I always mouse draw because I don't have a tablet and am also lazy and uncaring. Those look pretty good imo tho. I like using thicker lines for mouse drawin' personally.

tyvm. I wish I could wrap my head around computer specific facets of digital illustration like line thickness and dpi level or that sort of thing but alas my dumb brain never wants to absorb any of it for very long ):

Social media has completely destroyed people, everybody's always angry about something and it's not fun. I'm old school internet and will always be old school because the current poo poo sucks and I just unload absolute garbage into facebook. I love the drawings, you guys rock!

This forum is like the 1964 Rambler I had as my first car. Legally the back seat didn't need seatbelts because it was grandfathered in when the law was made. The front seat went all the way back to make a bed, but I am a late bloomer and didn't have sex when I had it in high school. I loved the car because it was old. Eventually the water pump went on it and I couldn't find one, which I assume is whats going to happen to this website too one day

No.

Lowtax will ascend and become a cyborg, and this site will go on forever.

And on my deathbed I will post a banme as it is written in the books.

Lowtax I hate to say it but if you wanna win big in this economy you gotta cash in on what’s hot:
1. Loot crates
2. Gatcha games

Now I would suggest that for every post you make you generate 1 loot point. When you get one hundred you get a loot crate which you can only open by paying for a loot key. This will let you open the loot crate and reap the hefty rewards inside (80% chance of red text on yourself calling you an idiot, 10% of self forums cancer on post, 5% of hellbanning and 5% chance of free avatar but ONLY from a pre defined list of avatars which you have to unlock.)
Now! This is where the money rolls in, since to get more avatars in your av roster you gotta buy the other type of loot crate, and the keys from that you get randomly by submitting to photoshop threads. The system works baby And the money and quality work photoshop content roll in.

Anyway, make me Idiot king of every forum and give me a 25% cut of all the takings and the ideas yours!!!

(Please don’t actually do this)

My first car was a 1981 Mini and it had no power brakes, power steering, a lovely aftermarket tape deck, 39hp, and was by far the funnest car I've ever driven, including "fun to drive" cars AI nerds all backslap each other about.

I seriously believe forums are like that Mini - they are funner for what they lack and most of the "improvements" forced into everything since then have had significant drawbacks. E.g. cars aren't 10 feet long anymore and are harder to park and jeff bezos knows all about the five pound bag of sugar free gummy bears you tried to give your friends diarrhea with and also knows how often, and where, you piss in Whole Foods locations through a monthly-subscription priority pissing app, I am not making that up.

I'd go so far as to suggest that there may be a trickle back as people eventually decide, as I have, that other forms of social media aren't worth the tradeoff - invasion of privacy, marketization of identity, etc.

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
Huh weird

Way way back I read up on art posted online. I saw that Reddit owns it boom, and Imgur's fine print said they did too.

But SA DID NOT do that, it wasn't posted anywhere. I even pmed with some guys that made it big with some Shakespearean thing and they said SA was cool that way, you still retained ownership of art you posted on the forums.

Very interesting :thunk:

This is why I've always been addicted to this site, and that's because of how you built and maintained it. You post a lot of funny stuff on facebook and it's unfortunate you can't post on twitter or here without some angry weirdos coming at you. Maybe you're oversensitive to that kind of thing but you're not imagining it.

FOR THE EMPEROR

 It is the 21st Millennium. For more than a few years Lowtax has sat immobile on the Ceramic Throne of Somethingawful. He is the master of manchildren by the will of the people giving him tenbucks and master of (you could argue) , maybe a few thousand people by the might of his inexhaustible goons. He is a middle aging man writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of comedy. He is the crippled Lord of the biggish Somethingawful forum for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that comedy may never truly die.Yet even in his crippled state, Lowtax continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty goon brigades cross the chud-infested miasma of the net, the only route between distant sites, their way lit by the.. Stairs? , the regretted catchphrase of the Lowtaxs will. Dozens of goons give shitpost in His name on a couple of forums. Some non embarrassing goons amongst are the Great unwashed.. the GBS auperstars , bio-degraded keyboard-warriors. Their comrades in arms that are (more like were) legion: the rest of the forums and countable on one hand.. the sub forums, the ever-viglant mods and the poo poo-posters of the crew forums to name only a few. But for all their multitudes? , they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat to comedy from drama bombs, serious business, chuds -- and far, far worse. To be a goon in such times is to be one amongst a.... few dozen? . It is to live in the silliest and most funny forum imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of common sense and reason, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned. Forget the promise of fun and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only the shitposting. There is no peace amongst the web, only an eternity of pointless drama and flamewars, and the laughter of thirsting bots."
