Hows about you and me go get the blessing of Mara? Nobody stole my sweet-roll, but you stole my heart. I think you're the TENTH divine. Even the Civil War in Skyrim couldn't keep us apart. It's a nice day when you're around.
I’VE FOUND MY SOULMATE, EVERYBODY
Hey, I saw that you were looking for good sites for getting your art printed, I've always heard pretty good things about Society6 as well as inPRNT. They definitely seem to allow the artists to get a much higher profit than Deviantart, and I bet the print-quality is way better too. Keep making brilliant art!
Oooh thanks so much! I’d heard a few good things about Society6 but I hadn’t heard of inPRNT at all!
Has anyone reading used either of those, for your art or as a print buyer? How’s the print quality? How’s the service? Please, tell me all the thingssss~
OH thank you! I will go on my journey to master The Way. Your kindness will not be forgotten!
Remember, gakusei. The Way of the Corny Joke is fraught with darkness and peril. You do not choose the path. The path chooses you. It calls to you. HEED THE CALL.
hey, was wondering if you were gonna make more skyrim valentine day cards? Would love to buy some. Work with a lot of people who play skyrim and would love these. Just because if so i would like to buy some.
Just print them out for your own use. I’m not gonna sell them. I don’t want Bethesda to send their Dark Legal Brotherhood lawyer assassins after my ass for profiting off their shit. You know how it is.
I’m looking for ways to sell my original art as prints online though (does anyone reading this know a print service that’s easier and better than DA’s?), and my friends and I are gonna make an Etsy shop group thing to sell comics for sure, so I am working on ways for you to give me your money if you desperately need to do that.
PLEASE I BEG OF YOU. I will only use the art of corny jokes for honor! It is all I ask.
It’s too dangerous. I can’t. I will not let my hubris claim more lives. I learned my limits on that dark day.
However, I will not tell you that you are without hope. Seek the Golden Field of Joke Corn. In the center you will find the towering form of the Sleeping Cheese Bull. Meditate in its shadow for twenty days and twenty nights - clear your mind of all things unfunny. If you do this, the Undying Master will come to you. If you are truly serious in your devotion to The Way, this shall be the first step on your path. I cannot tell you more.
E-excuse me i didn't realize the true art of the corny joke.... SENSEI *bows* PLEASE. TAKE ME IN AS YOUR STUDENT.
I had a student once, long ago… He was killed in a horrible Kwanza joke misfire. I shouldn’t have let him do it… I could have stopped him…!
Looking upon his charred, scattered remains, I vowed never to take on another protegee. The burden of the corny joke is mine alone to carry. My secrets shall die with me.
When making corny jokes do you laugh to yourself like its the best laugh ever? Because I do. XD
DO YOU THINK MAKING UP JOKES IS SOME KINDA JOKE? I am deadly serious through the entire process. Sweat dripping off the brow. Teeth ground down to nubs. Hands steady. One false move and I could trigger a chain reaction that would take out half the West Coast.
Could you draw your best approximation of an actual corny joke machine being practically applied?
Man. No way. If I show you guys how the corny joke sausage is made, it’ll ruin the magic.
Please make more Skyrim valentines... those were great!!
I will if I can think of more corny jokes! (Note: I totally can. I am a corny joke machine.)
MPAA Directly & Publicly Threatens Politicians Who Aren't Corrupt Enough To Stay Bought →
techdirt.com
Reinforcing the fact that Chris Dodd really does not get what’s happening, and showing just how disgustingly corrupt the MPAA relationship is with politicians, Chris Dodd went on Fox News to explicitly threaten politicians who accept MPAA campaign donations that they’d better pass Hollywood’s favorite legislation… or else:
“Those who count on quote ‘Hollywood’ for support need to understand that this industry is watching very carefully who’s going to stand up for them when their job is at stake. Don’t ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don’t pay any attention to me when my job is at stake,”
This certainly follows what many people assumed was happening, and fits with the anonymous comments from studio execs that they will stop contributing to Obama, but to be so blatant about this kind of corruption and money-for-laws politics in the face of an extremely angry public is a really, really, really tone deaf response from Dodd.
Wow. Chris Dodd is not only an asshole, he’s a stupid, tone deaf asshole.
It shows, yet again, that he just doesn’t get it. People were protesting not just because of the content of these bills, but because of the corrupt process of big industries like Dodd’s “buying” politicians and “buying” laws. To then come out and make that threat explicit isn’t a way to fix things or win back the public. It’s just going to get them more upset, and to recognize just how corrupt this process is. If Dodd, as he said in yesterday’s NY Times, really wanted to turn things around and come to a more reasonable result, this is exactly how not to do it
Not that it matters, and not that I’m some kind of rich mogul, but I’ll say this again: I have lost more money to creative accounting, and American workers have lost more jobs to runaway production, than anything associated with what the MPAA calls piracy. Chris Dodd is lying about piracy costing us jobs. Hollywood’s refusal to adapt to changing times is what’s costing the studios money. That’s it.
SOPA and PIPA Fully Alive – And a New Bill Joins Them →

Reblog Reblog Reblog!
FUCK NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN.
