@adiwan I think my friends' 8-year-old might still? It may be on his Plex, maybe I could finally finish FiM...

Watching "Way of the House Husband". Its animation is as minimal as it gets. It's more motion comic than usual animation. I guess they are fixed on recreating the manga panels. There are a ton of static images with pans and simple mouth animations. Sometimes there is a ton of shaking implying intense action but it looks odd when everything shakes but nothing moves. It's fine I guess but I had different expectations. Also an episode is divided into several smaller episodes that also recreate each manga chapter as closely as it can get. The pacing feels a tad off as the story starts and stops every 3 minutes.

@scribus I've never seen any movie he created (directed or produced). The closest would have been the Toxic Avenger cartoon. Maybe I've seen the first Toxic Avenger but I have seen so many clips of the movie my memory isn't sure about watching it at all. All assimilated by popculture osmosis.
-
@adiwan But Troma have managed to make feature films for a half-million dollar budget pretty reliably all the while, not inflation adjusted - $500,000 in 80s money for 80s movies, and still $500k in 2010s money for 2010s movies. And that has included some endearing jank, like a car flip/explosion they've used constantly since 1991 or so.

As I am catching up with Bob's Burgers I noticed that I somehow skipped Season 5 when it aired.

Planning to leave my job on May 1st. No idea what comes after that but I can’t work in this environment anymore. Probably gonna focus on YouTube for a bit while door dashing on the side so that I still have some money coming in

@adiwan And a 7 year old can only date a 10 year old, but the 10 year old could only date 12+

I mean like look if you’re 19 and she’s 17 then neither of you really has your mango together, so who cares, right? But RageNineteen was 28 years old and dating a 16 year old who he’d met when she was 15 while dating her friend who was also 15, and that’s just supposedly normal in the YouTube world?? The hell’s going on????

@zeldatra I mean if you're one of those older seniors in high school, maybe, but that's only for a slim window of time and anyway I was 17 at graduation

@scribus talking about specifically YouTube stuff. One of the new Eddsworld showrunners just got outed as a serial groomer/abuser and it’s frustrating the hell out of me that there seems to be a new one of these every week.

@scribus To answer the question I just got via email, the server is a basic digitalocean droplet. The $20 one. Depending on how much traffic you're expecting, you could easily run a couple of instances on there.

@ceruleanspark Groovy, thanks. I have a couple $5 ones for some blogs I wanna keep IP isolated, and was eyeballing a $10 for startup. Good to know.

Now is the time to catch up with Bob's Burgers. I haven't seen about half of the episodes that are currently available.

Binged through the whole series of "My Name Is Earl". I can somewhat understand why they pulled the cord and cancelled the series at the end of season 4. While fun it was kind of repetitive or insane and thus alienating any new watchers. Also it got increasingly serialized despite of its episodic nature at the beginning.
about 6 days ago from web-
@adiwan Officially, the cancelation happened because of financial issues over at NBC from the then-recent recession. They had been given the go-ahead to start writing for a fifth season, which is why the fourth one ends on a cliffhanger.
-
@zeldatra Sure. I have also read that. But when I look at the viewership numbers they were decreasing rapidly towards the end. I don't know what happened in April of 2009 but they might have spooked some people in the upper management in addition to the financial crisis. They could have at least resolve the cliffhanger and do a somewhat proper ending to the series.
-
@adiwan TV Tropes mentions an official "What if" ending, per the creator. I like knowing that, even if they didn't get to film it.

Anyway, I was digging through my older cartoons to pull out assets for a newer one, and oh man, teenage Matt organized projects like a troglodyte. Until 2016, every single one of my flash files existed in a single-level folder labeled “Flash”. Zero organization. There was a separate folder called “Audio” which itself was properly organized for some reason.

@zeldatra I'm trying to get the best drafts of my various writing projects together to move forward. I am not convinced that present-Me has managed "file organization" yet.

@scribus I’m just fed up with the new management. These guys are total pricks. One’s a delegatory blowhard who wants me to do most of his job, and the other one is a crazy apple who acts like a crackhead.

