#owning your media

[danepopfrippery]

After that cd post went viral where i said no thanks i decided to do a set on preserving/freeing your media because a lot of gen z and a dont even know what ripping a cd is. Im all for freeing your media and owning it even if the grid goes down. I still hate cds tho.

Cds/mp3s:

33 and 1/3rds, cassettes and 45rpm records:

78rpm records and anything older:

Freeing your ebooks/finding ebooks of books u already own:

Film/tv and family movies:

Streaming your now available films/shows/music

Preserving pics family and otherwise

All these can be mac or pc and most of them you’ll need itunes which is free, audacity (also free) and a cd/dvd drive for your computer:

Limited-time deal: Gotega External DVD Drive, USB 3.0 Portable +/-RW , DVD Player for CD ROM Burner Compatible with Laptop Desktop PC Windows Linux OS Apple Mac Black https://a.co/d/5d1a7tg

More choice-based VNs should follow the lead of the old Choose Your Own Adventure books – particularly the Edward Packard ones – in having the worldbuilding change based on whatever would be most fucked up given your choice. You went through the left door? Fuck you, there are psychic chimps now.

The fun thing about COD is that everyone who calls the 141 and every other operator their precious little mew mew skrunkly is fully aware that Soap once used an enemy soldier as a meat shield, Price responded to a barricade by attempting vehicular manslaughter, Gaz saw one terrorist attack and decided going feral was an option that should be on the table, and Ghost is, well, Ghost.

They know their little mew mews are war criminals and they do not care.

So funny Viktor chooses to present himself to Jayce as a white-golden robot (considering it is shown he could possess one of his followers) despite his representative colors being purple and blue (during s2 arc 1 and arc 2 and as the Herald Machine). But for the very specific purpose of convincing Jayce to join him, he's represented in the colors associated with Mel. Literally CATWALKING into the room, which is an action associated with Mel too

Australian Social Media News

Australia has passed a law that bans anyone under age 16 from using social media starting late 2025, fining tech companies up to A$49.5M for non-compliance. While intending to address mental health concerns in kids and teenagers, the law raises significant risks for privacy, digital access, and the freedom of expression, raising questions about the boundaries of digital censorship.

With that being said, we don’t expect this decision to affect the OTW or any of its projects, including AO3. However, as the OTW, we are against all forms of censorship and will be releasing a detailed statement about the matter soon.

As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.

Perhaps a Hot Take: I don't have anything against JayVik as a ship, but the amount of people in the fandom who use it as an opportunity to be openly racist and misogynistic towards Mel and Sky, and to feminize/infantilize Viktor as a disabled man make it REALLY hard to enjoy

[amywritesthings]

with the banning of tiktok, i want to make this abundantly clear for those who may be coming over to the tumblr side of things:

this blog is anti-censorship

this blog is "dont like dont read" and "ship and let ship"

this blog is supportive of "problematic" and "dark" ships, tropes, dynamics, storylines, and art

this blog believes that what you consume or create in fiction does not define you as a person, your morals, or your ethics

bottom line: fiction is fiction

[comatosebunny09]

I saw someone's author's note that said, "If this isn't your vibe, leave the fic alone. Read something else. Like always, I'm not responsible for the media you consume." And that is so fucking real to me. Minding one's business has become a lost art. We should get back to that ASAP.

I REMEMBER THE GENGHIS KHAN ONE. What the fuck was up with that

(With reference to this post there.)

Given that it's from the same book where the only unambiguously good ending is unreachable by following the normal rules of play – and explicitly acknowledges this in order to make a philosophical point if you find it by cheating – I think it's safe to say that a lot was up with that.

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐄 𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐑𝐒 as 𝐒𝐀𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐍/𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐃

foreshadowing of the eye of sauron. "One moment only it stared out, but as from some great window immeasurably high there stabbed northward a flame of red, the flicker of a piercing Eye; and then the shadows were furled again and the terrible vision was removed."
