Astrologians hooking up? Call that Friends with Benefics

Warrior girl sketch I did last night:

"live action of [insert animation] in the works--" please just fund animation instead of treating live action as the final pokemon evolution of a story

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

A broken, blue heart

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.

I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

One of my favorite things about the English voice work on Onimusha (the original game) is how every single line is delivered like a dramatic guesswork-translation dub of a Kurosawa film.

Every. Single. Line read. Is. Amazing.

A document screenshot, including the following text. Title: Magic as an Information Hazard Content: [Wikipedia link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_hazard), definition: > "a risk that arises from the dissemination of (true) [information](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information "Information") that may cause harm or enable some agent to cause harm" #### The basics of Infohazards in narrative Infohazards are a very wide category, but interesting because they basically fall into subgroups based on who can be harmed, depending on where the knowledge is held. * **Internal hazards** cause pain or anxiety to the holder of the knowledge, like intrusive thoughts or imprinted instructions from any source. * **External hazards** cause pain to others based on the actions of the holder of knowledge, such as insider trading in stocks or doxing. Because of this, "forbidden knowledge" as a trope can be very powerful. It sidesteps a lot of the usual mystery restrictions, allowing for an element of surprise even in fair-play style writing (where the reader can readily guess the twist given info in the book and a lack of Deus ex Machina). If the reveal of a mystery is not that hidden information changes the playing field, but the nature of the information *as a hazard* does so, that's a very different thing. Consider Ocean's Eleven, and the reveal during the heist that footage from the team's mockup of the vault was used in casino cameras as a double-deception for security, showing *real events* in the *wrong location and time*. The usage of footage wasn't the surprise, the nature of the footage was - both for the antagonist and the audience. I'd classify this as a narrative info hazard. We are told every part of the information needed to guess this deception was possible, but given no reason to believe that it would happen. This is a successful fair-play use of assumptions and attention direction, both diegetically and non-diegetically.

The first heading of the doc I was working on. Spoilers I guess for Ocean's Eleven.

Obsidian graph posting after... idk, it's been a while.

I haven't had a lot of creative energy lately (dealing with an ongoing illness), but I managed to add 400+ words to a theory essay while watching Dinosaurs with my FC tonight.

Feels like a big win after a long drought.

Mask-off corporate bootlicking that causes these fucks to junk the most vulnerable members of their audience at the first sign of resistance aside:

If someone/some company ever makes an MMO that mechanically, visually and technically functions like FFXIV but with D&D lore, world building, races and classes I don't think I would ever recover as a human. The snail yearns for Tieflings, Aasimar, Firbolg, Tabaxi and Bugbears.

Rod Serling is probably the coolest guy of the 20th century. Looked cool, sounded cool, fought Nazis, hated John Wayne, wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Honestly dunks all the hell over any male influencer guy.

No glam I can currently make in game will ever capture the -sheer avatar of snark- that Rileck is better than this old MtG card art.

Me, right now. And it’s not even an action scene.

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

Why assuring everyone he's extremely not owned and not turning into a corn cob and how llm vibe coding is The Future all while basically every user is reporting different concurrent issues with the website's actual functionality is comedy

Also: frankly i should not be aware of the personal accounts of this website's developers, regardless of their behavior or effectiveness at their job.

The fact Bsky's devs continue to post the way they do on main and not in a private group chat is -still- fucking embarassing.

what does the enforcement on this shit look like? in this future, every time Ubuntu updates, some guy in finland publishes a derivative called Calbuntu or w/e that patches out age verification. do we fine github until they take down his patch??? do we arrest this guy if he ever travels to the US????

like, do you get that we are on the verge of killing the concept of open-source software entirely? when you mandate that "an app" must perform certain functions like ID verification you're in effect declaring that Source cannot be Open (or else users will just fork it to take that shit out)

something not talked about enough with these "protect the children" bills designed to "rein in big tech" is the fact that there is so much Non-Big Tech getting lumped in with Apple and Google. what do you fucking mean you want me to mail my birth certificate to Linux before i can use debian???

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"But I want to ACT professional at least!"

I've been a copywriter for 15 years. PROFESSIONALS don't feel the pressure fic writers put on themselves to deliver quality.

Stop it. Just write your fic. Don't adopt a bar you guessed the level of without ever checking.

nobody in fandom thinks it’s normal to go up to someone who’s drawing for fun and say “your drawing fucking sucks, here’s what you should have done” but somehow fic writers are supposed to be thankful for all the unnecessary shit they get

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

there is no emotion quite like a person in a mmo jumping up and down

Absolutely. I mostly meant in terms of the "sense of place" of things - design, more than the technical side of instancing. Coil felt like geography, everything since Omega just... Hasn't.

That might go along with not having those "raid doorway" experiences though. I do miss Wineport Tuesday.

This would be so amazing

But I'd even take the raids existing in the world AT ALL at this point instead of constantly pocket dimension bull.
