[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (3 children) I've always been a huge fan of this blog. The Episode was a great read, I ended up buying their book. permalink fedilink source hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) If not for your comment, I'd have probably scrolled past this post after just agreeing with the headline. Instead, I have decided it's worthwhile to spend the time to read the thing. I'm telling you this because personally, I enjoy when I, a random person on the internet, says something that changes the course of someone's life, if only by a tiny amount. It's got a similar affective impact to pressing a button on a satisfying mechanism — like, input in, result out. In this case, the input is your care about this blog, and the output is me caring enough to give it a read. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago Thank you! It's crazy how long it's been, but I remember in high school staying up late at night reading "The Episode" like a short story before bed. Glad to see the author is still posting, hope you like the writing style. The headline also had me skeptical, but when I recognized the author, I had a good feeling I'd enjoy the take. It was a unique perspective and the same writing style I enjoy. permalink fedilink source parent [–] rimu@piefed.social 2 points 1 year ago So many great lines packed into a single post. Another one for the RSS reader, for sure. permalink fedilink source parent
