They know their little 2 year honeymoon is almost over and they're about to be fucked after the midterms so they're preparing their "get out of jail free" cards.

If Chichi kept fighting and getting stronger alongside Goku, it could've been neat to see Goku's entire family fight villains alongside him like the Incredibles or something, lol

Plaster those "100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes!" blurbs on every piece of marketing you can find and bump those numbers up even more, let's make this HAPPEN.

LAIKA’s ‘Wildwood’ is tracking a $15-20M domestic box office debut after a skyrocket of pre-sale tickets. This will potentially make LAIKA’s biggest opening weekend ever. (Source: @GlobalBoxOffice on X)

Toshiba has an opportunity to do the funniest thing by reviving the HD DVD format out of spite, only this time as 4K DVD.

'Sony reportedly exits UHD Blu-ray player market' www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?sub... 'Sony Japan has discontinued its last remaining UHD Blu-ray player, UBP-X700/K, seemingly marking the company's exit.'

I always thought HD DVD as a name was way easier to explain to normies than Blu-Ray anyway. With Blu-Ray its like "its like a DVD, but HD" ....while HD DVD was literally self explanatory.

I keep forgetting that I was on newTumbl too before that closed, which combined with Cohost and now Pillowfort, makes /three/ "tumblr-likes" I've supported that've come and gone now, all less than a decade after Tumblr's nsfw ban signaled the good-ol' days of the internet were coming to an end.

Haven't been paying attention to the news out of exhaustion but I hear that the midterms might look bad for republicans. Hope its true & everyone goes out to vote, but I got burnt extra crispy having sunshine & rainbows optimism on 2024's election night so I'm not allowing myself to get too excited.

I never got into a smooth 1:1 posting cadence on Pillowfort like I planned but it sucks that they're closing; I'm getting flashbacks to Cohost again. All the big social media sites are going down the tubes and we keep losing non-shitty sites to run to.

Losing Pillowfort also sucks extra hard because every social site these days feels like a twitter clone, while Cohost and especially Pillowfort were the only true tumblr clones out there that did the whole blog style thing.

At this stage all that's left is NG which is limited in its own ways (censoring and removing posts based on certain characters or art styles etc) Neocities, which has hinted that they'll crack down on nsfw someday, and the option of starting our own sites entirely.

This is true. I think our generation's problem is that we grew up with higher quality TV cartoons in the 90s - 00s, PLUS all the big sakuga-stuffed anime also left a big impression on us during the 00s anime boom, so now we try & emulate all that when its not realistic for smaller teams to pull off.

indie animation's still in its merry melodies era but if it wants to survive, it is going to have to enter its hanna barbera era

a cool thing about indie animation is that it's expected to save the entire industry, every show has to look better than the things the fans grew up on or it's a waste of time, there's no union to be found anywhere, no budget for any of it, and asking the audience to pay anything to watch is illegal

Starting to feel normal enough to get back to drawing. Even after I got "better" days ago and even went to work, my whole body was still sore and tired from coughing, the sustained elevated heartrates, and what I suspect was a fever at that time I was bedridden etc. Gotta make up for lost time.

I know I'm in the minority but everytime a new 3DS-shaped emulation handheld comes out boasting that its perfect for 3DS games I'm like "not quite, I don't see a 3D slider on it." I lowkey wonder if its part of why prices for used real 3DS systems are so high; the increasingly rare, lost tech aspect

Feeling about 90% better today compared to days ago, just waiting for my appetite to come back fully. Should probably be fully back to normal by tomorrow which works out since its my next day off.

Just sitting here wondering how differently the 2024 elections would've went down if those bot farms were destroyed back then instead of a couple days ago. At the very least maybe this makes things better for the midterms.

So I've been dealing with what I think to be mild food poisoning since yesterday. Called out of work and spent most of my day sleeping, but its been that mind-racy fever dream style sleep and I don't feel like I really slept well at all. Got some Dayquil and hydration and trying to ride this out.

Don't worry guys this is a giant fake-out the "One More Thing" Club Chaos announcement is still coming, they're really getting us good right now, whew good one guys good one haha. ha

Gotta be careful with Klipy gifs sometimes. Oftentimes I'll think I've found the one I'm looking for, then post it in without watching the full thing especially if the convo is moving fast, and more often than not there's some last minute addition to it that changes the whole meaning of the gif

Would be further along on current comms but I've had 5 workdays in a row with tomorrow being a ~6th~ before I finally get another day off to hopefully draw a bunch and make up for lost time.

Cartoon Network/ Adult Swim was my dream industry job if I ever got lucky and/or skilled enough to pursue such a job anywhere or pitch anything tbh. I've already increasingly been of the mindset over the years that shooting for indie groups and projects would be the move but now it's even moreso.

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

CSP being pressed to take even just /kissing/ off their asset store and FA being told that plus sized characters are considered adult should be a giant waving red flag to folks. Sex workers have /always/ been right to say these policies never stop with 1 type of content. They always wanna ban more.

horrible news. none of this will end well, very bleak times to be an animator. i'm going to continue championing and encouraging independent animators and groups like Glitch to lead the charge

The combined Warner Bros. and Paramount company will be named Skydance. Warner Bros. and Paramount will continue to operate as brands under the parent company.

Switch 2 really isn't a bad name (even though I wanted Super Nintendo Switch) but the main thing is that the mystery is gone now because we already know what the next 10 Nintendo consoles will be called at this point, just adding numbers to the lucrative Switch concept Playstation style, lol.
