I hate to “both sides” this apple but whataboutism is rampant on both sides and it seems like you can’t make fun of Joe Biden without somebody telling you the last guy was worse. Yes, we’re aware.

@zeldatra Just because being kicked in the shins AND fed crap is worse than either/or, doesn't mean we need to accept any of it, man

@scribus yeah but she saved the universe despite the kyubey's intention

@princelypublictimeline And yet, I feel like there has to be a solid Taoist reading to this show... lol

Go ahead. Call the corporate office and tell them I refused to serve you for not wearing a mask. I’ll be waiting.

I bought a damn new car. It hurts my wallet but at least it's a more sane purchase than I did for many other things. About 13000€ for a Fiat Tipo Station Wagon.

@scribus it has no wood paneling but there is always the possibility to use vinyl stickers with woof patterns.

@scribus if anything I am the forgotten one lol

@princelypublictimeline Don't feel too bad, I'm always forgetting crap. Yesterday, I found out that I forgot I had Yelp installed!

@scribus no one remembers yelp lol

I’d like to think that I’m doing them for him, at least, and not just to feed my ego, which is probably the reality.

With the caveat of course that I bought it for art and writing, if you do other things then the laptop is probably better.

my new iPad arrived today and the first thing i drew to test out the pencil was a real blasty from the pasty http://rainbowdash.net/url/875850
Friday, 12-Mar-21 21:05:52 UTC from web-
@scribus honestly kinda surprised how natural it all feels, I don’t like the program I drew that image in but that’s ok because the full desktop version of my usual art program, Clip Studio, apparently works with the newer iPads so I went ahead and installed that, it’s pretty much perfect and I think it’ll make me a whole lot more productive. IMO for what I paid it’s actually a better purchase than an equivalently priced MacBook.

i've read one too many youtube comments on my own videos

@mrmattimation On the other hand, the internet comment section culture has made it much easier to accept mortality. Won't miss that papaya when I die!

Need help on this script: BESIDES stuff from Marvel properties, what fictional landmarks would one find in New York City that a tourist would want to visit?

@mrmattimation Fry's Dog's Grave!

@scribus Pannucci’s Pizza’s in now. Seymour’s been encased in dolomite for about a decade now.

@mrmattimation I try not to dwell on that fact ;_;

Just called out of work for the first time in like three years. Fever spiked to 102.5. Gonna take it easy today.
Saturday, 06-Mar-21 13:51:49 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation You went the whole-ass pandemic without dipping out? Man, take an extra one after the fever breaks, you deserve it.
-
@scribus It’s difficult for me to justify calling out for anything less than an emergency because I’m the store’s closer and it’s hard to find other people willing to do that on such short notice for some reason.
-
@mrmattimation I get that. I called out much less at the school cafeteria.

Hey uh guess who just got a surprise Covid vaccine

@scribus i literally was just walking by the pharmacy in my store and the pharmacist was like "hey Matt... we got one more dose left and i don't have any more appointments... want it?" was pretty much in the exact right place at the exact right time

@mrmattimation Damn, sweet luck

@mrmattimation You won the lottery!

@butts First, you must gather the Three Treasures of The Void. Also, I think for software instability reasons, it's not really possible. Failing that, the typical approach seems to be just leaving, only to return once a blue moon to comment on how we're still open.

Also damnit I may need to learn Blender. Or some kind of free 3D wireframe making thing.
Wednesday, 03-Mar-21 00:43:41 UTC 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...

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.
-
This season of Close Enough felt more like Regular Show with its wackiness than the first season did. It got insanely crazy.
Monday, 01-Mar-21 14:53:14 UTC 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.

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’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
Tuesday, 23-Feb-21 08:54:51 UTC from web-
@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.
Monday, 22-Feb-21 16:34:30 UTC 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.
Sunday, 21-Feb-21 02:49:19 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Oof.
-
@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
-
-
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.
Wednesday, 17-Feb-21 17:38:15 UTC 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.

Crushed two linear bearings until the balls popped out. I should have used less force and made the hole a teeny tiny bit bigger.
Saturday, 13-Feb-21 18:10:10 UTC from web-
@ndogmario I just printed a holder for a Dremel rotary tool for my CNC machine. It needs some linear bearings (with steel balls to glide on) and there are holes that fit them. Due to inaccuracies the hole is too small for a pressure fit. I used a drill to carve it a little bit bigger, however I missed some spots. While forcing the bearings with a vise the bearing was compressed within the hole. The tolerances within the bearing are soo tight that this little bit of difference in the radius made a ball pop out.

Can somebody please point out to the Republicans saying Trump’s actions implicitly disqualify him with voters from winning another election that they said the exact same thing about his “grab her by the Potato Knishesy” comments in 2016

I'm afraid that "Coming 2 America" will suck. The first film is my all-time classic feel good movie. The trailers don't bode well.

@adiwan But Eddie Murphy is playing four characters, that never means schlock and broad slapstick!!

The only thing stopping me from doing a George Lucas re-release to keep that comic up to date is that I don’t know how to draw Joe Biden, I’ve tried so hard and I just can’t do it

@mrmattimation Try drawing Jim Carrey, but older?

@scribus I was too small to remember but my parents said that it was sold soon very soon as it was mostly incompatible with the C64 software library.

Borderlands 2 is fun right up until I either run up against the usual "What am I stuck on, why am I not running, why can't I even jump, if I'm not supposed to be here how did I even get in and why can't I get out again" antics of every FPS ever... That, or the keyboard-as-controller issues of "I wanted my knife, not to throw a grenade at my own feet..." !vgp
Monday, 08-Feb-21 06:59:37 UTC from web-
@scribus True story: I grew up pretty much entirely on PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360, so when I finally got a PC that could properly handle video games I was immediately put off by the keyboard controls and plugged in an Xbox One controller instead. To this day it's really hard for me to play shooters the "real" way.
-
@mrmattimation I had had an NES, GameBoy, SNES, Atari XE, and Sega Genesis before we got our first "real" family computer, a 486 running Windows 3.11. My parents declared that the computer was therefore not for games, unless they were educational. I believe I would go on to N64, 3DS, and Xbox 360 before trying WASD-anything.
