Hey everyone, so I was told it would be for the best to make a new thread and that's what I'll do. I'll upload some updated artwork too and some other stuff that I'm sure you'll like
Old OP:
Sup everyone, for a while I've been working on this comic idea and I would like to share some stuff I've been cooking up for it.
The setting is in Mexico City and the protagonist is a working-class, Nahua girl, living in a working-class neighborhood. This comic will explore issues regarding gentrification, child labor, systemic violence, class struggle, and different kinds of discrimination. Think of it as a social commentary and slice-of-life comic.
Sadly, I'm drawing this on my free time in between work and my studies, so the process is slow, but I'll try to release the first chapter sooner than later.
Here are the character sheets of the three protagonists, I posted them in the previous thread but they are now all complete and updated. Also, a neat drawing I did some time ago as an extra.
Finally, I will try to do the comic both in English and Spanish.

In the 70s, 80s and 90s anime was almost a youth movement. In the Philipines, Voltes V was a symbol against the Marcos Regime and was banned because of this. Gundam inspired millions, it caused massive quasi-political rallies of young people who followed the show's idea of a new generation building things better. The police literally had to shut this down. Then by the 2000s there was Haruhi and so on which, if maybe not so political, really did get people out onto the streets and again got the police called on them. Conventions were a serious culture. Even if anime at this point was really inbred, it still brought people out. But nowadays there's no such thing. It's not really that subversive or exciting. Conventions go on but they aren't like what they were (no yaoi paddles). We do still get like loads of children wearing Demon Slayer cosplay but it's not like Yamato. There's this energy that just isn't there anymore.
Perhaps this is because in Japan itself the street movement has died down and become so neutered? It's sort of related to how anime has lost its left wing creators. The people working in the 80s grew up in a really radical time where socialism and anti-imperialism were normal and most people directly interacted with that crowd. Naturally, even if works weren't explicitly socialist, the attitude was reflected. Nowadays that political movement is completely dead. Radicalism is hated in modern Japan. Serious topics are still covered in progressive ways, but something is lost. I don't know, lets take season 2 of GITS SAC where Hideo Kuze is just openly right, the show tells you he is correct. And then in Psycho Pass which is only 10 years later but with a completely different set of people making it who have a different philosophy (the director only really started working in the 2000s), the bad guy just does bad things and is a psychopath, and then the only reasonable option is to uphold the system when given a chance to change it. Maybe the issue here is just GITS is much better written, but I think this can explain a sort of change in anime.
It's not that radicalism can't be shown since the 2000s, its just they are always single characters acting as lone terrorists. I think the shift happened around Code Geass and Death Note. It's a shift to lone wolf protagonist fighting against the system practically on their own and who is importantly 100% morally wrong (even if their grievances are understandable). The reason behind this is because radicalism in Japan has become lone-wolf, short sighted, and right wing. Basically incel radicalism. There's no more communist revolution or even Mishima to show in anime, only losers burning down animation studios and maybe doing something cool and killing the ex PM. Of course there still are anime that go against this trend. But if anime is the base and anime fans are the superstructure, anime as a whole has bent the superstructure away from collectivism and real life stuff.
Yes this is rather vulgar and not essay quality but I was just thinking about this and needed to write it down. Also I was thinking after watching a video, why did 4chan hate IBO so much. That show was actually really good but they despised it. IDK.
Anime has lost its political energy
Anime, even as it is more popular and mainstream than ever before in the West, has really lost its relevance. What do I mean? Anime doesn't really inspire people anymore.

I'm here so you guys scream at me to try to convince me to use anything but a noobuntu distro.
After support for W10 ends I'm switching my 14 years old home desktop computer into something a bit more recent, and I'm genuinely considering using GNU+Linux as my "main driver" as kids say nowadays.
I have a lot of experience using Mint as that was my distro of choice for nearly 14 months, I think Cinnamon is an eyesore but otherwise it just werks and I could do almost everything I wanted to do except running Game Maker Studio 2 which is only available on Ubuntu according to the devs.
I'm considering using Kubuntu since KDE Plasma looks sick and it's basically Ubuntu so I can consoom my noob gamedev kit in peace.
As an addendum I hate "rolling distros". Manjaro is an abomination where things just werk against you if you're not a giga turbonerd who's on the computer 24/7 and derives sexual pleasure from fixing tech issues.

