I hope Nintendo has a change of heart and gives us a mid-gen refresh of the Switch 2 Pro Controller that features analog triggers for 3rd party parity. I know it'd be a Circle Pad Pro or New 3DS situation where not everyone will buy one so most games won't mandate the controller's use, but still.

Main thing that kept me using my Switch lite was the fact that Switch 1 games looked better on the native 720p screen vs being blurry on the Switch 2's 1080p screen, but now that handheld boost mode on Switch 2 is a thing, I may start using my Switch 2 in handheld for Switch 1 games a lot more.

Tbh I thought this would've been a feature at launch and was sad it wasn't, but now its here 🔥

Also one thing I like about One Piece live action so far is that it really feels like a melting pot of several different accents coexisting with no one batting an eye. Doesn't feel like there was the usual hollywood casting rule of "must have or be able to mimic an American accent.

Saw a review of Live Action One Piece Season 2 where they said the scene composition and camera work was flatter and less dynamic than Season 1, and while that's true now that I think about it, I'm just glad there weren't as many of those weird close-up fisheye lens shots in Season 2, lol

One of the best ads for owning a car would be someone sitting in a crowded, loud chatty breakroom on their lunchbreak wishing for solitude vs another person vibing on their lunchbreak in a quiet car. Thats like the main thing that has me wanting one soon, personal space on wheels, lol.

Also in a perfect world, phones would still come with radio tuners again, along with, dare I say it, over-the-air digital TV tuners. Feel like pausing streaming subscriptions for awhile but still want background noise? Radio and TV would be right there.

Preordered the Clicks Power Keyboard. Crazy how it took this long for a product like it to exist. I still remember mentioning how much better the multitasking split-screen mode on my S24U would be if there were a separate screen or small keyboard, and then it got announced shortly afterwards lol.

I feel a long walk/ bike ride comin' on with my next day off. I need to plan my next moves, this SubStar thing's derailed some of my plans for the year.

Individual websites will not save us. Running from platform A to platform B will not work as payment processors and legislation will simply follow our trail You have to speak out against censorship and surveillance legislation. Its the source of all of this. Call your reps

I binged all of Season 1 of live action One Piece in one night when that came out, but for Season 2 I think I'll try and do an episode or 2 a night instead, lol.

So SubscribeStar quietly updated their terms very recently, with Patreon-level restrictions on what can be posted now, removing the main point people even had to choose them over Patreon, as Patreon has the larger userbase and easier payment system. Considering turning it into just a tip jar soon.

A reminder to call your reps today! KOSA has been sandwiched into the KIDS Act and is still a huge censorship threat. You can use this tool- it takes just a few minutes: www.badinternetbills.com

Hope not, as there's not much else after this unless everyone comes to a consensus on where the next big spot would be. Plus the whole 'trying to reupload as many old arts as possible on a new site' thing gets old & is very time consuming if you're someone with hundreds of drawings spanning a decade

Girl next door

Happy women!

Its gonna suck losing an hour of sleep tonight, but I'm looking forward to the sun still being up after I leave work because now I can take after-work bike rides again in the evenings which is a good stress reliever.

I know his era went on long enough and it needed to end, but when thinking of the Gen 10 starters just now, I was like "I wonder which one Ash will get this time or if they'll end up giving him more than one again-" then I was like "..oh." only took a whole gen for it to really start sinking in, lol

Spread the word, an ACTUAL replacement for Flash is on the horizon! Go support this project NOW!!!!!!!! bill.newgrounds.com/news/post/16...

Hi hello just QRPing some info abt this coming in from the other site. This news is fake, it was a hallucination.

Youtubers needing BG music for their video: "Its time to bust out Ol' Reliable..." *Wii Menu music*

I'd hate to take half a year adjusting to another art program all over again, but if this happens and they try to force people to upgrade like they did with 11, I really would fully switch from CSP to Krita and then haul ass back to Linux for the first time since 2016.

