Posting into the void.

Inspired by the weird mix of Sonic, Amy Rose, and gun posts that have been flooding my timeline for some reason, I made this last night. 🔊

I had an idea for a cool animation, set to "Ich Warte" by Einstürzende Neubauten, but I don't have the skill to pull it off.

.@comics_cross, a thing got delivered recently.

Happy New Year.

@DEDloc_ @Pirat_Nation Is the market saturated though?

DDR4 may be half the price of DDR5, but it's still double the price it was 6 months ago. Maybe that's because of FUD though, idk.

Regardless, extending AM4/LGA1700 life may be the best we consumers can expect for a while.

Wanna know a secret?

Every contractor has a regular price and a cash price. Not every contractor will tell you their cash price, but they do have one, and the price is always lower if you pay in cash.

Do with that information what you will.

@Pirat_Nation Meanwhile, in China.

Isn't it strange how, just as people's frustration with the government's unwillingness to do anything about the current scandal reaches its zenith, a new scandal drops to distract everyone? Curious.

@JDVance If only there was someone in a position to do something about it, but alas...

Btw, I hope the tariffs are working out, because nobody is paying their taxes next year. lol

[Flit @FlitAmarant]

@Joshua_Hughes19 Yeah. Pretty much.

Gen Z isn't a lost generation, it's a generation with nothing to lose. Big difference.

Some indie comic writer is typing up a Kickstarter/IndieGoGo pitch as we speak.

Sakasagami no Yura (Inuyasha) is peak character design.

@WindowsLatest At this point, I have to believe this is some kind of purposeful sabotage or controlled demolition of Windows as a product.

@Joshua_Hughes19 Are you viewing via the app or browser? If browser, which one? Because I'm almost positive now it's some kind of display issue with Gecko-based browsers (e.g. Firefox, LibreWolf). Everything looks normal using Brave. Just weird that only certain images appear really dark.

[Flit @FlitAmarant]

Some pics I upload appear way darker than they do when viewed locally.

I thought maybe the colors change during the upload process due to compression, format change, or web display, but if I re-download a "dark" pic and view it locally, the colors are normal again.

Weird. 🤔

[Flit @FlitAmarant]

It's not just my pics either.

I saw Sandy Petersen's recent pic of his turtle, Denethor. It, too, is really dark when viewed via twitter, but if I dl the pic and view it locally, it's much lighter.

Maybe it's an issue with my display, or color profile, or Linux being Linux. 🤔

[Flit @FlitAmarant]

A little dancing goblin gif I made in GIMP. Pretty sure I've never posted it here.

[Flit @FlitAmarant]

I know this sounds like retarded new age hippie bs, but I've seen it enough times to be convinced it's real.

There's a reason why the colors of the dead in artistic depictions are often slightly desaturated and the eyes are colored flat and/or without a light reflection.

[Flit @FlitAmarant]

Idk how to explain this. Living things give off a visible energy--light, aura, something. It's subtle, & you may only notice if you've ever been present at the moment of death. The body dulls; the eyes darken. These aren't poetic descriptors. It's a real, observable phenomenon.
