!
Thank you @Halfazedninja ! I cannot wait to see what's in store for me.
I've been getting into mead more of late. This is perfect!
You can never have too many cocktail books. This makes an excellent addition to my home bar.
Yays! Binging with Babish is one of my favorite YT series. I can't wait to give a few of these a try.
Awesome! 3 movies I will never not enjoy.
Thank you so much @Halfazedninja! Your satanic blessings couldn't have come at a better time.

I have received a gift and an ominous portent from @jclast !
Thumper has been on my wishlist for a while but I never pulled the trigger on buying it myself. As a full-on sucker for rhythm games, and this game having "Thumper is rhythm violence" as the opening statement on its steam page, I look forward to it!
I, uh, I may have been visited? I genuinely don't know. My garden has a history of gnomes just showing up, and I have a list of usual suspects, but they're all claiming to know nothing of this particular unicorn killing gnomes, so if this was you Santa, then thank you for the Unicorn! It just showed up in the garden today, so I was very confused.

Oh, it's a gift! Neat!
Holy shit, HAIL SATAN. The first 80 pages or so are all about typography. This is going to be fun.

i gave a design ethics lecture one time and the topic was so heavy that i had a little "why comic sans is actually great" section at the end just for levity- and the history of the program that it was designed for (and never launched with because the developers hard coded everything to be sized for times new roman which is wild) is super fascinating and it was honestly an accessibility milestone way before digital design considered that AT ALL. There's a reason it was a smash hit when it launched with windows movie maker.

Oooh I know about Thumper from a Jacob Geller video. It looks dope as heck.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
