  1. (if Adobe adds ARM support to their Creative Cloud software I’ll immediately consider it a worthy purchase regardless of all other factors)

  2. Bit the bullet and bought an iPad Air for portable drawing. Once the pencil and the accessories were factored in, I basically just paid for a MacBook. All those papayain artists I follow better have been into something!!!!

  3. I knew what COULD have happened, I just assumed it WOULDN’T because I’ve never had a particularly adverse reaction to any vaccines before, not even the weird experimental Swine Flu mist vaccine I got when I was ten.

  4. @adiwan I think the issue was more that it was completely unscheduled and out of nowhere so they didn’t have time to replace me when I was suddenly too ill to work the next day. In retrospect it was probably irresponsible of me to have taken it when I knew I had work the next day but like, hey, the vial was gonna go to waste otherwise.

  5. Learned that the pharmacist at my store got yelled at by my boss because he gave me the covid vaccine that made me so sick I had to call out. Oops?

  6. i did a neat thing with automated inbetweens but i'm not allowed to show it because it was done for a friend using his keyframes just to prove that it was doable, i just thought you should know that one day computers will make all of us irrelevant

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

  8. 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?

  9. But man, the weirdest part about all of that is that I felt TERRIBLE yesterday, it was the worst I’d felt in years, but I feel perfectly fine today.

  10. @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.

  11. Just called out of work for the first time in like three years. Fever spiked to 102.5. Gonna take it easy today.

  12. Way, way preferable to actually getting Covid obviously but man this sucks regardless.

  13. Hoo boy this vaccine is kind of kicking my ass right now.

    Saturday, 06-Mar-21 10:16:27 UTC from web
  14. so about five hours later: i now have a mild fever, which i've been TOLD is a good thing, but all i'm thinking right now is that the covid vaccine gave me covid

  15. @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

    Saturday, 06-Mar-21 05:40:50 UTC from web in context
  16. And it was the single-shot vaccine, no less!

    Saturday, 06-Mar-21 02:14:34 UTC from web
  17. Hey uh guess who just got a surprise Covid vaccine

  18. I know this is a “just me” thing, but I love being able to differentiate episodes of a cartoon that had their animation produced by different studios.

  19. Disney+ is upping my subscription to $8 a month, this is what happens when you put a Democrat in the White House

  20. @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.

  21. I’m working at a different store today and everyone here is a MONDO supremo prick, but it’s slightly more bearable than my home store because this store is in the sticks so a 100% hostile customer base is only like twelve people

    Saturday, 27-Feb-21 22:14:15 UTC from web
  22. Guess who’s only just left work because the lazy piece of grape night clerk didn’t come in and there’s a fresh truck that needs unloading

  23. Am now learning that the final companion of the classic era was 16 years old. Well then.

  24. @scribus Or maybe someone who doesn’t look like they could be a student at Ridgemont High, yeah

  25. 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

  26. Days presumably pass between one scene and another, but Jodie Whittaker apparently spends all of that time wearing Peter Capaldi’s suit because you can’t just have the Doctor change clothes offscreen I guess

  27. "you there! what are you doing on earth? what do you want?"
    "i'm just an asshole, and i'm here to do mean things to people for fun because i'm an asshole"

  28. these characters are so interchangeable

    Wednesday, 24-Feb-21 08:48:15 UTC from web
  29. yeah sure we've had ghosts and androids and robots and living fat and extraterrestrials that use children as heroin and cracks in the walls and a monthslong phenomenon where nobody anywhere could die from anything and there was also that time where Obama became John Simm after succeeding a different President who was incinerated by John Simm and everyone else on earth including me became John Simm but aliens? that's just unbelievable

    Wednesday, 24-Feb-21 08:27:19 UTC from web
  30. also, lol at the one guy who doesn't believe in aliens in the first episode of Chibnall's run. where's he been the last fifteen years?