@zeldatra Wish I had better advice than "Try not to get caught screaming in the parking lot about how you'd applaud the news that the manager killed themself." Bad management is the worst, man.

really wish people would stop treating Hispanic people like we’re a monolith. Even people who think they mean well have a tendency to just group us all together like we’re all just from the same place and that itself is pretty racist.

Need to change the hoses of my bicycle tires. I had to pump them up twice in a row within 15 minutes. Either it is the air valve or the hose itself.

I just bought an AC for my apartment. Sadly it's only a single-hose type of AC. Here there are none for hanging into the window or ACs with two hoses. Now I'm planning to create some plate to mount into my window with the hose to exhaust the warm air.

@adiwan Lock Picking Lawyer had a groaningly base one, but his was at least brief and not overly tortured
-
@scribus LPL was one of the better ones. Yeah... the puns were groanworthy, but at least he has shown a nice set of locks, and thus in line with his regular content. The briefness is also welcome, although it's somewhat longer than the usual stuff.

@adiwan Yup. It was stupid but still enlightening, and over by the time I was done laughing at the joke. Nailed it, lol

I started binge-watching "My Name is Earl". Wholesome dumb stuff.

@scribus I was also watching random episodes when it was running on TV but it didn't grab my attention enough to keep watching. Maybe it was a bad time slot or the German dub.

@adiwan My mom actually watched it regularly, so it would often be on when I was visiting and there was already a . . . "social" or "collective" disposition to it, I guess?

@scribus I’m always afraid I’ve done something to anger him, because on top of the fact that he’s like always glaring at me, one of the effects of his, uh, condition is that his fuse is shorter than the average bear’s. I always feel like he’s one misstep away from going apebanana on somebody

So you know how they've got those nigh-pornographic art models with the poseable skeletons and all that jazz? Do they make them in non-human? Looking for a mouse or a rat... uh, also non-lewd. I don't need a sexy mouse. Not yet....
about 16 days ago from web-
@adiwan I dunno, lol. This is really probably just Perfectionism stepping on Productivity's toes. Mostly I just was looking for a reliable way to check if something I would write would be physically plausible. But I've already taken pages of notes on "The Secret of NIMH" and other cartoons and actual live animal footage, so I probably don't *need* anything at all.
-
@thelastgherkin Dude I've seen that before! And it is a good idea... um, in the context of trying to make an anatomical/biomechanical model. heh
-
@scribus I think it's cheaper to buy a real mouse and not bother trying to replicate the skeleton in order to see if a pose is even possible. Yeah... It'd bite back but still cheaper time-wise and financially. I don't think pet shops allow anybody willy-nilly to grab a mouse and contort it.

Buying a new car, even a cheaper new car, is still a huge thing to put money into. That huge purchase makes all the little things look insignificant. "4€ for a bread, it's nothing, doesn't cost as much a car."
about 18 days ago from web-
@scribus OK. That's an inflation problem. A new car costs now less than it did back then. A modern car has in addition a computer, entertainment system, navigation, explosives (air bags), automatic driving assistants (break, lane control, distance, parking). Although a house usually keeps its value or increases it over time.
-
@adiwan Yeah, it's a thing. The other week for me it was, $2100 for a new bed? Why not, that's only 1/26th what we paid for our Tesla. No but seriously, I still feel tremendously guilty and uncomfortable when I go to a restaurant.
-
@oracle Crom, I paid a grand for my bed and thought that was stiff, then again it is only for one...

I wouldn't be surprised if everything shown in the Rick & Morty trailer won't be in the new season. I think it's in the realm of possibility that this could be an elaborate act of trolling the audience by Harmon and Roiland.

AAaand I have a new car. I was driving it though a mountainous region and was immediately stumped. I was used to a Diesel with twice the horse power and the new car is a normal petrol (benzyl) car with a 6 gear transmission instead of the 5 I'm used to. Driving in the mountains was a minor ordeal with my lack of knowledge of the machine. It took a good amount of time to accelerate from the 5th gear up a hill.
