Burbank Batman wishes us a “Happy New Year”

Time for you to learn that the credit for writing these lyrics was stolen. Arijan Clark, who now works as a professional translator with a master's in localization, shared these lyrics in our AIM chat 20 years ago. I was the first to sing them on LiveJournal. ❤️ youtu.be/p0IAEesmBhg?...

2025 has been a wild ride for all of us on the Kooky Trails. So wild that the upcoming Kooky Trails Prologue short needs a little more time for polishing before we can fully unveil it to the world in 2026. #KookyTrails #KookyTrailsPrologue #WondermationProductions #FantasyFunwheel #indieanimation

Every year I post this and I will continue to do so. Happy New Year’s Eve, folks.

It's been a year, yeah! I can't wait for whatever's coming next!

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

I can sing way better than Hiro Amanokawa, promise

GOALLLLL! Thanks so much! I was really hoping BlueSky would hit the mark before Twitter, too. You're amazing, cheers to meeting all your goals next year too!

I don't know if I can get 14 more people to follow me here in two days, but I'd be foolish to stop now, right? I like voice acting, music, piano stuff, books, and giving my customizable video game characters terrible names, among other things

This one seems sentient 😐

Perfection.

More games need nameable protagonists. Nameable villains too. Let us name everything, please!

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

Okay, so I want to show a lot of you newcomers to BlueSky something really important. Many people will refuse to interact with people who don't do this simple bit of accessibility. ADD ALT TEXT TO YOUR IMAGES. When you add an image, the upper left has an "ALT+" button! Click it and type!

Unions (and the people who fought on behalf of them) are the reason you enjoy the vast majority of the enshrined rights that prevent your working environment from being even WORSE.

Wrote a blog post about the work I do in dubbing and the role of a dubbing producer. open.substack.com/pub/reubenla...

I'm at 1,938 followers now, and there's four days left in the year. 2k by 2026's the goal, I could sure use a hand if I'm going to get there!

Hi! If you're new to Bluesky and enjoy steampunk, visual novels, or are otherwise in the mood for what's basically a 90min theatre piece in videogame form… Some absurdly skilled humans were kind enough to hop aboard this project with me earlier in the year. It's got a very special spot in my heart.

One of my siblings, who might be IRL Idia and/or IRL Gammamon, has a cat that loves Bob Ross, and I think the internet needs to see this cat

For all the new artists joining Bluesky: 🎨 You don't have to censor words such as commission, Patreon or Ko-Fi. 🎨 You can share links and your post will not be de-boosted. 🎨 You can take time away from Bluesky and come back whenever you feel like, there's no algorithm to punish you!

Christmas is going well, but I also have a relative who looked at this thing with complete confidence and declared, "THAT'S A FROG!" so I have admittedly spent most of the night buffering from having had that experience

Have a joyous Toyotathon, and remember, it isn't a Toyotasprint!

It's Christmas Eve, have some offensively huge blueberries

IMPORTANT A new scam is going around where you'll be walking down the street and there will be a big red X painted on the sidewalk. DO NOT STAND ON THE X!!! If you do, a grand piano will fall on your head!!! This happened to a friend of mine and his teeth were piano keys for weeks! BE SAFE!!!

Who's that beautiful, bodacious boy? It's Nova! ✨ I really enjoyed playing with this sort of mysterious, magical character! (Fun fact! His name is short for "supernova," in keeping with his star motif.) You can meet Nova in Bun's Dream, which you can play here! taylorsconfused.itch.io/buns-dream

I'm really close to 2000 followers here, and I'd love to get to 2k by 2026! Can you help me out?

I'm not sure what you mean by "separately" making them eligible, but you have the gist of it. When a non-union performer works their first union project, they become eligible to join the union in the future if they so choose. And now, brace yourself for a WALLLL of text (I'm so sorry.)

Be extra kind to retail workers today. Contrary to popular opinion, Black Friday is not the busiest sales day of the year - the last Saturday before Christmas is.

Go get your hands on a copy of Bun's Dream, I play Nova (pictured!) Congrats on the release and thanks for having me, Taylor!

The cookies from the #Larfleeze Christmas Special are a time-honored holiday tradition around these parts #GreenLantern

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

I would rather buy a book with a cover drawn by an author who has never tried to draw before in their life than a book with a cover generated by AI. If this is judging a book by its cover, then so be it

If you're new to following me, I like worker's rights a lot. This morning, SAG-AFTRA showed up for Starbucks workers, and the folks running even it let me fulfill an extremely specific bucket list item of mine (playing a snare drum)! 10/10, would do both again #NoContractNoCoffee #SAGAFTRAstrong

imagine if people went to retailers and just took stuff and called it "generative shopping" and then, when the retailers said that's illegal, people said "regular shopping is too expensive so we have disrupted it" and then the retailers were like "OH! Carry on, innovators!"

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

Lets try this agin with our release date video: BIG HOPS is releasing January 12th, 2026 on PC, Switch, and PS5. It's about 15 hours long, will cost $20 USD, and yes it runs GREAT on the Switch 2! Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/1221480/...

If you were one of the many, many people wondering what Ortho sounds like, you get to hear it at the tail end of Episode 7. Everyone who was in the main episode REALLY gave it their all, they put so much into this! #TWST #TwistedWonderland #OrthoShroud

You know, someday I too hope to lecture millions of people on how to correctly pronounce my last name on a late night talk show. (It's "Vints-ih-GEHR-uh." "Vints" rhymes with "mints," "Gehr" rhymes with "chair," no r's are ever rolled, and don't let the two consecutive vowels intimidate you)

If I had a nickel for every time someone cast me as a responsible brother who really, REALLY cares about his sibling's well-being, I'd have four nickels, which isn't a lot of money, but it IS still one nickel shy of being able to buy a gumball out of a gumball machine

Gotta be my worst #Whamageddon record ever, I'm already out, RIP #whamageddon2025

As a professional singer, my favorite part of Digimon Ghost Game was finding out in Episode 6 that Hiro's voice could function as a WMD in the wrong hands. I never thought I'd get a chance to get paid to make all my choir directors' ears collectively bleed! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ6g...

I didn't think I'd ever be able to post this, but I'm Hiro in the English dub of Digimon Ghost Game! Every time the weather got weird, I'd wonder when my Digivice would fall from the sky and whack me on the head. Guess it's now, huh? Thanks, Laura, Rup, & TransPerfect, for taking a chance on me!

Amazon has had many opportunities to create dubbing projects filled with authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and believability. Instead they have chosen to create AI slop dubs of Banana Fish, Vinland Saga, and No Game No life. Many are calling these dubs "insulting" and "disrespectful".

I'm hesitant to call the AI Banana Fish hilarious at all. "Hilarious" would be if more of us bought the rights to mid IPs and had human actors improv their way through them, like a modern-day Ghost Stories. This is taking what I keep hearing is a great but niche IP, and sucking out its humanity

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

This Thanksgiving, instead of being normal, I made the Forest Strider Drumsticks from the World of Warcraft cookbook
