@tk yeah, seattle has gotten pretty unpleasant. :-/ very sad.
@finn :) thank you!
@isagalaev sorry man. :(
Me, on my tinfoil hat:
News this morning said that if Russia invades Ukraine, the first could be left out of the Swift, a system for global bank transactions.
Now, let's imagine that, for whatever reason and for whatever action, Russia gets accused of invading Ukraine. That means that no money transaction from or to Russia from around the globe will be possible.
BUT, AFAIK, Russia still have some big crypto bros, and that could translate in Russia being a massive crypto investor in the future.
@finn can I help get the images working again?
@Canageek @Nezchan @anthracite @celesteh
thats the big time, dang.
@Canageek @Nezchan @anthracite honestly this year/last year I've gotten into "the comics" ie dc and marvel some, and it makes me itchy to do my own thing, something more interesting to a middle aged guy, rather than power fantasies of violence...
@Nezchan @Canageek @anthracite I used to have like 10? 20? comics I read daily. just absolutely fell in love with the medium.
but they also were targeted at kinda the college kid demographic/interests, and I aged out of it.
oy, I feel old now lol.
@Canageek @anthracite @Nezchan honestly my take is that a ton of early webcomics were knocked together by college kids on a lark or other ultrahobbiests

and then early megatokyo was just blech
so that informs a lot of color choices and preferences. I always love going through a webcomic and watching the art style firm up and develop. :)
@Canageek that's a VERY 90s color scheme there. it was in the cultural water.
there's probably several lineages of early webcomics that can be traced, I'd guess. Punk zine style, Marvel/DC style, and anime style are how I think things go.
IDK. There's probably some super rich anthropological material there describing the cultures of the time.
@wilfredh interesting. That's precisely what I *want* in general.
@raye they have to schedule an appointment
