Another small tweak to my Hypersub. I'm abandoning the name "Subs Up" as it implies a subscription and I believe leads people to seek some sort of return on their monthly spend. Like a Patreon, Buy Me a Coffee, or Ko-Fi, my use of Hypersub is just a way to make fan patronage easy and onchain. There are a number of benefits to this, which I outlined in my post "The Next Chapter: Onchain Patronage" (I'll update this with the new titles and tiers soon. https://thumbsup.mirror.xyz/u3Ue1hNOb6ifdhzMWChzGyrS5h6u1yzyGwMVw0RHRmw

Have you read last month’s issue of Thumbs’ Update? In it, I made the case against copyright using nostalgia and leisure as the anchor points for this discussion. Succinctly, I talked about video games and emulation. I’m working on the December issue now. If you want to support and encourage this kind of content, mint a digital collectible, or consider becoming a patron on Hypersub for a credit in the issues themselves. https://thumbsup.mirror.xyz/ua0DZXKHAa-h89Zg4sR1ErcD6dXP3xZBQMdTaTnNTiQ

People ask why I use so many different social networks. The reality is the social web is relatively siloed now. Here on FC, crypto posts get 99% of the attention, where anything else I post is around 5-10 interactions, mostly from my closest fans. On Mastodon (and Bluesky) this post got lot more interactions, led to new followers, comments, reshares, etc. Not a critique of FC, just a fact about the state of social rn.

I think it goes without saying but if you ever see an account with a thumb sharing right wing content, it’s not me.

❝ that’s so awesome! ❞ — me when I saw these quote glyphs. Then like every time I encountered a new glyph I want to use, I added it to my text replacement on iOS

Have you read the my newest update? What do you think of the premise? Did you enjoy the storytelling? What about the artwork? Want to weigh in on copyright? Tell me your favourite videogames and way to play them? Let me know in the comments below and remember for ✧ 420 a week, you can cast directly in this channel, not just reply; if that’s something that interests you?

New issue of Thumbs’ Update is out now on Mirror ✍️ In this issue I’ll be bragging about what I did on vacation, and why some might have called it “piracy.” 🏴‍☠️ I’ll cover some of the history of video game emulation, the recent attack on the Internet Archive, and make the ethical case against copyright (at least in its current form). Enjoy! 💚 https://thumbsup.mirror.xyz/ua0DZXKHAa-h89Zg4sR1ErcD6dXP3xZBQMdTaTnNTiQ

I've written nearly 3000 words promoting piracy. Can't wait to share it.

This is your regular reminder that I worked together with a real life animator (who worked on the show Robot Chicken) to create this cool clay animated visual for a limited edition NFT. It's a stop motion video, made from real clay, displayed as a looping gif 1000 editions only, available on @base via @zora. Owners of the original, open edition (known as v1) on Ethereum and other chains were airdropped a copy and the artwork on their originals was modified, to ensure these 1000 are the only versions with this animation. https://zora.co/collect/base:0x93f7c5f2ad2ba8449cc8962c9ec985ef5f653fbb/1
