The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Wow I'm rusty (also only just started learning leverless).

I should remind everyone in these update times that I have not played properly in like a year, and did not reach celestial when I did, do not take my balance opinions seriously lol. I'm just here for the love of the game.

This might be the nerf patch, but I feel like a lot of initial reactions forgot that this is still ultimately guilty gear lmao.

Oh my god I didn't even consider that the new ky move would let him kara into super, that's cool as hell.

I swear to god to all of the other Faust mains who where dooming, HE LOOKS SO SICK NOW.

I want to point out that this is the second time there have been gas leaks about Strive IB being made easier because of how much it happened in prerelease footage. Apparently the guys they have doing the gameplay for previews are just built like that lol.

"Alright, so who's getting nerfed this patch?"
"YES."

Wow arcsys really saw the growing preference for nerf heavy patches in fighting games and said "BET," huh?

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u

A lot of people really need to learn there is more to storytelling than "all the puzzle pieces fit together." Like not every piece of media you consume needs to put everything together in neat little bow for you to easily digest without thought.

I think Shonen fans might actually just be illiterate at this point lmao.

Finally got to catching up on Chainsaw Man. My honest hot take? Part 2 is definitely weaker than Part 1, BUT the ending and last 20 or so chapters are actually the STRONGEST point in Part 2 for me.

She's actually bedfaust. They've done it. They've made the perfect character. I WIN

I LOVE SCREEN POLLUTION!!!

The Marvel Tokon version of Peni Parker is one of the most me coded characters I've seen in a bit, I'm SO DOWN.

Arcsys was actually so real for this.

It's never not gonna be funny to me how one the reasons they added Unika as a major character is so transparently "Shit, Bridget is now by far our most popular character, but she has zero story relevance. What should we... wait, I have a solution, YURI!!!"

Every other fighting game company RN: "You all dislike this mechanic and want reworks? To bad, suck it up bitch, this is our game."
Meanwhile, Arc System Works:

Well gooseworx... certainly is creating an animated series. #tadc

It turns out my usual hyper-cynicism is uniquely suited to retaining my sanity while the world burns around me. While everyone's freaking out my default response to a lot of the bad news lately, both in politics and my hobbies has been "honestly I expected worse."

Image of Tumblr thread Initial Post: Being a pessimist is great, I'm always either right or pleasantly surprised Response: That's a very optimistic way of looking at pessimism.

My general mental state for the past year or so can be best summed up by this old tumblr post.

I'm rooting for Strive 2.0 so much right now, imagine how funny it would be if ARCSYS of all companies was the one with a not shit patch.

I've just got back into the community and the fgc is immediately self-destructing again, lmao.

This is the most interested I've been in the Bulbasaur line in YEARS.

It's crazy, HLVRAI2 tomorrow, Steel Ball Run on the 19th, TADC episode 8 on the 20th, Arc World Tour and proper Guilty Gear Strive 2.0 news on the 20th-22nd. Everything I'm excited for just decided to drop in the span of like, a week, for some reason.

As hinted in the previous art post, I've finally got a decent tablet with a good stylus, so I can actually start learning digital art.

Anthropomorphic fennec fox girl wearing a hoodie, a crop top, a skirt, and ankle socks. She has 6 ears, 3 on each side of her head. Image in black and white.

Actually drew my fursona, finally. She's a fennec fox with slight axolotl traits (not pictured because I normally draw in black and white, but her fur is pink).

2026 hyperfixation update:
Expanding on the TTRPGs, big fan of World of Darkness (especially Mage), Pathfinder, Exalted, and Cyberpunk
The long repressed Homestuck part of my brain has reawakend.
The forbidden plant lady pet play tomes (if you know, you know ;3 (I'll try to leave that off main lol))

I haven't been on here for a about a year. I'm finally really properly considering posting some of my art and writing online finally, so I thought it would be good to start using this account again. Also I'm now substantially less depressed, so that's nice. What have y'all been up to?
