I really had a blast on this 2000s inspired nostalgia chick, I'm naming her Chloe (cuz I feel like I legally have to name her after a bratz doll)

Can you spot all the Easter eggs? πŸ‘€

Sometimes jobs fall apart halfway and never get off the ground, this one was particularly fun so hopefully the art will get used in some form in the future. In the meantime tumblr, it’s all yours!

Very good analysis of Furry from the outside, nicely done πŸ‘ Some thoughts I had as I watched it:

  • Most of the pearl-clutching about Furries seems to come from Puritan countries, esp. USA & UK. Other countries? Quite the opposite. Examples off the top of my head:

  • Notions of "children"'s mascots almost never occur to any of us Furs, except for the obvious Rule 34 moments. It more feels like, without consciously thinking about it, my childhood interests grew up with me. Does nostalgia play a role? Perhaps some unstated rebellion against squeaky-clean Puritan and Corpo media?

  • Xenophilia & neophilia are probably the strongest drivers, conscious or not. Every day in this fandom, someone comes up with something both strange and wonderful.

  • Accordingly, Furry art is a wondrous baptism-by-fire of Queer acceptance (also conscious or not), especially regarding body-positivity. As one gets used to seeing an 8-foot fox with 3 pairs of watermelon-size breasts & multiple tentacle dicks, the discomfort of trans and intersex bodies falls away. (I admit to my shame that transmen once made me uncomfortable; Furry art slowly slapped me out of it.)

  • It's both flattering and amusing to have "deeper meaning" / "deep sense of self" ascribed to our silly cartoon animals. Most days it feels like Furry simply is, no hidden depths needed. Is all art like this? Β  "Just shat out this portrait of some lady over the weekend, it's whatever" ~Leonardo da Vinci, probably

''Nanomachines, son.''(double in-joke; iirc this is how RenTheDragon explains his "all 20th-century aircraft are Aeromorphs" universe, 2200s nanotech gets teleported back to 1899 or something. It's better than I'm making it sound, I swear, you gotta watch past the 1st season)

I said "Python developers", not "python developers" :)

Also it's the artist's fault XP

Agreed, HelixJack is almost exclusively Toony style. Though I disagree about Trunchbull -- though it's been a few years since I last check their gallery, what I've seen from Trunch is either a style imitation of Kemono Inukai or a more painterly style possibly inspired by early-mid 20th-c. pinup paintings.

This one in particular though, being a very straightforward Furryfied version of something, I obv had to post here :P

Agreed. Interpersonal relationships are stronger bonds then us tech dudes (myself included) tend to appreciate.

People are still on Facebook despite all their unacceptable actions over the years, because the alternative is to completely uproot your whole social circle (everyone all at once, good luck with that) or seriously risk cutting off people you care about.

Almost the same applies to Furs still on Telegram, though afaik TG hasn't ever done anything remotely as bad as Zuck, Elon or Spez

EDIT: sidestepping the uprooting part is what's fantastic about the Fediverse btw; compat and futureproofing between diff websites being a must-have from the start, and that's awesome <3

Gettin' those performance gains πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ

Put a tiny Mindstorms chip in the minifig's head, and I'm sold πŸ€‘πŸ’°

Ah yes, I remember this news from months ago.

TL;DR for peeps in a hurry: Dirty emissions from cheap fuel-oil were making/seeding extra clouds over the ocean, enough to reflect a measurable amount of incoming sunlight.

New cleaner fuels (or electric power?) = no more extra clouds = slight uptick in global temp. Oopsie whoopsie.

Link to the Steam page still works, so at least the megalist of Furry games is still there
