Chika doing what she does best! And that's looking beautiful no matter what she is doing! And she's so talented, her rap game is unmatched. She's such a talented musician in general, not just limited to piano! Chika is a true prodigy :ChikaSmile:
The artist seems to have deleted a lot of their older works, but here is their website: https://hello.bearibop.com/
Even though I don't find the actual ranks interesting, I find country rankings interesting because the methodology tells you what the ranker values.
E.g., the founder of Kagi created a ranking that uses 16 variables, two of which are "Medals/Capita" and "Medals/GDP". 1/8th of the ranking being based on Olympic medals, but not absolute performance, implies that it's extremely important for a country to devote a large fraction of its resources towards training people up in Olympic sports.
@tshirtman No large country does decent on Medals/GDP. It's very difficult to sustain linear growth in medals as a country gets larger. The variance in number of medals you can win is just totally dominated by the variance in GDP. The top ranking large country in Medals/GDP is Russia, at #32
On the medals metrics in particular, I would guess that getting raw medals or weighted medals is much easier, but the author didn't like how highly that ranked the U.S. and other economic powerhouses
@chestas But surely the point is deciding who goes last? It just feels so fun and harmlessly vindictive!
I don’t know your personal beliefs, but if I were in Bass then Sladden would surely be a contender for #32.
Yep! Clearly I’m in the minority thinking it’s distasteful to take innocent, bright, goofy looking creatures that resemble the childhood characters most of us grew up with and literally fucking slaughtering them with a butcher knife for soup. I’d rather shoot unnamed terrorist #32 in his terrorizing face. Correct.
If the game wasn’t also low effort slop that’s borderline an asset flip with how many designs they’ve stolen, I’d probably tolerate it more but I’m awestruck so many people are eating this trash up and celebrating it.
Josh Gibson clubbed round-trippers #31 and #32 in his team's 76th game. Ford Smith held the high-flying Phils to 6 hits. St. Louis's 3rd straight win from Philly.
My fellow Atelier writer @deuspoeticus took a deep dive and wrote an article about it that I recommend you to read. Here, I want to show my favourite outputs from a project that I feel didn't get the attention it deserves.
Despite the palette's name, I see open skies and soft, billowing clouds in this mint. The red branches at the corner of the image that—in a maritime context—might be seen as corals rather appear as threatening thorn bushes that oppose the openness of the composition, adding a special tension that takes "Bravata" to face.

So far today Home Depot has informed me that my order is on time once, and then informed me that it's running late three times in a row, 9 minutes, 11 minutes, and 37 minutes after texting me to tell me it is on time.
