iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

strong, martial rulers who were good on a horse and skilled hunters, sorta thing But yeah in actuality even with that strong equestrian and hunting tradition, Manchurians were not nomadic and had farms lol

it's also one of those weird tasks the Qing Dynasty had to maintain, where simultaneously as they had to perform benevolent and educated ruler for the scholar officials and gentry in China, for the folks back home in Manchuria and Steppe portions of the Empire they had to present themselves as...

it's a somewhat understandable confusion since that's sort of one of the "faces" they tried to present to the world. While not nomadic they were steppe-like in the sense they had a strong equestrian and archery tradition, and this presentation was often used to pacify the central plains people

explaining to people that all the feral domesticated rabbits aren't native to this area and in fact didn't even come here on their own but exist entirely because kids kept getting parents to get them pet bunnies and releasing them into the parks when taking care of them turned out to be really hard

must feel great to work on a mixed media project and have the rest of the media fail around you lmao granted, that situation made Kemono Friends good, and then when the anime revived the rest of the mixed media, it became bad, so I guess it's just down to how cool the people on the ground are

The Cartoon Network leak revealed that the team actually wrote fake interviews for the Powerpuff Girls in-house so that the writers could understand them better and honestly this is incredibly useful for learning how to characterize your characters holy shit

New: I pulled the Character ai bankruptcy documents. They show: - They were spending $14 million/month on compute alone at a time their revenue was around ~$1 million/month - Currently losing $9 million a month - They admitted they enshittified & that it didnt work www.404media.co/character-ai...

they claimed they would get it performant enough that it'd only require one 5090, but, well, even assuming that was true apparently you won't be able to get the one 5090 anymore, not that anyone should want to use dlss5 lol

this makes that dlss5 demo that required 2 5090's even funnier

every vtuber I watch is stunlocked by how beefcake Severian is but tbh I can't get over how badly his suit fits it doesn't look right and I get that it's to emphasize his boobs but they should've given him a suit that fits and then, idk, have his ult rip it off to reveal a skintight undershirt

staying up to date on new releases is, like, a matter of taste, or an occupational necessity, or the interest in-and-of itself. Enjoying the social or critical experience of "being current" is actually a separate hobby from the medium itself.

I think as long as someone keeps trying stuff that is new to them, then their tastes aren't really becoming stagnant, regardless of whether they spend time on new releases. Getting stuck on the same handful of favs is one thing, but tbh I could spend a few years on just JP PC Engine titles

h artists getting their OC's published as manga, often starting as a Twitter comic, has been such a strong force in the boys' romcom scene lol doesn't seem like this is entirely one of those cases, but clearly a beneficiary of the general mood nonetheless

right, I guess that's what makes the meme believable there are so many lines mistranslated as White Woman in that fanTL because Nasu loved writing about sickly pale, ethereal skin in that game lol

honestly it's been a long time so I'm not even 100% sure that's in the actual fanTL but it certainly matches my memory for the weird way a lot of that TL was like

Many municipal candidate platforms cite the need to freeze or reduce property taxes, find “efficiencies” and “live within our means.” Is that a reasonable promise? @akkabah.bsky.social reports from Powell River. thetyee.ca/News/2026/10...

maybe they made them easier to spot in the SNES remake or something
