MY INCREDIBLE WIFES INCREDIBLE POETRY READ OR DIE!!!!!! You Really Have Such An Amazing Way With Words

MY INCREDIBLE WIFE’S INCREDIBLE POETRY READ OR DIE!!!!!! You really have such an amazing way with words baby… your poems are so beautiful…

Oh ya! I never followed up by my poetry performance in class went awesome! My teacher seemed to really like my work which was what I was most worried about. As such I wanted to drop a link to my performance element alongside the poem!

Rotting Fig

Aside: This poem was loosely inspired by Endgame. I found it to be an interesting work, I liked how experimental it was and that the ending

(Endgame as in Endgame by Samuel Beckett, not the marvel movie)

Video courtesy of my wife!! I wanted to post on here cause it’s so cute… translations are included below!

But I don’t know a lick of Japanese, so keep in mind I yoinked these off of Google Translate. Definitely not completely accurate, but still nice to have an idea of what they're saying.

Zenya: "Hey, can I touch your tail?"

Asato: "...Ah."

Zenya: "Wow! It's so fluffy!"

Clear: "Really? Can I touch it too?"

Asato: "I don't mind."

Clear: "Well then... excuse me."

Clear: "Wow, it's so fluffy!"

Asato: "Is that really something to be happy about?"

Clear: "Yes!"

I love this interaction so much 😭 it reminds me a lot of the scene in Re:connect where Clear is fluffing up Ren... he even says "Yes!" the same way too. It's a little different though because this time he's harassing a whole grown ass man 😭

My computer battery is dying and keeps randomly shutting off in the middle of drawing, so until I get it replaced, you know what that means… it’s time to go back to the original drawing tablet. Paper

ME AND WIFE

together forever :)

what if we were little bugs holding hands encased in amber forever and ever :))))

prints available here :p

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VINCENT VALENTINE

The weirdness of all the Maxis creations is so fascinating to me… thank you so much for this I love more Spore knowledge

interestingly enough you can sometimes tell the maxis creations used some kind of editor trick to be made. this is not at all comprehensive and is just some instances i found

-

some circular ga buildings, such as Base Warnstripe, are just positioned around the circumference of the building editor dais

another example is Silo Wall Rim

-

Toomer's back lumps are made out of just a bunch of limb segments

here they all are moved apart. seems like theyre using the limb segment at the base of thighstrider and qopazcoatl and that

-

the Uranium Gun on Armored Lifter seems embedded deep inside of it, alongside the Ice Cubeds (detail part) around the tower thing

but theyre all just attached to a set of Cubbys (body part) hidden inside of the tower thing. one of them also holds the Plasma Duct that the gun visually comes out from

-

the grox spaceship has a some interesting kind of part arrangements. like it uses stretched The Lozengators rotated diagonally. but for the most part its actually rather straightforward

something more interesting is going on in Chronathaumic Hornet, which uses orbeds overlaid with other orbeds

the Lander Capsule at the front also seems to be rotated to add more spokes(?) to the front

and the bases of the big Crazaphone tubes are sneakly hidden by one of the squished orbeds, so you can barely see them

interestingly or funnily enough the base is just a grey and seems like it wasnt colored

though i color picked it and it uses the solid shiny paint and is also slightly darker than even the darker right grey on the colorpicker. so it looks more like they picked this deliberately. anyway this ufo actually does a lot of interesting things wow

-

back to buildings, you can also tell something like Chains was made by moving the detail parts with ctrl and shift, as theyre not attached to any other part, and will instantly sell themselves if you try to just click on them (without moving them onto some other part)

shift was also used to move these parts inside of the building block part

then theres some absurd buildings, like Stone Skull, which is largely composed out of building blocks, which is a body part and thus has limited rotation

you CAN rotate them like that in the vanilla game, but that requires placing them on connectors and then rotating those, and then moving the body parts afterwards with ctrl and shift can be kind of awkward at times

its also a LOT of parts to do this with. did maxis make the stone skull in a version of the building editor that had more rotation on these parts?