For starters, the book is objectively terrible from a literary standpoint (like most Utopian novels honestly, it's a shit genre). Every chapter is dedicated to some aspect of the Walden Two "Utopia" and consists of Frazier, P.F Skinner's self insert character in the novel, explaining why Walden Two is so epic and based and wonderful in X aspect to bland and unoriginal to a small cast of forgettable characters visiting Walden Two for no reason other than to be ranted at by Frazier apparently.
Walden Two's "Utopia" is ran by a professional caste of Planners (unelected, naturally, not even held in check by a Party of any kind) set apart from the usual workers who run and plan everything and use Radical Behaviorism (essentially mind control through selected use of pleasure and pain) to alter the needs, wants, and desires of its citizens to conform better to society's needs. It's funny how the book is structured to make this seem like a good thing. Many chapters go to great lengths to explain why Walden Two is a haven for art, culture, shorter working hours, better working conditions, etc, in order to justify this behavioral altering. The chapter on education shows hungry children made to sit in front of food for hours at a time without eating it in order to build "patience". One can only imagine the child abuse going on behind the scenes to make this sort of lunacy possible. Walden Two is the sort of book that is in favor of beating your children.
Towards the end of the book it's revealed that Frazier is a complete egomaniac who personally runs and plans much of Walden Two (But um, actualleh that's totally OK b/c Walden Two has a 4 hour work week!!!!). He compares himself to Jesus Christ and his fellow Planners as his disciples.
Walden Two takes the liberal argument "hurr durr, muh human nature means ppl too greedy for socialist utopia" and responds with "You're correct, people are greedy and evil! Let's MIND CONTROL people into being selfless!" instead of refuting the initial argument as liberal bullshit.
All attempts at implementing Walden Two IRL are either hippie communes that have long since abandoned Skinner's philosophy (as they should) or dystopian torture nightmares that take Frazier's egomania in the original novel to the extreme. The most notable modern-day Walden Two inspired project is the Judge Rotenburg Center founded by Matthew Israel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Israel) which tortures autistic children with their patented Graduated Electronic Decelerator whenever they act out (or scream in pain when being shocked, or fail to reply when greeted, or break some other minor rule). This Matthew Israel guy studied Behaviorism under P.F Skinner, read & loved Walden Two as his favorite novel, and literally has a Disney Villain backstory where he realized he can control people through pain and founds a school to continue doing just that.
The reason that Walden Two utopianism never had a significant conservative backlash during the Cold War is that it specifically appealed to middle-upper class professionals with its Technocratic elements, selling them the idea of being Planners in a new society where they are given the power to torture and alter the minds of Proletarians underneath them to serve their agenda.
Worst book ever 0/10 do not recommend. Read it if you are a Technocrat Fascist who wants to torture proletarians and want a professional caste to be intentionally put above said proletarians.
Walden Two is the worst book I've ever had the displeasure of reading
This utopian garbage by P.F Skinner (Yes, THAT Skinner, for whom the Skinner Box is named after) has no right to be called a socialist novel and anyone who says it is is delusional.For starters, the book is objectively terrible from a literary standpoint (like most Utopian novels honestly, it's a shit genre).

This Matthew Israel guy studied Behaviorism under P.F Skinner, read & loved Walden Two as his favorite novel, and literally has a Disney Villain backstory where he realized he can control people through pain and founds a school to continue doing just that.
The reason that Walden Two utopianism never had a significant conservative backlash during the Cold War is that it specifically appealed to middle-upper class professionals with its Technocratic elements, selling them the idea of being Planners in a new society where they are given the power to torture and alter the minds of Proletarians underneath them to serve their agenda.
Worst book ever 0/10 do not recommend. Read it if you are a Technocrat Fascist who wants to torture proletarians and want a professional caste to be intentionally put above said proletarians.

