My All Dogs Go to Heaven animation cels got here today. First time I’ve ever bought one. Hoping to get some Bakshi originals next.

@zeldatra Nice! I keep threatening to spend my tax return on a cel from the Fritz scene in Wizards one year

It's shocking how hard it is to find a decent and respectable portrait image of a Lizardfolk person with a female appearance without huge mammaries (or chestbumps), and in a realistic art style, and sufficiently clothed. I don't mind a little wider breast but it gets out of hand in a lot of images.

@scribus I get what you mean. I just wanted a slightly female-coded (to my monkey brain) lizard-woman that doesn't scream "look at my bewbs" or appears to be sexualized. The attached image is the one I will use as it is currently the closest to what I'm imagining for a female lizardfolk druid potion brewer. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875898

@scribus Yeah. I took the image from https://www.artstation.com/artwork/361zm , removed the bottom half of the picture, AI upscaled it with http://waifu2x.udp.jp/ and enhanced the colors to match the other portraits of the other players that are used for the character tokens in Roll20.

Tiger Queen launching a cryptocurrency, inb4 the next Fallout launches with "bottlEcaps" crypto tie-in

@scribus Todd Howard announces at E3 that it directly ties into the flow of bottle caps in-game through an online server, which sounds cool in theory, but in practice everyone loses money because somebody figured out you could duplicate them by making your companion pick the world object up while you’re pressing the button at the same time.

I’ve always subscribed to John K’s character design philosophy that more expressive > more consistent and that keeping a character exactly on-model all the time isn’t very fun to look at, so imagine my surprise when I learn that cartoon watchers these days not only want characters to be drawn the exact same way in every frame because if it’s not on-model it’s “lazy”, but they ALSO want those exact same faces to be redrawn every time because if you reuse a drawing that’s also lazy. What, exactly, is the point in redrawing things if you’re going to want it looking exactly the same as it did in the last shot, scene, or episode? We should all just use Flash puppets at that point and go back to 2008-era Newgrounds.

@scribus They don’t. I saw somebody claiming the other day that pre-digital stock footage was ok because you can’t reuse cels so they had to redraw the sequence it every time which is obviously 100% untrue. It’s based entirely on whether you personally like the show in question or not because subjectivity is out of style, there has to be an objective reason now why you don’t like it (“it’s lazy” being the most common one).
-
@zeldatra OK now I can't grok how cels aren't supposed to be reusable, if anything it seems obviously and imminently reusable
-
@scribus You’d think so, right? Ultimately the people who make those arguments have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about. Or they heard that Disney used to wash cels in the 60s when they were on the verge of bankruptcy and assumed that EVERYONE did that.

Californians, if you all get yourself into the position where you have to say “Governor Jenner” for the next two years I will be very disappointed in all of you.

Finally got around to "Sonic the Hedgehog." I bet that isolation montage at the beginning hit a little different fourteen months ago.

@scribus The plot of a small-town cop trying to move to a city with more crime so that he gets to shoot people hits different today too!

Is this a bit? You don’t even have to get very far into it. There’s a 1970s Shake & Bake ad two minutes in.

@zeldatra I remember VHS tracking bars in the DVD of "Meet the Feebles," and my "Mothra" DVD only fills half the screen and looks like an 18 FPS framerate, but that is something else, lol

@scribus with such a massive library of stuff, a good 70% of which was super obscure and hard to come by to begin with, it's understandable that you have to use some weird sources since the original print is, in a lot of cases, not available, and they did do a really good job in a lot of areas - like managing to produce HD copies of things that were made decades ago - but it's insane to me that they didn't cut any of the commercials, especially since they DID cut contemporary movie trailers and multiple references to the NBC network, where it aired, from the same program. What was the editing standard?

I've cut into my fingernail of my index finger and have split the damn thing in half. No major injury. Only the fingernail itself is affected. The lack of structural integrity there feels soo odd and annoying. Even with nail polish holding it together (borrowed a transparent nail polish from my mother) it turns out to be an annoyance. At least I'm not afraid anymore of the split going any further.

@scribus It's half as bad as it sounds. It's only a 5mm (1/5th inch) cut. I tried a new transparent matte nail polish and it looks almost as good as new, except for a little blood under the nail and a little bit of white around the cut. I applied 4 thick coats and the finger nail is usable for light work like scratching the nose.

@scribus the relief that I felt when I got mine was so strong, I almost broke down right there in my store.

In German the word for queue is "Schlange". It's the same word for the word "snake". "In der Schlange stehen" means "standing in the queue". Translating it literally it means "standing in the snake". I'm happy that the snake population in Germany is low enough that this expression doesn't mean anything bad except for wasting time.

@zeldatra I guess Florida does something to a human on a deep psychological level that the extraordinary becomes the mundane.

Not to advocate violence, but wouldn't the world be a better place if more pranks videos ended with a college bro getting beaten to within an inch of his life?

@scribus Only tangentially related, but i was always a big fan of this video by Lyle Wrath & Chris O'Neill which basically subverts YouTube "savior" culture where wealthy YouTubers will make a huge deal about it when they donate to charity or whatever. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875874

@zeldatra I appreciate the satire, but it was a bit close to the bone for comfortable viewing, lol

Looking into getting a security job at the local old folks’ home. Twelve hour days but only 3/4 days a week, and I’d mostly just be filling out paperwork.
