contrary to popular belief i think calvin's adhd is, funnily enough, medicated. he takes extended release ritalin every morning alongside his chocolate frosted sugar bombs. this is because he appreciates being more easily able to focus on his various Schemes, Projects, and Machinations while more effectively ignoring schoolwork

calvin's dad pulling up to the house and seeing the whole driveway covered in a (completed) snowman recreation of the entire terracotta army and he takes a deep breath and greets calvin's mom with "i see calvin remembered his methylphenidate today"

This is significantly cooler than what actually happened, which was a single comic where Hobbes asks to play and Calvin says he has to finish something first and then Hobbes turns back into a stuffed animal.

You know what, fuck you, I’m gonna write a character you hate for being a piece of shit and then make you feel bad for them and then make them get better and then kill them once you get really attached to that character

Even better, the comments to this Twitter post were an absolute FIRESTORM of mostly dudes explaining to her that dials can’t only have 2 positions (not true) and that it wasn’t a very good piece (not true) that she was being disrespectful to her teacher (don’t care) and that it was a sign of her stupidity/rabid feminism/intellectual laziness/misandry/etc. that she couldn’t see any “middle ground.” It became, in its way, a performance piece. I was absolutely mesmerised, even as I wished I could cock-punch people through the internet.

Personally I hope that knob goes to 11 and stays there.

[dragonheartftherpays]

“Dials can’t have only 2 positions” is also missing the point. Even if it doesn’t have only 2 positions, the point stands that getting less of/farther away from “raging feminist” requires getting more of/closer to “complicit in my own dehumanization.” You should always be at 0% having to be complicit in your own dehumanization.

accidentally said "invasive thoughts" instead of "intrusive thoughts" today and actually I think I'm onto something. this thought does not belong here and it is harming the local ecosystem

More game devs need to understand the following concepts:

There is a finite amount of memory on any given device.

No matter how good your game is, players will want memory for other things on their devices.

Not everyone has a stable internet connection so making single player games needing an internet connection is not good.

Was going to leave this as a comment but this needs to be stated more publicly:

This isn’t the fault of game devs, it is specifically producers and executives that push for this shit, y’all are like the people telling social media managers to get back to work on the game. No one goes into game development wanting to make a shitty unplayable game, however if an executive or producer demands they add shitty features, or cuts their time short and forces them to release an unoptimized or buggy game, they can’t do shit. I get the frustration with these issues, but you’re going after the wrong people. People are hired or contracted by game studios to do a specific job, and if they don’t do it they get fired; they are not the ones deciding to make bloated games with anti consumer features and practices, they just work on what’s given to them.

[thevickylu]

You can actually get a bit more specific because “producers and executives” is a really vague term. It, like many problems in corporately owned life, is cause by middle managers, specifically project managers and their negotiations with producers. These are the people who oversee the individual developers who actually make the game and more pressingly, interface with money men like producers—and in smaller projects with customers. Now money men like producers will always squeeze out money no matter the cost it’s just how middle management works. Project managers negotiate with producers to basically make a viable product that still makes money. A good example of this negotiation is Dead Space 3. Dead Space was a pretty successful series so green lighting another was a no brainer however single player nonmicrotransaction games like the first two aren’t appealing to producers. Left unchecked a producer would’ve made Dead Space themed COD (so basically gears of war multiplayer mode) it’s the project manager who pushes back and says “dog, no” a good project manager makes dead space 2, a mediocre one makes dead space 3, and a bad one makes the bloated games OP was complaining about. Project managers have to fight back lest bad products are made but due to the “progress until the point of achieved incompetence” nature of corporate promotion we have a bunch of shit ass project managers who are weak willed.

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.

you can always tell a major breakthrough is made by a woman, a woc or any poc because it’s either completely ignored or never credited like it just happened by itself

when your art program’s closing message hits you straight in the heart and makes you stop and contemplate the state of it all

[aurosoulart]

because of the huge response to this post, I decided to make a version of the art that includes the text

I’ve also uploaded this design to INPRNT, and all sales proceeds will be donated to environmental and humanitarian charities!

this is still going around with the old dead links - please help me share this version
