… as if I needed more reasons to hate Microsoft:

"Microsoft knowingly provides Israel with technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), that is deployed to facilitate grave human rights violations, war crimes, crimes against humanity (including apartheid), as well as genocide."

That reminds me, support for Windows 10 is ending soon, and there's a movement to replace it with Linux distros:

Microsoft

Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T NEED COMPLICATED #CSS CODE TO MAKE YOUR WEBSITE USE DEVICE SPECIFIC LIGHT OR DARK MODE AND IT'S JUST A FUCKING META TAG IN #HTML !?!?!  

I'm working on a pure HTML website for a game that I'm making, so it's nice to know that I can avoid any bloat like plague. Besides some embedded YouTube videos for trailers and progress updates.

How did I discover it? I looked at the source of this website:
https://justfuckingusehtml.com

This changes everything!

Just fucking use HTML

Stop reinventing the wheel. The web was doing just fine before your bloated frameworks crawled out of the sewer.

After 25 years, Issue 329 of the Linux Format magazine will be their very last. While this magazine predates my existence as a human, I have read some of their issues and they were one of the few magazines I genuinely enjoyed reading.

Farwell and thanks for your service.

Second episode of #AveMujica didn't do anything to improve the opinion I made of this #anime series. It's rushed, characters are shallow, there simply was no time to get to know them before this whole mask drama unfolded, to the point it becomes an annoying meme that they keep repeating. It reminds me of Kouya no Kotobuki: flashy graphics, loud sounds, hot girls and absolutely no content
Watching #AveMujica #anime because everyone online said it's the best and... it sucks? Only watched ep.1 so far but it's not making any sense to me. Music is good, animation is just 3D computer graphics, story is all over the place.

@bimshwel You know it wasn't until I looked at the tags that I realised I was RIGHT when my first thought was "...waaaait a second are these from those old point and click games about goblins?? weren't there three of them? And the names kept increasing the number of i's in them, but decreasing the number of goblins you played as?"
@Nine There was also "Woodruff and the Schnibble," made directly afterward and functioning quite similarly. They have a distinctive sort of look to them and I have difficulty adapting distinct styles so I made them as on-model as possible.
And now there are an additional three goblin games from the same artist and I felt it imperative to finally do something about that.
@bimshwel so, there's SEVEN goblins games now?! Oh dang that's a surprise! Very very cool though. I only had a demo of the second one I think but it definitely left an impression on me ^^
@Nine in a sense, though 6 is still in production and woodruff only counts unofficially. I have been rather late catching up on the newer ones.
@bimshwel whoa, Woodruff is such a core childhood memory for me! Lovely drawing!
@karpour Thank you! I don't think I played it until the mid-2000s, and only did it properly roundabout 2014, but I still was able to appreciate it similar to how I had its predecessors closer to when they were released.
