SO-15: Here's the Setup...

If there's a lot of engagement on this, this post is liable to get real long, beware before you expand.

No art, but hopefully my eyes will improve enough to add some later!

Welcome to the Engagement Lounge, for How Did We Get Here? (SO-15) an instalment! Short comments can go in the replies, but there's a 475 character limit. Longer ones will need a reblog. Remember to @asksoldieron if you're reblogging someone else's reblog, so I can see it too!

Ya know, the eyes are better than last week but part of that is probably that I don't have a cold anymore. Still, the light tolerance and the focusing are improving. All I want for Xmas is my visual acuity! Well, OK, and a cool computer with at least 16 gigs of RAM, and the power to bend reality to my will. Actually, if I can just get that last one, I can take care of everything else myself!

So, out of all the things from Part 1 that were destined to make a plot-relevant return in Part 2, were you expecting Mordecai's ability to pass for gay? Turns out, it's not just good for getting out of stupid marriages!

Oh, boy, and we're gearing up for some real fun chaos. My little baby's all grown up and ready to do violence. It seems like only yesterday the whole family were bending over backwards to prevent him from murdering anyone. That's not an option anymore!

In other news, Patreon still hasn't gotten around to deleting all my data. They said it could take up to a month and they'd mail me when they'd done it. Once they get to it, I'll have to see what I can do to set myself up on Ko-Fi. They have all the features I need and they charge less, so I may not be back to Patreon as a creator. I still have some folks I'd like to support, but we'll see how that shakes out.

I'm not real excited to shackle myself to any corporation. They make very bad decisions, and the people using their services suffer the consequences. A lot of Web 2.0 is imploding right now, due to its failure to be profitable enough. Ko-Fi is comparatively new and may not be feeling the pressure yet, but unless the structure of the system changes significantly, they will eventually start sucking too. If it ever gets to the point where I have serious financial obligations, I won't just be able to pick up and leave like this again.

Still, that's a problem for future me! For the moment, I'll concern myself with formatting text and trying to be patient with my drawing ability, or lack thereof. Also, healthcare, and I wanna make some gosh darn cookies.
