@Doephin Ooooh, that one burns. "Guess you had to have been there" isn't just the antithesis of documentation, it's downright insulting!

@hystericempress Yeah, that one always rankles, especially when I see it on something with real money behind it. "Bug fixes and stability improvements" turns out to cover everything from "oops fixed an off-by-one error" to "removed functionality to prepare for the launch of the deluxe product and also added to the list of ad servers".

To clarify:

I understand that software development is often long, difficult, and thankless. I especially sympathize with smaller projects where only a couple folks are working on them and documentation is low-priority. There are legit reasons for the existence of all these types of changelogs.

Except the Discord one. Cut that crap out.

When perusing the changelog for a software update, which is most aggravating?

me: "Context is overrated."

not me: "Why do you say that?"

me: *shrug*

@Leucrotta We're so far exhausted from all this – and the work yet to be done – that exuberance wil have to wait for our energy to recover at least a little. Even then, everyone I know with cPTSD is still gonna be vigilant for shit to go further wrong. You're not wrong for not feeling like celebrating. *hugs*

As a cybernetic being, your choice of surface finish is:

windows: there's lots of things you can't put into filenames
linux: there's lots of things you shouldn't put into filenames

me: "Hey, I'm in a reasonably good mood and I wanna switch things up in a fun way. I think today's randomized Link to the Past will be a swordless run!"

randomizer: "I'm gonna make this the most agonizing run possible!"

Even my hobbies are mocking me.

Introducing Hetzels! The heteronormative pretzels!

Hey fellows, tired of those bent-with-a-twist, decidedly unstraight pretzels ruining the big game?

[CUT TO: a bearish football dad looking disappointedly at a big bowl of pretzel twists, covered with a big red "X" graphic, buzzer]

Well, try new HETZELS!

[same dad and two of his buddies, eagerly licking the salt and nibbling the tip of a big long cylindrical pretzel--dad gives a big smile and thumbs-up--green check mark, DING!]

I am a very big fan of how the title screen for Turrican is directly lifted from a Manowar album cover

@hystericempress I've scraped off all the icky parts of the MLP fandom so I can just enjoy the whole small-horsey-unicorn thing without all that baggage. It's been genuinely therapeutic!

Tomorrow's Monstergirl-tober drawing is "centaur" and it's gonna be hard not to just draw this exactly.

I think this is from the 30's? It's so so gay I can't get over it.

I like the motto of this mushroom catalogue I have. "Proud to be part of this rotting world"

furry artists rec request: robotic 

Once it's practical for me to do so, I'd love to place a commission or two of me in cybernetic form. Any suggestions for artists who might be able to pull off a good, sleek look? I know of Strype's work - I'm thinking something of that kind, able to convey synthetic grace and elegance of lines. (They'd have to know how to draw leporines, needless to say)
