Gonna start a 2025 media thread. I don't know how long it'll last but I'm gonna try and try my best to make thoughts and reviews sound nice and I guess wordy. Also, I guess help my social skills.

It's not about if Horses is good or if you like it, it's about the world we're in where a few companies have control over who gets to make money and which artists get to continue working.
Stores can stock whatever they want, but if you don't understand the broader picture you shouldn't speak.

I find it funny and interesting from yesterday in Amazing X-Men issue 3 that Cyclops puts Kwannon Psylocke back in as his 2nd command like after her defecting from Revelation. I can't remember it was ever explained in Adj X-Men but I would like to see why Cyclops trust Psylocke the most. #Xspoilers

I have fewer followers here, but the level of actually worthwhile engagement feels about the same, and there's way less junk. Either way, I'll keep drawing until I'm physically unable to, regardless of where or who's watching.
Anyhow, thanks for hanging around with me.

It's been over a year since I bailed on Twitter. I was like, "I don't care what it costs me, fuck this." Surprisingly it didn't really cost me anything AFAIK. Income-wise I'm actually doing better now than I was a year ago, which I never expected. Maybe I'd be making even more, but I don't care.

the fact storefronts always completely clam up when they remove something and never respond to any requests by the developer on how to make their game compliant kind of gives away the entire game and it is dumb to pretend it doesn't

Important to note that the reason RAM is more expensive isn't because OpenAI is ransacking store shelves and buying all the retail stock.
They aren't using those. Instead "AI" companies dumped an insane amount of money on RAM manufacturers to tie up their production lines with parts "AI" needs.

Good example of this is the Raspberry Pi, which was designed to be a low-cost ARM computer to make PCs available to more people globally.
But even that ARM SoC has a limited amount of RAM built into it. It needs external RAM chips.
And as a result, Raspberry Pi prices are going up.

I look at the way Steam does their awards and because it’s “No rules, whoever screams at their pitchfork-wielding youtube audience to vote on [X]” wins, I think, mannnnn, Gamers have such bad taste.
