25 years ago today, Bad_CRC posted the primordial meme video "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" on Newgrounds.

In honor of this important anniversary, I downloaded the original Flash SWF file from Internet Archive, played it using Ruffle in a full-screen window, and replaced the audio with the original MP3 of "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" by The Laziest Men on Mars. So this is probably the highest fidelity encoding possible, without going back to the original forum GIFs.

See, the joke is that astronomy classifies any element besides hydrogen and helium as a metal. Oxygen? Metal. Carbon? Metal. Everything? Metal.

This is "A Gross of Goblins," literally 144 goblins. I prepped a bunch of vector blobs as the ears, heads, and eyes. I randomized them in a spreadsheet to vary the silhouettes unpredictably. Then I drew the facial features and other details in pencil at about 1.5x scale. After scanning those faces, I superimposed them back onto the heads and added some colors.

This shirt design will be published in a few weeks on my shop. Look for it here! https://danielsolis.threadless.com/

Recalculating everything for my current novel to account for every fourth light-year being longer by a factor of 366/365, except for multiples of 100 that are not multiples of 400.

Was explaining the whole self-hosted/small web movement to someone at work today, and they replied β€œOh, so you’re like one of those preppers with a bunker, but digital.”

And I will not be taking any further questions at this time.
