"clean design" eliminating what little semantic meaning we have while still failing to provide "elegance".

this shit pisses me off because it's important and I'm not even trained in this and know better. How can something this important get this broken at that big a company. I wanna fire everyone at google.

You *can* see the message but it's not straightforward at all and the vast majority of people would not think to go looking for it, know how, ot bother.

Holy shit dude, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

i have been publishing things i have written, in one form or another, since i was in the eighth grade. and all those things have been based in the existence of a reality we agree upon either because we experienced it together or because we can illustrate what happened. i don't know how to proceed?

idk if it's the kind of thing you're looking for but there's Ganbare!! Tabuchi-kun!!. Has great stylization based on the gag manga but I don't know Japanese well enough to vouch for the writing.

Yeah it's tough doing any art these days, but especially long-form like a series, where unless it goes viral all you have to sustain it is your own enthusiasm. I think the two most important things are keeping the production process fun, and making sure each episode matters for you personally.
