Fuckin' Reggie.

it was a fine anime. obviously it's of its time, so moeshit was as important as anything else happening. pick ur fav: batshit obsessive mpdg, autism gf, klutz w boobs

you do not have to watch the endless eight. (dee bo voice) WHAT slight differences. admit that the anime-industrial complex phones it in sometimes and move on. that was also s2 right? diminishing returns.

madoka magika was more thought provoking

"please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery"

gibberish

big talk from a guy who buys all his stuff at stores

was going to comment "¡plo pipo pipo plo pi plop!" or some variation of such, but then I thought "no that's a bottom tier joke." but now that the moment has passed and someone has quoted a vcrclock post containing a punchline ingredient, I want to post my joke again

but the theremin controller is literally the only thing that makes my game different from any other generic FPS

I'm shocked

Quote from: VCRClock on January 31, 2026, 07:46:02 PMhaha, I don't think they were trying to show him up. They're putting their artistic energy into putting off his second death

actually I like this quote better when I posted it

no, actually

a couple of strips in there are pretty good, but dig this, hombre, the bad ones just underscore how good schulz was. even without his illustrations, his scripts don't fall flat. the artists whose art doesn't support the text make you feel what you're missing. even the guys trying to emulate schulz pretty tightly are usually falling short.

but mostly: spending your life doing decades of a critically acclaimed newspaper strip etc etc, and then having some 2026 mfs get the idea that it would be more entertaining if a bunch of randos from twitter drew it, is very charlie browncore. schulz is 'good grief'ing in his grave

if I were to order all of the contributions to Peanuts Reillustrated according to how much I liked them, Jamba's strip would be at least in the top 50%


a good cover song may demonstrate an understanding of, and faithfulness to, the original, but the result may not be preferable to listen to than the original
a great cover song adds to or transforms the original, such that the new idea or energy injected by the covering artist might make you want to specifically listen to their version for what they bring to it
a bad cover song fails to recognize or preserve what was cool about the original (and faithful covers by technically inept artists easily fall into this category)
a worse cover song adds/transforms in a way that actively works against whatever was cool about the original, like "why would you ever think that this treatment is what that perfectly good song needed"

there's a lot of "worse" in Peanuts Reillustrated, and honestly I'm kind of more mad at the people who draw crazy lines on a quiet strip (or who CAN'T FUCKING LETTER) than I am at the people who seem to not care about schulz except for the patty/marcie relationship

the other takeaway from our brief investigation into this issue is that there's a button link to caliburger commented out in the homepage sourcecode. I've somehow gone years without knowing that

Quote from: RobClock on January 27, 2026, 01:31:13 PMHey VCR if you try to log in on the forum index page you get an error. Don't know if thats been a known issue or not so heres me bringing it to attention.

the clockcrew.net product team have successfully replicated your 'error'

best guess is it is the issue in this smf forums thread where maybe the software is bitching about whether or not there is a 'www' in the url. we acknowledge that navigating to forums from clockcrew.net landing adds a www

suggested server-side fix involves editing url rewrite rules in the .htaccess file. there is already a rewrite rule in there. don't really know if I can just add another rule or if I hafta modify whatever we've already got. don't want to get it wrong and somehow fuck the site up this evening

OH YEAH I'LL JUST DRAW A FACE CONSISTENTLY FROM PANEL TO PANEL AND COMPLETELY CHANGE THE EXPRESSION BY SLIGHTLY ALTERING ONE LINE, NO BIG DEAL