Of course it’s not dead, they won’t stop until they’ve pushed the public too far and Tyler Durden becomes a real person. It makes me wonder if the public outcry had been expected, and now that everyone feels grand for winning the First Internet War they can slide their new policies right under the hype of victory. The number of notes in this post is a clear example of that.
What do you think about ACTA?
IT SUCKS
But also:
It freaks me out and pisses me off that countries are now allowing these multinational corporations to essentially draft wishlists in the form of legislation. In the process they’re trampling all over countries’ rights to sovereignty, and individual rights to privacy and freedom of communication and access to information. And they’re doing it because they’re too lazy and unimaginative to innovate in the face of the internet!
The fact is, this is all happening because the way people consume media is changing… The way people expect media to get to them is changing… The way people engage with media is changing.
Media corporations know and understand this and hate it because it means they have to innovate and take risks, which is threatening to them because they’ve sat on the top of the hill for decades and now they’re getting pushed off and their muscles are too atrophied to compete. The politicians in their pockets don’t understand this because none of them grew up with computers and they’re too lazy to get to learning now, so they just accept what their biggest campaign donors tell/bully them to do. In the process they’re unwittingly murdering the greatest force for international cultural development and information exchange humanity has ever known.
tl;dr It’s tough because as an artist/content creator/whatever I actually do think there should be legislation that protects copyrights online and has some actual teeth, because it is a huge problem. But ACTA and SOPA and the like target the absolute wrong people and murder a lot of good things in the crib to boot. I’d love to see legislation written by people who actually understand the web, want it to flourish, and don’t have a blatant conflict of interest… ACTA ain’t it.
Who is your favorite Batman Beyond villain?
I LIKE THEM ALL
Just kidding
Inque was just cool, and Blight got all the corporate espionage stories which I really dug!
Y'know, speaking of Skyrim, I wanna know why they don't give you the option to destroy the thieves guild instead of join it. I mean doing all the thieves guild quests was fun the first time but it's literally the only guild you can't oppose :/
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN’T KILL THE THIEVES GUILD
WHAT IS THIS
OH MY GOD JEMMA HELP SKYRIM IS EATING EVERYONE IN MY APARTMENT. But it's ok, because my Redguard is sassy.
I wanted to make a Redguard! They’re cuties! But I have this policy where I have to roll the least human thing I can when given the chance.
Ever think about boxing buffalo instead of oxen? They seem to be more of a challenge.
UMMM
Guess who is bored
Hint: THIS GUY RIGHT HERE
Anyone got a burning goofy question to ask me?? Wanna flip out about Skyrim? IDK
Ways to tackle ACTA
I’ve read a lot of people who are ‘tired’ after the fight with SOPA, but remember: the fight for civil liberties NEVER really ends. It’s tireless, and yes, it might seem unfair, but at least we live in a time when you can wage battle with a keyboard and not with a musket.
LET’S TALK ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT ACTA.
Find the right petitions, spread the information. It’s better than nothing. Here’s five things you CAN do if you can’t find a good petition or cannot contact the proper representatives:
1. Spread information. Find data online, and share it with others.
2. Make sure to tag things properly. The information is only good if it can be found.
3. Cross platforms. Spread information through different mediums. Check for twitter hashtags and USE them.
4. Look for the strongest petitions online. Direct all possible attention to the ones which are: (a) official or directed at government bodies, or (b) have the largest amount of signatures. SHARE these petitions. Make posts listing the strongest ones.
5. Research, research, research! Just google the latest news on ACTA and make a post about it on all the networks you can.
6. Talk about it. Talk about it in your workplace, on the way to work, with friends, with family. Every person you inform is one potential head in a network that will further spread the word of discontent.
7. Give it at LEAST 10 minutes of your every day to find out the latest about ACTA, and sign new petitions if they come up.
Remember these THREE BASIC ARGUMENTS against ACTA:
1. It was discussed in secret.
2. ACTA will affect BASIC liberties and civil rights, such as privacy and freedom of speech. There is NO economic benefit or tradeoff from ANY law that can compensate this. Ever.
3. ACTA is practically GLOBAL. And if you feel safe because your country didn’t sign an agreement, remember, countries can always jump on board with them later.
WAYS TO HELP FOR ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE:
Are you or do you know a DESIGNER? Make information about ACTA easier to divulge and assimilate. Present it properly so that the message is communicated BETTER.
Are you or do you know a LAWYER? Help others understand the contents of ACTA by putting it in layman’s terms.
Are you or do you know a BLOGGER? Put information about ACTA on your blog.
Are you or do you know a JOURNALIST? Get the information off the net and onto regular channels, such as television or radio. There’s still plenty of ground to cover.
Are you anything else? An engineer? An animator? A musician? A doctor? ACTA CONCERNS YOU and the liberty you have to research material for your workplace or distribute your artistic creations.
IMPORTANT: REBLOG THIS POST AS TEXT, NOT AS A LINK. MAKE IT EASIER FOR OTHERS TO READ IT.

the idea of people being fatigued from blacked out websites and signing petitions is itself fatiguing me right now
yes. also - THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
Everybody just punched SOPA and PIPA in the face. Punched it so hard it lost teeth. GOOD JOB. Now let’s help our homies across the pond set ACTA up for a wicked uppercut! Remember, regardless of originating country, these things have ramifications for everyone.
