Simple and clear! From now on I will answer Mafalda's questions this way!

i mean, if nothing else, how many old school webcomics are even still updating? I feel like QC is past the point where that kind of self destruction would have swamped the comic, and Megatokyo doesn't update often enough for Piro to drive it off the rails. It's just going to stop updating one day and no one will say anything in the blogs until like two years later.


Freefall has been continuously updating since 1998. There are currently 3428 strips.

I don't think it'll ever meltdown, it's too wholesome and boring.

It is currently on an arc where the protagonists are on an interplanetary flight and the author is explaining all the hard science stuff, including communication delays because of the huge distance, and the problems with weeks of isolation.

I find it fascinating. Utterly boring almost all the time. But consistently…

GitS makes the bold assumption that in the future we'll happily give computers direct access to our brains and that they'll be as secure as IoT is today. And that societal control will be enacted by the fact that everyone is connected via a network and opinion can be manipulated by just faking hundreds of thousands of participants.

Printers should all be destroyed. Only a dead printer is a good printer. gently caress printers. gently caress everything to do with printers.

Only the HP Laserjet 4 is good. It exists purely as a mockery of the entire rest of the industry.

gently caress printer vendors especially.

The above is my professional opinion and I have to problem sending this to the org wide mailing list. I hate printers so much.
