Hot take 

@LukeAlmighty abortion would minimalize literally everything bad happening to a child/person ever. It's not really a good argument. You can't tell the future and people deserve the chance to make it their own, even if there is hardship. I mean I haven't had it the greatest, and I was an accident child. If I were aborted, sure it would have removed all the negativity I've had against me and that I've added, but it would also remove the positive effects. You can't really quantify that either.

@ECO19 people like this are so funny, who specifically spend all their time looking at things they "don't like"

@ECO19 Oh yeah Soda, I used to see him all the time on JCM2's posts.

Dude's gotta lotta free time

And then JCM2 started drawing him:

(By the way, I don't mean to post another artist's work, but I was makin' a point)

@MSP_SMIMSA @Zalo they closed all the family dollars and condensed them, essentially

@Tadano @xianc78 it's not foss, no. Developed by one guy who is doing a really good job though. I'm not the kind of person who is willing to use something foss over a paid alternative if it doesn't do the thing I want it to better.

@LukeAlmighty I don't think that wanting an abortion spreads through genes lol.

What is the cutoff for this line of thinking? Is there a difference if a woman kills her 2 year old because she decides she doesn't want to take care of them anymore? And it would be better that they die than suffer through an orphanage or something?

@LukeAlmighty everyone just uses the default rendering pipeline too and it looks bad

Wtf these guys last week asked if I wanted to play for their music festival, I emailed them a few days later, then they just responded and said the schedule was totally full??

@icedquinn their next release is also adding godot 4 export so that's pretty nifty. i like the fact that you can just make your models directly in the program. the node system also seems WAY more simple than unreal's which i'm appreciative of. i'm always down for starting with simplicity and then allowing the user to expand upon it if they wish, which is exactly what rpg maker does and why i like it so much.

looking at rpg architect right now... man, this might be the one i go with guys. it's rpg maker on steroids. i wish it was around when i started working on god's disdain because it would have made so many things i wanted to do but didn't have enough time/willpower incredibly easy, and things i did even easier.

it does have 3d support too. i don't think i'm going to go all-in on 3d, but having 3d environments with 2d sprites i think is a good compromise there.

the engine does cost $50, but once you own it that's it, free updates and everything.

i was also looking at rpg in a box, with their voxel based stuff and the new low-poly model they are releasing at some point in the future. that looks super intriguing too, definitely would be a lot more work and a steeper learning curve but i think it would still be easier than godot.

at the moment, those are the two i'm keeping an eye on.

beard music recommendations! 

here's what i've been listening to a lot over the past month or two!

Cheerleader by Porter Robinson: youtube.com/watch?v=CzJbz9qSsd
Very catchy song with a story I can relate to. Porter Robinson's melody and synths are as unique as ever with a pop-punk veneer on top of it all and his voice works really well for this style too. It's chaotic and moe, but still leaves room for Parker's voice to shine whenever there are vocals introduced into the mix.

Roc Sh!t by UnityTX: youtube.com/watch?v=3cDP_iOEIo
This is heavy metal as hell and gets me motivated. Nu-metal has never sounded this close to metal while still sounding so close to hip-hop and it's an insanely good blend of both genres. I can imagine a concert for these guys being absolutely insane. The vocalist is super talented, doing everything from the rapping to the screams.

Hard To Say Goodbye by Johnny Stimson: youtube.com/watch?v=3CvD7ggjoz
Best way to describe this is SUPER SMOOTH! The flow of the lyrics, the content of them, and the instrumental are all going to make you want to groove. It's definitely a feel-good song that I like listening to when I'm riding or walking just to peace out for a bit.

Landmines by Sum 41: youtube.com/watch?v=eQEY1gPeZg
A surprising amount of Sum 41's latest album is top notch, but this is my pick from it. Classic pop-punk in the best kind of way. Catchy lyrics and hooks plus Sum 41's signature refrains with explosive choruses are all here. If you told me this was recorded 20 years ago, I'd believe you, and that's a good thing.
