This Unity shitstorm is an interesting thing. Like, I have never seen a company set itself on fire like this before, at least one I am partially invested in. What’s funny is a lot of people also don’t understand why Unity set itself on fire, it actually has a good reason. Y’know, despite it doing the dumbest fucking thing imaginable. A lot of people also don’t understand where they stand in terms of Unity’s interests. Nor do they understand why Unity doesn’t give a shit about them, it does have a reason to not care about you. I know this sounds like I am siding with Unity, but I’m not. What Unity did was fucking retarded and I do not think they will fully recover from this, if they ever will. What surprises me the most is how many studios/teams insist on relying on others for tech instead of making their own so shit like this can’t happen again. (Ed note: This was delayed due to a few injuries)

How do coupons work?
Recently I watched a video that awoke some deep forgotten memories I had. It’s hard to think some of my teenage years are now deep forgotten memories, but that’s besides the point. The video mentioned how people used to make fake manufacturer coupons on 4chan. At the time I didn’t know they were fake, so I used them. This then dug up another memory of mine. When I used to get free beef jerky coupons from Jack’s Links in high school from Jack’s Links. These were because my school kept selling expired bags. I’d buy $2 of beef jerky from my school and get a coupon that gave me up to $10 in beef jerky. It was a nice way to “make” money. Thinking about it now, who paid for the coupon? In fact, who pays for any coupon? Like when you go to Walmart and you use a 30 cents off coupon. Who paid for that 30 cents? How the hell do coupons work?

This was honestly a surprising read/review for me. I went into Isom thinking I would 100% hate it. In fact, I went in thinking I would somehow find a way to demand my time back from Eric July. While I would not recommend anyone read Isom #1, at its current price. If you can snag it for around $20 I can recommend it to people who are more forgiving to first issues. I can’t say I fully hated it. The hate is at about 80-85%. That means I liked it 15-20%. Which is slightly below average for any first issue of a new comic. This was a huge surprise for me. I read a lot of reviews about Isom #1 and was expecting a glorious train wreck, but I was instead greeted with a mismanaged idea. An idea I wound up being interested in. The TL;DR for my review is this: I don’t recommend reading Isom #1 if you don’t want to be greeted with Marvel Cinematic Universe-esqe teasers. I would instead recommend waiting until issue 5-10, choose a number, and start there. It’s really hard to judge a new comic since every comic sucks until issue 5-10, except webcomics taking until page 30-45, but this one wasn’t the worst issue #1 I read, nor the best. It’s about average, and held back because of weird choices.
