I got a pixel art app that's been helping waste time in work recently. It's called dotpict. I think it would only interest someone with the very specific combination of interests in retro games and Japanese style art.
I'm no expert but I made these while bored. It's really satisfying to start out with just dots and with a few techniques end up with something that hopefully doesn't look too bad. I remember the days when video games might actually look something like this.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Of course. There are many firms here that do the same as I do and rip the skin of their customers for doing a very lousy job. The most of them ask for you to pay about a $100 for installing a system with no drivers and no AV software while I install and set up everything for $15 and never had any complaints about the quality of my work. There are even some idiots from those firms who install Windows by running setup.exe while Windows is running! (facepalm) From that point the endless problems for the customer begin because the drivers in C:\Windows and C:\Windows.old start fighting each other which often causes system freeze or even a BSOD.

Idk what hots and cot are but we do have a deal.
Surely living in your country would be a lot better than living in mine where CEZ rips us with several human skins every month for electricity bills.
Laziness is the engine of progress.

Nice work! I think I like the third one best.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
