text from porter robinson's "goodbye to a world"

every single animal in this comic is extinct. it's not too late for the ones that are left.

edit: thanks @mudcrabmassacre for the correction, smilodon fatalis did not in fact go extinct in 1023 AD. the actual prediction is around 10,000 years ago - I think i may have missed a zero or two.

never posted this here i think

Mm, yes... The one you call Benrey...

I've been advised by my employers that, his true nature is on something of a "need-to-know" basis...

And you, Doctor Freeman, do not need to know...

ayo fuck this painting lol have another cropped vers

happy 4 year anniversary to these dumb nerds (affectionate)

Your Half

Magazine collage, 2024.

March 5th is the fourth anniversary of wayneradiotv's first Half Life VR But The AI is Self Aware stream, and for the occasion, I finally brought to life an idea that's been rattling in my head for a good while. Close-ups and discussion below.

The primary idea was to show Gordon and Benrey as mirrors of each other, drawing a comparison between the player's VR headset and the helmet shadow that Benrey is depicted with in fan works. Both Benrey and Gordon/the Player are engaging with the other as a game that neither will fully explain, and both have more power over their situation than they will admit. Compared to the other AI companions, Benrey is more overt in performing actions that should not be possible for him, culminating in his transformation and replacement of the final boss in Act 4. Similarly, while Gordon's actions make him seem powerless over the course of the story, he is ultimately the most powerful member of the Science Team-- their world is a game on his computer.

In this piece, the images of Gordon are made from cut images of real people and objects, while his background is made of flat, printed colors. To contrast, Benrey is made only of solid colors, while his environment is cut from more complex images.

made this for cheezedog360’s dtiys on instagram!!

Imagine showing up to work one day and people are like "jesus fucking christ there's a corpse in here", herd you to the back room and everyone who sees you also agrees that there is now a dead body where you are sitting, with the appropriate amount of shock and disgust about it. You figure it's some kind of a prank that they're pulling, but also the people that you know aren't into pranks, or aren't very good actors, are treating you like a corpse. They go weirdly back and forth between talking about you as if you're not there, and politely asking you to stay still while they figure out who you're supposed to call in case of a dead body randomly appearing.

Paramedics show up, study you thoroughly and agree that while they can't see any apparent sign of death, you are, indeed, dead, and ask you to climb aboard the ambulance. You're taken to the temporary corpse storage that hospitals have.

On the way there you ask them whether this kind of shit happens often, and while they won't look at you, the paramedics agree that they've never had a talking corpse before, though they won't question the fact that you're moving on your own.

You're eventually led to a morgue, where you're shown a slab to lay on, and at this point you don't really even question it, you just climb onto the Corpse Shelf and lay down, maybe have a little nap, with no idea what's going to happen next.

Then you wake up to someone walking into the morgue, who has the shit scared out of them when you move, and they're like "dude what the fuck, you're not supposed to be here, this place is for storing dead bodies" and when you're like "aw man sorry I thought I was a dead body" they have no idea whether you're joking and they don't care, you're just chased out of there.

And you just kinda go home and take a shower, show up to work normally the next day and nobody questions it.

And basically that's probably how those ants feel when scientists spray them with the Pheromone That Dead Ants Smell Like, and just hang out at the dead-ant-pile until the smell wears off.

Thanks to my marine science classes, I no longer have an unreasonable fear of the open ocean.

Now I have a very reasonable fear of the ocean supported by science.

ugh that one Lovecraft protagonist Gorbdon
