one of those things young'uns these days cannot understand ... how in the late90s early 2000s, being online was a hobby it was something you *did* not something you just *were*

I know it's tiring to see genAI everywhere but you can see how worse it's gotten now and I think it's better to be vocal about it and say just NO to that whole bullshit and be extremely critical too. It's tiring but I don't think we should give up.

Ai stole from us. it looks like our art because it is stealing OUR art. And now we get to add mitigation of ai blowback to our list of things to manage as artists. 🙃

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

We gotta make it socially embarrassing to use AI detectors. It just feeds people's work into AI to have the machines that can't spell strawberry guess if it's AI.

Why we probably haven't gotten HD remasters of the #anipoke TV series yet. bulbagarden.net/threads/why-...

On this day in 1998, 28 years ago, Pokémon The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back, was first released in Japan. This movie had Ash invited to New Island to face the strongest Pokémon Trainer who turns out to be Mewtwo! www.serebii.net/movies/mewtwo

My laptop suddenly won't stop blue screening… No warning signs no nothing, just blue screens shortly after restarting 😭 I'm running a diagnostic to see if it detects what's causing it. Hopefully it'll be an easy fix, I don't want to buy a new one yet. :c

I don't like that larper has become a new insult, considering larping is an actual cool and niche hobby, and we already had words like poser or performative loser.

European animation is getting its own sustainability certification. A new program called ANiMPACT is testing a certification system that will allow animation studios to prove they’re producing projects in an environmentally responsible way.

Its difficult to put my my anger over this into words. The modern Backrooms was born from the collective effort of thousands. That collaboration, all that passion/time was freely given because it made people happy. Now its being monetized. Its exactly like Ai and the internet.

:deep sigh: I see we are again doing "[romantasy] gives women an access point to fantasy, a traditionally male-heavy genre, both in authorship and fandom," as if there have not been women reading and writing fantasy for literal decades

On this day in 1999, 27 years ago, the 2nd movie, Pokémon 2000 - The Power of One, known in Japan as Revelation Lugia, was first released. This movie had Ash work to save Lugia from an evil collector and save the world doing so. serebii.net/movies/lugia/

Another perk of leaving Twitter I hadn't considered until now: I don't get HxH spoiled every week by people who post leaks without filters. 😌 (I'm seeing people complaining about getting a big thing spoiled, which used to happen a lot over there)

you can bypass bluesky's age gate with a ublock origin filter, among other methods detailed here

I’m not surprised but still equally disgusted hearing Netflix use generative AI in their films and shows as of late. It’s just appalling and disgraceful to the hard working artists working in film and television and Netflix should be ashamed for using it. It’s not the future.

Canicule: au moins 12.000 décès excédentaires ont été enregistrés dans une dizaine de pays européens au cœur de la vague de chaleur en juin, selon une compilation de données nationales réalisée par l'AFP. Un bilan partiel qui risque de s'alourdir au fil des remontées statistiques.

And please, don't go harassing people or your friends who play hoyo games. I know it's frustrating. But the goal isn't to start a witch hunt... instead try to raise awareness about the issue and how it's not worth to support these companies anymore

😬 Well, another reminder to stop supporting Hoyo and please STOP GIVING THEM YOUR MONEY. I enjoyed playing their games before but that’s where it ends for me. You can't pretend not to see the problem and still supporting them lol

Remember folks, if buying isn’t ownership, piracy isn’t theft.

I found out not too long ago that the famous scene with Mufasa's ghost in The Lion King was mainly designed by Chris Sanders and I found concept art of his work on that scene. It explained so much when I found out.

It's a very conservative industry, so as soon as you try something new and it doesn't work, that lesson gets applied to anything even remotely similar FOREVER. It's why we need more studios, so a bomb at one doesn't rule out a different studio still trying. More studios = healthy experimentation

"Rules" in the film industry happen and then get passed down through the generations of executives from one to the next. None of the people who were involved in those movies are around anymore, but the lessons learned from them leave a deep scar on a company. It becomes a legend within the studio.

We are still feeling the effects of these 3 movies bombing in the early 2000's. Every single "adults/teens won't watch animated movies" or "No one wants to watch a 2D animated movie in theaters" etc. can be traced back to these 3 movies bombing. I'm being a bit hyperbolic, but also not.
