You are Wish. Your purpose is rend the structure of this reality apart.

My freshman indie dev project, Husker, is out and free to play on itch right now! Inspired by surreal explortion projects such as Yume Nikki and Garn47, Husker is a game about traversing deeper and deeper down surreal rabbit holes of a hollow univers.

Year 1-5 of Skyrim being out: WOOOOOOOOW!!! Look at this sick war hammer Malacath gave me! This is so awesome, I-- YOOOOOOOO!!!! THAT DRAGON IS FIGHTING A GIANT, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Year 5-10 of Skyrim being out: I am roleplaying a deeply religious Dunmer. I will ONLY use the Ebony Mail, the Ebony Blade, and Azura's Star. I will follow their teachings, and only their teachings. The only times I don't follow their teachings is if I am literally forced on another path. I will shun and destroy any deity that is not Maphala, Boethia, or Azura. The Good Three are my light and my way.

Year 10+ of Skyrim being out: Hello Generic NPC. I know things about you. So many things. All of the things. I know where you sleep. I know what factions you're a part of. I have the sound of your foot steps memorized, I speak your words before you do. I desire for you, Generic NPC. Oh, not for anything as complex or personal as lust, Generic NPC. Nor hate. Nor is there any judgment here, Generic NPC. My reasons are more ancient, more sinister and, yes, more benevolent than anything you know too. I will follow you home, Generic NPC. I will watch you sleep, Generic NPC. I will cook only the meals you consume, Generic NPC. I will become you, Generic NPC. I will--

Yesterday a friend of mine asked if card games are my favorite type of game.

I almost said yes, but then I thought:

Cards aren't really a genre of game. Instesd, they're a game component that opens up a multitude of different ways to structure a game. 7 Wonders, Pokemon TCG, and Poker all use cards in radically different games. You can't just label all of them in the same category based on their shared medium; that'd be like saying you like all books or all video games with health bars.

But I said yes anyway, because I do in fact love all 3 of the aforementioned games AND I just really like the fact that cards are self-contained "rule boxes". Very modular. Very demure.

Cards are an S tier game component. Perhaps even the best game component. Is there any game component, physical or otherwise, that even comes close to the versatility and usefulness of cards?

And don't say dice, they're just number generators. Cards can do that too. No, I don't care if they're pretty math rocks, cards are still better. Stay mad.

AAAAAND here we go, get ready THIS SATURDAY! I'm so sorry this took so long but forward moving deadlines on my side made my schedule exceptionally busy!

There are four types of fish scales!

Cycloid scales are thin, overlap, and flexible. They're found on primitive teleosts (like minnows and carp).

Ctenoid scales have small, backwards pointed scales (known as cterns) make the fish more hydrodynamic and faster. They're found on Advanced Ctenoids (like perch and sunfish).

Ganoid scales are thick, diamond-shaped, and mostly non-overlapping. They're found on Chondrostei (like sturgeons and paddlefish).

Placoid scales are spikey and tooth-like with nerves. These are found on Chondrichthyes (like sharks and rays).
