Raison d'être

The backstory reminds me of this.

But really though, I can understand because my last name is always mispronounced because it's French, and often then misspelled because of it. A few of my awards from elementary school even have the wrong spelling. People who I don't know well don't know any better but the people I DO know know damn well what they're doing but they do it anyway because it's funny to them, which in my humble opinion is a vile anti-French hate crime that should be punished severely.

Sorry to hear that, Medich.

Don't worry, being late makes it just like a real TF2 update.

At least Hi-rez is pretty on-top of fads but Valve takes their sweet-ass time. Speaking of chasing after fads, Overkill's The Walking Dead came out (along with its first DLC two weeks later) and it doesn't seem to be doing well since their parent company Starbreeze filed for Swedish Chapter 11 a few days ago. And then had their offices raided because of insider trading. I still can't believe they wasted away the money printer that was Payday 2, but they certainly tried to replicate it since they made the same damn game 3 times (Payday 2, Raid: World War II, and TWD). They're publishing that too, if they stick around long enough.

A Genuine Candy Cane... the best gift you could get.

I'm still not convinced extremists of either stripe are that big of an advertising market, at least not big enough to risk alienating moderates. But at the end of the day tumblr's the one with the data (I mean I hope they collected data on this), so we'll have to wait and see whether or not they took the right path.

No Western company is going to view having Kikekiller1488's swastika gallery next to their product as a net positive, ever, under any circumstances. The whole thought of tumblr/Verison sitting down and saying "You know, porn is too much but politics and race war seems like a really good choice for our advertisers" is just insane. If you pulled a hundred executives into a room and told them their product could be associated with either pornography or nazism you would get 100 votes for porn. But even if it were the same, which it ain't, the potential gained revenue from the devoted nazis of tumblr (one hell of a phrase that is) is probably 1/1,000th at best of the potential revenue gained from the horny people of tumblr.

Extremist politics is probably the only thing less advertiser-friendly than porn, and suits know this. Good to see tumblr's going down the way they lived, pointing and sputtering at the 20 or so blogs getting deleted and being remade by the same 4chan trolls from the tumblr invasions. It's such a shit platform though, even in general. But for art it's especially bad.

Pixiv is alright but damn navigating that site makes me feel like I'm wading through a jungle and I don't know where I'm going at all. Twitter? For artists? Why not just upload your fucking art as a 5 second Youtube video, be about the same. Well actually it'd be better because Youtube doesn't have infinite scrolling.

I'm glad they're doing well, I still visit from time to time just to play old games. Can't pulp the Fulp, baby. Now all we need is Andkon Arcade to come back.

Probably not ever in that specific PR-speak, but even then the sentiment is probably only present in subjects neither party cares about. "Facts don't care about your feelings" is a popular Ben meme but the opposite "Feelings don't care about your facts" is much more true and much more relevant.

It's time for a conversation (on why I'm right and you're wrong). In my mind tumblr has always meant porn and crazy people and bad design. Take away the porn and it's SPUFpo just about any other site on the web.

Vaguely. Man the first year or so of this forum was crazy. I blame Ikea boy.

Will Spufpowered become advertiserland or pornland? Choose our destiny, friends.

Apparently tumblr is banning naughty pictures now. That's like Playboy cutting out the babes to run more articles by Hugh Hefner about progressive taxation, I mean who the hell asked for that? Oh well, time to be stricken from the register.

Man, that got me thinking about SubSPUF history and reminded me of the Pootis Poster invasion. What a good time. Helpfully, I made a thread about it back then in case any noobies would ever want to know what happened in a situation just like this one. Good job past me, you're really smart. But holy shit you're an asshole (though not particularly in that thread), why did anyone here want you around? And here's the original thread, too. Depending on your point of view, it's either a shame or a blessing that I can't show the furry porn Sampson Option.

You're not missing anything. We just shittalked people we didn't like, like this one retard, what was his name? hugthebed...3... yeah, that's it.

Well, I'm pretty sure he's dead for good this time.

George Bush died. The "no new taxes" one, not the 9/11 one.
