I mean isn’t the thing about the Fediverse that if your host instance gets entrenched in enshittification or financial ruin then you can just leapfrog from instance to instance and have all of your old posts still online and the content and userbase of one community can be migrated to another community on another server?

Being a King Crimson fan really took me out of this episode

Somebody should really report these MAGA people for their anti-Christian biases

Sybok must not have heard this one

OP is a native of Albany, NY, where everybody refers to hamburgers as steamed hams, even when it comes to their patented family recipes. This is for when OP must meet with other people who are not familiar with the regional dialect, even those from Utica, and are preparing for an unforgettable luncheon.

I missed out every Pokémon game after Platinum since buying a new system was just too much for me to afford as a child. I gather from your username that you’re a fan of the franchise - do you have any suggestions for how to get back into the series from where I left off most cost-effectively while retaining the essential functions? Obviously, some online servers and events for certain gameplay elements are no longer available for cartridge gameplay.

Scotty: “Aye, Captain. But what’s a K and why is it wee, sir?”

Janice Rand and Spock were both part of the TOS main cast that were removed and broke that status quo, albeit with Spock it was only for most of 1 movie. When the series was being released, were there concerns about George Takei permanently leaving during his hiatus/intermittent absences?

The Uhura mindwipe annoys me, like she’d be a totally different person at the end of it and it also implies that she’s replaceable and not special if that information could just be taught to anybody. The way she pronounces the word “blue” as “bloo-ee” while relearning has influenced how I want to read “BlueSky” as “bloo-skee”.

Nomad, Starfleet HR has asked you repeatedly not to discuss people’s biological units while at work

Accidentally Intentionally

Shoutout to the creep stalking me atm to spam downvote my comments. You know you can just block me, right? Grass is free to touch

We’re queuing up people for execution by firing squad for disliking my art (this is a joke, everybody is entitled to their wrong opinions)

Copied from another comment of mine:

I was just about to go to sleep when I decided to start making these, and I woke up a bit as I got some momentum going. I was also hasty with this one in particular since I was timing myself. Here’s a version with the typo fixed

You have quite the imagination. I encourage you to put that to use in some art form or another 😊

My creative juices are out right now anyway

Assuming you’re asking in earnest:

On a surface level, the banal averageness of features. There is no artist’s style — it’s just drawn in form of the “generic web comic” genre.

On a closer level, there are inconsistencies with background details that wouldn’t occur with an actual artist’s work. If somebody was manually drawing the background digitally, they would likely copy and paste the assets to both be consistent and to work efficiently (without a compromise to the work itself). The door and shelf of bottles behind the Helium change between frames, for example. If an artist were drawing this with physical pen and paper, they would care enough to meticulously recreate the bottles between frames if they were even going to include them with that much detail at all.

The text itself is also revealing. Not only is it inconsistent in size, boldness, and centering (ex. from one He to another), but the words spoken by the bartender are running out of space in the speechbubble. Artists can make mistakes like this in their publications, but consistently making errors that a quick lookover would catch shows that the “creator” of the content just wants it made, rather than it made well.
