You click the link at the top to read the update on the Webtoon platform. RSS isn’t meant to be platform to read comics on, it’s a system you can use to subscribe to things on a wide variety of websites and get notified of new updates all in one place.

People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

A few years back I had a roommate who, when I made barszcz one time, added cinnamon toast cruch to their bowl. I have never been closer to going full Spanish Inquisition on someone than in that moment.

*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

this has been a psa

unsure if this is about Minecraft or executive dysfunction

It sucks that there's only 20 minutes in each day. If there was more than that I would get more stuff done I'm sure

I’ve been looking for an opportunity to recommend a shit-ton of webcomics.

Every webcomic on this list is ongoing, SFW, and has its own website with an RSS feed (categorized list under the cut).

not furry sci-fi:

Cassiopeia Quinn: space opera kind of deal (somewhat spicy costume design. despite that, the story told isn’t actually horny).

Leaving the Cradle: comparatively hard sci-fi about humanity’s first encounter with aliens.

furry sci-fi:

Astral Sounds: a researcher helps a test subject escape and they explore the stars together.

Derideal: dark/dystopian sci-fi about genetically modified sapient animals created in a lab and used in secret missions by the corporate government.

Freefall: long-running comic strip about a kleptomaniac alien, a genetically engineered wolf engineer, and a lot of robots.

Key to the Future’s Fate: a boy is kidnapped to the future where he learns that he was a very important man.

Lancer: a squad of starfighter pilots is displaced in time after a mission gone wrong.

Space Pawdyssey: a mix of characters with different backgrounds come together to crew a ship. Adventures happen.

furry fantasy:

Bethellium: story about a secret city of mages, and a dark family history

Bloodline: characters must deal with the fallout of their father being a demon.

Journey to the Skyline: a young girl is exiled from her floating island home and meets a grumpy shark. Shenanigans ensue.

Norembridge: takes place in an old-fashioned psychological hospital with a protagonist we know little about.

Slightly Damned: a revived murder victim who escaped from hell, a young demon, and a nervous angel. There’s some romance and also an impending war.

Supercell: a child soldier at a school that secretly trains them has to protect the school from conspiracy, all while normal school is still happening.

Vápnthjófr Saga: based on Nordic folklore, a group of women are sent on a mission against their will.

furry slice-of-life:

Bittersweet Candy Bowl: long webcomic about kids going through middle/high school and the drama that comes with it.

Friends you Are Stuck With: a group of friends living together in an office-building-turned-apartment.

I Think I Like You: very gay (the RSS feed is a bit weird on this one. I do get fairly regular notifications, but not for new chapters. I just check for new chapters whenever a get a notification, which works but isn’t optimal).

Savestate: siblings who grew up playing video games together. Also there’s a demon.

Summer Vacation: high school friends deal with family and another, missing friend during their last summer before going to college.

furry other:

Cashmere Sky: anachronistic sci-fi-ish/slice-of-life-ish story. I dunno how to describe it but I really like it.

Hello from Halo Head: kind of slice-of-life, but like, metaphysical. Described by the author as a “traumedy”

Stormwolves: superhero story where a pair of cousins protect the city

Tukk and Rol: high school, drama, and government conspiracies

hey webcomic fans, i need your best recommendations

basically looking for anything that fits following criteria:

1. is ongoing right now (the most immutable criteria, i want to follow along)

2. not webtoon (preferably on it's own site)

3. fantasy/sci-fi

already read kill six billion demons, reading unsounded rn, open to anything

Oooh music! I usually listen to playlists instead of shuffling my library, so I still have a lot of songs from like… 25% of my life ago in there that I no longer listen to, but the first 5 songs that came up that I do listen to (and skipping duplicate artists) are:

Mostly instrumental, I guess. Maybe I should have only used my ‘songs with lyrics’ playlist instead of my library, but oh well. I like this selection well enough.

I don’t post enough to really think of myself as ‘having mutuals,’ but it turns out I have three! I tag @inhumaninterest and @suchiren (thank you @magpies-gold for tagging me)

tagged by @madscientist2739 :]

(starting a new chain bc it was quite long but here's the original post if u want to scroll through the polls)

Put your music library on shuffle, then list the first five songs that come up in a poll to let people vote for which one they like the most!

tagging: @crystal-mouse @s-h-a-s-e @orangexmachina @andietries and anyone else who wants to! no pressure as always feel free to ignore :3

Edit: the title for this comic is “Puzzle Rat” this one’s a few days late due to having a lot of doctors appointments sorry it’s  just 9 pages, and about some rats… it’s more symbolic than anything really

(it’s completely unrelated to any of my songs that have to do with “puzzleboy”) Patreon: www.patreon.com/PengoSolvent

this poem is about being nonbinary.

