    ~~You ok CustardFist? You’re stuff’s always been weird but it seems to have taken a decidedly sexual slant in the ones I’ve seen lately.

    Also, there are impossibly few women turned on by having a doctor rooting around in their privates. That last facial expression overwhelmingly pushes the whole comic into the territory where I’m questioning if these aren’t some way of not so subtly sharing your personal kinks with the world.~~

    Edit: Nevermind, just checked your profile. For some reason a ton of your recent stuff hasn’t shown up during my doomscrolling. Guess it’s time to try a new sorting algorithm!









  • Iirc, the creator of Duckstation has been salty about repackaging his stuff for a good while. He had disagreements with how RetroArch made a core from his emulator, citing some sort of licensing violation (not asure the validity). So someone forked his codebase and made the Swanstation core, and he publicly exploded and ceased development of Duckstation.

    He must have come back at some point for his opinions to be relevant again I guess.

    As far as I understood things, he’s always been touchy about what others chooss to do with his code, even having negative reactions to basic bug fix pull requests.

    Apologies if the other response comment covered some of this. I’ve got them blocked and I’m not going to even try to figure out who on my block list it is and why.


  • While I’m not against an anonymous stand for what’s “right”, that really was the tipping point for a lot of changes on 4chan.

    It really fuelled the idea that anonymous should have some sort of goal of justice rather than just doing things “for the lulz”. It normalized the concept of shamelessly bringing your internet culture of choice out into the real world regardless of appropriateness (most of the protests were really just 4chan irl meetups, not really protests).

    The biggest change was the sheer amount of public attention it drew to the site. That brought in a huge influx of new users who didn’t care to conform to the existing board culture (for better or worse). Things changed considerably following all that mess.





  • Wow.

    They clearly care more about propety damage than people. Here’s an aside on why property damage in America is often damage to people (local business owners). But they totally only care about property.

    My guy, there are significant, demonstrable, and studied long term negative effects on communities (problems that directly effect the people living there) due to property damage from protests. You’re right that it stems from a lack of support structures, but that cause doesn’t change the bad it does to communities and the people in them. It disproportianately effects the poor as well, as those with the means tend to flee areas where propery destruction/rioting/looting occured, which takes money out of the local area, which snowballs until a once thriving community is now a food desert with no businesses or services available for the residents.

    Yeah, fuck the big businesses. Fuck the 1%. But don’t cut off vital services from a community by driving all of them out. Go make an actual statement and go after the owners. Go after the HQs. Go to the executives’ and politicians’ homes and where they actually work and spend time.

    See how quick the police respond to people destroying inner city businesses vs a peaceful crowd in the street in front of Maxine Water’s house, and then tell me which is more important to the rich (and therefore far less damaging to the poor).

    If you’re going to risk getting riot equipment used on you, pick more valuable fucking targets.




  • there was something I could somehow magically fix if I just kept pushing myself through the rock in my way.

    This is one of the worst “thought traps” out there. The biggest change in my life was when I decided to learn to work around/with my flaws rather than through/against them.

    I don’t mean give up and never try to improve, like a post I’ve seen here where someone got mad at their friends because their friends should just expect them to be late because ADHD. I mean stuff like that I set as many alarms and reminders as it takes, rather than deluding myself that “one alarm will be fine if I pay attention”.
