Okay. I didn’t mean it, I swear!
In all seriousness, þanks for the information.

Yeah, I’ve seen people write essays to Sxan. It’s wild how much they want to dictate others’ behavior.

I love the whole thorn thing, but I do wish to see ð incorporated in its correct usage.
Like, “Þey’re” should be “Ðey’re.” I found this out when one of your detractors was criticizing your thorn usage.
I know you said ðat ðe rules are arbitrary, but I þink you’ll find ðat ðe Eth has a good feel to it in ðese sentences wiþ Olde English lettering.
Just my two cents. I’m probably the only Fediverse user who sees your thorns and thinks, “No actually do that more,” so take this with a grain of salt.

By all means, check out the lyrics of some popular rock songs from the late 80s. I think you’ll find the pedophila vastly underrepresented.
Now, that’s not to say songwriters like Steven Tyler didn’t exist, but a large part of the lyricism you’re talking about is from around a decade or more earlier.
On the age of consent, I’ll give you this: they’re definitely weird in Georgia. Georgia’s age of consent was 14 until 1995.
However, the kids in the Losers Club were 11 in the first part of IT, which is still below even that threshold. With the exception of Georgia, the age of consent in America has been at least 16 since 1920. Plus, 23 states actually set their age of consent at 18 back then as well.
Maybe it was a little less weird in 1986 than it is now, but it was still far from the cultural norm. That’s all.

Most of voters who support him are in genuine denial that he’s a pedophile. It’s ridiculous, but it doesn’t change the fact that they also hate pedophilia - they’re just being conned into thinking queer people are the pedos.

In 1986 though? Pretty sure we had our cultural view on child gangbangs locked in by then.

It’s just a lack of teaching these younguns how to act right. Common sense is out the window.

- Comment on Why was Newgrounds like this in the 2000s? 1 week ago:
Flash, and by extension Newgrounds, let young people create their own art and publish it en masse.
I don’t know about you, but from my experience a lot of young adults find a lot of humor/intrigue in adding adult themes to media primarily for children. You see this in all the “cursed video game” creepypastas, too. Similarly, I know we all know the song about fucking shooting that bastard Barney dead where he stands.
Children’s media is intentionally sanitized, and teenagers are intentionally rebellious. They’re going to think it’s hilarious if Dora the Explorer says, “Fuck.”
My main problem I have is with the people who never let that trend die. I saw people making edgy content like that well into the 2010s. The only one I really cared for from that era was Sonic for Hire.

Maybe in German. It comes across as so odd in English.

I was probably in a much more toxic space on the internet, at the time.

I think that was Ted Bundy. Dahmer was more of an outcast, IIRC.

I guwss that’s the same reason that the Dahmer show did so well: they made their bleach blond weirdo kinda good looking.

Yep, he played a weird nerd in Bandersnatch and people were mad he wasn’t phuckkable.

If you can emulate PSP games with ease, check out GTA Chinatown Wars. I just wanted to see how the game played one evening, and I ended up beating it in a couple days.
It has a drug dealing mechanic, and you have to crash cop cars to lose stars. Extremely unique and fun GTA.
- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 3 weeks ago:
You already have an insanely good library. You could probably play for the rest of the year on those games alone. In addition to what you have here, I’d recommend:
Alien Hominid Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance Burnout series Def Jam: Fight for NY Destroy All Humans 1 & 2 Devil May Cry Godfather, The GTA Vice City Stories & Liberty City Stories (NOT ON PC) GUN Hitman: Blood Money Jak & Daxter series Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Marvel vs Capcom 2 Need For Speed Underground & Hot Pursuit series Onimusha: Warlords Psychonauts Ratchet & Clank Series Rayman 2 Resident Evil 4 Red Dead Revolver Sly Cooper 1 & 3 (1 & 3 are probably my favs) Shadow of the Colossus Silent Hill 2 & 3 Simpsons Hit & Run SoulCalibur II Spider-Man 2 (phenomenal free roam) Star Wars Battlefront I & II Super Monkey Ball Deluxe Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 Twisted Metal: Black
FWIW, the original PS2 versions of the GTA games that are also on PC are actually better because they removed content as licenses expired. Unless you have the downgraded PC versions - in which case, godspeed.
Even then, I usually stick with PS2 as PC doesn’t have support for the analog face buttons that the PS2 had. I don’t know if you can emulate that on Steam Deck, but if you play PS2 GTA San Andreas with an OEM controller, pressing the button harder actually does make you go faster. It’s magic, and I find it hard to play without now. 😅
I look forward to seeing how the Deck holds up with some of these titles! I’ll admit, I’ve been thinking about getting it to use as a portable PS2 myself.

Ugh, I have too much to play in my backlog already. I’ll probably pick up one game that I want to play eventually, maybe Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon.
I’ve been playing Outer Worlds, though, so I’m saving up for the 2nd one just in case it’s good. Given Avowed’s release, my hopes aren’t high. However, the first game is so perfectly average that if they can just

So fucking true. People ask questions on forums and social media to talk to other people. So many have forgotten the entire purpose of this whole thing.

It’s really gotten to the point where there’s no dogwhistly way to say what they’re saying. They’re just being blatant psychotic racists.
- Comment on Cavity City 1 month ago:
Because it’s so fucking impressive from a technical level.
John Kricfalusi is insane (and a groomer). He actually got fired from Ren and Stimpy for two reasons. The first being “creative differences” (read: dude, why are you putting so much sex and shock humor into this kids’ cartoon?), and the second being a failure to meet deadlines.
That failure to meet deadlines was due to the fact that he would make animators work for days on just a few frames. If it didn’t look exactly right, if one line was off about it, it got sent back and redone.
I don’t really think R&S is the funniest show, and they certainly go out of their way to make you not want to look at it, but fuck it is gorgeous from a technical standpoint.
- Comment on What is it called when you believe the U.S. political parties shouldn’t exist? 1 month ago:
You know, I don’t think there is a term.
So, I’ll coin it: Washingtonism.
Our first President famously advised against political parties. He also stepped down after two turns, establishing a tradition that later became part of the Constitution after FDR won his third term.
He also had slave teeth.
