He does that, though. I mean, let's be honest: he's salty at the best of times. Today? Today he has an overflowing honeybucket of well-deserved salt-making.

Boy needs some space. He just doesn't particularly care how he shows it. That, and I think he knows he's everyone's token black friend and that's a shitty thing to have to be all the time.

    he's everyone's token black friend
Yeah, but he's not here. He was my friend. There was no qualifier.

But either way, not too surprising that he quit. Normally, he rages a bit more, tells everyone that's been super supportive of him and his art/endeavors how much the suck and that they're fucking idiots and then quits. So, he's getting better at it, at least.

If his opinion differs from yours, and he is truly your friend, you should take him a bit more seriously.

The "token black friend" comment is not necessarily about your opinion of the context of your relationship to him, but also how he (with his just as valid opinion as yours) views your relationship.

He did not point out you in any of his comments about particular users, so I don't understand why you're being so dismissive.

In the past, I forget which account of his, there were lots of "fuck Hubski and Hubski is "x"," and I am a hubskier. So yes, I was mentioned. As were you.

Right now, I don't have time to navel gaze about this. I would have, and did the first time he quit. This is the third or fourth time now.

Talented guy though. Great writer/artist. I'm grateful for his time here, particularly in the 8bit days.

Hubskina truly was a great time to be here.

Relative newcomer here: so determinedkid is 8bitsamurai?

Among others, yeah. He's a good dude, and I can almost guarantee he'll be back, but his tolerance for bullshit is low to begin with and he's in a bullshit-saturated environment.

From the bits of digging back in posts, I have zero doubt he's swell - no digging needed to see there's an outspoken population that enjoy him and his contributions. Thanks for the clarification.
