Yeah, I remember getting a newer laptop in my late teens and having this moment of "I don't have time to make a snack..." For better and for worse the wait times we used to fill with little comforts just went poof
Newspaper style comics specifically? Maybe Fraz. Revolves around a janitor working at an elementary school. I haven't kept up with it but the creator cites Calvin and Hobbes as an inspiration and I love what I've read so far.
I forget which Behind the Bastards episode first put me on to this but man, there's such a long history of people in the US killing or trying to kill good projects because it helps the "wrong" people
it is the right moment for everyone who builds systems of control to reflect. It’s the right moment to pierce those layers of abstraction that allow you to get through each day, and question why it’s so financially lucrative for the system you’re building to exist.
Because there is no abstraction as leaky as a man waiting outside your hotel at 6:45 in the morning with a gun and murderous intent
Amazingly written article, last line giving me chills
I get it might not be for everyone. Until the main thing happened the first time I wasn't sold either, but personally, the game does an amazing job at making me naturally and fervently curious about what the heck was going on
I came to say Outer Wilds as well. Honestly changed my perspective on what a video game can be and I can't find any other game that gives me that same feeling. The only bad thing about Outer Wilds is you can only really experience it once
Do whatever I could to get sustainable energy going, just invest in all the renewable energy projects. Let's get everyone going with solar panels! Wind farms wherever we can! Free charging stations for everything!!! Oh, your battery tech project needs funding? Here's all the money you need!
Agree, Facebook is not the platform fot creatives, especially not comic creators.
I was a huge Webcomic fan back in the days of things like Mega Tokyo, Real Life Comics, etc., and people used to make a living hosting their own content on their own sites making their own ad revenue and merch shops. Kinda hate that social media consolidation killed all that. I actually want to catch up with Something Positive since the creator has been making podcasts appearances and reminded me he exists and seeing his site still looking the way it did a decade ago is like looking into a time machine to when the internet was better.
Sorry for the rant, webcomics have just been on my mind and your comment helped open the floodgates 😅
