Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

I've been experiencing The Yearning™ for Alton Towers and wanted to lift my spirits by drawing my persona performing in the Alton Towers Firework Spectacular! The green staff there is a nod to Sir Algenon's light-up conductor's wand that he used in the 2015 Fireworks :)

Drawing this also made me wanna learn sickass staff tricks

Thank you again for all of your suggestions! The use of the form made putting the list together much quicker and easier! Looks like this year’s unintentional theme is “space”. 😄

Who is Dr. Haldane (from the Nemesis queue videos)?

So I've been thinking about Dr. Haldane nonstop all week so here's a quick explanation of who he is!

Dr. Haldane appears in the two queueline videos in the main queue of Nemesis Reborn. He is a genome scientist working for Phalanx, and the grandson of Professor Haldane, the professor of folklore and mythology from the Nemesis comic [1][2].

Professor Haldane (aka Haldane senior [3]) went missing after the news reporter, Heather Carver, brought the talisman to his office [1][2] – presumably in 1994. Dr Haldane (aka Haldane junior [3]) has since always wondered about the disappearance of his grandfather, and decided to become a scientist in order to infiltrate Phalanx to find out exactly what happened [1].

As a Phalanx genome scientist, he and others have been manipulating Nemesis’ DNA, resulting in her becoming stronger, faster, hungrier, and more dangerous[1][4]. Through his work, he has discovered that containment measures are failing, and that Phalanx plans to use Nemesis (and baby Nemeses) for their own military needs [1][4], which, coupled with the disappearance of his grandfather, have led to his distrust of Phalanx.

Dr. Haldane is the whistleblower! All the updates on Nemesis and Phalanx we have received via email since last year are from Haldane Jr himself [3]. This was confirmed by Truth Seekers on site. They also referred to Haldane Jr as “the original Seek The Truther”, in the sense that without the intel he gained and sent out, the Seek the Truth movement would never have become what it currently is.

Nemesis Reborn: Part 1-3

This action scene was originally meant to be a lot shorter, but based on reader feedback I extended it and honestly I think it makes it a lot stronger!

Also introducing; Ripsaw!! He's been under wraps for MONTHS and I'm SO EXCITED to finally show them off!!
