the newest version of flash has some really useful features but it's so buggy and FrankerZty and resource hoggy that it's almost not worth it. flash 2017, the one i actually use regularly, lacks those features but it's probably crashed on me once in the last two years.

I have four stand-alone Swole Foods episodes I want to make before I get myself too invested in another story-driven series to see if I can make the show work as it’s currently conceptualized or if I’ll have to go back and re-work it some more. “The First Day”, in which we’re introduced to our three leads; “All Dogs Go to Heaven”, which is an allegorical account of my own relationship with religion; “Brain Dead”, about a zombie apocalypse; and “Mike Hawk Down”, in which we’re introduced to a fourth major character, Republican Congressman Mike Hawk, a tragically repressed gay man who finds himself questioning his own self worth and his place in society after his re-election campaign ends in failure. Hopefully people don’t think I’m tricking them once I introduce the serialization angle after those initial four episodes.

@mrmattimation I doubt people would feel too tricked. Even a lot of serialized out-the-gate programs start off feeling more episodic as we meet characters and develop the world.

Hey if you ever hear anyone complain about how self-checkout machines at grocery stores are “killing jobs”, just know that they’re talking completely from their asses and have no idea what they’re saying. Similarly, if you grab a bunch of items from the shelf and bring them to my desk to inform me what you would have bought from me if I wasn’t “killing jobs” (me, personally?), just know that your political statement is completely batbatcave and all you’ve done is make my life harder by forcing me to reshop all of your grape.

Trump is looking so gray under his orange, it's almost sad to watch this ancient doddard as he drives this country into the Earth's warm crust.

@scribus I remember being shocked having seen a picture of him after he’d been in office a few months. He looked like he wanted to die. He’s a lot better at hiding it now but it’s super clear he’s not much longer for this earth. I genuinely believe if he’s re-elected we’ll be having a state funeral for him before his second term is up.

Papa Spraytan literally blames Obama for the coronavirus. It's not like he likes the former president or anything, baka...

@scribus Obama didn’t blame Bush for this long and in that case Bush really did cause a lot of his problems.

@mrmattimation I hear the whole thing has been a stunning win for mediocrity overall

@scribus and, if you listen to people on Twitter, the end of the world. IMO Biden over performed well enough in Bernie-friendly states that “electability” is waaaay less of a concern to me now.

@mrmattimation I believe I may be done with Twitter for life at this point

the ultimate goal is to speed up my turnaround on projects of all scopes and i think I'm pretty close to achieving that.

i think i'm ready to stop being a depressing lump, so i've got a new cartoon coming out this week. it's around ten minutes and it's a waaaay different style than anything i've ever done, but i made it really, really, really quick. like... i wrote it yesterday, animated a bunch of it today, and will probably have it finished by Friday. That quick. It uses limited animation, squigglevision techniques, and reused assets from an abandoned project for the background, but the thing that REALLY sped it up is that Adobe Animate has a new auto-lipsyncing tool which is actually not that great as is BUT it provides you with a really good baseline that you can tweak around and it divides the time needed for animating mouth movement into, like, tenths.

Would I personally have said it? No, not in public, of course not, but this doesn’t take away from the fact that we have passed overwhelmingly powerful tax reforms, confirmed record numbers of federal judges, and brought the DOW up to heights previously unknown. Chuck, I may disagree with the President on whether or not we should be allowed to have slaves, but putting these disagreements aside we can get a great deal done for the American public, more than the previous twenty administrations combined.

Well I don’t know about the President saying the n word on live tv Chuck, but here’s the point: the do-nothing Democrats hate this man so much, they’re not even taking the context in which he said it into account

I'm sad that I didn't get a chance to even consider Buttigieg, but I guess we still haven't had a woman president so having a gay one is asking *way* too much...

@thismightbeauser I was never big on Buttigieg. Guy felt so disingenuous to me. Still, I am disheartened that the youngest man in the field now is 77 years old.

@mrmattimation I was never big on Buttigieg because I never knew anything about him and don't have any reason to find out now.

@scribus I listen to him speak these days and wonder just what the hell all those people are hearing, because it's not what I'm hearing. Even if you some staunch, right-wing, anti-abortion anti-immigrant blowhard, you GOTTA be listening to him talk and wonder "man, something's not right with this guy's brain". His politics are irrelevant at that point, he talks like my grandmother with Alzheimer's
-
@mrmattimation He looked next to death when he was rambling about how "one day, like a miracle, coronavirus will just go away." Pretty sure Mike Pence is eating his life force in an attempt to become a real boy.

@scribus The trick about it is noticing everyone is lying out of their asses, and just picking the lies you like most out of what's on sale.

On the bright side, it’s probably a great time to get into the market.

Sure is cool watching a Fox News segment where they tell us that, actually, the market is up.... compared to 1929.

Well, actually, being perfectly honest I don’t really have time for games anymore. 48 hour job + 30 minute animated pilot in the works = zero me time

@ceruleanspark i haven't played in a good while but it was less that i wasn't enjoying it, moreso that other games caught my interest. I've had a lot of fun with

@mrmattimation I saw it on sale for £10 so I figured at that price, if I at least got some funny stories out of how busted it was, I’d have broken even, but now I’m level 30 and drugging new players with unlabelled Nukashine

@ceruleanspark It has been so long that I don't remember what I told you regarding the game. Glad you're enjoying it, though.
AFAIK they've put some work in fixing the most glaring issues over the years, despite the crazy antics like the duping glitches and players chasing vips off the game.

@mrmattimation So, there's this coffee shop in Hollywood that serves a "Turbo-Coke," a double espresso and a half-litre of Mexican Coca-Cola, that is somewhat less expensive than a hotel

@scribus I don’t know why the idea of someone ordering a Turbo Coke and being asked “is Pepsi OK?” Is so funny to me but it just is

2020’s probably gonna be a Trump vs Sanders race, which means the eventual winner will 100% die in office. Guess we’re really feeling the burn, eh America? http://rainbowdash.net/url/875450
