Exaggerated relief map of East-Central Europe.
It's so cosy living in the Pannonian Plain, protected from the World by mountains and seas on all sides.

Lost Film — Keep It Together (Relief Map)
Keep It Together by Lost Film
Lost Film makes wistful lo-fi C86 pop, with lucid layers of shimmering guitar, clear, rueful vocals and just enough gumption to kick it into gear. The band, which is mostly one guy, Jimmy Hewitt, has been kicking around for most of a decade, with a slew of artful EPs and singles. Before moving to Western Mass, Hewitt recorded as Orca Orca, a slightly more antic and post-punk outfit from Boston in the early teens.
I first ran into Lost Film when Hewitt opened for Sweeping Promises this summer as a five piece band: two guitars, bass, drums and keyboards. In that configuration, you could make connections to Slumberland bands like the Pains of Being Pure at Heart (first album) and My Teenage Stride, another excellent Pioneer Valley band once covered in NZ-style fuzz, but now submerged into the Jeanines. On the record, Lost Film pogos less and swoons more. These tunes drift and swirl and get lost in their own thoughts, Hewitt’s high tenor soft and dream-dredged over translucent lines of guitar, the distant punch of drums (that’s Ben Husk, Hewitt’s longest-running collaborator and the only other musician credited here).
It's mostly a guitar-based art, but Hewitt switches to keyboards a couple of times for an intriguing change-up. “Searching” follows an eerie synth riff through cool, enveloping shades of grey. The instrumental “Devotion” explores an echoing, uncanny valley keyboard melody for about a minute; it sounds ever so slightly like the Cure.
Late in the disc, Hewitt hazards a spikier, more stinging sound in “Notion,” a hard jangle bracing surreal swells of synth and soft focus vocals. It’s a good song, maybe the best on the album, as it punches through the pretty fog like certain early Bats tunes or, again, that gorgeous first Pains of Being Pure at Heart album. I like it the best because it jitters as well as soothes, digs in as well as floats away, but you don’t have to sell me very hard on rainy Sunday afternoon pop. Lost Film is lovely whether slumped in wistful contemplation or slashing out, just a bit, in rocking agitation. Paging Slumberland, we’ve got a live one.

Come sarebbe stata la mappa di Fallout 2 in shaded relief 👽
L'abbiamo realizzata noi di Vizart quindi potrebbe avere bisogno di qualche correzione. È molto complicato trovare dei dati esatti!
E comunque a me piace moltissimo Fallout 76, nonostante tutti lo critichino.

spent my morning exhaustedly realizing that my phone charger had broken inside the charging port & having a panic spiral because i gotta take the car to the shop today and 1) need a phone to call when it's done 2) need easy access to public transit schedules. did some frantic googling and found a forum explaining how to use a safety pin to dig the metal pieces out. so i spent some time finding a thumb tack & then followed the instructions. it only took about 10 minutes.
then i put my phone on a different charger. and it wouldn't charge.
cue SECOND immediate and debilitating anxiety spiral about "OH GOD i just yanked out a bunch of actual electrical components and destroyed my whole phone and i'm gonna have to pay for a replacement and transfer my number and try to recover all of my data and and and,"
pulled the charger out. blew in the port. flipped the charger around. prayed really hard. plugged it back in.
anyway.
my phone is fine now.

Napoleon was really cute during this exchange:
He really liked these miniature models called plan-reliefs. There were several intricately detailed ones made during his rule.
This one is of the port city of Brest. This is what he said when he saw it on 6 March 1813:
Translation:
“Here is a beautiful, a magnificent work! It's beautiful, it's very beautiful! (...) Go get the Empress, tell her that we have seen nothing comparable.”
