Hi, I’m the developer behind the Lemmy/PieFed client Blorp. I would love to commission you to make an animated version of Blorp’s logo. I think your style would fit the esthetic, and I’m happy to pay.
I know the name is silly, but someone will always complain about the name. Changing it might make one person happy, but it will likely make another person unhappy. So the net gain will be nothing, and I will have wasted a lot of time rebranding. That's time I can spend improving the app itself.
Another nice thing about "Blorp", since it's a silly made up word, if I search "blorp" on Lemmy/PieFed, 99% of the search results are people talking about the app. That makes it really easy to address feedback from users.
Exactly! My employees here at PunchOurEmployeesinTheFace construction are always wanting to do a rebrand.
I’m like “guys we’ve been over this! the wave of violence is probably due to our bait-and-switch pricing style. The few others are more of a fall into the employee when the watered down concrete inevitably fails. That’s why we gotta leave the job site immediately after completion people!”
Since the joke is entirely about absurdity and not making any grand point or statement of in kinda … yeah it should be pretty high up there in the unreasonable things you’ll read today category.
Honestly if your trying to say what I think your trying to say, the problem is your trying to read it as me insulting the other person. You having difficulty because it doesn’t actually say anything bad about they’re company name or decision to keep it. Reading it like an insult makes it just a confusing thing to randomly say.
Because the joke is actually that simple. It would be absolutely absurd if I meant what I was saying at all. That’s the joke.
You don’t have to like the joke but don’t waste your time overthinking it. You won’t get anywhere lol.
Yes. It’s mean spirited against my fake employees at my terrible company.
I never said blorp was a bad name. I’d actually compare it to “James bond “ the writer picked James Bond because it was a boring name. Now it’s the name of James Bond.
I have no strong feelings about blorp. It’s just a name.
I do have strong feelings about a what bad name actually sounds like.
I was going to correct you on aesthetic, but i googled in and now i honestly have no idea whether its right or wrong. Never seen that spelling before though, by chance are you european? According to very quick googling as an American im more likely to use esthetic evidently, but ive never seen it.
Its been a while, but i didnt remember that relay looking different. Was it really red and i just forgot? I just figured the artist took liberties. Either way, the art is awesome.
Man it's been so long and ME3 was so disappointing Iv forgotten pretty much every plot relevant point from the whole series aside from Sarin and that sick ass final.mission from 2
Man I don't agree at all. Like the whole Moradin part was amazing, losing my best buddy from 2 is hard regardless if you shoot him or help him but so much else just irritated me. Like the bugs getting Reindoctrinated, that shit just pissed me off. I was like you fuckers REALLY gonna undermine me all they way back in ME1??? Maybe I'm being unreasonable but it felt like a game I was finishing cuz I spent so much time in 1 and 2. 2 was off the chain...have I said that already?

It’s a bad joke. You feeling the need to write 4 paragraphs explaining the joke is testament to that.
Aeao@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 290d
I write long paragraphs for everything lol. All my comments have hundreds of edits as well. It’s called adhd.
It being a bad joke doesn’t bother me. It being taken as an insult does. I don’t go around wanting to hurt people for no reason.
That damages my reputation.
Making a joke that just isn’t very funny to anyone besides me does not damage my reputation at all. I can do that all I want.
If I was embarrassed about making a joke I’d delete. I’m still very thrilled about my joke.

Blorp is absurd nonsense. Innocent. PunchOurEmployeesinTheFace is agressive. Violent.
