'It is difficult to mark the exact moment when the rise of Campbellism became inexorable, but conventional history points to the day that the title of "Moderator" was replaced by "Forum Commissar for Ideological Compliance".'

Promise.
Honest.
Well, maybe occasionally. But not much. Only a bit evil... now and then.

Off Topic / Re: This is the News!
Last post by Jim_Campbell - 18 April, 2024, 07:59:05 AMI quit Twitter last year, partly because the constant doomscrolling was doing me no good, but mainly because I noticed that the 'Trending' section was increasingly pushing right-wing content and talking points at me, in a manner that simply couldn't be based on algorithmic analysis of my own useage of the platform.*
It seemed very obvious to me that, under Musk, the platform was being used to advance an agenda that I simply couldn't support or be passively complicit in.
Well, it certainly hasn't got any better since I left. This, from NBC:
Verified pro-Nazi X accounts flourish under Elon Musk
We're far beyond "freedom of speech" and "hearing both sides". If you're still using Twitter/X, I'd urge you to reconsider.
*Mostly comic stuff, occasional frothing lefty rants.

Megazine / Re: Meg 467: Brit for Duty?
Last post by broodblik - 18 April, 2024, 06:21:46 AMThe meg for currently is on a bit of a low. I do see that next issue Dreadnoughts returns, so yes this at least is awesome news. The meg is still very much meh most strips are just average even Devlin. I really liked Kots take on Devlin but the last few stories just felt bland.
The Dredd story I enjoyed and did put a few smiles on my face (I needed something to laugh at since in todays age you are not allowed to challenge your work colleague to a sword duel anymore). This is one of those Dredd stories where as you read you start getting the picture of an innocent question becomes a destructive event with deaths and unnecessary arrests. Dark satire at is best.
The other highlight for me was PJ's art on Devlin. I must say that I felt this was his best work for either the prog or meg. Just brilliant but pity about the script itself.

I have been using the "Report to Moderator" function to report spambot posts full of dodgy links. They are no longer being deleted. Perhaps you should knight another of the boarders so they could ban hammer the shit out of those p(r)oxy malcontents!

Last post by Funt Solo - 18 April, 2024, 04:39:55 AMQuote from: Funt Solo on 18 April, 2024, 04:34:52 AM* pp14-15 have an article about "Time Breakers", including a link to the Zoop crowdfunding campaign. That sounded interesting, so I went to Zoop, but the campaign finished 2 weeks ago.
Mein Gott!

It's currently impossible to make any profile changes. When you click the "Change Profile" button you get dumped onto a 403 Forbidden page.
Please fix this so our resident Shark can change his profile picture each day, as is his wont.

Megazine / Megazine 467
Last post by JohnCKirk - 18 April, 2024, 12:20:21 AMFirst time poster, so I can't put this in the Megazine forum. Sorry that my first post is a bit of a grumble.
I upgraded your account and merged the topics — IP
Looking at Megazine 467, there seem to be a couple of production glitches:
* pp14-15 have an article about "Time Breakers", including a link to the Zoop crowdfunding campaign. That sounded interesting, so I went to Zoop, but the campaign finished 2 weeks ago. Was this article supposed to be published in a previous issue of the Megazine? It seems like a breakdown in communication: if Chris Weston knew that the article wouldn't appear until this week, it would have made sense for him to extend the campaign. Or if Rebellion knew when the campaign was ending, why mention it afterwards?
* pp44-47 have an interview with Steve Kyte. p47 has a blank section taking up half the page, which I'd normally expect to contain artwork. Did someone forget to add it? Or is it present in the paper edition but not the digital edition?

Prog / Re: Prog 2378: Underworld Upri...
Last post by The Enigmatic Dr X - 17 April, 2024, 11:49:52 PMQuote from: Proudhuff on 17 April, 2024, 01:42:41 PM Dredd fights stage left pursued by Bear, great fun and a good bit of Dreddversity. Liking the new sidekick
I'm also delighted to see Brink back. Talking heads, but talking sense.
Aquila: Thought I'd missed an episode or turned two pages at once, trip tropping along at a fair old pace, nice change of pace from recent slogs in the prog.
Indigo Prime did Edgar Borrow this?
Vex is charging along... not sure where or why, but I'm enjoying the ride.
4/5 for me, with the prog on a major up tick, admittedly from flat lining
I agree.
