Telling someone they suck, but they can change for better.

Þe þorn? In 2026? I’m þoroughly impressed.

Happy Cake Day I guess, I didn’t know Lemmy had this feature.

Frutiger Aero for it’s tranquility

Liminal Space for it’s eeriness but also sometimes it’s oddly comforting nature

Coastal Style for the nostalgia and tranquility

Spacecore because space is colourful & pretty

Neo Tokyo because I like pretty neon cities

I don’t all about aesthetics and it’s hard to pick just five so it’s extremely possible I’ll find a new one I like more.

I think I went to Reddit at first because of what it was, I watched a lot of Reddit “reading” videos for a while so decided to join myself, but the Reddit I wanted to join was already gone by the time I actually did join, then it got worse until I didn’t want to take it anymore, the AI got added, then the Games, that was the final straw I think.

This might be a bit of a hot take but I do visit Bluesky more than Lemmy, there’s more activity there & it’s less of an echo chamber, Bluesky still is a bit of an echo chamber I guess but not as much Lemmy can be, also some of the niches I like aren’t on Lemmy. I do hope Lemmy gets more users & Activity, it’d be a bit more comfortable to use.

So it’s basically just another instance of Youtube/Google going to extreme lengths and trying way to hard to stop alternative clients rather than just tackling the reasons why people use alternative clients, like ads & privacy?

I’m probably being too lenient but if I can still watch videos on Freetube I’m not gonna abandon it, especially not for the official client, I’m pretty sure most issues are caused by Youtube shenanigans that affect all the alternative clients, FOSS Devs have always worked around those shenanigans before, and if Youtube does succeed in breaking all alternative clients & viewing methods forever then I won’t watch Youtube videos anymore, yeah it’ll suck but I’d much rather do that than go back to using an official Google product.

What even is SABR, I, at first thought it was something the Freetube devs added to make playback more stable, but I sure I was very wrong now.

DuckDuckGo’s No AI version, but I haven’t really tried anything else, maybe that’s a show of it’s quality?

Switch to a Linux distro that doesn’t have .deb support, I can’t install it then. & if I still have to use it I guess I’ll just not use the net until the death of Microsoft, IDK if I could hold out that long but maybe with determination I could.

The joke is that hundreds & thousands wouldn’t really be “Hundreds & Thousands” if there was one, and the same goes for rainbow sprinkles wouldn’t be very rainbow if there was one, the Ultraviolet was just Cartoon silliness, the to jokes at once was because Hundreds & Thousands is a more British term to my knowledge so I did both so Anyone could get the joke.

I’m gonna put this Comic on a short Hiatus after this so I can update my ref sheets & make more characters & make a map of where the characters live, just to make the comic a bit better, hopefully, I don’t know exactly how long it’ll be but I don’t think very long.

Well I made up most of the things mentioned in this, but I might make this a character trait for Static, he just sometimes says things that sound like complete gibberish whilst acting like his friend group knows (they visibly don’t), also Meri never played the Game the Movie they watched was “based on”, and Carl & Spectrum weren’t there.

Yeah I agree it really feels like my visuals improved a lot, Kinda crazy to think I’ve come a long way even tho it’s not even been a month of comics, that’s what happens when you take constructive criticism. I think what I need to tackle now is my lack of a singular gag or joke per comic, now it feels more like a collaboration of several jokes in one comic rather than a build-up to a punchline, I think the closest I get is making a gag and then turning that into a build-up for another joke which maybe works IDK I guess it depends on the gags.

I’ll try that, I don’t think I’ll do Black outlines but ones that are like darker shades of the colour they surround. Also I don’t use GIMP.

Wouldn’t that be very at risk by AI given AI Art?

The Exclamation Point is Static( The TV Head Guy)'s reaction but Iove your of acknowledgement of “Background Chair Shenanigans” I will defo be adding more now. I haven’t done the stick figure thing but that sounds like a good idea, now I think about it I have no idea how Meri (Atlantean Gal) ended up like that.

Aah okay thanks for that, I’ll do that next strip.

Well I think this ad has done it’s job, people know this comic exists, it seems a lot of people don’t like it, but they know it exists.
