It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

I have corrected the sign

CD (blue fluffy dragon) stands next to a sign saying, originally, "Oxenhope - 660 feet above" which has been crudely edited to read "Oxenhope - 0 feet above Seadragom"

The travel poster looked like so many others. A lush forest behind a serene beach. The text said "Be something exotic!"

"Sorry, there's a typo on your poster. I think you mean 'somewhere'?"

"No. We can make you to be, say, a bear, tiger, or hippo, for up to a week."

"A hippo? Tell me more!"

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Julei explains the temptations of her past in The Epsilon Project
#furry #comics #furryart #ProjectFuture

Previous pages are here: projectfuturecomic.com/epsilon.php?...

Julei explains her past

Julei: "Do I regret it NOW? Of course. I feel terrible guilt at destroying my enemies so thoroughly. But I'm not perfect, Josh. If I could go back and prevent it, I'm not sure I would."

Julei: "I don't look it, but I'm OLD, Josh. Older than most 'Cubi get, and they would be decrepit if they did. It's only because I ate so many souls in the past that I'm still this young."

Julei: "Put yourself in my place, if you can. You're young and beautiful, and justly proud of that beauty. But soon it will fade like a cut flower, a bowl of pottage left to go cold."

Julei: "If you knew that you could RETAIN that youth by consuming others, others whom you were taught from birth were your mortal enemies that it was your sacred task to destroy, could you RESIST doing that?"

Josh: "I... I don't know."
Julei: "You're lucky that you'll never have to make that choice. And I'm grateful Daryil's clan have finally found an alternative to souls."

Julei: "A wise man once said, 'All is vanity'. But HE wasn't a 'Cubi. For me, for others like me, vanity is ALL."

Culture shock.

projectionedge.com
Mirror site: projectionedge.thecomicseries.com

Panel 1: Over a shot of the Meridian Motel-Inn, we see two inset shots each of Kilroy and Bijou in the Projection Edge.
Kilroy: I’ve been searching for Eamonn, but I can’t find him anywhere!
Bijou: We’re very worried… we’re just hoping his new owners haven’t DONE anything to him.

Panel 2: In the Projection Edge, Kilroy is flying over some hills with giant flowers. He has Bijou, Eva and Quenby on his back.
Kilroy: What exactly would they do?
Quenby: Well, they might hurt him, mistreat him… you know, make him suffer.

Panel 3: At the base of two towering structures, video game characters Banjo, Kazooie, Klonoa, and Sly Cooper look up at Kilroy flying far up ahead.
Kilroy (from a distance): Like when I was TRAPPED?
Eva: Something like that, I suppose.

Panel 4: Kilroy continues flying through a landscape of fairy-tale medieval castles.
Kilroy: I see. It’s all so very strange. I’m only BEGINNING to understand things like “MALICE” and “CRUELTY.”

Panel 5: Close-up of Eva and Quenby on Kilroy’s back. Spyro is flying next to them, somewhat annoyed by their presence.
Kilroy: I mean, in our regular life, we just get what we need and leave each other alone.
Eva: What IS your everyday life like?

This is a long letter of friendship for @seadrag.com featuring the game that definitely bought us closer together🌌
I adore PlanetCrafter as a game that moves at my preferred speed, no combat and all about exploration.
Painting is fun again
#theplanetcrafter #furryart #fantasyart #illustration #steam

A sepia tint to a scene of two explorers dressed in orange spacesuits. The scene is based off the game ThePlanetCrafter. The two anthro characters (blue fluffy dragon and a green troll) are overlooking a lake with cliffs/hills landscape in the background. Very large planet seen in the tan sky. Theres a cat-like creature with golden butterflies around.

"Game loading times are soooo slow"

I had to sit with my ZX+2 for 10 minutes, waiting, HOPING it would load (and be the right game) and not give me the dreaded TAPE R LOAD ERROR.

But you can't save your game. Die? START AGAIN. Maps? Draw your own! Power cut? No recovery sorry!

Tim gets a surprise in The Bounty Project
#furry #comics #furryart #ProjectFuture

Previous pages of Bounty are here: projectfuturecomic.com/bounty.php?s...

Tim studies the bounty record on his laptop. He is not impressed.

Tim: "I don't remember any outgoing bounties lately, but it looks fine... The guy was murdered by a rogue incubus two weeks ago. Bounty's in escrow... Yep, that seems legit. Where's the problem?"

Tim: "Is Fairwater angry about one of his precious 'Cubi being hunted? Well, cry me a river!"

Tim: "If 'Cubi want to ACT like monsters, then they should DIE like monsters! I know I won't be shedding any tears when his head's chopped off..."

Josh: "That's not the POINT. Fairwater was quite prepared to do justice upon the murderer... The trouble is, Obediah WASN'T MURDERED."
Tim: "...Come again...?"

Jason: "He was hanged. In Southmoor. YESTERDAY... Two weeks AFTER you posted the bounty on his supposed murderer!"
Tim: "WHAT?!"

Tim: "Oh Gods... THEY killed him?! What happened?"

Suddenly, I noticed a faint smell of tuna. I looked over at my office partner, Dr. Hunt. She was grinning by the machine she'd built.

"It works!"

"Nice," I said. "What is it?"

"What you smell is the ghost of tuna!"

I felt something brush against my leg. The office filled with ghostly purring.

The craziest thing I’m chasing down: I don’t believe that stargate abilene has even close to enough power, nor is it possible for them to build it before the year 2027. They have a 200mw substation and an unfinished 350mw gas turbine plant.

They need 1GW+ and it’s still in the design phase!
