100%.

I haven't bought a full price game in a long, long time.

Oh no!

Well, anyway...

It's been a while since I was in the scene, but sure. My two daily drivers are both boards from Protozoa Studio, which I became quite a fan of.

One is the Protozoa Foundation with SLK Dessau caps. Its gimmick is changeable top bezels attached with magnets, shown here in a yellow plexiglass. I also have a black terrazo top for it with coloured flecks that looks like a 1990s bus seat.

The other, and my favourite, is the Protozoa P.02 with SA Skyriter, pictured below on the right. The one on the left I gifted to a friend after building.

The P.02 I am especially fond of because the PCB internals for it are the open source Discipline 65 which means if the PCB were to die for any reason I can just solder up another (I've already got spare PCBs and parts!)

I want to see more projects like the P02, not just in keebs but in general, where you get a carefully designed and lovely item but with open source fundamentals that break you free of commercial control so you can keep it going yourself forever.

Yes, I finally realised I'd spent too much fucking money on keebs

What was the answer to the questioning?

Brain at 7AM: "okay, now it's time to feel more sleepy, relaxed and comfortable than you've ever felt in your life"

Whatever it is convenient for it to mean at any particular point in time.

Zero point two nine cents? That's cheap!

I'm sure lots of people here do and will like it - just not me! :)

You should keep posting it, obviously.

It's a comedy strip, and humour is extremely subjective. What works for one person won't work for someone else.

I see it as intentionally being a "bad taste" comic by design, and as someone who never enjoyed Happy Tree Friends or other franchises which use violence, sex or toilet humour as cornerstones, it's already on an uphill battle as far as my tastes are concerned.

Of course, dark humour and "bad taste" have been important parts of human comedy since forever, and I don't mind them when it serves a purpose. But Cyanide and Happiness seems to exist purely on bad taste, as if bad taste is entertaining in it's own right.

To me it feels completely insubstantial, and so for me it's a pass.

I like c/comicstrips but I wish there was a way to exclude certain artists whose sense of humour is incompatible with mine.

I never want to see this artist nor cyanide and happiness ever again, if I can help it.

There's no strict rule, either is acceptable.

"Write down the age of everyone here"

"Write down the ages of everyone here"

Equivalent, and both equally fine.

When we are talking about a group of two or more people either singular or plural work, and singular doesn't imply they have to be the same either.
