That’s not what happened. It wasn’t any more or less toxic than any other place on the internet, the lead admin just got burnt out. He asked the community for volunteers to moderate the instance and apparently nobody showed up.

So he’s shutting down the instance next month. It wasn’t dysfunctional or toxic, he just sacrificed a lot and AFAIK never even broke even with server costs.

The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out.

For people who don’t know what this is referencing:

which in turn is a riff on these stupid facebook posts:

I’ll probably slip on a banana peel right down the stairs

My favorite thing about all these revolution working class rise up posts is that it’s always posted by people LARPing about fighting back online but also doing nothing

Labor is significantly cheaper in Asia compared to the US. Simple as. If you compare the budget of an anime compared to an average American show, it’s night and day.

This isn’t a good thing. Eastern animators are often overworked and earning less than minimum wage compared to the U.S.

DONT USE UNETBOOTIN. This tool more often than not breaks something and causes issues for people. Somebody I know used it and broke booting into Windows, he had to use a USB anyway to fix the bootloader.

The lawsuit started 5 years ago and it’s still not clear when it’ll get resolved or if they’ll even get the money in the end :/

A major investor owes them 10 million dollars they agreed upon but refused to pay after the movie finished shooting.

The movie is mostly finished but postproduction and release stopped until the lawsuit is resolved.

I hope it comes out eventually. The sizzle reel looks fantastic.

Yes, I use it often and it works great now.

Two. My experience with mechanical pencils is that they’re often unreliable and a waste of time. I hate having to reload my pencil, I hate when it breaks if you accidentally make the tip longer than it should be, I hate when you accidentally put one more in the pencil and it gets clogged, I hate having to carry refills all the time, I hate buying an expensive pencil and worrying about losing it (as opposed to just buying a dozen regular pencils for backup)…

Just hand over the regular pencil and a decent sharpener.

I was very concerned reading those first few words

I have been thinking you should stop spamming this shit in every community

You just know some spiderman supervillain is coming out of that

Thought I was in two-sentence horror for a moment. The post quality is the same.

Sorry mate, but it sounds like you’re absolutely in the wrong and need to work on your anger issues instead of waving your hand at people for not understanding you.

I have a reason for my actions, people just choose to ignore those reasons and misinterpret me.

People acknowledge your reasons but it’s no excuse for shouting or lashing out. You can try anger management or trying to keep your voice lower when you’re mad, or at least apologizing when getting genuinely mad at someone.

Plenty of devs think it’s easier than it is. A ton of games are built on proprietary tools, and then you get into legal hot water on whether you can even give away things like the soundtrack or assets you bought like stock sound effects.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they looked at it after the petition and thought “wait, I actually can’t open source this”

Same here. If you build up layers of oil and stuff on the basket it’s never coming out. It’s not a big deal IMHO.
