You know the great thing about the internet used to be that I could do whatever I want without regulation from any government and now the FTC is getting all up in my grill telling me I have to help protect children from targeted ads.... by declaring whether or not my content is aimed at kids at risk of being fined if they determine I’ve been untruthful. Sigh.

The plan is to eventually have every possible recurring setpiece modeled in a 3D space using shaders that flatten it out as much as possible and textures that make it look like an oil painting so that I never ever ever ever have to draw another background for the rest of my life.

Playing with some settings in Blender, it needs some work but I’ve gotten the program to intentionally “mess up” some of the outlines on these renders to make it look more like it was hand drawn, still dunno how this looks in motion yet though. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875315

My name was mentioned in a Newgrounds podcast today, no idea why or in what context, but I guess I’ll have to go check it out now?

@thelastgherkin so wait, is Pinkie Pie Jerry, or is she Kramer? I feel like she'd be Kramer.

Well, the post office lost my package. And they made sure to remind me it wasn't insured. Because I should have to pay extra for you to be basically accountable for your core job? Contacted the merchant for replacement.

@scribus I think that the standards for USPS employees are actually lower than just having a smuggler send you whatever you want on a Chinese freighter

@mrmattimation Smuggler ? Wait, what. That took a turn.
"Yeah, ehmm, Mr Ranger Solo sir, Could you please get this package of legal computer components to my friend in California ? Why no, I do not object to haveing it being transported in between the cocaine and MDMA."
P.S. I do not know any Chinese Smuggler names, I do know that the Solo Star Wars Movie was renamed to Ranger Solo in China.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@mrmattimation He would not be the first important leader in the history of the world to at least to try and undo something that he did before. Heck, not even the first woman if you count Neferusobek. But outside of the shadenfreude factor. Why is that funny to you ?

apparently in Pokémon 2 you can finally commit treason against the government which is good because before we'd never even seen the government

@mrmattimation Normally I would say something like 'Super' if I was handling a lot of cash. But the combination of Super and PAC probably is not going to end in a smile for most people. Unless if it was a pun, those are are cruel in their own right.

I like reading all of these weird hot takes about how Virginia, former capital of the confederacy and one of the last states to abolish Jim Crow laws (we still had some in the 90s(!!!!!!!)) is now a communist state

@mrmattimation ... And... Do you want Virginia to be communist ? raises eyebrow

@scribus Giuliani is, like, a Bush-era holdover too, so he’s twice as unlikable. From New York’s crappy mayor to the second-crappiest President’s crappy lawyer.

Last night’s election in Virginia has ensured that, if Trump gets re-elected next year, I’ll be waaaaaaaay too high to care.

Trump has a clean record of never having campaigned for anyone who lost.... which I assume is why he hasn’t done a single campaign rally in Virginia despite (or perhaps because of) Republicans facing losing their last footholds in the state.
Tuesday, 05-Nov-19 17:09:23 UTC from web-
@drinkingpony There’s 100% a path to re-election that doesn’t involve Virginia, which is why I’m confused why he’s targeting this state. He’s planning to offset potential losses in PA, WI, and especially MI by flipping Colorado, Nevada, New Hampshire, Virginia, and New Mexico. Problem is Clinton won three of those states by 5% or more and they only got more Democratic in elections after that. Realistically I could see him winning New Hampshire and maybe Nevada, which is TECHNICALLY enough assuming he loses the Great Lakes and wins Maine’s second congressional district, but it’s not at all a comfortable margin, and Democrats winning even one more electoral vote (ie by winning Nebraska’s 2nd congressional district) would screw him. His best path to victory is maintaining states he already won, not winning new ones, and going after the swing states that went for Clinton is a very weird move.
-
@mrmattimation Ohkay, I think I found the sore spot right then and there.
> "best path to victory is maintaining states already won, not winning new ones,"
That is way too much true to the whole idea of political ideologies eating themselves once they get more and more totalitarian. That is "Back your base !" "Back Your Base !" "BACK YOUR OWN FRIGGIN BASE !" untill you have alienated everyone that was not already part of the in-group by the first time those words were chanted.
Back to modern day America. No group is going to win without the support of the people who feel no strong affiliation and rather let the policies ( or gut ) speak to them. Hell, the Rust Belt voted surprisingly Trump after 2 election cycles of "Hope".
Not to say I would not be surprised that in the campaign office they jokingly talk about 'It is not about winning, it is about sending a message' while giving it their best Michael Caine impression.
But it honestly sometimes is, just about sending a message.Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@drinkingpony It’s all in state leans really. If Trump doesn’t win Wisconsin, he can’t win Michigan, and if he can’t win Michigan, he can’t win Virginia, if he doesn’t win Virginia, he can’t win Colorado, etc, etc. Once you lose one state it becomes a lot harder to win states that lean further from you, not impossible, but harder.

ok cartoon's 100% done (or the animation bit anyway)

This Swole Foods short should be out on Wednesday (which means the newspaper gag gets to be VERY topical, what with elections happening in Virginia the day before) and as it’s all coming together I’m slowly starting to regain my confidence in the stuff I make. Hopefully that means it’s back to animating every day for me.

If Jamie Lee Curtis was so scared of Michael Meyers coming back to get her why’d she stay in Haddonfield and not move to, like, Guam or something? Seems to me like she was kinda asking for it in the 2018 movie

In the Halloween universe Kanye West probably gave a speech about how Obama didn’t do anything for Chicago cuz Michael Meyers is still goin around cuttin’ fools up. Think about it.