My headcanon is that Ozai was sexually abused by his father as a child and never got help, and this is part of the reason he ultimately had became such a monster.
I would say this is believeable both because Fire Nation is a pastiche of Edo Japan and Imperial Japan, first of which is one of the infamous examples of pederasty-tolerant societies, and the second of which is infamous for perhaps commiting more wartime rape over the course of a single war than any other society in history, and because from what little we had seen of him, Fire Lord Azulon seems like the type of person to whom it would be not out of character to molest his younger son.
Now live with this, you all.

They are claiming it is racist, xenophobic, etc. And honestly, I can see it, with the characters saying some similar language to said people. But someone also brought up as an anti-west or anti-colonialist themes, with them being against the occupation of their planet.

Blizzard used to keep world of warcraft (WOW) easy. Old WOW used to be simple to learn and simple to play. The progression system was easy, so was the combat, and the quests were simple to understand. For most players, the game wasn’t too competitive and it was easy to make friends.
Milsims like Arma and Squad still have that “easy to learn, easy to make friends” kind of appeal. Even the early soulsborne series had that “simple in design, easy to find fun” appeal despite what the masochists claimed about the souls series. Most AAA games released by blizzard and other high-ranking studios abondoned this approach to game design.
Blizzard catered to the hardcore players too much and made WOW hard. I’m glad that the devs are going back on most of the changes, but the damage and legacy is all still there. Multiplayer shooters are worse than ever. It’s basically impossible to get into any new multiplayer game without being bombarded with endlessly convoluted systems and a hardcore player-base. Gaming is so much harder now. Even games that should feel easy like path of exile 2 play as if I need a manual again to understand what’s going on.

<If you’re in open terrain, crouch or lay prone; if you’re fighting in an urban map, always shoot within buildings; you’re aiming through a window, a wall, or a door, keep your in-game avatar standing parallel to the wall and not perpendicular to it; doing so makes you slightly less easy to hit than if your face was directly perpendicular to a window’s opening
>never reload or use explosives if you’re not fully behind cover.
<Seriously, there is no reason to leave yourself open to getting shot at from any angle when reloading. Coincidentally, most explosives (mainly grenades) cause indirect damage, which absolves the need to directly look at an opponent to know where to throw or plant an explosive.

As the years went by I found myself highly attracted to 2D girls with varying types of what are culturally seen as masculine qualities. Like the aforementioned athletic, bold, energetic, likes to play rough but also aggressive, assertive, emotionally reserved, brash, vulgar, messy, short-tempered, rhetorical, analytical, philosophical, gluttonous, as lustful as a man and so on. In other words, women who behave like the worst and best of male cultural stereotypes. Do they "look" like tomboys? Some do. But even then I have nothing in common with the pathetic fetishists, the most egregious and possibly loudest of which circlejerk over 2D girls who only "look" like tomboys and otherwise do not deviate much from the assumed average girl who on top of that unironically fantasize about turning said "tomboy" into a traditional 1950s cooking, breeding and raising servant (read: wife).
Don't believe me? Give a definition for the word tomboy. Then objectively think of all the fictional girls who come to your mind that fit that definition. How many have you never thought of as tomboys?
It's not just the word tomboy that is being systematically destroyed by pathetic fetishists. The word gyaru did not simply refer to physical appearance alone, but a whole subculture. To be a gyaru it's not enough to dress the part, you also have to act the part else you're a poser right? That's how subcultures work. Gals are stereotypically vain, airheaded, trendy, extroverted, socially intelligent, gold diggers, Americaboos and so on. Today? Shy gyaru. Awkward gyaru. Recluse gyaru. Tomboy gyaru. Normal girl gyaru. Otaku gyaru. Of course a character turning out to be different from expectation is funny on the occasion, but when every gyaru is effectively a poser gyaru that's when you start getting mad. Hell, I've seen people start calling characters "gyaru" for simply having a shallow physical resemblance to gals (makeup, dark skin, blonde or pink hair, etc.) which is the very height of this fetish madness.
As the capitalist world crumbles, as escapism rapidly turns into fetishism, as words become nothing more than visual pornographic descriptors, voices like mine will remain to scream and shout at the dying light.
"Tomboy" has been robbed of its meaning.
When I was a wee lad I read Katawa Shoujo and ended up really liking Emi. She hit all the right spots for me personality wise. I finished her route with the impression that she was supposed to be the token tomboy among the main girls. To my astonishment, when I went on the Katawa Shoujo forum I found out that other people did not consider her a tomboy. How? She's the athletic, bold, energetic girl who likes to play rough. Did I not just describe a tomboy? Is it because she doesn't "look" like a tomboy? Ridiculous. It was as if at some point I had been transported to bizarro world where the word tomboy had been hijacked by pathetic fetishists who now tied the word tomboy to physical appearance.As the years went by I found myself highly attracted to 2D girls with varying types of what are culturally seen as masculine qualities.

