An Expert Talk on Topic of Project Idea with Internet of Things

[inkskinned]

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

trying to think of the Grumbot creation "timeline" since the lore is CRAZY now

so we have:

Original Grumbot, OG Grumbot, Vintage Grumbot, Oldest Grumbot or whatever you'd call it, definitely created by Big Ron

The Mumbintosh?? Could it be a Grumbot variant?? Maybe created by Mumbo when he was a kid with the help of Big Ron??? I like to think that

s7 Grumbot created by Mumbo and Grian

Grumbot Jr

Grumbot from Doc's and Ren's s8 ending (could be the same guy as s7 Grumbot but I genuinely don't know enough about Doc's and Ren's s8 lore)

Grumbot Prime from s9

Emperor Grumbot from the ESMP x HC crossover

Also I wanna point out that Grumbot Prime and s7 Grumbot are basically the same guy except more advanced? Considering that Prime is canonically from an alternate universe where, from what we can gather, Mumbo won the elections

If we look at it like that, then, canonically, the Grumbot AI was created years ago by Big Ron who then taught Mumbo how to create it (they're DEFINITELY relatives in some way), then Mumbo created it again together with Grian, who created the body while he did the AI for their presidential campaign

THAT then splits into 2 different timelines where in one they didn't win, but the other they did, creating Grumbot Prime

This whole Grumbot AI has been around for a very, VERY long time, it seems

I don’t believe in gatekeeping at all but if you flat out admit to me that you’ve consumed little to ZERO of the canon media and have gotten all of your information based off of reading fluffy fic with woobified characters, I will not be taking ANY of your fandom opinions or meta seriously

Do you have any tips for drawing faces at interesting angles? I try to draw faces tilted up or down or to the side but it keeps going wrong and I end up reverting to something more stilted. You make it look effortless

the only reason why things can appear effortless is bc the illustrators put lots of effort into practice beforehand! my biggest advice if you're finding an angle tricky is to use reference images - i absolutely do this especially when the angles are more extreme than what i've gotten used to drawing 👍

as for a tip that might be helpful: try to think about the physical space what you're drawing would occupy - i've said this before, but thinking about heads (in this case) as a 3d shape with certain characteristics will help you understand what changes in the viewer's perspective (= what you put down on the page) when you turn it this way and that

whenever i start sketching a head i almost always include those convex lines to help me treat it as a 3d object:

"If men got periods/needed abortion/got ovarian or breast cancer, those resources would be handed out like candy! They'd be more plentiful than ATMs!!"

You mean perisex cis men. You mean perisex cis men. Say what you mean.

I'm a trans man. I avoid all medical care because ninety percent of my doctors have not treated me properly because I am a trans man. I am acutely aware that doctors would be more than happy to not provide me care on the basis of my being trans, even if it costed my life.

Every time I so much as think about the doctors, I'm reminded of men like Robert Eads - of how my care is at the whim of the opinions a doctor has about my life. And because of my own past negative experiences, I hesitate to open my patient portal to schedule an appointment. When I have gotten a good doctor, it's not been the rule, it's the exception. I have a doctor right now who I'm lucky to see, who actually treats me like a human being. I'm celebrating that a doctor finally treats me like a person.

If you want to group all men as being the same, I hope you're willing to have that blood on your hands. Because that care is routinely kept away from men, and it's a real, tangible, systemic issue.

I don't talk about this because I see being trans as this negative thing, but because I want to continue living and I want my trans siblings to live. I understand the frustration that people have who say this - it's another systemic issue that also costs lives. However, I am alarmed at the trend of... forgetting or perhaps erasing that this is still an issue for men, that we literally aren't treated the same as somebody like a cis perisex woman. No doctor has ever treated me like one, and of that I know for a fact. And this is a simple fix - be clear about who you mean when you talk about a group of people or a specific phenomenon. That applies when you are talking about any group of people because, generally, these overgeneralizations will be useless because it can't apply to everyone, and might just hurt a group of people you may not even be intending on hurting.

Charles, having been a ghost for five minutes: so I guess you can show me the ropes on how to get around as a ghost! This’ll be aces!

Edwin, who has only recently escaped hell, where he had a physical form, and has been a ghost on earth for like a week at best: haha, yes of course Charles

Not that anyone asked but looking at a.) the fact that Carpenter says that it’s clay being torn from the riverbank by the floodwaters of the White Gull and b.) The Hjulström Curve:

We can determine that the flow velocity of the White Gull River in TSV45 was approximately 150-300 cm/s.

What does this mean? Absolutely nothing, I’m going to be so honest. I just find this amusing

some more thoughts about leftist antisemitism from a chinese american person:

whatever happened to "collapsing diverse communities into a monolith is bad, actually"? this seems to be perfectly uncontroversial when people talk about anti-asian racism

and yet certain people are all too happy to label every jew they don't like a "zionist" and act like zionism has one definition (that usually includes genociding palestinians, of course) and like. do you even know that there are different definitions of zionism? have you done the slightest hint of learning about different jewish thoughts about israel besides "israel bad"?

it's just. fascinating. and not in a good way.

Expert Talk on Industrial Automation and IOT 4.0

Wait, for real!?!?!?!👀

Yep yep! Ink has two dads, and one of them is Zephyr!Gaster or Aster. He's super adorable, you should check out his FAQ!

Ink and his other dad (Undertop!Gaster) teaches him about the Multiverse and on the other hand Aster teaches Ink to enjoy things (machinery, blueprints, astrophysics) that don't rely on his inky creation powers!

Ink does some other non paint stuff too, he plays the flute for one and iirc, he is trying sewing, which is why I made my variant of him get into embroidery
