The Little Art Connoisseur (1863) August Friedrich Siegert
Last time this came around I showed my three year old and he said "He's little like me!" and stared for a whole minute (v. Long in toddler time).

Using Fey Law as a heavy-handed metaphor for corporate IP copyright
Saying their name will draw their attention.
Using their likeness will spark their ire.
Encroachment upon their domain will earn punishment beyond earthly tithe.
The consequences of their regard may be intangible and long-lasting.
Rarely, you may earn their approval, but it is not worth the risk.
You must ask their permission, which is rarely granted.
Once they have you, they will not let you go for a hundred years.
You must be clever and use trickery and wordplay to evade them.
The master of each domain has their own unique and fickle nature, and some are more forgiving than others.
One must use titles and euphemisms to discuss them without their notice- IE, "The Rat", "The Bird Website"
Starting a mass movement to refer to specific Tylwyth Teg by name until they lose their power and become common household standards like Kleenex and Velcro
they should invent putting on sunscreen that doesn't feel like putting on sunscreen

abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them
Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.
op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.
for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.
so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.
#there is so much abandonware just...out there being used and carefully maintained#because nothing quite replicates the functionality
we really should be calling it fanworks, not content

I have just learned that Mountain Goats are NOT, in fact, actual Goats.
I have never heard of this band. I AM in fact referring to the animal.
But wait, there’s more!

I’m starting to doubt that I’m ever gonna get around to FCG, so here’s a roundup of the Bells Hells in historical art styles alongside an illustrative example of the art style used.
From top to bottom-
Laudna in the style of 19th century gothic revival stained glass
Dorian Storm in the style of Yoshitaka Amano
Orym of the Air Ashari in the style of 16th century Mughal painting
Fearne Calloway in the style of Baroque portrait sculpture (for example Bernini)
Chetney Pock O’Pea in the style of Ivan Bilibin
Imogen Temult in the style of Nell Brinkley
Ashton Greymoore in the style of Banksy
