@chessboardman.bsky.social
Writer, painter, player of video games, watcher of anime and cartoons, reader of book, manga and comics. I write mini choose-your-own-adventure stories for a Children’s comic in the UK, the Phoenix Comic, but I’m also trying to write my own novels.
I thought Black Friday was last week since all the stores seem to have started their sales Last week. But nope, they just started their sales early… kinda defeating the purpose of Black Friday…
(In the UK where we don’t really celebrate Thanksgiving at all, which I suppose also defeats the purpose)

Can anyone in the UK confirm? How does the post work these days? I mean letter box post. Because I go days without any post, particularly on days I’m expecting post, and then when the postman does come, he has a massive pile of letterbox post. Did it all arrive at the depot on the same day?

Would Transformers the Last Knight have been a better movie, if they had time traveled back to the age of knights, like the G1 episode?

Morning thoughts about "AI".
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
![Thoughts about “AI”
Yes it’s:
The slop
The theft
The brainrot
The loss of work
The crumbling of creator rights
The destroying of the environment and infrastructure
But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you.
Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical.
Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school.
It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.

Ok, this is ridiculous. There’s a like of plushies that are cat versions of characters from Anime, games, etc (including the perfect Maomaomeow), but among these is a Manatomeow…
Manato is a character from ZZZ, who is a dog person. As in a person with dog characteristics. As a cat.

Silverborn, the latest book in the Nevermoor series, starts off with some rather diabolical foreshadowing.
It begins with a scene that actually occurs much later in the book’s timeline, that among other things, mentions events occurring that you assume happened in the background of previous books.

Dear @tributegames.com , really looking forward to Cosmic Invasion, but I have one problem. There’s 15 available characters, 15/2=7.5. This game needs to be 7.5 players.
…
…Ok, that might be a little extreme, but you people spoilt me with Shredder’s Revenge being 6 players on Switch.

Is it just my foggy memory, or was one location previewed in the #marioGalaxymovie from Mario Odyssey? Makes sense, since they’re obviously not making a film of every game, just still a surprise.

I think the most hilarious reply is when someone who doesn't realise it was done by AI says that AI could do it all better.

Idea for a new cute girls doing cute things anime, but it’s a running club, and most of the running is like the guy’s swimming in Golden Boy. Also works for a Swimming club anime.
