On first look this seems like a pretty esoteric juxtaposition of little local shops.

But then you notice...

They're the SAME shop.

A sample of things that might happen to a comic strip while it's climbing up towards triple digits:

The central premise involves making fun of a subculture that no longer exist except as a cartoon archetype.

In order to maintain the iconic character design of the main character, it becomes a thing that they are wearing hilariously outdated clothes compared to the rest of the world, but the strips notion of what "modern clothes" look like are themselves a couple decades behind the curve.

The comic introduces a side-character that becomes so popular they gradually take over the strip, to the point where they become the title character of the strip and the former main character is relegated to supporting and cameo roles.

Full ship of Theseus, literally none of the characters featured at the start of the strip nor cartoonists drawing them play a part in the current iteration.

The strip exist in a limbo between continuation and rerun as they keep recycling old strips with updated punchlines.

At some point the cartoonist currently drawing the strip realizes that they can do basically whatever they like and what remaining newspapers exist will keep on running them out of inertia and the strip starts to get Weird.

How on earth do they make their burgers?

sometimes i worry about how correct my own beliefs and opinions on trans issues are. and then i remember that transphobes are some of the stupidest and evilest motherfuckers on the goddamn planet. and that helps a bit.

my mother in law talking about her ideas for hobbies after retirement

"i could do video presentations on things like how to navigate insurance, dance, exercise..."

I'm nodding, makes sense

"and do it with a character"

huh?

"so nobody knows who I am. maybe a fox"

wait

"that way i can present boring concepts but do it as an animal character"

yall shes gonna be a furry vtuber

this is incredible

Ideas tontas que me vienen por la falta de sueño pero estaba pensando que con esto de la UE tratando de votar el chat control e ilegalizar la encriptación todas las puñeteras semanas hasta que salga (de lo que nuestro gobierno es de los más entusiastas de Europa), el intento de eliminar todo anonimato de toda actividad en interné y que toda actividad esté vinculada a tu identidad legal (de lo que el PSOE es super fan también), el furgol de los cojones dejándonos sin medio interné cada 4 días...

Igual deberíamos ir montando una infraestructura ciudadana separada? como aquella época en la que montábamos torres llenas de aceite y antenas con latas de pringles en las azoteas? hoy creo que sería más sencillo con raspberries y similares, routers con openwrt etc...

Igual con wimax por eso de mayor rango y menor ruido o yo que sé.

@dfxluna I have this problem with nearly every top-down action game. I don’t know what it is about the genre but there are just so. many. particle effects

can we please just stop doing daylight saving time already.

I love poe2’s combination of “so many fucking particle effects at the same time that it’ll bring any machine to its knees” and “very tightly timed dodge rolls that you have to just read and time correctly.

The Aether has its livery again!
Still some work to do on the cockpit interior, some details like the front of the intakes and where the light from the headlamps points, and paneling and weathering.

But we're getting there!

@0x4d6165 I use Neovim Qt because it’s slightly easier for me to click the Neovim Qt icon than to click the Terminal icon and then type nvim

A post was shared with me and I had a vision.

@raccoonformality hey Microsoft, would you like us to call everything that you create slop?

• Yes
• Ask again later

“Microsoft would really like for you to stop calling what they are doing slop”

Lol, that’s cute. I forgot where and when I asked for the megacorps opinion tho?

Microslop! Microslop! Microslop! ☺️

Y'know, everyone knows about the Gadget Hackwrench cult, but I don't have any evidence that it ever amounted to more than one meetup among Russian fans with kind of a funny gimmick. To me, the most inexplicable things about the fandom in retrospect are:

1. It's perhaps the most homophobic fandom I've ever seen, to the point where actual stills from the show was deemed too gay to be posted. This wasn't uniformly the case, of course, and there was a lot of resistance. The owner of the RRdatabase did some hosting shenanigans to be able to showcase gay CDRR art while remaining technically allowable to be linked to from the main forum.

2. There was an oddly big overlap with the star trek fandom and multiple fans had their own fantasy shipyard and would roleplay as starship captains. The only connection this show has with space is that they meet aliens in one episode and end up on a space shuttle in another, that's really it.

3. The longest thread on The Acorn Cafe was called "Poke", it was a link to a Flash game where you poke a penguin until it explodes. It turned into the lengthiest forum roleplay thread I've ever seen, with multiple distinct phases and storylines, some of which being more like a freeform paintball fight and other being more like a star trek adventure. I'd like to think it's still going.

4. The fandom fell apart circa 2010 basically a solid majority of the remaining fans became obsessed with My Little Pony instead.

5. The 2022 live action movie was so bizarre it caused many in the fandom to get back together after not having talked in a decade just to be able to discuss the burning question of "what the hell was that?"

the post game items in Super Climb Up!! are all completely above board, nothing shady at all about the place you buy them from or the lovely shopkeeper who sells them to you, right?
