A lone pixelated figure holding a torch is standing on column in a black void. Other barely lit columns of various heights can be seen around. There's a grey sun setting behind a shadowy archway in the distance.

Looks like it's #AUSPEX day 194.

The best use I have of this project so far is for me to remember which day of the week it is. It kind of succeeds in this regard, but the only reason is because I start a new track on every Monday, and yes, I know it's Friday.

I also most often remember which day of the year it is, thanks to this thread, but it's not exactly useful, is it? Well, it's still glorious in its own tiny way. That's the whole point.

A lone pixelated figure holding a torch, yes, still the same freaking character with the same torch after 194 days, is standing in some strange corridor made of giant rings aligned with a slight lateral offset. So it appears kind of oval, like a giant stone vagina or something like that. That wasn't intentional but hey, let's enjoy the awkward accidental symbolism while we're here, shall we?
