Lmao how is this real, "the ambient sounds of the world were wrong, sir"

I suspect the leggings mention is a giveaway here. If you're male/male-coded that means pants in most of the world. That means work pants. My wife, on the other hand, only has a few work pants.

Also, most of my pants are jeans and those just ... don't wear out. Even my oldest jeans—and I am a forty-year-old man who still has jeans from high school!—are used for yardwork. So my collection of pants has slowly accumulated over time.

But also also... do you not have comfy pants to wear around the house or whatever? Or are those not counted here?

this does not apply if you wear exclusively leggings. Those things tear all the time you need like a million on standby

"ALL-NATURAL"

Per la XVIII edizione di Share Festival vogliamo avanzare una proposta che sappiamo essere impossibile.

Qui nell'elegante Torino - città famosa per il suo caloroso sostegno verso ogni forma d'arte - non riusciamo a fare un respiro che non sia contaminato. Non è solo l'intera atmosfera del nostro pianeta a essere inquinata dai gas serra: a causa della sua eredità industriale e della sua peculiare situazione geografica, Torino si trova in una situazione particolarmente preoccupante per via dell'onnipresente foschia dovuta alle polveri sottili che includono metalli, prodotti della combustione e persino polveri agricole. Mentre voi leggete, noi stiamo respirando tutto questo.

Eppure, allo stesso tempo, la provincia piemontese è rinomata nel mondo per la sua dedizione all'artigianalità dello Slow Food, il cibo che nasce grazie alle varietà uniche di piante e animali presenti sul fertile suolo italiano.

Nel prossimo Festival vogliamo prendere di petto questa contraddizione e affrontarla attraverso il nostro mezzo d'elezione, l'arte tecnologica. Possiamo farla diventare un momento dialettico, invece che farla restare una mera contraddizione? Riusciremo a vedere della net-art plasmata sugli uccelli, gli insetti, le api e il paesaggio naturale e locale? Potremo interagire con robot fatti di legno, sculture digitali ricavate dal marmo e opere interattive composte da corni, canne, conchiglie, bambù, paglia, ossa, fossili o - ancor meglio - materiali naturali che rischiano di scomparire e interamente appartenenti alla regione da cui proviene l'artista?

"Difendere l'ambiente" non è sufficiente: questi materiali naturali saranno in grado di infiltrarsi nella sostanza innaturale del domani e prendersi la loro infestante, tremenda vendetta?

Fate del vostro meglio, per favore. Abbiamo bisogno di una boccata d'aria fresca!

For the XVIII edition of Share Festival, we make this demand because we know it's impossible.

Here in glamorous Torino -- a city known for its cordial support of "every form of art" -- we can't take one natural, untainted breath. Not only is the planet's whole atmosphere polluted with Greenhouse gases -- here in Torino, thanks to our industrial heritage and our specific geographic climate, we're particularly badly off from an all-pervasive haze of PM2.5 micrometer pollution particles, including metals, combustion products and even agricultural dust. As you read this, we breathe that.

And yet, at the very same time, our Italian province of Piedmont is world-famous for its devotion to hand-crafted, artisanal "Slow Foods" grown from the unique plant and animal varieties of the fruitful Italian soil.

In our forthcoming Festival, we plan to tackle this contradiction headlong -- through our favorite medium of technology art. Can this become a dialectic instead of a contradiction? Can we witness net.art that is all about birds, bugs, bees and natural local landscapes? Can we interact with robots made of natural woods, sculptures digitally carved from marble, and interactive artworks composed of horn, reeds, seashells, bamboo, straw, bones, fossils, or better yet, severely imperiled natural materials entirely unique to the artist's own region in the world?

It's not enough to "defend the environment" -- how can natural materials infiltrate tomorrow's unnatural substance and take some terrible, weedy revenge? Please do your best for us. We need a breath of fresh air!

Have you played VOID 1680 AM ?

By Ken Lowery

With a deck of cards, a six-sided die and a stack of music, you will build a 12 song playlist, invent and interact with Callers to your show, and evolve their stories in a single session or ongoing play. No matter their motivations, they simply must be heard. In that way, you are very alike.

[vaguegrant]

these are my thotz as someone who has been directly exposed to 2022 and 1966 batman within less than a month: there's a sweet spot between silly/gloomy ways to write bruce wayne, there's unpleasant extremes, and then there's the real extremes that are such weird little freaks that they make perfect sense

[vaguegrant]

One thing most people don't realize about Gazebos is how bloodthirsty they used to be until the 1930s or so. It used to be that in order to appease your average small town gazebo you had to feed it 4-5 marching bands a year, or roughly 2 dozen barbershop groups. Noaways? Throw it a steely dan cover act every 6 months, maybe a bridal party every few years if you're actively trying to court its favor, and you're pretty much in the clear. And the crazy thing is nobody knows why they calmed down, or that their appetite for flesh won't return to its 19th century heights one day. It's actually an increasingly popular theory among modern Gazebo researchers that we're at the tail end of a period of dormancy and it's only a matter of time until they start howling for blood again. And if/when that does happen there's the question of whether our modern zeeb-keepers are really ready for the task of booking enough sacrificial acts to meet that increased demand. Guild policy has gotten lax in the century since the heyday of Dark Pavillionism and a lot of local keepers refuse to even look at newer research that threatened to upsettheir status quo. Kind of scary to think about

Glad it did though – it's now on the short list!

It’s finally here, the updated version of BUTT&HEAD, Jam’s hack of GUN&SLINGER, is available now through Plus One Exp’s ZINE CLUB, and digitally on Itch!

Play as two halves of a centaur (the butt & the head) on an adventure through a magical world using the playing card-based MARKED&MADE system. In this updated edition, you'll find not only the original hack of GUN&SLINGER, but delightful cover art by Sinta Posadas, and brand new adventures from 3 fantastic creators!

91st Regiment of Hoof by Kevin Nguyen

Someone back home died. Brass redacted out all the nouns though so you can’t tell who; they ticked Operational Security and Morale boxes on the reasons stamp. Learned on your last tour not to worry about that kinda thing so much, not out here on the front.

Worrying’s the luxury of the rear and gear.

Camp Marigold by Charu Patel

Chill frosty air envelops you as you push aside the overgrown jasmine on these ruins. You and your campmates found this place weeks ago, much to the camp leaders' chagrin.

They refuse to investigate the strange items you've found; identical copies of random paraphernalia around camp: Saira's tail ribbon, Aliya's blue metal whistle, Archan's viewing glasses, and a cabin banner, all of which mysteriously disappear by the next morning.

The Apprentice by Liam McCrickard

Atop a mountain covered in snowy woods, SHE awaits you. HER legs are old and gnarled. HER hooves dig into the ground as deep as the roots of the oldest pine. HER back is hunched, with a spine jutting out like the ridges of the tallest peaks. SHE is the keeper of your kind’s oldest magics, and should you prove yourself, a teacher who can impart wisdom no other speaking soul remembers.

SHE says you will be given four trials, then SHE will know.
