Still between animation jobs, but our cat just had to get surgery. Expensive surgery. I don't have much of a following here, but if anyone is able to help, I'd be eternally grateful. Eternal is a long time!

The Muppets should host a "Freaks and Geeks" reunion special. They owe them that much at this point.

Can't believe we're already 10% there after only one day! Thank you all so much for even passing this around!

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50

Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Like, these guys who are so desperate to have their genetic legacy passed on always talk about it as their genes living on and never talk about wanting kids. It’s gross. If your priority in having kids is not because you want a little person to love, maybe there’s a reason you’re not having kids.

sorry everyone we at pencil company know you liked pencils, but we can't think of any new ideas for them, so we're discontinuing pencils tomorrow. also, you won't be able to access all your pencil drawings, please burn them, cool
Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale.

So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

a major reason why adobe is killing animate is almost surely because AI is seen as a major threat to art software on wall street, and execs at adobe probably saw animate as dead weight because they couldn't stick AI into a 25 year old codebase made for animated banner ads

I AM FURIOUS.

Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate.

And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

adobe killing animate and saying "just use after effects" is the most fundamental misunderstanding of your customers ever, lol

Adobe almost assuredly completely derailed a number of studio and indie productions alike with this sudden announcement. I hope they have a great big lawsuit on their hands.

Someone has a year to buy the code for Adobe Animate, make it open source like Blender, and really do something worthwhile in this world.

Seems appropriate to repost this. Fuck you, Adobe.
I made this short about the quality of Adobe Flash over a decade ago, and aside from calling it "Animate," nothing's changed since then. The fact that I knew how to purposely trigger a crash so that I could screenshot the error message for this video should tell you everything.

I guess now will be as good a time as any to start experimenting with... I dunno... Moho?
There goes literally the only reason I was hanging onto my Adobe account. Fuck me, I guess. What does this even mean industry-wide?
