#should I find a full video of this?

[fraudulent-cheese]

...So i promised myself i'd try to assign responses to the second Super Mario Game survey Jan Misali made to Total Drama characters. Here's the first couple!

Absolutely loving these gorgeous images of David looking at Michael at the opening night of Macbeth, which were kindly sent to me by the photographer on Twitter.

The video is from Getty Images, and when slowed down, you can see that David looks at Michael just before he bows, as well as after. It's as if Michael is David's touchstone, the anchor that steadies him in that moment. He looks for him almost instinctively, and the pull between them is inescapable. Hundreds of people in that room, and the only person David saw right then was Michael...

who is your favorite oc

out of my most recent ones, meringue's definitely up there. out of everyone in the overdrive cast, she's the one i had the most fun designing from start to finish. personality wise she's also a bit of a far cry from the characters i typically make, but i think that's ultimately a good thing. this girl could kill me and i'd thank her.

i wish i could go into the specifics of why she's my favorite, but it's overdrive spoilers so you guys'll just have to wait :p

out of All of my OCs though? definitely this guy here. i cooked up cicero during the height of the pandemic and he's been occupying my brain like a parasite ever since. technically he's a DnD character i've been keeping on hand in case i ever end up being a player in another campaign someday, but i like tossing that guy into situations on my own. just for fun.

you can read his full lore doc here, if you want :)

i think jess is "good" with handling the fauna and likes to help with sigurds logs cause she finds them interesting. shes like a toddler who got their hands on a venomous snake within the two seconds you look away but has still never been injured by whatever it is she grabbed. not that she can tame them, shes just either really lucky or stupid. or both. (i love her still)

connor dewar/brandon duhaime :: 8k

“Brandon,” Connor says with a sigh. “There’s no baby in there.”

“Not yet,” Brandon says. Connor feels his stomach twist, almost like what he would imagine a baby kicking to feel like.

Hello Stray community! After two months of work, I'm excited to bring your attention to this video!

Someone by the name of "Балвд лыжыэфэф" on YouTube extracted over six hours of music and ambience from Stray's game files. This is an amazing resource, full of extended tracks, ambience, and cut content.

What it lacked, however, were time-stamps. The description included a list of all the audio files that were extracted, but nothing to indicate when a track ended or began, nor where it played in-game.

So, I did all that! Almost every track in this video is now time-stamped, with listings that show where everything plays in-game. I made a comment that listed everything as it appears in the video, and one that lists everything as it appears in-game. I also made a list of some motifs. I couldn't help myself.

This was a lot of work, and I'm so thrilled to share it with you all. If you're looking for a song that was never or only partially included in the OST, you'll find it here! And if you find any mistakes, please let me know! Enjoy!

>exclusively goes by they/them >all material referencing them refers to them strictly as such >part of the fucking plot is revealing the characters are their own rather than blank self-inserts >itd be weird for a work from around 2015 to use they/them for the main character anyways rather than forcing a binary option considering the political landscape at the time and attitudes towards trans people (bad) >

like for context this was attached to a screenshot of one of the largest undertale theorists getting harassed to hell and high water because of years of transphobia, and this fucker has the gall to add this:

and have this at the beginning of their post

yeah, i wonder why someone would want to leave a broader community if these were the only people you had to interact with. nearly a fucking decade of morons more willing to accept transphobic strawmen that misunderstands basic aspects of the plot than accept a character in a video game that only goes by they/them, and where no other queer character is "properly labeled" as such, is nonbinary.

when I was a kid I was rlly upset that art teachers didn’t like anime-inspired art, and then I realized it wasn’t the anime aspect. jumping into highly stylized art without knowing the fundamentals AND with a refusal to learn them is a bad combo

Merffet's Polar Cube reassembly

Meet my new blorbo, The Cube

A fidget/puzzle that was on my Christmas list since I couldn't stop playing with the ones at the shops, I took it around with me for like a week.

It's like a rubix cube, but you've got to make the colours alternate.

Sadly, it has been giving me some trouble.

It kept jamming up, despite my attempts to lubricate it, or adjust it using the hidden screws. So I took the plunge and took it apart.

Loosen the top screw enough, and soon the cube was no more.

I couldn't find any guides to this cube online, so I'm making this all up as I go. I carefully noted which parts where where as I pulled it to bits.

These are the parts I found inside:

Corner

Center

Edge

Core attachment link

Inner track bracket

Outer track bracket

Center piece frame

Seeing the cube completely in pieces, after many earlier attempts to fix it, almost makes you want to throw everything out, buy a new cube, and pretend nothing happened.

But I persisted.

I needed to find a place to start. Eventually I managed to wiggle two inner and one outer bracket between two parts of the core.

You can also see the little mark which the core attachment point must line up with.

To get the rest in, I had to turn the core plate just slightly. It helps to accept that these parts are intended to slide past each other, and a little unevenness won't cause everything to instantly come undone.

The little gaps in the side seem to be there so you can squeeze the two brackets tight enough that they slip into the gap where eventually, they will sit tight.

Now I have something firmly attached to the core, and that is enough to really get going.

Doing the first layer of ball segments was just a matter of placing them in the right order and orientation:

I also added the brackets.

(I did do the layer below as well, but that fell off later, so we shall ignore that for now)

Now the top layer, just got to add the inner brackets and center link,

Then i have to wiggle on the center pieces. The screw needs to be loose enough that can sort of hook them under the plate.

I've left a gap, because the last edge segment and corners need to be jammed in there somehow...

And that's one side done!

Now for the other, which should be much the same

First layer,

Top layer, this time you can see the brackets, ready for me to slip the central link in,

I use a poking tool (awl) to reposition these, when the center pieces go in it helps to be able to slide them to the side so there's more gap to slide the pieces in.

This time I did the last center pieces last, and put the edge in first.

Just got to wiggle in the last pieces, and,

I am done. I also have the puzzle solved, because I needed to make sure it would still be solvable. It's still a little stiff in parts, but now everything is moving again.

I still haven't solved it the normal way.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!
