so i don't remember exactly how I made these, but at some point I decided I didn't want to read penny arcade anymore, so I edited the hosts file so I couldn't visit it anymore. after like 3 days i cracked and tried visiting the site again, and though I couldn't get to the main page, through some trickery I figured out how to jump straight to the comics page, and the comics would load, but like... weird.

i thought i had saved more of them but these three are the only ones i could find. i tried getting back onto the site to save more of them but i guess i must have edited the hosts file again because i can't seem to get back to where i had found em.

hello friend


the fact that you had to hardcode a behavioral modification lifehack into your browser is making me laugh. the comics doubly so.



thanks Dumb Sex-Parrot and deep dish peat moss for this winter bounty!

not that it's exactly a high bar to begin with, but the fact op accidentally glitched out the comics in their attempt to stop reading the comic is an interesting story.

here's a fun fuckin fact: these are actually a lot more recent than i remember! i made them April 2, 2020. Meaning I took these three screenshots, stepped away from the keyboard, and spent the next solid year thinking that i should go and capture more of these images.

it's basically the only thing that got me to stop hate reading Ask A Manager. my brain is a tricky fuckin weasel.

my old laptop came with a busted webcam. i used to take pictures with it because i loved the glitch effect. it was really cool.



Thanks to Saoshyant for the amazing spring '23 sig!

glitch art is such a great aesthetic when it's done with actual randomness. it's exactly what eno said about the medium being defined by the destruction of its limitations or w/e

it's like looking at the internet pre-2000. it might be that something was hosed up w/ your connection, it might be that the geocities page in question is hosed

it was hard to tell, and that is why 90's internet was the best. the all-encompassing magic and mystery of it all
