the art community online is sometimes composed of the most self-absorbed petit bourgeoisies who act like IP theft is the worst thing that could happen to someone while their primary source of income relies on factory workers in china who get paid a quarter of the avg salary in the western hemisphere

Like there’s gotta be people that see the no name vodka and think it’s like government surplus vodka

I feel like people outside Canada assume No Name is like a government-mandated thing and not just a genius branding strategy owned by a giant conglomerate

Genuinely no better moment so far than when that vampire girl looks at a crossbow, says a quip, and pulls out a normal handgun

For a long time the only thing I knew about it was that Quinn Morgendorffer watches it

Its so funny how in buffy Xander lost his best friend to a vampire and he’s just totally chill afterwards

very cool! thank you for explaining :P

it's kind of insane how much of a game changer it's been for me. also did you know changing the DPI without changing the image resolution actually affects the size of CSP's screentones. insane.

See but that's the thing I just haaate to get told in moments like this. I don't think afterlife is a reassurance I need to hear about, I want to confront death not dance around it. Stuff DOES end stuff DOES have to suck sometimes

he could barely speak any english so he had all these coworkers convincing him that he should introduce himself by saying "i'm cock, i'm very circumcised to meet you!"

he literally said "im gonna pick a new name. first name i see will be my name." he looks over at a newspaper. headline is about muhammad ali versus joe frazier. new name chosen.

Obviously still going to cry over it and be sad, but I think what is important to realize is that by the time someone dies (in a normal old-age way), the stuff you're mourning already came and went! So much of the stuff you mourn was gone by the time death came, and it isn't really much of a change

he was a drummer for a reggae band in the 90s with his son in law and was such a penny pincher hed forage for food cooonstantly. he showed me his "notes" where he tried to assign each chemical in DNA different spiritual emotions and concepts like "home"

real important in the community type guy. started the town bottle depot, and cooked bread in the back to sell. helped organize local indigenous parades and events to the point of getting some kind of honorary membership. named himself after joe frazier because his nickname in dutch was Cock 😭

im a very non-spiritual person so when someone dies it kind of feels the same as if they moved to, like, sweden and never spoke to you again. functionally. ive kind of taken over cooking for the family during the emotional lows and i keep under-cooking the veggies. its embarrassing

its not a very tragic death, and it's something i'm somewhat comfortable/okay with. i got to carry on his bread recipe like its a family tradition. final conversation with him we were smiling and laughing. more stressed about how others around him are hurting

stuff is crazy rn. family member getting euthanized tomorrow. just restarted my antidepressants so everything feels like its on hard mode. had a job interview today and somehow just dropped all care in the world and did not stutter once

once you give CSP your monitor size it just resizes the zoom to the exact print size. SO FREAKIN USEFUL!

this was genuinely a game changer as a csp user. not important for everything but when it comes to comics and stuff like that, being able to get a grasp on the actual physical "size" of the piece is so important. or else you just go bigger and bigger and more and more detailed

Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart. Kart mod for SRB2, which was a sonic fan 3D platformer using Doom’s engine. It’s suuuch a fun fast paced kart racer with a huge modding community, and because everything’s billboarded sprites its super duper easy to make your own modded characters

Idk why they decided to remake it but stick with sonic 😭 (and maybe doom idk?) this was your chance to make money! LOL!

If I was guaranteed servers to play on (especially with friends) without having to worry about any hosting stuff I would 100% pay like 20 bucks for it.

It’s crazy how if SRB2K was not sonic or doom it could probably do gangbusters on steam with their server support and modding community

Every year we roll some dice and if we get snake eyes we get snow

around van it's all kind of the same. rain in december, rain in march lol
