I wish I knew what that was...so I could make a tasteless joke about it and annoy that poor lil guy...😁

I was pretty sure about that too. But I looked up "Knuckles without gloves" awhile after watching this. I expected to only get fan art, but a surprising amount of it was official.

Though those pictures are from Archie Sonic and Boom respectively, and neither of those are canon to the games. Your guess is as good as mine as to what's under his gloves in the games, but now that I think about it, I like the idea of him having spikes on his hands. I thought it was uncanny at first, but it would be a more unique design than the others' hands.

A vast majority of the people on Lemmy use Linux. Or, at least, the Linux users on here are the most vocal about their OS. Just type in "Linux" in the community search, and you'll find dozens and dozens of linux communities with thousands of subscribers, compared to a handful of Windows communities with only a few hundred subscribers.

Oh... "among" us. For a minute I thought you had invented a new word, either that, or I was seriously out of the loop with modern slang 😅

What a talented singer. Reading some of the comments, it was a little sad seeing all the people who related to the 'derealization' part of the lyrics.

 

I never really gave it that much thought before...now I can't stop wondering whether he has spikes on his hands or not. So my question for you is, what do you think?

You guys do realize this is a copypasta community, right? (Sorry I couldn't reply to your original comment, [email protected]. For whatever reason your comment hasn't federated to pawb.social.) I do find it hilarious that people are actually downvoting me though.

By the way, did you just downvote my fucking post before looking at it? That’s like shoving me before asking if I have a problem. What the fuck is wrong with you? You really think that’s acceptable behavior just because you’re on the internet?

You shouldn’t even be allowed to downvote a post, there should be some sort of basic intelligence test in order to downvote otherwise all you can do is upvote like a happy idiot. How fucking dare you downvote me and then talk to me after like you’re not some scum percolating in the tubes of some septic system. Just because you are semi-literate doesn’t mean you even understand what is happening in the world around you yet here you are downvoting me as though you are anywhere near my level of intellect and superior understanding of the issues you know nothing about. HOW DARE YOU DOWNVOTE ME.

I only read maybe the first twenty comments, so maybe it's a little further down, but where did the bot get that these AI girlfriends could 'empower people' from? And who would it empower? Aside from the companies who make these things, of course.

What’s wow? The fact that he’s reprinting a comic that he pretty much has no legal right to print? His uncanny valley echidna—sorry, “Echyd'nya” art? The fact that the guy has a whole subreddit dedicated to bashing him? The fact that we don’t have a whole community dedicated to bashing him? I must know!

 

(Video link is here, since I can't do both a custom thumbnail and a link.) So evidently, Ken Penders is making a reprint of Mobius: 25 years later. After almost a decade of owning his OCs he got back from Sega, he's finally going to be doing something with them...and it's a reprint of the old Archie comics, specifically, the Light Mobius Arc, issues 131-144. Granted, he will be adding on a section to replace what would be the normal end of 144 that diverges from the canon ending so that it'll tie into his Lara-Su series, but there's a lot in there that he simply doesn't own.

Originally, I was only going to post the video here, but I had a lot of questions after watching it. Was he even the one who drew the art for this comic? Was he going to attempt any superficial changes to avoid getting sued? I did some digging beyond the video, and found that he has his own website dedicated to this thing.

So he didn’t draw most of the art in the comics, and a lot of it seems to have been drawn by other artists, like Steven Butler. I rooted around a bit in the archives on Pender’s site, and it seems like he’s planning on redrawing at least a few panels for his comic—like this one here:

Steve’s normal echidnas

Ken’s uncanny valley echidnas

(In case it wasn’t obvious, the art on the right is by Ken Penders, the left is by Steven Butler.) He said here that he redrew this scene to better match the context for his new series, so it seems like he might be doing more than just reprinting the old comics. Which honestly...I guess it’s good that he’s not profiting off of other artists’ work without compensation, but at the same time...the new art is uncanny as hell.

Also, it wasn’t really clear just from looking at his website whether he was going to rename any of the other Sonic characters not owned by him (e.g., Rotor, Sonic), or if he was just going to keep their names. But in some of the archives, Knuckles was reffered to a K'nox, so it’s possible the other characters were changed too.

There's been a lot of discourse about this lately, and it'll be...interesting, to say the least, to hear about what the final comic will look like (cause I sure as heck ain't buying it!)

(I'd like to note that I've never actually read the Light Mobius arc myself, and most of my research came from Ken Pender's website, the r/FuckKenPenders* subreddit, and, of course, the linked video.

The sample they used is likely not representative of the whole fandom; they only interviewed 334 furries in the study, from a fandom made of millions of people. And the participants were all male, too.

...I can't be the only one who actually reads these things, right?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 months ago (3 children)

At first I thought this was satire, but I'm seeing similar articles in tons of other places like Huffpost and Vice. So this is actually true?! Stay strong, my friends...

(I don't have a fursuit or see myself as an animal or anything, but this is crazy. And a total waste of resources too. Hopefully voters are educated enough to see that this is absurd.)

Is bootiful. The cheese is all melted, and there are two kinds!

Video link: Chilling foxes on a hot day

I know I could have put that link as the url, but I just really wanted to use that screenshot as a thumbnail 😆. Video is from SaveAFox, a nonprofit that saves foxes from fur farms! Here Mikayla gives the foxes popsicles on a hot day, and they try to bite them!

My favorite part of the video was when Dixie couldn't make up her mind whether to lick it, or try swallowing the whole thing. (Right here)

 

I made some evil cookies, from the recipe written by Doctor Eggman! In the recipe, you make two batches of cookies. There’s only one difference between the two, and they are otherwise indistinguishable. The good batch, has chocolate chips, and the other, the evil batch, has chocolate-covered raisins to humiliate and show up your enemies. Just don't mix up which is good and which is evil if you intend to share with friends. Otherwise...well...just look at the last two pictures. evil cookies cool on a rack
