yeah the biggest issue with the game imo is that unless you're absolutely obsessed it's not really reasonable to "finish" a character within the span of a league. always gonna be a few steps away from the peak unless you're very lucky. and since a pretty large chunk of players only play the first month of a league, the economy falls to poo poo for 2/3rds of the season.

the league structure is pretty core to how the game works at this point but i would still play it occasionally if i could hop onto old characters and do the new content, but i can't so i don't

Yeah I’m hoping Diablo 4 scratches that itch a little better tbh.

Idk why but a long time ago the yospos admin (toby) replaced his av with all the gang tags that were available at the time. Maybe it was to protest how they were becoming so common because that dude just was a miserable curmudgeon of a nerd. Whatever.

The CCCC comic thread put me onto a lot of great printed stuff like Beauty, Dungeon, and that utterly bizarre alt-history/fantasy JFK series.

Also the last sagas thread put me onto Dragon Quest 11, my first DQ game. Only a couple hours in but the localization alone has been worth the price of entry.

Comics and videogames are good is what I'm saying.

That was one of the newspaper comics threads, IIRC, which was spirited away to the admin forum after a DMCA by Gary Larson's people.

That was one of the comic strip megathreads from BSS where Far Side strips needed to be removed.

Unless there's more than one archived comics thread. :confused:

The 2021 newspaper comics thread, which has been edited and restored to the regular forums. It's kind of insane to think that Gary Larson would care about that thread, but the newspaper comics threads are popular, and actually well-regarded outside of SA as a repository of old, current, and foreign comics. That's what got me interested in this place

Gary Larson has a lengthy history of not particularly liking people posting his cartoons around the internet outside of his control.

2010-Era Gary posted:

To attempt to be "funny" is a very scary, risk-laden proposition. (Ask any stand-up comic who has ever "bombed" on stage.) But if there was ever an axiom to follow in this business, it would be this: be honest to yourself and -- most important -- respect your audience.

So, in a nutshell (probably an unfortunate choice of words for me), I only ask that this respect be returned, and the way for anyone to do that is to please, please refrain from putting The Far Side out on the Internet. These cartoons are my "children," of sorts, and like a parent, I'm concerned about where they go at night without telling me. And, seeing them at someone's web site is like getting the call at 2:00 a.m. that goes, "Uh, Dad, you're not going to like this much, but guess where I am."

2019-Era Gary posted:

Okay, “scary” might be a little melodramatic, but years ago, when I slowly started realizing I had a second publisher and distributor of my work, known as Anyone With a Scanner & Associates, I did find it unsettling enough to write an open letter to “whom it may concern,” explaining — best as I could — why I preferred that the people doing this would kindly refrain. I won’t rehash it all here, but my powers of persuasion had at least some impact, and many of my fans were very understanding and responsive. Maybe it takes a warped mind to understand a warped mind. (No, seriously, my thanks to those who removed my cartoons willingly, or even begrudgingly.)

...

Finally, I also concede I’m a little exhausted. Trying to exert some control over my cartoons has always been an uphill slog, and I’ve sometimes wondered if my absence from the web may have inadvertently fueled someone’s belief my cartoons were up for grabs. They’re not. But it’s always been inherently awkward to chase down a Far Side–festooned website when the person behind it is often simply a fan. (Although not everyone is quite so uncomplicated in their motives; my cartoons have been taken and used to help sell everything from doughnuts to rodent control. At least I offer range.) So I’m hopeful this official website will help temper the impulses of the infringement-inclined. Please, whoever you are, taketh down my cartoons and let this website become your place to stop by for a smile, a laugh, or a good ol’ fashioned recoiling.
