Uwerta - Uwerta

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.

this is what having sex with sonic the hedgehog sounds like btw

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

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.

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.

i achieved my wildest little creature dreams this weekend and turned my regular bed into a mossbed and it’s everything i’ve ever wanted in a snooze spot

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.