I think it would be pretty easy to side with the latter out of frustration, especially if you're talentless like i am, but i think the idea that talent could be forcibly cultivated out of someone who never realized it before would be the "productive forces" argument. Not to mention that junko destroyed civilization, which is dialectically bad.
Your turn to die is a great game too, very similar to danganronpa on a surface level, i finished it a while ago and im glad i played it. Free btw. Anyone got visual novel recommendations? I need a weeb fix.
Visual Novels
Im making a thread about VNs because there isnt one on the catalogue and i wanna talk about my experience. I just finished danganronpa 2, which im not certain counts as a VN or if it's a point and click murder mystery social deduction game, and i think im pretty confident to say that it presents a pretty interesting moral dilemma. On one hand, the hope faction is pretty clearly a technocratic organization who obsesses over "Ultimates", or people who possess immense talent in a particular field or study, for example the world's best scientist, or the world's best doctor. It is revealed in the story of goodbye despair that before despair took over, hope's peak academy created a method of artificially forcing someone to become extremely talented, which dialectically had the potential to equalize mankind and develop the talents of anyone, which would make the idea of meritocracy, or ruling over others due to better talents or knowledge, completely obsolete. Despair on the other hand spawned as a result of the mass movement of reserve students, malcontents who became disaffected with the idea that people with talent mattered more than the rest, since hope's peak academy was formed to research peoples' talents and how to cultivate them.I think it would be pretty easy to side with the latter out of frustration, especially if you're talentless like i am, but i think the idea that talent could be forcibly cultivated out of someone who never realized it before would be the "productive forces" argument. Not to mention that junko destroyed civilization, which is dialectically bad.

Ranking installments of everyone's favorite transphobic white angloid attempt at writing shonen with antisemitic undertones because my 50 y.o. mom is a Rickman/Snape fan and forces our entire family to rewatch all of the movies each holiday season.
Worst - Prisoner of Azkaban. Really unpopular opinion, but I feel this is the messiest out of the early books, with a generic "believe in yourself to deafeat a monster (dementor)" shonen message told with the help of the atrocious time travel subplot (JKR's worst mistake besides, y'know, becaming a far-right grifter) and untolerable for me at least amount of quidditch padding.
5th place - Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows (ranked as one book because HBP is just a set-up for DH's story, it would have pretty much zero literary value as a standalone book) A dissapointing end to the series. Voldermort fully turns into a cartoon villain and stops being a credible threeat to any minimally adult reader (despite showing signs of being capable of more in GoF and OoF). Also I hate how Voldemort invokes Hitler symbolism despite, if anything, having more in common with Grand Wizard (pun intended) of the Klan. The story becames irredeemably reactionary, with Voldemort being defeated by the mystical "power of love", Dumbledore being venerated as a saint by the narrative (despite there being a fucking perfect set-up to make him a "second main villain"), Hermione accepting the naturality of the House Elves' slavery and Harry becaming a wizarding cop treated as a happy ending.
4th place - Philosopher's Stone. I know it was intended as purely children's book originally, but it still looks intolerably cartoony and cheesy compared to the later parts.