This is a fun idea but some rich asshole with a sub is probably gonna ruin it for everybody if they find it before the series actually ends. 😬

Bills like KOSA and more only become more dangerous Demand your representatives -oppose KOSA -oppose the App Store Accountability Act -oppose The SCREEN Act -section 230 reform/sunsetting -oppose/repeal online age verification and ID laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

According to payment processors, purchasing fictional sexy art is grossly immoral. Betting on school children getting blown up is fine though.

RIP to everyone who didnt know that discord recently switched gif providers from tenor to giphy and didn't find their perfect gif in time before the server convo changed

Was just thinking again about how much Avatar TLA feels more like a Cartoon Network show than a Nickelodeon one, to the point that I'm surprised Nick didn't pass on it initially. I think what's also interesting is that it and Korra came and went without influencing Nick to make other shows like them

Heads up for anyone subscribed to me or to any artists on Substar: please check if your card info is still in your account settings as it may have been removed recently and you'll likely just have to re-add it to keep your subscriptions.

I wish Gamefreak were this chill and mindful about not rushing a mainline game out for an anniversary 10 years ago so we could've got Pokémon Z instead of rushing so fast to gen 7, lol

Trade in value for S24 Ultra towards the S26 Ultra seems to be pretty good. Problem is I never wanna give up my S24U, I love its functional design with its square corners, lol. If I ever upgrade to another samsung flagship I'd have to buy it at full price while keeping the S24U as a backup/ keepsake

Pokemon Gen 10 getting a 2027 release is good, because not only is it seemingly not being rushed, but it also gives me plenty of time to get caught up, as I'm like 3 regions behind still, lol

Hey pirates you should maybe go archive as much Cartoon Network stuff as possible now.

Looks like Paramount's getting WB after all. Mainstream media in general is going rightwing af now. Staying indie forever is fine I guess.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

Really gonna miss Smiling Friends, its lighthearted humor is what we all needed right now. If they ever feel up to having one last hurrah, I hope they come back and give us a movie. Amazing to think about how it started as an April Fools pilot and no one knew if it would even be greenlit.

Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel have confirmed that Smiling Friends will end with Season 3 — a decision they made themselves. The series will wrap with its two remaining episodes airing in the future. (Link: youtu.be/jwS2iF3VE3U?...)

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

Crazy to me how for the most part, all of Mario Kart World's soundtrack has made it onto youtube in decent, un-crunchy quality... except the main theme of the game, which only as a few uploads and every one sounds crunchy, lol

If it weren't for the super niche benefit of my smartphone being a pocket digital sketchpad that makes it to where I don't have to lug around a tablet or a traditional sketchbook in a separate bag, I'd probably have tried out the dumbphone trend by now.

Hoping I can finish the remaining comms I'm currently doing on my next day off. Its always a little difficult trying to focus on them after work. Still wanna train myself to do quality stuff even on a work night, as I have way more of those than well-rested days off in any given week.

Pixar wouldn't be ballsy enough, but I just realized that the tablet villain in Toy Story 5 has a front facing camera, on top of already listening and recording anything the toys say. If she really wanted to, she could threaten to expose the fact that the toys are alive to the humans, lol

I am kind of scared about how fast all of these sites are kind of just pointing the gun at you to hand over your personal information. Feels like the opposite of everything i learned about internet safety when i was in elementary school

It was already my plan, but yeah, the recent news of Xbox management shaking up so massively feels like the final nail in the coffin for Xbox; I'm gonna use my Series consoles for as long as possible/ until their wheels fall off, but next gen I'll switch back to Sony for the 1st time since the PS2.

Once the Gamesir Pocket Taco comes out next month, It could be over for many of the dedicated emulation handhelds I've bought, atleast as far as Gameboy games go, lol. The only thing sparing the other handheld's lives are the fact that this thing doesn't have analog sticks.
