as kids, we liked those covers more than most art in that style (which we'll call Bryce3D because it's as good a label as any)... they seemed to invite us into their world, seemed to imply additional wonders just off-page. we liked to imagine what weird things gravity might do if we walked along the unusual surfaces...
somebody on here a couple months ago did some 3D re-creations of classic Trapper Keeper covers
does anybody remember who? we would like to use one as a wallpaper...
like it seems to mostly mean "if you criticize power you are definitely the one who's wrong, no matter what" when it's used in op-eds and stuff
today it's getting some play that isn't that, and that's fine, we think...
we tentatively support people coming up with an actual useful concept to attach to the label "moral hazard", though that is not how it's usually used in our experience
@QuestForTori your game was incredibly powerful for us, it really helped us draw a narrative through-line in our system's life that we hadn't been able to before
and yeah. this is WORTH fighting for. we're terrified by the tide of legislation, not gonna lie, but we know we need to fight.
The idea of the internet being used by the government to target and silence queer people is horrifying and I don’t know how to cope with it. I made a whole game about why online communities are important to trans people, so this shit is EXTREMELY important to me
Today could be Congress's last chance to stop the KIDS Act. Tell your lawmaker to vote NO on this rushed, messy package of internet bills that threatens privacy, free expression, and private messaging online. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/kids-act-would-require-age-checks-get-online
#lazyweb Please boost for the OS/2 enthusiasts... I have a copy of the Hobbes Archive just before it shut down. I believe I downloaded straight from NSMU after they froze it.
Are the Hobbes mirrors reasonably healthy nowadays? If so, I think it probably makes sense to get rid of my copy (extracted tarball).
Most of the logic of the post-2005 Internet is based around a core assumption that CDNs are cheap, plentiful, and come with no downsides. We threw away lots of technologies that could have relieved drain on servers because we assumed redundant downloads are actually better than the added complexity of averting redundant downloads. Most of the logic of the post-2005 Internet is now broken
when we discuss online community safety, we're always discussing it with the primary goal that our community, the people we know and care about, actually survive. that's the unstated assumption in everything.
intellectually of course we've always known about that privilege gap, but we usually don't feel it so keenly
we think it's the difference between a theoretical danger, and a clear and present one
it's somebody else's problem, or it's too much to think about, or it's impossible anyway so if that happens you're just gonna die and everyone will pretend you never existed, or or or...
this is us, pointedly shelving Ethics of Magic: Responsibility and Restraint and Philosophy: Power and Ethics in the two most prominent spots of the philosophy section
yes. we saw a review of Tidying up the Arcane Library which showed the title screen and said it's exactly what it looks like and you already know whether you want to play it. we are now playing it, and can confirm :D
It's telling that we keep seeing "parents' rights" and "parents' bill of rights," but never "children's rights" or "students' rights."
pattern-wise it's really more of a dress, but the character concept is that it's for doing work in, so we're sticking with the name overalls
as we expected, turning a bra into overalls was way easier than making overalls that fit. we did end up having to do a large part of the UV mapping by hand, but that's fine, we learned a ton of cool tricks for doing that precisely and systematically.
we got a nice CC0 denim texture from polyhaven, and we have it arranged how we want now
