I AM A PATRON OF THE ARTS

I've been getting deep into those shitty micro-dramas tiktok ads are always hawking and I was watching one and I had to find a way to screen grab it because am I crazy or is that just Bruce Faulconer's Pefect Cell Theme?

Did not know TCG Shop Simulator had God Packs.

tv shows should do what sports broadcasts do and thank new audiences that are just now joining them. every five minutes, all the actors should look at the screen, introduce themselves and their characters, and announce which of them is winning the show

My family does random small gifts in the "Christmas Pie" which I don't know how to explain, but mine was a clown wig.

Let's celebrate Christmas by ignoring it entirely. What are your favorite settings in video games? Not the game itself, just the PLACE. For me it's Dead Rising. Just the tackiest, wackiest, shopping mall ever conceived. Honorable mentions TLOZ: Wind Waker and Darkest Dungeon.

Merry Christmas and also I didn't know it was actually Christmas because I've been doing family Christmas shit for like 4 days.

Immediately and excitedly agreeing with the Green Goblin mask to the point I make it uncomfortable and it stops wanting to talk

What if none of the other reindeer liked Rudolph because he was mean like Liz Lemon

I think we should make Mr. Beast do the things Mr. Beast makes other people do.

Guys, they're plagiarizing my plagiarism :(

Without Jenny Nicholson, hbomberbuy, and Defunctland, I don't think I'd ever fall asleep.

Good things can still happen.

Having a hard night. Wrote my first poem.

AI has no place in the creative process. That’s it.

It seems like a lot is happening all the time in the grand scheme of things. But I tend to focus on my corner of the world; an infinitesimal scheme of things. And a lot went on in that realm today as well.

Also, to be clear about where I stand, I think it should be obvious that if you've gotten professional work in the anime space, you have no fucking business encroaching on an opportunity that is explicitly meant for unknown talent to show what they can do, and you're an idiot if you don't see that.

Tried to record a con announcement video outside because the lighting was better and then...

Roughly 3 weeks after Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my friends that are still on Twitter for sharing the drama surrounding the Bang Zoom auditions with me.

"Mom... MOM!"

did it in four words hemmingway

Hey? Don't sign up for Rocket Money. Enter code "WhyWouldIGiveARandomTechStartUpAccessToAllMyFinancialInformation" at their free trial screen.

When playing Sleeping Dogs, it's important to note that one of the graphics settings is a secret difficulty setting. World Density will make everything so much harder when you set it to High or Extreme. There are just people and cars EVERYWHERE. Forget what it does to the GPU. It fucks with the flow

Darkest Dungeon is probably one of the best video games ever made.

I asked a guy at my autograph table recently if he was recording me with his meta glasses and I've never seen anyone more embarrassed. They legitimately think you can't tell.

Wet bird.

Anyway, fuck AI from top to bottom. I used to think it could provide value in extremely specific sectors. But the folks that own it seem to be hellbent on using it to convince people to kill themselves and steal jobs and do them worse rather than utilize it for anything meaningful. I'm going to bed.

Not to be all "comedians are modern-day philosophers" about it, but I am legitimately fascinated by the way Caleb Hearon expresses his opinions.

If you like HBomberGuy (first of all, remember my table was next to his at Akumakon 2023, but, more importantly) check out Folding Ideas on youtube.

This is my favorite music video. You really can't beat a well animated short story.

Creators can still make their own CCs on YouTube. What they removed was the ability for communities to create subs for the creator. That did and does suck, especially for other languages

Correction: credit @jumpman-md.bsky.social Creators can still upload their own closed captions, but YouTube has removed the functionality that allowed community captions, or suggested subtitles provided by the public.

this is the dumbest dystopia man

Sounds like it sucks in every possible way then, so into the trash with it

To be clear, this is just as bad as the Amazon AI dub thing. Not as much to meme about, but definitely just as bad. Remember when YouTube switched over to AI closed captions, removed the options for creators to provide their own, and then they all got immediately worse forever? This is like that.

They're calling it the best midterm messaging of all time

I was as mad as anyone when they removed comments from the Crunchyroll site, and I still think hiring a moderation team and providing them with a good tool set would have been a better solution than nuking the feature entirely. But looking at the comments on any Crunchyroll YouTube video... I get it

I hate Star Wars when someone is trying to show it to me or make me read about it, but the video games are good.

This concludes Dallas Reid's self-indulgent music hour. Thank you for participating. And for anyone who didn't unfollow, thank you for sticking around. This was fun for me. I hope it was not too annoying for you.

Okay, actually last one. Also from Amigo the Devil. Let's end the night on a truly depressing note. If you want to stare at the ceiling for a while, this is the tune to do it to.

Alright, last one. Amigo the Devil is an artist worth following.

Back to regular songs. mxmtoon has a chokehold on me lately.

Gorgeous cacophony.

Another one.

Here come a couple from my favorite insufferable mash-up album. Mouth Sounds by Neil Cicieraga.

Perhaps the most niche share of the night. This is the theme song of my favorite podcast (Knowledge Fight) about how much Alex Jones and other right-wing media figures suck and it absolutely whips ass.

Bet you didn't think I'd include a Sea Shanty, but look at you now, idiot. I bang this in the car every day.

This one is wicked specific, but I'm writing the dub script for With You Our Love Will Make it Through and the ending theme always reminds me of this song (which I love very much)

Look, I know he's primarily known as a musical comedian and a lot of his best work is heavily autotuned. But the way Bo Burnham transforms his voice for this song is transcendent.

Obviously this is studio audio played over a live performance, but I'm an emo kid till I die and I will always love Chiodos.
