Hello, I've been using this site for years, and I had no idea that there was a "Blips" tab. I only found this because I couldn't find the account button (I was not expecting it to have been moved to the upper right tbh). Have blips been here the whole time, or is this a recent thing?

i love blarping. bipping, even

except you can block users and delete stuff from your page on FA, I'm pretty sure.

e6 has no blocklist currently (other than user blacklisting) and the only people who can hide stuff is the staff.

It's been a day but I've got an idea
We could combine your previous idea of a friendslist andy he blips, so only those who you've friended would have their blips show up on your profile

    I was gonna ask where the navigation bar for pool comics is since I couldn’t navigate easily from previous or to the next page. But I finally figured it out. So false alarm. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    did you accidentally set your navbar position to Off (not recommended) somehow?

    that depends on what you consider "recent": blip #1

    Dude, I fucking LOVE that game! Ever played Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love?

    yeah, it's alright, it's certainly more _fun_, gameplay wise, with some neat mechanics, especially for a PnC, but I don't think it's as narratively interesting compared to the first one. it dosn't really feel like it's "saying" anything. I mean, for a game about a 35 year dude hitting on a bunch of girls less than half his age it's... very safe. one of my lesser loved Love-De-Lic legacy games overall.

    the music and art is still phenomenal. although... kind of to be expected from Adachi and Kirushima.

    a friend on Discord posted a Naruto character tier list. I half jokingly responded asking if the characters were "from some anime or something".

    the resulting discussion made think about just how little of my own generation's popular media I've actually consumed. and it's made be come to two realizations:

    do I just actively avoid anything more than like three people tell me is good?
    yes. I think part of it is that I'm afraid that I won't like something and then feel the need to explain why if anyone ever asks me my opinion.

    has it had any actual negative effect on me?
    no. everything I like is better than everything everyone else likes, and it's literally impossible to prove otherwise without having to play Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland all the way through, at which point I've won anyway.

    Oof yeah i get the feeling

    @decra: I feel like there could be some way to bring them back to userpages while avoiding some of the problems (I mean, just having only the user's own blips show up might be alright). but ehh... I dunno, being able to just post little things on other peoples pages was kinda the thing that made it cool, assuming you weren't an asshole.

    maybe other user's blips showing up on your userpage could be opt-in or the site could whitelist whose blips would be allowed to show up or something. but I'm just not really sure it's worth the effort to revive this feature...

    and, all that being said, I do kinda like blips just being the universal off-topic thread, and nothing more.

    whaaaa that used to be a thing?

    i'm not saying that it's a good idea to bring that back, but they should bring that back

    yeah, they used to be at the bottom of all user pages, along with a little "add blip" button. the problem was that, as you can see, along with a user's own blips, any mention got put there, incluing stuff that you'd probably not want on your user page.

    it was essentially a direct invitation to just be mean for anyone who wanted to and have it show up on anyone's profile and targets wouldn't be able to do much about it until the staff came to take care of it. and since, unlike post comments blips lack score, users couldn't even group up to downvote it untill it was hidden.

    also, users kept trying to use the "add blip" button like it was an "about" for their profile because they didn't know what blips were.

    LONGEST FORUM THREAD IN THE WORLD.

    potentially, actually yeah. 130k is a lot for a contiguous stream of messages. wonder how many other sites have a dedicated off-topic discussion hub like this.

    although, to be fair, Blips wasn't always just a weird corner of the site like it is now. blips from or mentioning a user used to be something that fearured on userpages like kind of like comments.

    a bulk of the posts on here were likely prior to the current function of blips.

    I was at my local music store today having a look around like I usually do.

    Employee: "Hey, did you hear that [brand] is releasing [new product I've never heard of before]?"
    Me: "No."
    Employee: "Well, do you remember when [brand] released [old product I've never heard of] back in the eighties?"
    Me: "No."
    Employee: [proceeds to explain details of new product I have no interest in] "I'll let you know when it comes in, okay?"

    the artists tab got readded and, depending on your screen's desktop's horizontal resolution, the Discord and SubStar links and the themes and settings buttons might become hidden now.

    also, all the buttons have been made so they align properly now.

    Oh cool. They changed it so posts is the second tab again. Muscle memory isn’t fucking with me anymore. Unless I’m looking at a mobile-desktop only thing.

    do you mean like a stroke around the fa icons and text like this?

    doing it around the font stuff is pretty easy (since I'd already done some of the work previously):

    #nav-toggle, .nav-controls, .nav-controls .nav-tools-login { --header-stroke: #000000; /*<- stroke color*/
text-shadow: -.67px -.67px 0 var(--header-stroke), -.94px 0 0 var(--header-stroke), -.67px .67px 0 var(--header-stroke), 0 .94px 0 var(--header-stroke), .67px .67px 0 var(--header-stroke), .94px 0 0 var(--header-stroke), .67px -.67px 0 var(--header-stroke), 0 -.94px 0 var(--header-stroke); }

    I don't know if it'd be possible to do something similar with the site logo, though.

    yeah, thanks for the stroke!
