I tasted mead recently but it tasted more like acetone and couldn't stomach more than a few drops. But it's a "me"-problem. It was good and not spoiled. I just have a different taste. Even normal wine tastes like some kind of acetone to me. Grape juice itself is alright for me. I guess the fermentation products are causing the putrid smells and tastes that my nose and tongue cannot deal with. Also beer smells like wet and half-eaten bread with vinegar. Pure vodka also is very nasty as it creates a very strong burning sensation in the esophagus.
Never gonna be drunk because of that alone.Sunday, 09-Jul-23 09:33:25 UTC from web-
@adiwan Gene Simmons has famously said that the very smell of alcohol has always turned his stomach, some people taste cilantro as soap... Literally different tastes for different people

I think a big part of it is in bad practices in Corel and/or Inkscape with my SVG vectors

@scribus my CGI models are all built in an incredibly stupid way that would make any other 3D artist pull their hair off so for this pilot I’ve had to go in and clean up some things in the event that somebody else has to look at it.

Graham Linehan has been left financially destitute from his obsessive anti-trans bigotry which, in theory, means that I could probably buy the rights to Father Ted off of him for five bucks and a Sainsbury’s coupon so that nobody has to feel bad about watching it, right?

Jesus. mangoing. Christ. I think I might have finally managed to get the bastard to import the already-created vector graphic for frame 1.

@scribus That's the life of a developer/maker. Easy things taking way longer than anticipated.

@zeldatra Know anything about Cartoon Animator by Reallusion? Looking for something that isn't OpenToonz or a massive monthly subscription for mostly one-off, here-and-there kind of little things.

@zeldatra One major thing I've got is just a simple geometric pattern I want to have rotating externally and counter-rotating on the internal designs, which tbh I could probably write in like eight lines of COBOL or something equally outdated in concept, lol

@scribus Moho or Blender would be your best bets probably, with the latter you could just prep the images in Photoshop or something like that beforehand you could just import each element into Blender as a plane and just have the camera looking at them flat from above, with a sun lamp pointing straight down for uniform lighting.
-
@zeldatra 2 days into the demo and I think I may end up saying that I hate moho as much as opentoonz and I could have just made 360 god damned individual batcaveing exports from CorelDRAW by now for apple's kiwiing sake

I have been trying to get this AI to understand that murder is bad. ChatGPT agrees to a point but suggests that we really shouldn’t hold that against Tony. I think Terminator is only a few years away.

I just got ChatGPT to outline a Kingdom Hearts world based on The Sopranos for me and it quite distressingly does not to seem to think that murder is bad enough to preclude Tony Soprano as a Kingdom Hearts ally.

I thought this site was dead for the last 6 months cause I kept getting this error. I tried different browsers and devices and same thing but today it finally worked. Anyone else have this issue? http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/876377

@macpony55 I always get this with almost any browser I use. Only way I can get it to load conisistently is by using this macos app called fluid. Other than that it’s almost inaccessible for me lol. I don’t mind though, adds to the charm :)

@macpony55 Concerning. Looking into it

When I first started animating, I always looked at stuff like Futurama and thought “man I’d love to incorporate 3D into what I do and make it look so seamless like that” and like I basically was always trying, My Little Brony 2 of course having that awful CGI castle set, but the technology is at a point now where I can get it actually looking BETTER than what Futurama and Invader Zim could achieve back in the day with consumer-level hardware and software. I’m gonna do a full like tour of the CGI sets I have built for this pilot at some point because it’s really something. There are not very many painted backgrounds at all, they’re all renders, and they all look fantastic and fit right in with the character animation thanks to Blender EEVEE.

I’m a bit late to the party here, but seeing as how we saw the material live, I’m actually probably a bit early. John Mulaney’s “Baby J” is probably more accurately described as a radio drama than a standup special. Bar the intro, which is a mostly unrelated set of jokes about his childhood, the entire film is one very long story about Mulaney’s drug addiction, but more specifically his intervention, stay in rehab, and road to recovery, as well as musings and side tangents about possible causes behind his addiction, his drug fueled escapades including a reading of an interview he gave which he claims to have no recollection of, and stories about his doctor “Dr. Michael”, who sexually harassed him and sold him a lot of his drugs in the first place, all circling back around again to his childhood. This does not sound like a very funny show, but it manages to be as outrageously funny as it is introspective, and very much worth a watch/listen.

I’m questioning the wisdom of airing a COVID episode during the new Futurama season in much the same way somebody twenty years older than me probably wondered what the hell that Bush tax cut episode was about
Wednesday, 28-Jun-23 18:20:34 UTC from web-
@scribus More so in the sense that it was old news by the time the episode aired - the rebate was a pre-9/11 initiative, the episode aired in 2003, & even on the DVD commentary the writers acknowledge it was a bit of a dated topic at the time. Of course everyone gets the COVID episode, but it feels a bit LATE to do a COVID episode.

@scribus (I have been staying up way too late lately, that math should have been much more obvious)

@zeldatra oh, that would make sense. I'm terrible at comparative chronology or whatever, dates were always the worst part of history class lol

Probably not great that when the Supreme Court makes an objectively good ruling my first thought is “oh something really Fluffle Puffed up is coming down the line and they’re trying to soften the blow”

Today in “I can’t believe this actually happened to me”, my boss is upset that I answered an email from the district manager before he did because in his mind it makes him look bad. The email was addressed to both of us and I already had the answer + required paperwork on me because I had been investigating the same thing that the DM wanted me to know about. Maybe answer the email faster then?
Monday, 26-Jun-23 16:25:18 UTC from web-
@zeldatra Your boss has some serious inferiority complex and cannot be proud to have good and promptly working people under his umbrella and cannot be happy not doing the work himself. Seriously I think he wanted to be the man doing this in order to show more face in front of his superiors and gather more reasons for a pay raise.

Just realized that the day two years ago that I decided to try and speak to a therapist (which I am happy to say I am no longer doing and am doing just fine!) is nine years to the day that I uploaded my first cartoon, “The Execution.” 365 days in the year and it was that one. Funny!
