@Kalethedeer FC had two stages for several years. I think it worked for the times and spaces when they did it but maybe a logistical hassle for the coordinator? Then you have huge cons like FWA with multiple venues

I really would like to see more cons have 2 stages (that can support it). A dedicated house stage/ dance grooves would be ideal for people who don't want those faster, hard hiting sets. High energy but not brain rattling. There is no main stage, just 2 stages.

Here's my set from Frolic this month. Fun times 😎 mixcloud.com/ikkuma/ikkuma-…

Mix up from my set at the first ever Furlingame! Give it a listen ^^ mixcloud.com/ikkuma/ikkuma-…

Footage from inside my Ben Lomond house during the 5.1 earthquake

A week from today: catch me opening up the Friday dance at the sparkly new Bay Area con #Furlingame ! And then just about a week later I'll be playing Frolic! Woo! Two chances

My Further Confusion 2026 performance... mixcloud.com/ikkuma/ikkuma-…

The Moche were a mysterious civilization who ruled the northern coast of Peru beginning 2,000 years ago. The Moche lacked written language, but were incredibly skilled in pottery and ceramics which they used to communicate ideas and express their lives by depicting detailed scenes of hunting, fighting, sacrifice, ceremonies, and sexual encounters in startlingly explicit detail. Little was known about the Moche civilization until 1980s when archaeologists began uncovering monuments and tombs containing detailed murals, and incredible ceramics that depicted detailed scenes of hunting, fighting, sacrifice, ceremonies, and explicit sexual encounters. The erotic pottery left behind by the Moche represent one of the most detailed accounts of sexual customs ever left by ancient people. This last item, the so called “Sex Pots”, have been the subject of much research and study of sexual values in pre-Columbian Peru. Of the thousands of ceramic vessels that have been recovered from Moche tombs, at least 500 of them display sexually explicit imagery, typically rendered as free-standing three-dimensional figures on top, or as part of, a vessel. Moche Sex Pots are actually functional clay post, with hollow chambers for holding liquid and stirrup-shaped spouts for pouring, often in the form of a phallus. They depict men, women and animals engaging in a variety of sexual acts, the most common of which is anal sex. Many of pottery bottles thus symbolized the emission of sexual fluids and would probably have been used in ceremonies and rituals. When Spanish invaders discovered them, the unabashed depiction of sodomy and masturbation so affronted their Christian belief that they had the posts smashed. The anal sex in particular is reproduced over and over, in a variety of styles, indicating that it was produced by different artists over a long period of time. To remove any doubt that may arise in minds of the viewer regarding the gender of the penetrated figure, the artist often carved the genitalia carefully, despite their small scale, so as to demonstrate that it is the anus, not the vagina that is being penetrated. Scenes of vaginal penetration are itself extremely rare. Sometimes, accompanying the couples, one can see an infant suckling onto the breast of the female while she is having sex. There are also figures depicting women administering fellatio or masturbating. Some depict male skeletons masturbating, or being masturbated by living women. “These pots clearly reflect very different notions of sex and reproduction from ones that prevail in the West, and, because of this, a lot of researchers have had trouble making sense of them,” writes UNEARTHING. The Larco Museum (Museo Larco) in Lima, Peru, displays the largest collection of pre-Columbian erotic pottery. According to Museum, it presents “a conception of sexuality and eroticism inextricably linked to an integrated understanding of the world and its animating vital forces. In the Andean worldview, life is made possible through a generative encounter (tinkuy) between opposite complementary forces (yanantin). Female and male bodies are an expression of this duality.” The images below all come from their collection. 📷 : Stirrup vessel with fellatio scene; Peru, Moche civilization, 300-600 AD.

🔥 This is good fire at work in Mendocino County. This prescribed burn was conducted under carefully selected conditions to reduce hazardous fuels, improve forest health, and strengthen protection for nearby communities. Prescribed fire is a well-established, science-based tool that plays a critical role in reducing wildfire risk and supporting long-term resilience.

I reckon rocket launchers should be a primary weapon. With unlocked guns, people could resupply them, fine, whatever. You get 5 a life anyway, it's tuned for spam. Would be faster to redeploy, let them cook. Assault could take a rocket plus a carbine. I guess this is the new antitank class? No complaints here, they're choosing between a gun and a grenade launcher. Engineer needs more gadgets, deployable repair station for vehicles, mortar, more types of mines, unique grenades, drones that blow up or attack. Make engie the hands-off class, assault the hands-on, support the team...support, and recon the sniper, flanker, demolitions, Intel gatherer (especially if Doritos get disabled, he should get binoculars to make people show up on map, and move auto-spot to sniper attachment like it used to be).

This is overtuned. I'm locking and 1-shotting any aircraft from 750+ meters away, with a handheld stinger. Anyone can have it, with 5 shots (2x each aircraft in the team, alone) For reference, the distance between A & E (furthest distance in the map) is 400m. @tiggr_ @DRUNKKZ3

My Frolic set up and at 'em mixcloud.com/ikkuma/ikkuma-…

I'll be playing @FrolicParty Saturday! Hope to see you there!

I'll be DJing at AFC in September - it's going to be a blast!
