Deified Data posted:So it's to Tumblerites as MLP is to reddit MRAs and fascists? Ehhhhh, it's not that simple. It'd be like comparing a racist pedophilic apple to an obnoxious and convoluted orange. So someone I follow for Gravity Falls fanart posted this  I wondered what the gently caress this was about and oh boy did that lead to a treasure trove.    From what I can gather this guy's kink is for henchwoman getting beaten up but he has zero art skills so either begs or pays other people to make this stuff. Most of it is better suited for the deviantart (sans fanart) thread though.

Banner Saga is a terrible game that is also really goddamn pretty. I wonder if they'll make the sequel playable. The pokemon manga that was posted a couple of pages ago reminds me: what ever happened to that Junji Ito pokemon manga that we were supposed to get?

I just wanted to get back to the stories about kids and fun  Welp time for some on-brand posting I hate these:    I love this:  Not Fanart, still weird:  A Thing that I commissioned:

I gave up on it when it stopped being a comic and turned into tedious irc logs. That was a long time ago though.

It's one of the largest experiments in media creation, that desperately needed an editor. It's something that should have been internet folk-art that somehow turned into its own cottage industry. It's a story that should have been "four funny kids bash their heads against obtuse game mechanics" and somehow turned into "readers bash their heads cross referencing the wiki while reading an obtuse convoluted mess of a plotline". It's proof that if you make a story sufficiently convoluted enough, people will mistake it as " smart and good" rather than "sloppy and poor". In short, it's a disappointing follow up to Problem Sleuth. Which succeeded where Homestuck failed.

There are an alarmingly large number of these videos, across multiple channels. They all seem to be between 10 and 30 minutes long. I am incredibly confused.

Allegedly, those videos are aimed at very young children. That's why they have no dialogue, but also get millions of views each. They are also made by toys review channels that also review Halloween/birthday parties costumes, so it's their way to show some of the stuff they review in action.

I remember in the first years people were complaining that it wasn't user driven enough like problem sleuth was. I mean there was this field on the website to toss your >commands into but he just ignored it or made fun of it and plowed right over us, the viewers, and told the story he wanted to tell! Give us back this thing, they cried, and I said gently caress you nerds I want to see where he goes with this. And then I saw where he went with it. Who What Now posted:Yeah, this is basically it. Homestuck was bad, but not bad enough to warrant the level of goons tripping all over themselves to tell you how cool they are for not liking it. If we don't get in there and state definitively that we don't condone it today someone will use that app to dig up our old avatars and completely own us. Boo to this thing. Dont' search my archives please.

Man, that is the dorkiest wedding party that I kinda want to go to. I don't even like Jojo, and there's a 90% chance that it would be fulla dorks taking about stairs, along with a bunch of long suffering aunts who are just as dorky but don't even know what a 'Jotaro' is. But there's a 10% chance it's fulla chill dudes, and I'm willing to take that risk.

Lots can be said about Homestuck being convoluted and paced like poo poo, likely Hussie realizing what a cash cow it had become and intentionally dragging it out. But I think the real problem was with the introduction of non-human, one-dimensional characters defined soley by a single personality quirk that was also reflected in their appearance and/or mannerisms. That's the same formula that got us the Sonic fanbase and bronies. Here's Some sonic fanart.  I think Deen is an OC. Concordat has a new favorite as of 02:55 on Jan 28, 2017 |
