When I was between 10 and 13, Sci-Fi aired "Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer," seemingly once ever. I caught the entire thing, and didn't quite believe it actually existed for years.

You could probably swap out "trans people" with "vegetarians", and the venn diagram of weirdos foaming at the mouth in anger about the group would be a circle. It's the exact same kind of person who obsesses over how other people live their lives. No normal person really gives a shit!

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

For a story about seducing an evangelical into losing his virginity on a busted skeeball table, this chapter of long running webcomic Pilotside Chronicle sure has some wild things to say about medium, subjective memory, and the unreliability of narrators. Hey, look at this comic: #comic #webcomic

Haven't seen "It's a Wonderful Life" since I was 5, decided to try to legally stream it, and it kept crashing my entire TV, so I watched "Speed" instead. Basically the same thing.

you know how they don't show characters going to the bathroom in movies, generally speaking? when you have a character go "he's getting a lot of negative Fleeps on Florper" it feels like you just cut to video from a characters colonoscopy

Taking some time to remind myself that I design characters to be horny and then make them sad, not the other way around.
