Then again, if everyone's Self can be shown as a neuron, it sure plays right into a whole "collective consciousness" New Age kinda thing, m m m a a a a n n nnn.....

Also damnit I may need to learn Blender. Or some kind of free 3D wireframe making thing.
about 2 days ago from web-
@scribus Blender is crazy easy to learn and there’s a lotta tutorials on YouTube, I’d give it a shot. The latest version has a real-time render engine too and most of its features are compatible with the other, slower, raytraced engine so if you have a halfway decent graphics card you can test materials and lighting situations and such fairly quickly.

@mrmattimation Keen. Right now, I kinda just want to make a logo from my old karate school into 3D. It's been done, but I'd rather not steal someone else's. And I do have other things, like an attempt to create a visual model of the Self as a 4-dimensional being with extensions into the Minds of others like that whole NG:E last two episodes acid trip. I think it'll just end up looking like lightning or a neuron, though...

That, or hire an animator for all of my abstract visualizations

Being killed in a video game right at the final blow of the last boss just before the final end trigger was processed.

@scribus I was playing Captain Toad Treasure Tracker (on WiiU) and just as I threw the last huge turnip at the crow and hit I slipped off the platform and died during the hit animation. It was quite frustrating and nerve-wracking as I had only one life left. During the whole gameplay I was not picking much money for lifes and was often time reckless and had not many lives.

Dude they had 20-packs of KN95s at Staples and I am almost angry at how exciting that was but I was much more sick of buying them three at a time for $10 a pack

This season of Close Enough felt more like Regular Show with its wackiness than the first season did. It got insanely crazy.
about 3 days ago from web-
@scribus Chaotic wacky. The whole situation goes out of control crazy. In Regular Show the main characters put up chairs in the park and then next the world is spiraling down a path to total world destruction wacky.

Aaannd with that useless fact, I believe I have pushed out my knowledge of CPR. Good thing I was never certified, then that might've been a loss!

Watching Nova, about Mars exploration. They keep talking about CHNOPS - Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur - the basic elements of life. But they pronounce it like they're looking for Schnapps as proof of life on Mars.

I think we need to have a public discussion about The Doctor’s proclivity for picking up 19 year old girls, you’re over 2000, you can’t keep doing that

@mrmattimation So what I hear is, Dame Judi Dench for next companion?
-
@scribus Or maybe someone who doesn’t look like they could be a student at Ridgemont High, yeah
-
@mrmattimation The Dame has my vote, if she wants the gig

I also take a lot of antihistamines and use a Neti pot

I’ve started wearing nasal strips while acting and god what a difference it’s made, I think I might have a slightly deviated septum or something because my nose used to get so congested so fast whenever I tried to speak at length and it made things uncomfortable

@mrmattimation I've worn them for exercise stuff, they're pretty handy, but harder to keep on while sweaty

Great, one of my favorite metal acts were dropped from their label and broke up . . . because one of the main members was arrested for the DC riot.
about 10 days ago from web-
@scribus Sort of sad that it happened but it's good that those riot idiots face consequences one way or another.
-
@adiwan Yeah, I'm more hoping the four members who left over it re-form or at least go on to more success than I am worrying for the one jackboot, lol. And I'm not super-surprised, because after 9/11 they took a hard Right, anyway. It's more just surreal to see happening. And I can't help thinking of Alice Cooper's take on rock in politics: "Why would you listen to US? We can't even hold down a real job!"

Well I just learned that I have a scar (somewhere on one of my knuckles) from the location of the first-ever episode of Bar Rescue. Which was closed after a stabbing murder. And then burned down. And is still a pile of fenced-off rubble 3 years later.

@adiwan It's even less than that! It may play out like something something seedy joint, blablabla bar brawl, but I was just too damn drunk to play pool and hit the damn table with my hand :-/ haha

@mrmattimation Yeah, that's haunted

Family Feud has some pretty low payouts if you don't win big, but then again they're also really forgiving about what they accept vs what's actually written on the board

Watched "Kill la Kill" and it was awful. Despite positive reviews my experience was not good. It contains huge and obvious plot holes. I can stretch my suspension of disbelief so far. It had some good characters in there but the plot weighted all down like an elephant on a cardboard box.
about 15 days ago from web-
@adiwan Yeah, that one's much more about antics and story than plot. And fanservice. Like, to such a core extent one wonders if it's even "service" anymore, lol.
-
@scribus The fanservice was the least of my problems with it. The plot is so convoluted it hurts my intelligence. Sentient alien thread accelerates the evolution of humans so they can wear clothes, Then the thread is used to make super-powered magic clothes. Then the bad guys use the thread in normal clothing to enslave/transform humanity while the good guys have also thread on their bodies. Then the master plan is to engulf the earth with the magic thread so to make it pop and burst more thread into the universe. And then the whole school thing and trying to conquer other schools is also the dumbest thing in the series. Where is the military? Where are state officials? It's certainly concerning when there are huge military-grade fights all over the country without any consequences. My suspension of disbelief can handle only a limited amount of BS before it turns against the piece of fiction.

And some of them, after struggling with them for 25 years, you just pretend it all makes sense in a philosophical quantum way like they totally swear it does. "Maybe in the original Japanese," you think," or maybe if I understood the cultural memes more deeply," you tell yourself. But then the director claims the whole thing can be understood through a Socratic lens and you just kind of shrug and give up all over again....

And sometimes it's out of left field, and others it's really well done and you can go back and see it coming now that you know.

I feel like a lot of anime does the "2/3 of the series are about A, and then suddenly the last handful of episodes will tell you that everything was a lie and X Y AND Z are really what's up, ha-HA!!"