The most deadly human parasites besides top-ranking corporate executives are protozoa, which are single-celled organisms. Some of these tiny creatures (there are over 80,000) have brought humans more misery and death than anything else in history(again, besides CEOs), including wars and famine. The most well known deadly parasitic protozoa is plasmodium, which causes malaria.
Parasites are separated into four main groups: 1) protozoa, which are tiny, one-celled organisms; 2) helminths, or worm parasites, such as tapeworms and pinworms; 3) arthropods, which aren’t parasites themselves, but these insects and spiders are common hosts of parasitic diseases; and 4) top-ranking corporate executives.
Most parasitic infections happen in warm climates or capitalistic societies, such as tropic or subtropic regions or the US healthcare system.

And no, NOT because of anything nonsensical like it will increase awareness of the contradictions because they won’t. The human race will not ever overcome false consciousness. The average human is a literal illiterate moron, a subhuman at its core, the proletariat doesn’t exist as a class as every living prole is drowning deep in petit bourgeois consciousness. The absolute dream of most proles is to murder and enslave the majority of their own class. Look at this comment, this is the furthest proles will ever get, they will admit capitalism makes life hellish, and then reject communism anyway, acknowledging Capital must continue its rampant drive, with a few partial tweaks
The proletariat is a pathetic, vile, barely human mass; worthy as such of Marx’s lowly appraisal of the corpulent peasant masses of France; the proletariat is not capable of anything, not even organizing its own thoughts let alone anything else, communism is fully impossible and the proletariat will end when they tear each other’s throats out to make sure Zuck and the rest can escape to their doomsday bunkers.

It seems pertinent in 2025 to reassess the term, and the era that we find ourselves in. Has internet culture become uniquely disruptive again? Media institutions have largely acclimated themselves to digital existence after the sink-or-swim period of the 2010s. Social media is seamlessly integrated into the social fabric. Baby boomer policymakes int he EU and US ahve spent thousands of hours debating cryptocurrencies, cryptography, social media, etc.
I'd like to suggest that we find ourselves instead in an era *after* the post-digital era of the 2010s, which is far more in line with the original technic/cybernetic ideals of the 1950s and 1960s. The 2010s were rapid and choatic, as was expected, but after some shuffling around, the digital and analogue components of society can no longer be differentiated, except for on the superfluous technological and material levels. In fact, it could be argued that the entirety of the human experience has been captured by digital systems. I'm hesitant to claim this is a truly cybernetic society, but it does seems that in the imperial core, systems of control and capture have become fully digital, abstract, and everpresent. The I/O systems for the information feedback loop of a cybernetic apparatus have all been established. Should we rehabilitate the field of cybernetics to understand macro systems? Obviously there is a socialist root in classical cybernetics (Cybersyn, etc.), but it might be worthwhile to reappraise Big Computer as a transformative method for states like China. If the apparatus is already present for cybernetic management, it seems like something *we* should be analyzing, since it's blatantly obvious that the managerial class is analyzing them.
Cybernetics
Have we moved past the post-digital era of the internet? According to Cramer in 2013, "‘Post-digital’ thus refers to a state in which the disruption brought upon by digital information technology has already occurred. […] this technology is no longer perceived as disruptive." At the time of writing, in 2013, this seemed to be a realistic appraisal of the situation, as digital forms of communication (social media, internet news, Wikipedia, etc.) were viewed as a part of life. The post-digital was a rejection of the techno-optimism of Kurzweil and SV, opposing the techno-hegelian view that the digital era was a simple moment on the path to the idealized singularity. Post-digitalism was coined at a time when the internet had started to lose its own foggy idealism, and was understood as having been captured in large part by corporate and state interests. DIY communities and counter-cultural trends existed, but the term 'digital' was not a disruptive element at the macro scale of society.It seems pertinent in 2025 to reassess the term, and the era that we find ourselves in.

