See - now THAT'S the America I love. Y'all were built on telling authority to go fuck itself when it steps over the line. Stay the course, friends.

Hey so it's time to start financially supporting independent media production otherwise there will basically be no more professional media production and what little that IS produced will be controlled by quisling goblins who protect pedophiles and blame trans people

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

At that point in Clair Obscur where my ears have been graced by "Une vie a t'aimer". I fear I may have a new benchmark for incredible music from video games.

I need this. I need to be IN this.

This is fair. I mainly take issue with how theory culture overcomplicates and misses the point of media. Too often it focuses too hard on piecing together a puzzle, rather than the appreciating whole picture and what it's saying; the "no meaning, only lore" idea that killed Twin Peaks for 25 years.

YES. A good plot twist usually feels obvious in hindsight, without giving everything away right away. Make your audience feel smarter for having figured it out!

FNAF was the best when it was just a simple ghost story about a child murderer. No remnant, no complicated Afton family BS, no Bite of 87/83 debate. The focus was so much clearer early on, and then it just got so, SO needlessly complicated.

This is also why I hate mystery box stories. We don't get mad because expectations are "subverted". We get mad because mystery box stories are made to create speculation first, without an answer that was deliberately built up to. They're like train tracks that lead off a cliff, without a bridge.

Theories and "expectations" have had a nasty impact on culture. They just set people up to get mad when the story the artist tells doesn't line up with whatever people imagined based off "patterns" that don't really mean anything. Wait for the end, enjoy the ride, and let a story be what it is.

I have met so many wonderful fans in-person at conventions. All of this toxic discourse we see on the internet regarding fandom are only a small portion of the overall fanbase, most of whom have been lovely. Please strive to be kind. Thank you.

Honestly this is part of why I quit using Twitter and why I’ve been using BlueSky less. When there are so many people following our show, it means a exposing myself to a lot of messages, good and bad. It’s unhealthy and unfeasible to interact with so many people I don’t know and don’t know me.

People have harassed me for saying what Jax did in the last episode was shitty, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine they'd do the same to the CREATOR OF THE FUCKING SHOW for just saying the main characters ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERS???

These people really need to learn that saying “the story is mainly about these two characters” =/= “fuck the rest of the cast; they don’t matter.”

If I see anyone harassing Goose over the direction she is taking her show and her characters, it is a block on sight. Disagree if you must, but try to understand her first rather than saying something mean. She is trying harder than you know to make something wonderful, and I believe in her.

Not warning authorities about a violent person whose behaviour was likely being egged on by your goddamn chatbot, all to preserve its reputation - which is already dogshit and hemorrhaging money - is next level ghoulish. The people in charge of AI companies can’t be jailed fast enough.

I don't even know if I have the energy to be as angry as this makes me feel right now. Knowing this Canada needs to bring all out war on this AI shit. I want it fucking banned

Bringing back the “Console Wars” talk just so I can say that Microsoft has preemptively lost.

His blood pressure has got to be through the roof right now, so if anyone has a chance to ask him an aggressive question about the Epstein files, that really could make It happen today. Come on, reporters. We'll build statues in your honor.

Seeing some doomerism about Seedance 2.0 as far as culture is concerned - just everything getting replaced by brainrot AI slop. I dunno, there's a part of me that thinks people might get bored of it.

9S at the end of NieR:Automata. That boy ain’t right. m.youtube.com/watch?v=l9__...

I didn’t leave SUPER angry, but Rise of Skywalker. Notably, the moment when Maz Kanata gives Chewie a medal made me go “fuck off”. Like If it wasn’t already clear the movie was pandering to pedantic Internet dumbasses that cemented it.

The Tumbler Ridge newspaper puts it better than I could

I'd love to go to Barcelona! Or, anywhere, really! If there's any convention you'd like to see the Digital Circus cast appear at, message them! Conventions usually have emails for guests you'd like to request appearances from.

Excited to share that my next appearance will be at Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle from March 5th thru 8th! I’ll be joined by @lizzierfreeman.bsky.social and @kovox.net for this Pacific Northwest adventure - can’t wait to meet you there for autographs and a panel or two!!

Holy crap, is that @tomfawkes.com the funny Quagsire yell guy and awesome streamer???

KOG IS GREENLIT! Since this was shown in the trailer/ad for the artbook it felt safe to share. This was drawn in '24, early dev, the first time it really felt me, Zach, and JBO understood Frankie, Andi, and the show's tone. I still look at this drawing and think, oh yeah. That's #knightsofguinevere.

Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

Heading out to Houston soon for AnimeVerse Fest!! I’ll be signing autographs all weekend, Friday thru Sunday - stop by and say hi!

Probably Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl. This could have been so much more. But it’s not even better than the original games they’re based on.

Happy #IndieAnimationDay, folks! I'm Dave, co-creator of Far-Fetched, as well as a writer for Lackadaisy, ZAMination, DEEPSTATES, and the Hazbin Hotel pilot. I'm also a voice actor for Gooseworx, Gamecade, Vampair, Monkey Wrench, The AAVARION Show, Lackadaisy, and more!

bad people can and often do make good art. attacking the art as retroactively subpar to free yourself of moral dilemma and give yourself permission to not care means you're innately equating quality of art as representative of moral virtue (it's not) which is how you get purity culture

Cartoon Network did this like 20 years ago without AI by doing the simple task of Paying Jeff Bennett

A tough one to sit with--but we must--is that some people's ability to make good art in part derived from, or was protected by, the fact that they were enabling or doing terrible things. See also: We Need to Talk about Cosby doc. Even more troubling on this score: Read deep reporting on Alice Munro

"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

sorry everyone we at pencil company know you liked pencils, but we can't think of any new ideas for them, so we're discontinuing pencils tomorrow. also, you won't be able to access all your pencil drawings, please burn them, cool

Also

So many productions use this fucking software. You've got a month now to recreate your entire fucking pipeline in another program, and all your previous work is useless, bye Fucking insane. To do this so fast with no warning has to be criminal
