@squirrel should be listed on dashboard with both deductions labeled

@squirrel yes I remembered correctly https://computerfairi.es/media/N52ODHV8CAYJKCdvkvM

@squirrel iirc patreon takes 5% and then the fees are 2.9% + 35¢
so if someone is pledging $20 total, split into four $5 pledges, you should be getting $4.35 from that $5 pledge

@squirrel yeah you pay Patreon's cut and the transaction fees
how much the fees are depend on how much (total) your patrons are paying (to all their supported people), the transaction fee is split proportionally among the recipients

@squirrel let's play gunbound!! I still remember the angles for UHA shots with Boomer and Turtle

remember GunBound? it's still up. it requires 64MB of RAM to run.

hi I have opinions on the internet (itself)
a lot has changed in the past 25 years!

@teaduckie twitter is terrible, tumblr is better, pixiv is okay, but it all loses the sense of community from portfolio sites and art archives
tumblr is no replacement for keenspot or LJ
it's.... way harder to communicate with people and find community now I think. social media ironically makes it harder to have conversations.

@teaduckie We have bandcamp now but we don't really have like, midi or mod archive sites and communities anymore…
it feels more isolated…
and the same with fanfic. there's AO3 now, but older private archives you got a real sense of community from, like these stories and authors all had something in common that made them band together for this particular archive
idk

@teaduckie Everyone I know had a site, privately hosted or on geocities or tripod or whatever. It was just so easy to put up some fiction about a character or game you liked, add a counter and a guestbook and request placement in a webring or two
Download managers… I still use a download manager extension to scrape sites but nowadays we don't need the resume function (or the "spoof the server into giving you multiple download slots so you can download faster" function hehe)

@teaduckie the speed shaped the culture too, though! Low-color graphics with dithering, simple animated gifs to keep stuff visually interesting while pages loaded, the MIDI & MOD/IT/S3M music scene because while MP3s existed you basically had to download them overnight…
I had a 7 digit UIN on ICQ, that was what I mainly used hehe
I used MSN for roleplaying

@teaduckie yeah it looks amazing! I have lots of memories of browsing sailormoon forums in the late 90s and early 00s, and chatting with friends over IM, and playing with silly desktop toys and dollmakers and stuff........ it's 2000% my aesthetic and the writing seems pretty good too

@squirrel 👀

@Xkeeper you can remove the filter pretty easily if you're running at a different resolution, or if you run it at the intended resolution it looks great with the filter
the new art is pretty damn good especially the battle graphics in FFV and FFVI

@revenant FF5 and FF6 have amazing in-battle graphics, way better than the SFX versions. The sprite blurring in field scenes is dumb but you can mod it out. These games are fine.

@revenant what's the issue
it uses the original graphics, has an easy to use mouse interface for menus, has selectable resolution, runs at full framerate
is it just that it uses a variable width font? I bet you can mod the font pretty easily.
