4chan dying is a very good thing, actually. Its insipid userbase will no doubt flock elsewhere, but whatever comes next is not going to have the infamy and cultural saturation of 4chan. May they rot!

I have just literally just realised, at the age of 38, twenty years hence having played Knuckles Chaotix, thirty years hence reading Return of Chaotix in Sonic the Comic, that Espio is a play on the word "espionage".

I watched the first Calliope Mori concert and it is actually amazing.

Hahaha, the Sonic scan upscale guy is saying the AI was to avoid “compression issues” in changing .cbz to .pdf, which is like… why even say that when literally everybody who knows anything about cbz files will immediately go “hang on, that’s made-up bollocks”.

I guess the tl;dr of all that gumph I just posted is - if I posted with the total and complete courage of my conviction 100% of the time I would very quickly never work again. You want me going full bore Gipp, you can join my Patreon or the Gippscord. Thanks x

Also, this. When I wrote about “getting it in the neck” earlier I was writing from the easy mode perspective of a white dude. I barely get any truly personal shit from people and I still found the occasional weekends when I was the main character of the old site because I said “Game bad” unbearable.

Agree entirely with this, though there are a number of factors that disincentivise this kind of criticism, especially when reviewing stuff for SEO-focused outlets - it has cost me work in the past - and with exceptions where it may be more helpful to readers to make that distinction.

Just to put this out there... I don't know what their usernames are these days, but Ezekiel and Pennywise's scans done in 2002-3???ish?? are pretty much the _only_ reason we can still read these comics... barring spending £100s on eBay for the originals, I mean. Wherever you guys are, thank you! ❤️

I see that the guy who tried to charge money for scans of Sonic the Comic via an app has now uploaded AI upscales of the first 100 issues to a new website and is attempting to solicit donations for what is quite plainly other peoples' work.
