Imagine how humiliating it must be for an ad company to demand content changes to a site like FA, only for that to cause the ads viewers to literally pay -more- money directly to FA to get the advertiser to fuck off. Like, the money was there all you had to do was not fuck with it.

I have an extension that lets me flat out block youtube channels. Far better than the "don't recommend" option which does less than nothing. Good bye thumbnails with diagonally skewed, weathered brush fonted AI text in red and white, obnoxious gooner face reactions and/or suspiciously "busy" HDR.๐Ÿ‘

It was touch and go whether i was in Mississippi, Maine or Nevada for a while but... Well... ๐ŸŠ๐ŸŠ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ˜‚HELP๐ŸŠ๐ŸŠ๐ŸŠ

An Irish accent is a lot like New York and Boston? Preposterous, who could ever guess such a thing?

So the Solo books I ordered arrived! The sequel book ordered on Amazon from the UK: ripped & battered corner, packed like absolute shit. Annoying. The first book - an ebay purchase from Oklahoma: not a single scratch. Came in a "wire coat hangers" outer package with three padding layers. Hilarious.

Soo i'm following a strict high protein, low calorie diet to try to lose weight but I keep haemorrhaging muscle mass! Oh right, i need to log my meal, almost forgot. "Hey, AI food tracking app, here's a picture of a meal, can you just make up its macros please?" Phew strict calorie tracking is hard!

^ Sarcasm, of course. So, fitness Youtubers are three braincells in a trench coat. They peddle this "let AI guess your meal" shit too. Talk about sabotaging your own goals. Beyond the basics of working out and dieting, everything else they put out is fluff, filler and/or complete fabrication.

I'm just going to say, having paid up commissioners waiting years for a picture has never been acceptable, & yet i keep hearing about it from friends & acquaintances etc. Commissioners aren't free money loans, & it starts to become sloppy when you're paying off mega late comms with new comms. Eww.

Look idk who needs to hear this cause I've seen alot of artists over the years dig this exact hole, but you need to finish your commissions. A percentage of your clients are going to be repeat commissioners. Another percentage of your clients heard about you from word of mouth. ๐Ÿงต

Put another way, your mismanagement is not the fandom's responsibility to cover for. All it results in is the rest of us having to work to restore trust that you pissed away for us in advance, which also means we can't afford to make a genuine mistake or we get hit with that inherited bad will too.

Sorry, context. Hubby told me Crash was put in Fortnite and ta-da! Slenderwhoa. Horrible. To say nothing of the fact Spyro has apparently been relegated to side kick, which is yet another no from me. I don't play mtx laden mobile garbage, but this isn't the first time Crash has ended up in slop.

Has anyone recently noticed a massive slowdown loading Blender? Like i'm talking 30 seconds to load into the program, then if i open the preferences panel it takes another 20 seconds. Complete freezeout until it's loaded too. No add ons enabled outside defaults.

Update: I fixed it. It was Windows Defender. I was having massive slowdowns with VLC player as well. Turns out slapping both VLC and Blender on the scanning exceptions list means they now both load immediately. Typical fashion, Windows vibe coded pish is ruining the OS. Man I wish i could leave it.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It has good parts, it's very nostalgic, the music is occasionally perfect, acting is stellar, but it's not FF7. Not really. With the whole "multiverse compression" angle & love story core, it would've been more suited as an FF8 remake/retelling imo. More interesting too.

No hate, no dogpiling, just curious. For me, it's Skyrim. Don't know why, considering it should be exactly my kind of game, but it just didn't click for me.

Aww man, "The Art of Ratchet and Clank" concept art book is over $300+ to get a hold of now, import only, no longer produced. Really kicking myself for not picking it up back when it was $30 five years ago. FFFFFFF Same with "The Art & Making of the Venture Bros". $300+ minimum. AAAAH! Poop! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Not sure how i feel about the main character of Wildblue Skies (Bowie) being pronounced as boah-ay and not baow-ey :P ... ... Only kidding! Mwahahahaa! >:3 The game looks cute! That art and those designs are bait for sure! ๐Ÿ‘€

The guitar i bought came with a Prop65 Californian carcinogenic warning label which was a surprise! ๐Ÿ‘€ I googled - turns out it's for anything produced with harsh chemicals and not in fact because the guitar is radioactive... SO, if i promise not to eat it, i'll probably be fine! ๐Ÿคž

Man normie Youtubers playing Tomodachi Life are the dullest people on earth. Hue hue here's my clique of coworkers i made. Guys guys, Markiplier on my island OMG. "Is this the bite of eigh--" Fucking YAAWN! At least the furry ones i've seen are happy to let chaotic relationships & nonsense happen.

The stick man is always objectively better, because it hits at what you actually want, lets the artist's imagination wander with appropriate parameters and as a bonus - you had a direct hand in the pic's conceptualisation. GenAI robs both sides of imagination and that's fucking miserable imo.

If you are commissioning an artist, and want a specific pose, don't run to genAI to try and make it for you. Draw a stick person. Stick person poses are beloved among all artists. We can see exactly what you want. Do not fear sending the stick person. The stick person is magical.

I finally played New Vegas, and man it really is the tightest written of the 3D games isn't it? Sure, 3 is ugly and bad, 4 is prettier and bad, and 76 makes Mr House's ultimate vision of a sleazy profit-monger's paradise a reality irl (and is bad), but nothing nails the narrative like New Vegas did.

Eurovision sound engineers did a fantastic job from what i saw in the score results (refused to watch)... Moroccan Oil really is putting its money where the peoples' mouths are. Glitchy AI boo masking tech. We almost couldn't hear them this year over the canned cheers. Almost...

Either ban Israel because they don't reflect what the "competition" (the EU) stands for to keep up the farce, or run the risk of exposing that the Eurovision is just power projection, a visual rep of a country's favours & political alignment, with Drag Race for the straights on top as obfuscation.

Aww man, i had to renew my UK passport, which has unfortunately meant getting the new post-Brexit "blue" one. Don't get me wrong, the black/gold cover looks nice, but the insides are DRAB AS FUCK. My old EU one had boats and UK history in it - it was pretty. The new one has basic arse stencils.

Turns out passports have "series" and I ended up with a series C, which is notoriously bland. They're working on a D series with some new pictures on the pages, but maaaan that sucks! I have a boring arse passport for the next 10 years lmao
