So it goes…

[larsdudestein]

BlueSky has been kinda slow so no reason not to start posting here again.

Been doin’ drawings off r/Redditgetsdrawn for practice and (clout)

Much of myself are failures to manifest

[larsdudestein]

I should do more on here. I just don't have a lot to post. I prefer more finished works to go up here.

[larsdudestein]

I think I'll reblog more aesthetic and interesting stuff, too, amid my rare bouts of art.

[larsdudestein]

Man I fucking wish I never deleted my old tumblr. Still kicking myself for that one. Lost my old username (and more importantly my old content)

[small, tentative voice] I... think it's good actually? If people come back here from Twitter? And new people show up? Maybe it's awesome that more people want to be gremlins again? And... maybe more people will pay money to keep the hellsite going?

Maybe don't be dicks about it? Let people come in, and give them a little raccoon mask and teach them how to have grubby little raccoon paws.

Except for the brands. We will absolutely play hopscotch in their chest cavities.

Awright. So, I don't pull the "I'm old and I've seen shit so shut up and listen" card very often, but...

[text from Twitter user evacide: "Some of you have never had your home on the internet crumble beneath you like chalk, and it shows."]

You will realize that there are people you only know in a online space, and you will realize it when that space goes dark. You won't know the size and shape of space it takes up in your head and heart until it vanishes. Those little interactions on a daily, weekly, monthly, or even occasional basis mean nothing until they're gone, and suddenly there's a weird fucking hollow space when an icon on the other end of a screen just isn't there anymore - and not just one, but multitudes are gone.

You won't understand how you're mourning just a silly website, until you realize the way your day or week flowed around it like water around a boulder in a stream. Is it better or worse? That's not the question - how different is it? And how does that difference feel?

The first time a BBS I dialed into went dark, I realized there were people I enjoyed talking with that I would never chat with again. It's like they fell off the earth. "Were they friends" is not the question - suddenly there was a thunderclap of silence because people who had been there were suddenly gone, and I knew I would never ever talk with them again.

It's just a stupid hellsite until you realize it's all people. And you're a human animal who is hardwired to notice the absence of other humans. Capitalism foundationally sucks, but it is the foundation. Good or bad, right or wrong, money goes in and hellsite comes out. If money stops, hellsite goes away. You're looking at one of the last big bastions of old-school weirdness out there. They're not offering participatory monetization like ad-free and blaze to get rich, they're doing it to keep the lights on.

Some of you have never suddenly lost a social network, and it really shows.

[larsdudestein]

"Do you know what day it is today?" A rather shite sketch I made for MGS2 day.
