Newgrounds has gotten so much traffic due to this that the site literally can't handle it. What an age we live in.

lol what a weeb.

It looks like Tumblr is using an automated system to detect porn. But like all modern algorithms it's just trained from data sets without any explicit instruction about what makes porn porn and so gives out a lot of false positives based on color. Anything remotely flesh colored? Obviously porn. Post in gray scale? This must be one of those hentai manga. EDIT: Source: Random people from multiple websites which aren't Tumblr and who probably don't know what the hell they're talking about.

No one wants a site to "foster more constructive dialogue among our community members." That phrase is largely meaningless anyway since "you can bitch about our policies and we'll tell you why you're wrong before we ban you" is technically a sort of constructive dialogue.

4chan.org versus 4channel.org (versus *pinkhearts* versus My Little Pony)

I'm pretty sure that literally every forum I've ever posted at has had some "secret council" posting off site. Even the ones with like ten people at their height.

Logging in sure is easy when SPUF Blue has black input boxes with black text. Typed my name wrong and had no idea.

The Jim Henson Company made a Toy Story TV show a year before Toy Story came out: (This is a spin-off of "The Christmas Toy" TV Special, which was basically Toy Story, complete with the same central conflict of a child's old favorite toy getting made at the new favorite toy, a full 9 years before Toy Story.)

Was not expecting Touhou fan music in Umineko.

This is the direction that I wish more VTubers would go, rather than dull let's plays and idolshit:

The healthy way to treat everything on the internet is as something that might accidentally be nice but will inevitably be ruined in the long run.

Recently I have become aware of the genre known as "cookie core":

Earl Grey makes good iced tea.

All you plebs not drinking gourmet imported soda.

Had a dream that Valve changed how items worked in Team Fortress 2 with the only reasoning given being that this involved "pending legal issues, which we do not discuss as a matter of company policy." The specific changes were as follows: Weapon drops, and everything created from them, are now untradable. Items purchased from the store are now untradable for one month after purchase. Keys have been removed from the store. All new crates can be opened by paying $2.50. All old crates have been removed from their user's inventories. Specific crafting recipes for weapons have been removed (this was given the explanation that they were "too confusing.") Now to craft weapons you either need to use the class token/slot token recipe, or use a new recipe where you craft six weapons together to get a random weapon.

It'd be pretty cool to be able to have a Thanksgiving where I don't have the flu. Just once every four or five years would be okay.

This channel is pretty amazing: It's apparently a chronicle of one Japanese man's brave crusade to pet every single stray cat in the world. All while hawking his ultimate cat brush and translating his titles and video descriptions into some of the most nonsensical broken English I've ever seen. His dedication to his cause is unbelievable (he uploads about 2 videos of cat petting each day, and has apparently taken several trips for the express purpose of finding cats to pet.) Even the name of the channel ("Impressed cat video") is great.

So far the most enjoyable feature of Umineko has been rapidly switching between the original and redrawn art.

Game is American. Channel is Chinese. Comments in English are from Poland. All other comments are in Russian. Truly this game brings the world together.

I'm still holding out a slim hope that the GoG releases of their games will get a patch updating them to where all the other sites are before Telltale dies. But of course that won't happen.

Big Haul of Visual Novels on GoG. And this time it's (mostly) not yuri stuff. Also Ys and Legend of Heroes on sale.
