For those that can't escape Photoshop, (such as myself RIP) request an agent to speak with on their virtual assistant to switch your plan not listed on the site. I requested to REMOVE generative AI "features" or extra apps -- it took me about an hour, but my plan went from 22.99 to 15.99 a month.

I knew the um actuallys would pop up...

Yes, I know CGI existed. Yes it was used occasionally in this time period. I'm speaking broadly. 🫩

This ad aired 50 times in the two weeks before the ceremony, and it was the true, and only, 'Ulala at the MTV Video Music Awards' appearance.

But we only knew about it through careful parsing of the press release. A few of us hunted for the ad itself, but no luck; it seemed to be lost.

…until now.

Via @ftb1979.bsky.social and @katewillaert.bsky.social, digitised from a VHS tape of an August 2000 Daria marathon and uploaded to YouTube over Christmas... here, after 25 years, is Ulala's VMA appearance:

So, last March I wrote a thing about the myth that Ulala presented an MTV VMA in 2000 (she didn't): savestate.site/where-was-ulala/

TL;DR: this stemmed from a (widely reported) misinterpretation of a press release announcing that Ulala would appear in an ad for one of the awards.
'Where was Ulala?'
Trivia heads, here's one for you: which Sega character presented an MTV Video Music Award in 2000? If you said…

“The world is not exactly as a I perceived it when I was 12 years old and this makes me mad!” is pretty much the foundation for the current state of society.

Going to a Superbowl party tomorrow. I'm honestly not into sports really but I am into good snacks and a fun halftime show.

Gonna bring my Switch 2 to keep entertained in between.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

I really think this is every bit as much an affront to humanity as AI art. Linguistic diversity is one of the loveliest, most magical things about us, and defaulting to covering up other languages with terrible, barely functional AI dubs is so ugly and insular that it makes me want to puke.
very good and very necessary feature, youtube!

For this #RandomGameSaturday I'm going with the little discussed puzzle gem Wetrix. It's weird and not the easiest to explain but fun.

I was feeling down this morning, but I watched some clips from one of my favorite movies and I'm facing the day.

The Gamecube dpad is fine actually.

The first Alundra is the best 2D Zelda.

James Pond 3 is one of the best non-Japanese platformers of its era.

I do not even slightly understand why Golden Sun is so loved.

A lot of the "Sonic was always bad" crowd are just very bad at classic Sonic.