Do you know any other series that are similar to this or should I just entirely stop caring about kodomomuke entirely?
Shonenesque kodomomuke
Kodomomuke is easily my least favorite anime demographic because it's mostly just manga for preschoolers but some series do look like they wouldn't be entirely out of place in a shonen magazine if they were a little bit less kid-friendly. Those are the most direct equivalent to saturday morning cartoons, although the protagonists/deuteragonists still seem to be mostly little kids (like Chris from Sonic X). I tend to enjoy them more.Do you know any other series that are similar to this or should I just entirely stop caring about kodomomuke entirely?

I found that NPCs in most games tend to fail at finding cover in natural environments.
For context, game developers assign certain objects marks that tells an NPC “hey you can take cover here.” In gameplay, these markers allow NPCs to hide behind crates, cars, doorways, and other man-sized objects.
Now with terrain, normally there are plenty of hills, rocks, and depressions available for NPCs to take cover from. In Arma, players (hopefully) take advantage of these aspects to conceal and cover themselves during combat and patrols. In real life, there are entire systems dedicated to using terrain to cover oneself from enemy fire.
Now with most shooters, this basic feature is no where to be found. Yeah, even in milsims, I was surprised to find NPCs failing to recognize objects as simple as rocks as useful things to hide behind.
Why isn’t this something that is fixed in milsims right now. I can understand why this pathfinding feature may not be as common in arcade shooters, but for the more realistic games, missing something like this is a massive mistake.
Weird AI pathfinding issue

I have a weird fascination with this franchise, particularly its fans. How do they remain so loyal when there's been maybe one or two good games in the last two decades in a sea of average-to-terrible garbage released year after year? How did Sega manage to take all the wrong lessons away from their colossal fuckups of the mid-late 2000s?

>Cool Paper: Comparison of the Assemblages of Sap-Feeding Insects (Homoptera-Hemiptera) Inhabiting Two Structurally Different Salt Marsh Grasses in the Genus Spartina
Abstract: The vegetation of New Jersey tidal salt marshes is composed primarily of 2 grasses; Spartina patens , which occupies a narrow elevational zone of high marsh and Spartina alterniflora , an intertidal species. S. patens forms a dense, persistent, thatch, while S. alterniflora produces only a loose lattice of litter which rapidly decomposes.
A comparison between the guilds of sap-feeding insects (for the most part, Delphacidae, Cicadellidae, Issidae, and Miridae) inhabiting these grasses reveals S. patens housing a much more diverse assemblage of herbivores than S. alterniflora. S. alterniflora -inhabiting species are exclusively bi- or trivoltine, while on S. patens , sap-feeders possess a greater variety of life history types and show a specialized trend toward univoltinism.
Removal of only the dead thatch portion of S. patens results in reduced species diversity and evenness of sap-feeders on the living grass system. Trivoltine species, which normally inhabit the upper strata of S. patens , increase their populations on dethatched grass compared to the unaltered grass system.
Both empirical and experimental evidence suggests that the complex microstructure and thatch of S. patens provide a more heterogeneous and protective resource which supports a more diverse and specialized fauna of sap-feeders than S. alterniflora
>tldr: Salt marshes have low elevated sections that recieve more flooding dominated by S. alterniflora and high elevated sections dominated by S. patens. An important group of herbivores within the whole salt marsh are Sap feeding planthoppers and it turns out the areas of High marsh with dense stands of S. patens that form thatch having the greatest species richness of plant hoppers. Not only were there more species but many univoltine(only one generation at a specific time of year) specialists were restricted to this microhabitat. Another thing I enjoy about this paper is that even though delphacid planthoppers ended up being the focus many other members of the sap-sucker insect herbivore feeding guild that are present in the Salt Marsh are still briefly mentioned.
<The Question: What is the local ecology around you like Anon? I for one am in a temperate(Humid Subtropical to be exact) coastal plain area with a fuckton of fresh and salt water wetlands but also many areas of ruderal ecosystems due to urban sprawl and the ensuing neglect of said sprawl.
