Well, this is the closest we have now…
The camera is old and there are lots of dead pixels in the night sensor but still is a mesmerizing broadcast.
Guess we will never know what WiS would have been…
…but a part of my heart still is there… That was me with I think it was short cropped hair, maybe, and don’t know what filter turned the dim-lit CQ into this bright, comic-style place…
Oh wait: I have an unedited shot from the same photo-op:
That was 14 years ago.
And now I’m off to bed. Night night lovelies!
Also: more real than reality…?

Notice how the studio lights not only are reflecting on the surface of the bubble, but also are cast on the wall behind her…
You can do that now in Star (Pirate) Citizen. Here are views from Zaera’s pleasure palace, currenlty within the lawless system of Pyro where Zaera reigns supreme.
Zaera does like entertaining her captives in style.
Scam Citizen looks pretty good these days.
I tried Scrap Citizen last year on my then 9-years old build. Once it decided to load (several UN resolutions were needed), I was on a floating base above the clouds. FPS was very low and I wondered whether there was some kind of “invisible barrier” on the edge of the platforms, since there were no rails no signs and I though that it would be incredibly stupid if one could just, like, fall off a platform 5 minutes after exiting the hotel, 5 minutes after exting the room, 10 minutes after starting to load. Oh, yes would be incredibly stupid that players could just fall off a platform in the sky, hovering above some clouds…
Which I did.
10 minutes later I still was falling through a mist with slowly increasing atmosphere pressure and temperature (so the game wasn’t frozen), called it a day and repossessed my HDD space.
Veredict?
It was pretty buggy but alot better now
Time to go to bed… night night lovelies!
Also: just a slice of ordinary life…
Harbour street life at Tin Ghaut in Whitby, Yorkshire, 1901. It is believed that the name Tin Ghaut came from slang for “the inn” and “ghaut”, a hindi word for wide steps going down a shoreline towards the water. This place no longer exists as the area was redeveloped in the 1960s.
I’m actually quite impressed…by the fact that that cat has only 3 legs!

Time to go to sleep… night night lovelies!
Also: old people, old times…

Curtis purposely used sepia prints to give an atemporal air to his portraits of what he considered cultures in risk of being lost.
Paganism - it’s the best 
Not patriarchal like other religions

@Zaera_Keena I thinks it’s against forum rules to discuss religion.
Well, a discusion is when two people talk about something they don’t agree on, unless they’re doing it in a warm cozy place, in which case it’s called a discushion.
Also: she said it! She… he! He said it!
