By Eduardo Raffo CarozziBreeding CalamitiesGeneric/Universal Year after year, the monks meditate and pray with the desire to get closer to enlightenment. They boast of having abandoned the desires of this material world, of being one with the Universe, however, no one is beyond temptation and many times the most devout are the first to be corrupted. This thirty page outline is trying to convey the hunt for a demonic beast …

This hearty minestrone Milanese is a super nutritious Italian vegetable soup from Lombardy. It is thicker than most minestrone soups and full of healthy seasonal vegetables, protein-rich beans, and aromatic herbs. Add rice or pasta, and serve it the Italian way with grated Parmigiano and a dash of extra virgin olive oil. What is minestrone? Minestrone... The post Minestrone Milanese appeared first on The Pasta Project.

I disappeared again – I’m sorry. I’m trying to decide whether I’m done with this whole blogging malarky – there are aspects I miss – but I get overwhelmed with the effort it takes me now. So, if I do stick around, I might need to change the kinds of posts I publish and focus less on the long review posts I used to write, and would prefer to write …

Today I have another 3d Print – this time it’s a replacement for the simple “prison tower” tile from the standalone Prison Outbreak expansion. As with the Black Plague Trapdoors from the other day, this one was a free STL that I found online – this time on Cults3D. Painting was pretty straightforward. I wanted the whole thing to be an overall dull grey, no red brick or tiles, no …

"Will Nikon introduce a global shutter camera?Yes.The only real question is "when?" I've been following Nikon patents for three decades now, particularly ones pertaining to digital imaging. Nikon has quite a few patents in the global shutter arena, with one of the most interesting one being a hybrid global/rolling shutter patent (just resurfaced by Asobinet in Japan). In that updated patent, the original of which is now eight years old, …

We just closed down Relay’s 2024 St. Jude campaign. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise $1,078,348 to further St. Jude’s mission of finding cures and saving children. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. This is an incredible achievement that we share as a community.

You can find all of my Tokyo Game Show 2024 coverage hereUpon checking in for the Tokyo Game Show 2024 Monster Hunter Wilds demo, I was asked by the booth attendant whether I preferred to hunt alone or in multiplayer. Being that I hadn't played Monster Hunter since the initial release of Rise in 2021, I decided I'd be better off figuring things out on my own. Given my clumsy …

Science had always predicted that it had no intersection whatsoever with faith. In the end, the one was the bridge to the other — at least up to a point. As our knowledge peeled back layer after layer of reality, digging ever deeper into the fundamental truths of the universe, the beauty and strange inevitability of its workings seemed to show that spirituality was just wishful thinking; ignorance dressed in …

I have finally managed to finish my 15mm (1:100) Weimar Republic Schupo Sonderwagen of 1921. At least one of these armoured cars was still trundling around Berlin when the Soviets took the city in 1945.The STLs are available at https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/daimler-schupo-sonderwagen-1921/Later on...Unditching rampsI've added a separate STL for the wooden unditching ramps that could be carried over the port rear wheel.However, due to the limitations of the STL format's floating point …

A few days ago a New Jersey indiepop fan shared with me his discovery of a little known band from the UK: The Bed Bugs. At first I thought they were The Bedbugs, who I wrote about time ago. But no, these were different. Not only their name was different, with a space between bed and bugs, but they hailed from somewhere else in the UK, York. The Bed Bugs …

Cover design by Elizabeth Story. Cover art by Mike Mignola. The subtitle tells you everything you need to know about this new collection of Joe R. Lansdale stories from Tachyon. I designed the interior of the book, less floridly than some of my previous designs for Tachyon, and a little more abstractly than I’d usually do for a title such as this. All of the stories have been published before, …

The genocide in Gaza reached its one year mark without any end in sight. 365 days of indiscriminate bombing, the decimation of hospitals, targeted attacks on journalists and aid workers, and mass scholasticide. In the face of this destruction, rigorous analysis of Palestine's history and present has never been more important. That is why we are launching the Verso Palestine Pamphlets. These pamphlets are short, urgent interventions answering pressing questions …
