heyyy I turned the Beta Kids’ handwriting into useable fonts!

these are very basic 60 character fonts! I will probably expand these into full fonts with numbers and special characters later (need to buy font software first). I am aware @taehyunglesbian did this in like 2012, but their fonts are no longer available for download. @rubysapphrald also did this in 2021 with all the kids and some trolls (theirs is still available for download). I wanted to try my hand at it too! Fair warning: these are somewhat anachronistic since we don’t see all the necessary letters from every kid— hence my choice of the word “reconstruction.” I will be working on Alpha Kids’ handwriting next! I haven’t found a sample from Jane, however, so pls send one to me if you find :o

you can download the fonts here !!

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

the secret cheat code for women is realizing you dont have to date men

[curseworm]

this doesnt just go for lesbians it goes for bi women and straight women too. i cant even count how many times straight women have told me “i wish i was a lesbian so i didnt have to date men” but guess what … u Dont have to date men 

[curseworm]

to be clear this also isnt necessarily saying ‘go date women instead!!’ its just saying…. u dont have to date men. u dont have to be dating women in order to not date men! in fact if ur not attracted to women at all please dont date women just as a substitute for men. but if dating men isnt making u happy… u dont have to do that. u dont have to make a space in ur life for men

[curseworm]

im singlehandedly destroying every mans mental health by telling women its ok to not date them

[deadchannelradio]

its Literally not even difficult to boycott dc comics. Just Dont Buy Their Comics. Purchasing a Comic is not a need its actually a want. You have to Go Do It. It adds no complexity to your life. You guys are like. Really embarrassing.

[deadchannelradio]

no offense (said offensively) but its like really not hard to care about black people enough to not Buy A Comic.

Boycotts are supposed to be uncomfortable they are supposed to not be easy, if you are boycotting a whole company it means that inoccent people within it will suffer the consequences your local comic shop will suffer the consequences, but who HAS to stop those consequences by relenting ITS THE COMPANY YOU ARE BOYCOTTING not the people participating from the boycott omg??? yes you were supposed to also Boycott Zatanna and New titans and that awful pride special and it was dc who was supposed to GIVE UP THEIR AWFUL RACIST WAYS.

path of achra (yes I've been on one again) is a really good example of how your "first coding project" can be fully carried into compelling game territory by being really experienced with design (which is something you can get by making wc3 custom maps)

sometimes I'm sitting there watching a million effects chain off of each other without breaking, just thinking about how cleanly this game scales for how it also features a cycle select that starts its count a number higher than the text displayed, presumably for the reason that usually happens

[toskarin]

there's something to be said about how no amount of disciplined study can impart upon you the ways in which perfectly functional games can suck, but a couple years of playing rts games and (numbers-forward) mobas will carve it into your soul. sometimes you've just gotta go "well, it's not going to be like that" and work backwards to the how

*walks into a party* so here's the deal. i'm eventually going to take a gargantuan megashit right here on the floor. a catastrophic fecalanche, just a downright fucking toilet-cracker of a heap that cannot be mitigated. everyone here has the choice to either join in forming a conveyor of little treats into my greedy foodhole to speed up the process or go home. but now that i have presented this choice, be aware that if you go home the assilisk is blowing out on your floor next. let's begin.