The night is cool and balmy.

Your SECURITY GNOMES are raising an alarm.

> define 'balmy'

Balmy means "pleasantly warm."

Your stock of DICTIONARIES has decreased to 31.

Your SECURITY GNOMES report BANDIT ARTILLERY!

> observe night

The night is cool and balmy.

Your SECURITY GNOMES have entered COMBAT DELIRIUM.

> resolve temperature discrepancy

You haven't acquired enough THERMOMETERS to notice the discrepancy.

Your SECURITY GNOMES have activated the MEAT THRESHER.

I’ll also add: get an RSS reader app.

Most individual comic websites will have an RSS feed you can subscribe to, meaning that you don’t have to memorize/write down each comics’ update schedule or check the website to see if the comic has updated.

Before I knew about RSS, I would choose to read on Tapas or Webtoon if a comic was available there because following a comic on its own website was just less convenient. But with an RSS reader, I can follow dozens of comic websites, get notified and see all of the updates in one place, and keep track of which updates I have already read.

I personally use NetNewsWire on IOS as my RSS app, but there are plenty of good ones.

XYZ. The classics. Cant beat them. Core of the whole thing. W. Scary. Mysterious. We know what it does, but how does it do it? Best not to worry. Trust in it. RGB. Underdogs. Tap into their power when you feel like carrying a bright torch into a dark cavern. UV. Necessary but not beloved. Mid. By their powers combined, he is...

Tumblr is giving us a lot of different dashes but the thing is no one wants "for you" so what I propose instead is you give me the ability to make mini-dashes with specific subsets of people I follow. Let me follow 300 people but then sort them into category. Let me have one dash for all my aesthetic stuff, another for news, another for my weird feral friends. Am I the only one who wants this? Maybe. Give it to me anyway.

This is actually really smart, though. Human expressions are made through lots of relatively subtle motions of our malleable faces, which could be impractical for a robot. Very near that same depth of expression could be achieved with as little as like two motors in each of those triangular ears.

Of course, Wheatley is already incredibly expressive without those ears, but the Valve animators achieved that feat by keeping Wheatley in motion. If you looked at a static image of Wheatley, it might be a lot harder to figure out his emotions. Those ears would solve that.

on the furry au (yknow, the au where everyone is furries, which every piece of media has) chell is a regular furry, you see glados and wheatley never looked human in the first place, so my take is that they look exactly the same except they have triangular pieces of metal attached on top of their heads which look like animal ears for no sensible reason

I haven't seen it get mentioned on Tumblr yet but Samsung has just gotten caught in a hilarious scam: they apparently advertised how their latest phones can take great picture of the moon, compared to other phones!

But it turns out they aren't using machine-learning to clear up blurry pictures, they're using machine-learning to detect when you're taking a picture of the moon, and then they swap in a saved PNG file of the moon.

A reddit user figured this out by taking a photo of the moon from Wikipedia, blurring it in photoshop, then trying to photograph it from across the room with all the lights turned out.

Their Samsung phone somehow managed to "clear up" the blurriness and recover details that weren't there in the first place. Because it's just cheating.

i’m literally making that exact game in college right now

all factory-building games are worthless if they don’t let you mass-produce food. what’s the point of anything if little food items aren’t involved

I'm just trying to boost this :>

one propaganda, because there isn’t enough of that yet

-1, 0, 1, and 2 are the most important numbers. they are the basis of the integers, each of them providing something unique that every other integer builds off of.

all the other types of numbers, from rationals to reals to complex to transcendental, build off of the integers.

NaN, on the other hand, is the basis of nothing, and isn’t even that interesting on it’s own. I’ve been programming and dealing with floating-point numbers for years, and do you know how many times NaN has come in useful? precisely zero. even calculations that ‘should’ result in NaN, like dividing by zero, usually don’t even use it, instead just throwing an error. why? because an error is more useful than a NaN the vast majority of the time.

you know what NaN is? floating point filler. there were a bunch of bit representations left over (16,777,214 for the standard, 32-bit float) and the designers of the IEEE 754 float decided to make them all NaN because they didn’t know what else to use them for.

the number tournament

what is the best number? you decide! submissions will stay open until I decide to close them.

hello, tumblr! we've all had a lot of fun voting in polls and putting our favorite blorbos and blorbinojn against each other, and now I think it's time for.......

THE NUMBER TOURNAMENT

uncountably infinite options to choose from, but only one can be the champion! I mean, only one number can be the champion. the number "one" may or may not end up being the champion.

anyway submit your favorite numbers! any type of number is valid, even things that aren't numbers as long as they're sufficiently numerical! I'm gonna keep submissions open until I have enough to make a well-seeded bracket from the most popular options. go wild!
