photograph from the 80's of the wrestler Sting wearing a Gold's Gym shirt and sunglasses, leaning against a shelf in a bookstore and positively cheesing at an open copy of The Far Side Gallery 2, a collection of Far Side Cartoons.

what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇

Hollywood is COOKED

I made this $50,000,000 movie for free using AI

TAKE THE SHOT

86 hours (!) into Yakuza 8: I'm so tired. I miss Tiger Drop. I want to Tiger Drop some asshole so bad. I've wanted to Tiger Drop some jerk for the last 30+ hours...

...I might start up Judgment again to Tiger Drop dudes. Also I read there's a boss track in Lost Judgment that's amazing or something.

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

I liked RED WOLF so much when you showed it during a Mindmelter that I chased down a (pretty bad) DVD copy of it. It also has AWAKEN PUNCH on it, which I still haven't gotten around to watching.

KILL BILL is the coolest mixtape a guy ever gave you, and coming back to it later after years of hearing the original songs, you realize the mixtape guy re-recorded all the songs on the tape, and included himself going "Scibbidibop!" all over them for some reason. Also, the guy really really sucks.

Good on him.

That said, we also need to break the monopoly of Apple and Google so that authoritarian governments can't censor any app they want with two phone calls.

Mark your calendars. The Holiday Movie Mind Melter is happening on December 20th.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage: doodlemancy.dreamwidth.org/20757.html

an illustration featuring a jackalope levitating in the void with a red ribbon flowing around it that says 'if it doesn't exist, make it.'

If It Doesn't Exist, MAKE IT.

Aka. The motivational bnuy.

Oh yeah great idea, BRAIN BOY!

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

#3157 A helpful tutorial

Too many came to mind to just respond with one. Protoman, Metal Man, & Knuckles were early favorites (my favorite color isn't even red). I actually liked a lot of the Robot Masters' looks. Not too complicated but totally unique...a bit like Pokemon actually. And easy to (try to) draw as a kid.

Gold Coins. I like the idea of a one valuable currency becoming worthless. Also destroying wealth bringing good luck.

VS Trapper Keeper?! Or school supplies in general I guess?

You & the capitulating 8 shouldn't have jobs. By buckling you've given credence to the idea that the shutdown was on the democrats' back and in return have won nothing. Why believe their "promises" when we can't even believe yours?

You're all traitors complicit in this country's continued decline.

That White Space issue is kinda lame. I'm determined (for now) to see this through in Python but after this I'll probably look into a different language.

- Why is there a syntax error? (S: Online IDE isn't 3.10, can't match case)
- Why is there a syntax error? (S: invisible white space on an "empty" line...)
Day 2-Why won't my function return anything? (S: I don't remember)
- Why is my function just returning None? (S: I don't know, it is maddening)

Python first project coding progress:
- I need this to do 3 Things (Solution: Focus on one Thing for now)
- I need to interpret +/- from a string input and have it act as the operator (S: focus on a different Thing for now)
- Why is it closing when I run it? (S: I need debugging, sorry Notepad ++)

try again, but harder

I want people to experience what I see in my mind! I believe in what they are (and I've had other people say they like what I'm describing too!), but I lack the experience & confidence to think they'd be "worth making" as well as the money to pay others what they're worth to work on them.

I need to figure out what to do with the game (& story) ideas I have. I don't have the skills necessary to realize them myself in a meaningful way. I love thinking about them and even "developing" them as much as I'm able to, but eventually I feel haunted from holding onto them as unrealized ideas.

Also a big part of one of one of my favorite episodes of Columbo!
