Remembered cartoon network groovies and how they kick fucking ass

[strawberrykobold]

About ten, fifteen years ago I wrote a story about a guy living in a Capitalist dystopia. His walls, furniture, and tableware are all covered in smart displays. Basically animated wallpaper. It's sold as being able to turn your room or objects into anything - A nice forest view, outer space, a fantasy realm... but the companies that run this stuff keep sneaking ads in.

It gets so bad he's always being woken up by adverts that offer insomnia cures and better bedding that play when he tries to sleep.

So he buys the ad-free tier, and it's great... for a few months. And then he starts getting adverts from 'premium partners'. So he goes up a level... and the same thing happens.

So he jailbreaks his wallpaper and sends all the ad servers to 0.0.0.0 and voila... he can sleep.

Until this SWAT team blows his door off and drag him off to jail. The Ad companies are suing him for loss of revenue for the products he' notionally have bought if he'd watched their adverts, based on some weird 'The average consumer buys X products with an average value of Y' calculation.

The judge is like 'well I dun wanna annoy the sponsors' so he RICO's this guy's house and possessions and sends him to jail.

... which is a nice relaxed non-volent offender jail for the corporately disenfranchised. But because these people have no money... there's no ads and now he's happy because the only place he's free... is in prison.

Which at the time was a bit much and now it's like: Called it.

Elon's suing companies for not advertising because he's losing revenue. He's also cranking the price of Ad Free Twitter. Disney and Amazon play adverts on their paid service when services used to be free because of the adverts... and now you have to pay to watch the adverts or go up a couple of tiers.

And google's going around freaking out about ad-blockers.

Hi guys it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything here. Thank you to everyone who’s still with me. A lot has changed since I left and a lot more will continue to evolve within me as time goes on.

Im going to Delete this blog after collecting some posts that I really like or deem important from it then I’m going to start over. I’ll link to some of my other accounts so you guys can still be informed about what I’m all about but otherwise this is it for this blog!!

It’s been a long ride honestly. Tumblr was my first ever social media. Was always kind of a late bloomer to this stuff and I’ve met so many people that I’ll never forget because of it. If you want to know any of my other blogs or where I’ll be going later just dm me and we can go from there :3

Catch ya later puppy pack next time it’ll be from a new name and spot. Toodles!! ✌🏽

i really didn’t think it could get worse, and then-

[strawberrykobold]

i had this pointed out to me and i CANNOT stop thinking about it

so undertale's 6th anniversary is coming up in a few days, so the twitter page had its icon changed. it's exactly the same as the 5th anniversary's, but obviously with a 6 instead

here's what's killing me: someone, presumably toby fox, just opened up ms paint or something and drew over the 5.

and it's a little hard to see unless you zoom in, but the artifacting is inconsistent too—in exactly the areas that were altered. so not only was the 6 drawn on, it was a drawn on over a LOW QUALITY version of the logo

INCREDIBLE.

I can never get over the fact Dialga has a pretty tower, ancient ruins, mechanisms and actual staff. Then there's Palkia and spacial rift.
