Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

finally some normal fucking people on reddit

I've spent a lot of time listening to video game osts, even using video game osts for videos, and I don't think I'll ever find anything that beats this: It is so. unbelivably. gas. Like, so gas.

I feel real bad for everyone who's been struggling to care for a delusional family member, watching whatever progress they've made get annihilated by ChatGPT in an afternoon.

Sponsorship emails be like:

vintage glass bunny 🃏

Cabbage

It’s ok to put the phone down.

I think I just had the best online interaction I've ever had in my life with a mean commenter:

I think I find myself getting a lil bit frustrated at the difference between what its like to make a video essay about a game vs talking about anything related to anime/manga. Like I'm just so sick of talking about manga, and half the comments are like: "__ is peak" "__ is S tier" "__ is mid"

when you reply back to a mean comment and they immediately fold

Try to guess what this next video's gonna be about...

After like a whole day of having to rebuild my PC...

Been keeping track of some of my favorite lil' quotes from books that I've been reading this year:

anyway here's the email I sent to jim bankoff last week. i'm still heartbroken. I have been insanely, destructively angry for weeks, and I think I will be for a long time.

There was a moment when movies (rather than novels) took over as the primary form of fiction in our culture. At some point we’ll all need to admit that YouTube videos have taken the non-fiction mantle.

Julia will never say this so I’ll say it for her: when I worked for Polygon, she was responsible for not just the biggest Polygon article, but the NUMBER 1 MOST CLICKED ARTICLE ON ALL OF VOX MEDIA. She was single-handedly paying all of our salaries. Hire Julia.

I just finished watching The Rehearsal. And I feel like my mind's just been origami'd around for 6 episodes. What in the fuck.

God I fucking love using Blender

For anyone aware of the tragedy at Vancouver Lapu Lapu festival, here's a thread of GoFundMe's available to help support the many victims. (copy pasted from my friend 'J' in the Vancouver Filipino community) 🧵

do you think this is better or worse for your brain than huffing paint

TIL we have a middle ear.

I genuinely don't understand how Adobe has been able to make working within premiere feel so easy-going, and then become so fucking incompetent at exporting. It's like they purposely want you to be blue-balled at the end of every project you've ever worked on.

MelodySheep makes some pretty great visuals in their videos, but I swear to god everything they have ever claimed about science or the future seems to just come from the source of: "I made it the fuck up".

Guys you have to understand that if the weird videos perform well, then that's giving me permission to go even weirder...

Honestly the wildest thing about r/NewTubers, the subreddit for aspiring YouTubers, is how many posts are like "okay, I've built my channel, registered for AdSense, downloaded CapCut, built a library of memes, and now I just need to decide what to make videos about."

I saw a thread asking how to turn on their new FX3

The part that's frustrating is where I can see the damage that gurus have done (which is kinda the entire sub, I guess, TBH) "I got 500 impressions but a 1% CTR, what am I doing wrong?" You're talking about 5 views. Your audience would fit in a Kia Sorento, why are you looking at those stats?

Some of my favorite quotes from playing Disco Elysium so far:

I think in 2025 I'm gonna be trying my best to go from feeling the need to constantly make 10 drafts of a scripts to at most 3.

I have absolutely no idea why russian classical music seems to fit so well with this video.

This is the greatest book I have ever read in my life This is the greatest book I have ever read in my life This is the greatest book I have ever read in my life This is the greatest book I have ever read in my life This is the greatest book I have ever read in my life This is the greatest book I ha

Just finished reading the afterword by Gege Akutami, and man... it is rough to see a person talk like that. I love what this guy made. And I hope he takes the long break he deserves to realize what a beautiful thing he put out there in the world.

Gonna make a thread of my favorite video essays from this last year:

What an amazing video. If you guys haven't checked out Jam2Go yet, please do. He's one of the few psychotic/talented video essaysists that make their own music for their stuff, it's so impressive. youtu.be/GBTc7eZ-Pyc?...

For anyone that's planning on setting some New Year's resolutions in these coming days: Please know that it's totally a good thing to be really motivated, but it's also just as important to not be so hard on yourself.

Fuck. youtu.be/zLQ6Qv393mw?...
