back in the day you really could just name a movie “the old dark house” and it would be completely okay. nobody would point and laugh at you because being snarky hadn’t been invented yet

(guy whose only exposure to film discussion is from animation bsky) if you all don't go to the movie theater and buy tickets for digger RIGHT NOW, warner bros is going to stop making original movies, pump out more slop sequels, and put down tom cruise like a sick dog. and it'll be YOUR FAULT

lately i feel less inclined to draw silly little character pieces because it feels so hollow. i’m glad people like them for sure and i’m proud of them but i don’t think i’m getting much out of making art that isn’t actively saying something and making a point to the viewer

if you make art that’s weird, gross, and/or transgressive there’s a non-zero chance that someone will get really mad at you and ruin your life about it (bad; scary). however, this basically guarantees you martyr status among the coolest people alive so you might as well just make the art anyways

i have been thinking about this a bunch in relation to the story i’m working on and i agree w/the premise but idk it just feels sad that we’re basically warning each other against making art that’s too lighthearted lest it attract the fascist hordes now

one of the few things i miss about my old job is that everyone gave so few shits about professionalism that my manager would be showing me charlie kirk memes on the clock

it's kind of funny how things can just happen like this

The domino meme, where on the bottom right is the text "Merchant character from Dragon Quest 4 gets a spin-off title where he gets treasure from a dungeon to provide for his family", referencing the first ever Mystery Dungeon game, Torneko's Great Adventure. On the top left at the big domino is the text "People want to turn into Pokemon", referencing how the creation of the Mystery Dungeon series led to the creation of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and its plot involving the main character being a human transformed into a Pokemon, causing a lot of people to recognize their love for Pokemon transformation as well as other related aspects.

now that i know the new layton was made w/ai my favorite thing from today’s direct might genuinely be torneko’s mystery dungeon bc i adore the concept of a mystery dungeon game where you play as a fat little middle-aged man. can’t wait for my switch to charge more so i can bang out a few hours

i hope the new ocarina of time voice acting makes everyone stop whining about lack of voice acting in pokemon forever. like you know this is what you’d get right?

my new rule for scrolling algorithmic feeds is called the “shut up dude” rule. if you run into 5 posts that make you think “shut up dude” in one sitting it’s time to close the app

the little blurbs under the trending topics on here are like the one use of AI i can defend because if someone told me my job was to monitor and summarize bluesky discourse 24/7 i would start committing acts of evil

i do kind of love how ugly and fucked up some of the results of dlss5 processing look for the same reason i love hyper realistic minecraft textures but it isn’t worth draining an entire lake and causing ram prices to skyrocket

i think the mold is actually getting to me and causing health problems now that i got too close to it and definitely breathed some in while cleaning like a dumb fucking moron. it was demoralizing before but now that i have a sore throat and can't stop coughing i really feel like i'm suffering

my personal equivalent of every beloved celebrity dropping dead within days of each other is watching the mold problem in my apartment destroy my beloved possessions one by one

refreshing my local independent theater’s website to check if they’re playing coyote vs. acme like i’m opening the fridge expecting a rotisserie chicken to spawn inside (they won’t because their income depends on playing 90% mainstream blockbusters)

people love to hate on vampire survivors for being a googoo gaga ipad baby brain game which it kind of is but imo it’s important and good to have games in that niche that are well-crafted and not packed with microtransactions
