RE: Hard Drive making a racist ass post mocking Itagaki dying it’s so crazy how there’s this major slice of games media and development that still hold onto the Adam Sessler/G4 era of outright disdain/blatant racism towards Japanese games and their devs and it’s wild

Itagaki was a true creative. He believed in his art. Even if his work didn't resonate with you personally, his passion for what he was making is inspirational and something we should all aspire to.

This post makes fun of how he looks because that's all the writers at Hard Drive can do, apparently.

I've been wondering about what the rival dialogue could've been between the Werehog and the other characters... What could've been...
(also a callback to my older Unleashed gag comic xP)

Panel 1
Sonic: Alright! Let's go! I'm gonna kick your guys'-

Panel 2
Jet: SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU HAD A FURSONA/1 BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Sonic: N-No!!! It's not like that at all!!!

Panel 3
Shadow: You can't deny it, Sonic. He's right here. In front of all of us.

Sonic: Knock it off...

Panel 4
Cheese: Chao, chao!

Cream: Well, I think he's nice!

Panel 5
Sonic; If I had two nickels...*

There’s a free application, shutup10++, that lets you disable all the shitty windows stuff with a series of checkboxes.
It even tracks if windows rolls anything back between updates and lets you reverse the changes with a click.
I can personally recommend shutup10++ if you need to stick with windows

At the end of the day, too many people on the internet *need* hate in their lives and on their feeds, even seemingly sane people. Because they themselves are filled with so much hate it justifies it.

That or they're non America, to which they just don't care and stay on twitter anyways.

absolute craziest defense i saw in regards to twitter sucking is that it's at least "honest" about it hating trans people as if it's supposed to be normal that literally any popular post by an open trans account just eventually becomes loaded with dehumanizing replies.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.
