This comic is currently on hiatus. In truth I just couldn't update this and UnCONventional with my schedule. As UnCONventional is set to wrap at the end of 2019 though, I intend to return to Crosarth in mid 2020. Thank you for your patience.

    T, I am kinda curious: I've noticed in the above pic and the Central Hall of the Bird the lighting. Maybe I'm reading too much but in this drama and time-period, am I to assume that, along with advances made with steam (hence-"Steam-Punk") that lighting has also advanced? I assume that the events portrayed here in CoC fit along a general era of 1890-1900 or, as in Steam Boy (the movie by Kayazawa…[sic?]) the technology has advanced much more to approximately 1926-1935 in some respects with some residual Gay '90's leftovers. I'm dating myself but what the hey? I love a good tale, (and, sir, you do a fine job at that, if'n I may say so).
    What say you?

      Technology levels in Crosarth vary, overall though I'm aiming for pseudo-Edwardian. Think, in many aspects, 1910s level technology.

      In some aspects the world is more advanced technologically, in others less – but that's where we're hitting our median,

        T, that seems reasonable. I reviewed several panels and noted that some of the lighting of that era by WWI was already headed that way. I saw of couple of bits from old silents and noted the lighting there, too, as well. Makes good sense.
        You're doing a bang-up job there, Trae. Love it! Thanks again, JIM

          Also, Steam Boy was produced by the same people who did Akira. Katsu Otomo directed and Shigeru Watanabe was the Executive Producer along with Kazumi Kawashiro & Shunji & Shinji Komori. I THOUGHT it was Studio Ghibli but my bad…..check out the movie, though. Quite good. JIM

    I hate to be that person, but since two years have gone by and no one’s noted it yet: Garrity’s speech bubble in the center frame: posess should be possess.

    (Sorry! I’m kind of a spelling bee champ of yore, so it’s become compulsion. *ahem* I love the comic, by the way.)

      Son of a… and that error is in the print version too.

      Damn it!

      Thanks for catching it. I’ll at least get the web version fixed… 😛

Right now AnimeCon.org/Chrono LC CEO Ryan Kopf (who runs Anime Midwest, Animinneapolis, Meta Con, Con Alt Delete, Yoi Con, and several other events) is suing me in the state of Illinois over articles I wrote about him on my geek news site Nerd & Tie. Please consider contributing to my legal fund so I can continue to fight this case.

  • Every Time I Say My Desk is 'Peak' Cyberpunk, I End Up Topping It ( November 30th 2020 )



    My current desk

    So every few years I've felt the need to make an update about my ever evolving workspace, and how I (more and more) seem to be cultivating an aesthetic that screams "secondary side character in a cyberpunk story who probably gets killed off in the third act." It's an aesthetic I've been working on on purpose (well, not the getting killed off bit), but every time I declare it's reached "peak cyberpunk" I end up outdoing it soon after anyway.

    Like that 2017 update? I exceeded it in mere months.

    Anyway, since I made some significant changes recently, I thought I'd post an update about my weird hole of many screens where I run The Nerd & Tie Podcast Network from. I'm not going to run through everything, but I will map out the biggest differences from 2017. The first is (obviously) the 32" display up top, which I now use to stream media on instead of the Kindle Fire (though the Kindle Fire is still used for audio bumpers on podcasts). An Apple TV runs that, though I also have a spare Switch dock hooked up sometimes. The Linux laptop is gone (I mean I still have it though), replaced by the late-2011 13" MacBook Pro which used to be my main personal machine. That MacBook Pro is tucked away, but displays on the relocated black monitor in the lower left.

    Of course, my new main personal machine is a brand spankin' new M1 Mac mini, which is controlled by the keyboard and trackpad that sit where my laptop used to be. I've expanded the physical desk (and retired the mini fridge) to support the monitor for the Mac mini. And don't worry, Linux isn't gone from my desk (and I mean I still use the laptop) -- as you will notice one last monitor on the lower right which is hooked up to a Raspberry Pi 400. This is notably used from a different chair, as that's my "goof around" computer, and would literally be a distraction if I was trying to use it while getting work done.

    It's funny, I bought two computers in 2020, both of which are ARM based. With a good chunk of my desk now on RISC architecture, I'm happy I can just dig out this image without context as I sign off for today...

    RISC is good
