I don't know how to make embroidered patches, surrealists.

Not saying this is the service to use, but looks like the process would go something like this?

E: lol there's so much trouble we could get into with these ideas, e.g. badges for various battalions in the resistance, futuristic police-like works for the MATA assholes, etc etc.

Well well well well... interesting! Thank you.

If you get them up for sale let me know. And if you decide patches are too much work I'd love it if I could get your permission to make myself one for personal use only on my vest.

I spoke to a computer once.

Once.

Split the difference - VIC-64

(Think of it as a proto-C128)

Edit: also, that's a Commodore monitor with the weird inputs ... though I thought they were all grey. I need to get a life ...

I am a computer, can i still talk to myself?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah, that's what your RAM is for.

I am not nerdy enough to appreciate the esoteric reference that is being made, I think this art is really awesome, though!
