I think one reason authors stay away from writing same gender couples is how hard it is to keep track of who is who in any given interaction. 🤭

I just realized Muse is the closest thing to a direct continuation of Queen's musical style, at least that I know of. Not sure what to make of it, though.

I have been noticing a trend of gyaru characters being functionally used as manic pixie dreamgirls. Not sure if the label applies though. Not my culture, I lack knowledge and context, and I only see them in works that make their way to western spheres, so there's also a selection bias.

Sure, "karl". As per our previous letter: "ENOUGH WITH THE DAMN PINS, AND SEND THE FUCKING SALTPETER ALREADY, ABIGAIL!" Yours, John Adamns I have to watch 1776 again soon...

Never seen it. What I noticed recently is the like/dislike buttons being pushed further to the right to make way for the "join" button.

Don't say "kill the bitch", it's common and uncouth. Instead say "perish the thot", it's more elegant and sophisticated. 😁

I think of how media now is less episodic and the stories move forward at a more consistent pace, and how that structure is much better suited as a template for young people trying to take a shit at DMing. Is the new generations brain better wired by the new media landscape to avoid those pitfalls?

Never letting the main characters achieve any kind of permanent victory until they have been edged for 40 or so weekly episodes. That structure doesn't lend itself for the best playing experience.

For trying to tell their story in a way that threw player agency out of the window, basing the flow of their story on serial media, the kind that would reset the status quo at the end of every adventure.

Leandro @leandrobraga.bsky.social · 24/07/2025
I can see how insecurity would play a part at both ends. And lack of communication skills. No shared vision on what the game would be about. But there was also incompetence. On the players to engage with the hooks properly, to understand the opportunities presented by the DM. But also on the DM...

that would allow the villain to escape or be imune to our attacks or whatever happens to fit the situation.

Players made plans away from the DM so they wouldn't sabotage it, only for the DM to still notallow us to win, their excuses getting progressively more ridiculous as we tried to antecipate their next bullshit item/power...

It felt like the DMs didn't want us to "win", either because that would mean they were loosing to us, or because it would derail the story they had on their heads. We were "supposed" to loose every other encounter in some way or another.

Sure, studio executives would welcome AI so advanced that they would no longer have to pay for writers, actors, production. But when AI can do all that, what will be the point of a studio? They are cheering for their own replacement and they don't even realize it.

A site where you can upload an image, select a skin tone and a timeline to see how your tattoo ideia would age. I feel like this would make a consistent anount of ad money.

Hayao Miyazaki is the artist that illustrated and animated our childhoods. He gave us so much, he is the architect of so much of our inner lives, and that's how you pay him.

People I know, who are independent writers, are doing the AI Ghibli "art" syle trend. I don't know if they are just dumb or total hypocrites, but it pisses me off to see fellow artists doing shit like that just because they are not on the same medium.

2022's The Batman's Batman is a little weeb, eyeliner-wearing edgelord orfan with horn-looking ears that calls himself "Vengeance". He is basically a Thiefling.

Sorry, forgot to capitalize Deathmatch. I don't really want them to kill each other, I just want a stop motion short of them doing it, like in the old MTV show.

Funny coincidence, I just went to buy groceries and saw a guy singing to himself as he walked, either oblivious to or uninterested in the funny faces of the few other people on the sidewalk. He wasn't being loud either, just happy.

Leandro @leandrobraga.bsky.social · 17/01/2025
When did we decide as a society that singing is something only professionals can do? It's instinctive, and a fun activity to do either alone or as a group, but it seems there's this layer of shame directed at anyone that dares to be happy without being good at it, which people seem eager to enforce.

3 times a week I start typing a funny thing on bsky, then I realize it fails to consider all of the nuance, start adding more clarifying text, realize what I'm really doing is writing an essay on my phone, so I delete it all and close the page. It should be frustrating, but it's oddly satisfying.

Good news #2: it turns out there is much more adventure and plot that I just didn't watch the first time around. Considering there was 6 of us and a single television to watch stuff on, and we only had 4 channels of broadcast television growing up, it's no wonder I missed a lot of episodes.

Good news #1: although there is no Portuguese sub, there is a Spanish dub, and it's actualy very good. Not that I speak Spanish, but it turns out I can understand it just fine, and I'm getting better at it.

Unfortunately, there are no subtitles available for DBZ in my country, and since I don't speak japanese, I have no option but to watch the dub. And in the dubbed version, Gohan's voice is 10x more annoying.

And the literal three act structure of the tournaments, spanning multiple seasons. Well done.

One thing that surprised me was how much the background art from the original series caught my attention. So many beautiful mountains, clouds, fields and forests. Things I could not appreciate as a child when I first started watching it.

Leandro @leandrobraga.bsky.social · 30/12/2024
Finished watching Dragon Ball, the original series, and finaly closed the lore gap I still had between it and DBZ. It also eased the transition between the fun adventure series and the more boring fighting archs of the later series. Maybe now I can watch DBZ with less of a sense of loss.

Also, I am making the arbitrary distinction that a dad joke may be anoying and try to get a reaction out of you, but it will not try to outright offend you. If it crosses that line, it becomes an uncle joke, and that's another beast entirely.

Oh damn! I would guess those are either bots or trolls, jumping ships from the old site. Hope they fail to get traction here. I've seen people mentioning that blocking and not interacting is the best way to avoid and starve those accounts, which seems healthy. Keep up the good work :)

I hear a lot of people talking about how nostalgia and unending sequels are a bad result of capitalism, which I don't disagree with. But maybe it's just as a symptom of how shitty we all feel as a society. I think the market is just responding to a cultural moment, not the other way around.
