Last night I beat Hades II. 🥹
The credits roll was so beautiful. It's the kind of image that I would stand in front of the TV for as a child. Mouth agape. Like, wow, people made this with so much heart I can feel. I hope Supergiant wins all the things. They earned it.
Post-credits missions await!

Agreed. Only thing worse than "Reminds me of x" is, "Can you draw me?" Like... It just never occurs to folks how self-centered (and common) that ask is.
A woman once asked me this even though she was 2 stops away on the train. 😑
They're never content with the results either. No, absolutely not.

Fully half of the comments I get on my art when I post it these days is some fucking version of "this reminds me of/this looks like" some unrelated character
Kindly fucking stop saying the first shit that comes to mind please. Stop it, it's insulting. Say anything else

Learning they were behind that Wu-Tang music video.
The studio that made the shitty coca-cola AI ad getting their teeth kicked in on socials bc of how icky bad it is, then the studio CEO coming out insulting and dismissing folks kicking their teeth in, and THEN releasing the worst ever cover up “hey we actually made this by hand” scam vid

Audio engineers at AT&T discovered back in the 1960's that they could encode metrics about a network as a stream of sampled human voices, on a similar principle to Chernoff graphs.
Pitch, emotion, phoneme, volume, timbre, etc could all be mapped to different metrics tracked.

Mhm. This is true of every ism and prejudice there is.
It's tragic because the ability to confront your own ugly liberates not just the people you've hurt, but yourself.
You have to want it and it's painful. But it's worth it.

A lot of men fear acknowledging what actually counts as sexual harassment because doing so would mean confronting their own behavior.
Everyday men are sexually harassing women and calling it everything but.
If we REALLY did a survey of what they consider NOT to be sexual harassment…..we’d be very shocked.

This nice Italian woman (about ~80) on Amtrak had me pegged for "25 at most" despite being a bit heavier. 🥹 Even after I corrected her, she did not stop gassing me up. 🤣
