Welcome to Ms. Angel's Class!

A place where I speak my mind on topics that are important to me, such as feminism, love, friendship, sexuality, video games, cute things, writing, literature, education, and various other topics. i hope to inspire (good) change in the world. Happy Reading! :)

I don't read IDW, but I remember people talking about how Sonic bought a sundress that Blaze seemed interested in (which happened to be blue) in an issue where they spend time together. Then they released this official art that references that issue. Blaze also wears a bracelet made of seashells, which was revealed to have been made by Cream.

Needless to say, this art is pretty much Sonaze material even if Sonic isn't there. The wind, the sundress, and the sunflowers surrounding her are all very suggestive symbols.

Blaze is wearing two gifts from the two most important people in her life.

abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them

Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.

op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.

for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.

so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.

#there is so much abandonware just...out there being used and carefully maintained#because nothing quite replicates the functionality

I did 100% of the imaging and analysis for my doctorate on a machine running Windows 95. I did not have a choice about this, that's just what my microscope's software ran on.

Whatever, obsessed with the fact they both lean in to press their heads against each other in this scene. Something something Asgore actually indulging in comfort he is given instead of simply rolling along to accomplish his goal to see the dark fountain here

[ms-angels-class]

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”

I think this is Asgore learning that he can accept the love of others even if he doesn’t think he deserves it. He shows the flowers lots of love and care; they’re only trying to reciprocate. I don’t think he understoood that prior to this scene.

Asgore learned that his family didn’t blame him or stop loving him when he lost his job, but he did not think he deserved their love and support, so he did not accept it from them. I think that part of his obsession with learning everything he can about the dark world comes from feeling like he needs to prove he’s worthy of love.

I hope he understands that he’s enough just as he is.
