  • I wish to also shill:

    The Greatest Estate Developer is about a civil engineer who gets Isekai’d into a novel (as one does in a webcomic) and is granted some magic powers (as often happens in webcomics).

    He pretty quickly declares that his goal is to build enough modern amenities (and swindle enough of his neighbors) so that he can retire and relax for the rest of his life.

    But, you know, there’s giant monsters (because it’s a webcomic) and rival dukedoms, and imperial intrigue, and he keeps finding himself in the middle of it all.

    There’s a lot of comedy, and a ridiculous bromance between him and the novel’s main character.

    But I’ll look into Terror Island and Pixel.








  • If you’d like to know who this guy is, here’s a paragraph about him on History.com

    One such erasure was Nikola Yezhov, a secret police official who oversaw ██████ purges. For a while Yezhov worked at ██████ right hand, interrogating, falsely accusing and ordering the execution of thousands of Communist Party officials. But in 1938, Yezhov fell from ██████ favor after being usurped by one of his own deputies. He was denounced, secretly arrested, tried in a secret court, and executed.

    I’m cis. The flag does not belong to me. It does not describe me. You can ignore my complaints…

    But nevertheless, my neurodivergent brain is very bothered by the fact that there are only four panels, with the backgrounds going, “blue, pink, white, pink…”

    Why is there no fifth panel?


  • I like this logic. Killing should be a last resort.

    Further, if I had a billion dollars to spend, I’d sooner spend it on organizations like Life After Hate and get them the resources necessary to deconvert and deprogram Nazis than I would on any iteration of our current system of playing whack-a-mole with their censor-evading code words. Or on some Nazi-killing executioner.

    I hate how quick people are to advocate giving up on their fellow humans.
