holy shit this is such a solid, very specific burn

im sure that’s true. i’m not out here analyzing box office take or gatekeeping what has a fandom or doesn’t. but from what little i understand of the modern world, fandom is like life on earth. that shit can grow anywhere. i can go on tumblr right now and find ten fandoms i had no idea existed.

that’s such a weird concept, to say they make money yet no one cares…like, they literally made a documentary about the avatar fandom? the crux is there’s no monolithic culture anymore. everyone has their own blorbos. jason pargin posted about this recently—people crave validation of their love/hate

do not recall where i saw someone's post saying they should just keep the heels and sell them in a separate bag for us freaks but i would absolutely buy that. never understood heel hatred

lol this is a rancid take and i will not award you the clicks. trust me, we don’t want him haha

the usage of that word by US government officials has bothered me for almost twenty-five years and it still sickens me to this day. these people have been working toward this forever and they’ve been getting away with it in plain sight…people act as if it hasn’t been a going concern since Columbus

was it VistaPro? i think that was what the program i had on pc was called.

Listen here, I will not take this Babu Frik slander. I love that little shit, a lone beacon of joy out of a movie of pure spite.

People who use genAI *first* use it on the parts of a project they give the least shit about, and are most incurious about.

They spray the low-hanging fruit with dogshit.

this exactly, don’t threaten me with a good time, i already play hardly any AAA games as it is.

i was just about to buy a new indie game on steam. the dev did not disclose their use of AI. luckily, helpful reviewers did. regular people are keeping hope alive.

why can i hear them screaming in unison

i guess i was hoping for a second pic, but if they’re as similar as my two, i have one already.

congratulations on your son, he looks like a very healthy boy

update: i suppose my machines are basically twins, i didn’t realize they were so alike.

that is amazing. is the washer also a blorbo?

check it out sometime! i believe it is usually illustrated and several different illustrators have done editions of it, there is one by marcel dzama which i have not read but looks very cool.

i just discovered there is a german film adaptation as well and i want to try and find it somehow.

yeah the book is spectacular, obviously it outdoes the movie but i came to the movie first. have you also read Momo? it’s very good as well

for whatever reason your comment made me think of this scene which my friend and i quote to each other all the time. it ties in nicely to the concept of fiercely imagining books to the point of being immersed in them.

youtu.be/DsKaLIWGS4I?...

oh, this is absolutely our game. they are trying to sell AI as playing it, but it’s not even close.

i feel for people that don’t love to read books, and only have films/tv adaptations. they have one version of the story in their minds. we are able to access the full possibility space, and more.
