What is with all the YouTube ads with bad voiceovers?? Are using bad audio and weak voice actresses to imitate influencers? It could be AI but why CHOOSE to make your AI voice sound like that?

Aww! I found the birth certificate for my Pound Puppies! …I have no idea where any of these dogs are

Here’s a Walt Disney World kids menu that’s also a mask

Had to take pictures of this Walt Disney World menu before I threw it away just for the 90s graphic design

IT CAME! 8D 👾

Back from the psychiatrist! It was uneventful!🎉

I’m thankful to have a good therapist at least.

I have projects I’m happily working on. I have plans for my website and I’m looking in to making video games but if say anything thing about that she’ll probably say something annoying. It’s going to be very difficult to describe the kind of games I’m interested in

I have an appointment with my idiot psychiatrist today. She doesn’t understand anything about being an artist or take anything art related seriously so I have to think about how I can avoid telling her anything about myself.

I bought a Switch lite on New Year’s Day and I’m counting the days until I get an email conformation that it’s been sent. It feels like an eternity but I suppose that’s what I get for ordering on a holiday. Aw man, the sales in the Nintendo store are gonna be over by the time I get it.

Have any game or movie done that yet? It’s not a bad idea for an enemy it just begs the question of who keeps sending these people in and at what point does SOMEONE say stop?

Something about Pokemon Tower that never occurred to me before it that it’s filled with Shito priestesses who are possessed by ghosts after assumably being sent in to exorcise the ghosts. It’s like going into a house and being attacked by the dozens of Catholic priests sent in to exorcise the demons

In early Edo times a superstition emerged that dreaming of the following was particularly auspicious:
*Ichi-Fuji (一富士 Mt. Fuji)
*Ni-taka (二鷹 a Hawk)
*San-nasubi (三茄子 an Eggplant)

Although there are theories, it's unclear why these objects were placed together on a list.

wow, the lack of comma between “eating” and “people” really threw me off for a moment

Prior to this thread I mean

Do you know what they do?

Sam and I whipped up this post in less than a day so if there’s anyone more familiar with this European tradition than a canuck and a yank don’t be afraid to pipe up!

This year’s lemon pig! 🍋🐖

For more context, I’m asking cus I’m writing about yokai

I hope to meet more folklore nerds in the new year🙏🎍

in case I need to clarify, from a tv show and NOT books. They showed an example from a tv show and then said that the brownie/human relationship was respectful that's not how I’ve ever heard it.

Do you think the average person with a decent understanding of fantasy things knows what a brownie is? I’d like to think so since I’ve always known about them but I saw a video where someone clearly got their information from a tv show so I’m not so sure

May 2026 be a fun year full of stupid horse like creatures!

I didn’t post this on Xmas just to be cute btw. My brother had a health scare so me, my ‘rents and my dog had to suddenly pack up and stay in a hotel for the whole week. My bro’s situation thankfully improved but this picture of my dog better encaptures the overall feel of the week.

It’s been a rough week

This achievement is only slightly dampened by the terrible back pixel art all the Pokemon have in the gen 1 games.
