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.

    (1st panel) “I already did that!”
    (2nd panel) “They would probably understand more than one language, if you are not an uneducated hillbilly country girl.”

    Ya know, when you think about it, really, the one who’s uncivilized and uneducated is the Pavanussian Azure, not the XO.
    Look: if a bunch of us are at a table & all of us can speak Spanish save a guest who mayn’t have much knowledge of the lingo, it would be the uttermost in rudeness & incivility to continue speaking Spanish while the non-Spanish guest sits uncomfortably.
    So it is here: the XO and most of the crew aboard the Bird don’t speak Pavanussian, merely Crosarti. The acting helmsman should’ve at least had the decency to continue while aboard the Bird to speak only in the lingo of the crew.
    No wonder the Commander hasn’t much trust in anyone save her Admiral & a few of the Bird’s crew. She tolerates Kellin & Von Taeliac (from my view) because they’re the Admiral’s parents, nothing more.
    So really Azure is the “uneducated country girl”, not the XO!

      If you recall, Ilyena was nothing but hostile towards Azure upon first meeting. Imagine that hostility never went away.

      For six months.

      While living on a very small ship together.

      Azure may be a tad resentful. Especially once you learn a bit more about her background.

        But seriously, what about the XO’s hostility? Doesn’t that count? You’re right-Azure’s been cooped up in a ship with a hostile 1st officer. She’s operating aboard a vessel whose crew’s main communication is in, to her, another language AND another & different culture.
        But, on the other hand, even with Azure’s past, does it still merit hostility? Come on, T. She should at least try to work out something with the XO, shouldn’t she?
        I’m just sayin’, is all.
        As I said: I’m curious now as to how all this’ll play out.

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
