So, for many nasty reasons, can't afford internet at home or on a phone.


Take care all interested parties, I'll try and access this account somehow.


I've really missed having the time and heart to talk to you all regularly, guess it's gonna be even worse now.

Sorry to hear. Hope things improve for you in the future. You’re always welcome on NG.

That sucks. Hopefully your situation will improve soon. (And hopefully your library hasn't blocked Newgrounds.)

Oh no, I just got back too! Be well, we’ll be waiting when you get back.

This is lame. Get that bread, so you can come back and talk to us.

hope you're doing well!

Sending out a decade worth value-pack of good vibes. I'll impart you with this nugget you once left to me long in the past:

We all get born with nothing, but in the end, the one thing we can take with us, is our principles and love of life. Aim for somewhere where your morals and love are needed. Life on Earth means conflict, and the good guys are in short supply.

Ah man, didn't realize you were jumping offline once again. :/ You must be living a tough life if Internet access is an issue... public libraries, public wi/fi (not that I'd advocate anything wireless but lest there be no choice)...?

Hope you make it places and manage to get back here again... all the best.

Hey, no happy 2020 yet? :/ How's everything going over there?

Tough to keep up, and worse, when I'm a day or 2 late on internet payment, they outright restrict access to a lot of sites, NG partially included, have to navigate through people or submissions, then it clears up access a little. Can still torrent, discord and youtube, but other sites are hard blocked, UDP is blocked, so I can't download steam updates or games, but can still log in

Oh damn. Thinking a lot of jobs might get impacted by this corona thing too. As for restrictions: some free VPN maybe? Opera's built-in thing?

Had thought about it, but my ISP would likely block any download of the software, it's a really odd way to limit connectivity, going after certain sites and protocols.. wouldn't mind it so much, but they're charging me a 50$ 'reconnection' fee every time I'm 2 days late

Hmm would've been useful with some local installation files of anything you might need at such times... hella expensive extras too. No way to get that money two days earlier?

picked up windscribe VPN for when i need to get updates, get around the blocks, blew most of the GBs on playing w/ the guy that recommended it.. that and the memes take up bandwidth, but can get by

Just read Cloudflare's offering their VPN to small companies for free through during this corona thing. :) Maybe not applicable but maybe, opportunities...

Hope all is well vic it's been a hot minute

Hope you're staying safe, Vic

How limited bandwidth do you have? :/ Yupp, hope yer doing OK. Crazy times over there.

Got the bill paid.. wasn't rly a problem w/ bandwidth so much as what they were blocking. And yea, very crazy in the NYC area, some of the newer laws went into effect as soon as the governor's ink was dry, local cops scrambled to enforce, just fucking madness

Ah. Do you think this is the start of a real surveillance state, or maybe more so a wake up call? The thing that'll get people to really stand up for their rights and integrity again?

Ever been to this website?

thought it may be up your alley, has a wide range of varying, alternative opinions

Oh crap, that sucks :( Hope things are going at least somewhat fine with ya

idk what {2C over 7D ic} is or why it's above my head... sure glad your state hasn't been in the pandemica news lately. meh, not much is going well here, but alive and fed, had some heart/vascular problems last week but doin a lil better w/ baby aspirin - malnutrition likely the prob

omg a much cherished response from VicariousE...been a long time man

Oh, maybe your browser doesn't have the same character set as mine..."2C over 7D" is a tiny caps 'V'

what state did you think I'm in lol? Been in California for about a year now, was in Arizona before that. Both are reporting 3000-10000 cases per day for the past weeks but knock on wood the deaths % is smaller than 2-3 months ago. I'm getting worried about my elderly relatives and friends back home...

glad to hear your doing ok now, eat a balanced diet (zinc, vitamins, probiotics, hydration are particularly important in these times), take daily walks (try to jog a little too), and I would say not too stress yourself out but I fail to take my own advice

And here I'm thinking 'no way could I mess up those states, gotta be New Mexico', yup, sharp as a bag full of wet mice I've been these days. Yea been walking enough, insofar as it doesn't deplete my fat reserves too dearly. Gonna hunt out some dandelion leaves, should hold me over for a while, could dig up Rodale's and see if there's anything else, but a lot of species have washed/died out and foreign ones stepped in.
