Shows breaking bad evolution

## an ideal *ggplot2-bot* called **ggpal2**
- extending R libraries, systems, or interfaces *usually* requires:
- solving a common issue or task
- enhancing usability or customization
- expanding the use cases with new features
- a **punny portmanteau**

Bar chart of track record for chartle, guessed today correctly first try. Track record shows 2 first try guesses, 1 second try guess, playing a total of 3 times.

Looks like an 8bit game, pacman, Mario, galaga mashup, it's also a quark particle and quark cheese mashup. It says "quark's adventure" with score and health bars across the top, the bottom says flavor boost, jump, run and a few other buttons

Shot of the Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve

Person (me) walking with 1yo (Julian) in pack, 3yo (Lochlan) in hand, dog (Odin) looking back. Heading towards a trail to the dunes, vegetation nearby, sand dunes in the distance, and blue sky with white clouds above.

A 3D pie chart, purple, yellow, red, and blue. Tilted and floating at about 30-45 degrees, casting a shadow.

Giving old school PowerPoint nostalgia. Shadow could be bigger imo.

maize
{maize} 🌽 is an extension library for kernels & support vector machines in tidymodels! The package consists of additional kernel bindings that are not available in the {parsnip} or {recipes} package.
