#that credit is most important

in my humble opinion, minecraft has plenty of material to make a movie out of, it just has to be an artistic movie that is damn near silent all the time. also animated

like imagine a man wakes up alone not remembering who he is, he’s scared but ultimately finds a way to live, getting a dog, building a farm etc. one day while exploring he finds that he’s not the only person alive, he finds alex who’s been living with villagers.

imagine the movie deals with themes of mortality and immortality and being higher level beings. why are steve and alex different from villagers and pillagers? why are there lost civilizations? and what’s with the other dimensions? who were these old beings? are they one of them?

it could be a beautiful movie about purpose and how to live. especially with that end poem. the take away is you make you’re own meaning. or something like that

but no. we have jack black building blocks and shit.

I think Curly’s monologue in the How Fish Are Made DLC gives so much insight to why he thinks the way he does but is also so sad cause it’s just this anger from a person who no longer has the energy to be angry.

You can tell a lot of it’s directed at himself, his choices and how he thinks they affected the people in his life. How he tried to work with what he had and it just wasn’t enough both by the design and how he interacted with it. He’s bitter, he’s upset but he’s also accepting it in a place he really isn’t expected to. But then again that’s always a problem he’s had.

It really goes in tandem with how he is characterized in mouthwashing as we really don’t get those inner turmoils. He’s always trying to help people with theirs and his gets clouded through a different persons view.

Post: learning to spot the tells of generative images wouldn't be so necessary if people would just source the images

Half the comments: [lists of tells]

And I know I have made posts about spotting the tells, but, really: Sources! Sources are important! Because for years, if not decades already, there has been a problem of people posting art without sources, thereby robbing the artists of recognition

If you genuinely value the work of human artists, then, please: credit them.

Note: this post is not about generative images/AI art, and if you use it to comment on that, then you have missed the point. Please credit artists.

I don't generally hang out in the Dr. Ratio tags, so I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but it tickles me every time I remember it;

did you guys know Dr. Ratio actually had an in-game cameo before his big debut in 1.6's The Crown of the Mundane and Divine? He was actually in the 1.5 update, The Crepuscule Zone aka Fyxestroll Garden Event!

So in 1.6, we get to actually meet Ratio face-to-face partway through. But even before that, we unknowingly talk to him through text messages in the researchers' group chat.

We know that this is Ratio's username, because we have his achievement:

And in 1.5, we have just one (1) single instance of this same username on the message boards...

Dude's been trolling since before he even showed his face BSKZJDMSKMSNDN

Also I am. Constantly forgetting how fucking funny Hunter is. We never give him enough credit for how funny he is because his life is so fucked up but I swear 90% of his lines are just bit after bit after bit. He's not even trying either. Anytime he actively tries to make a joke it falls flat but if you just put him in a Scenario he'll find a way to be so over invested and yet out of touch/at odds with whatever's going on. He's so autistic

Amy has always been a beloved character of mine but running the daily account honestly made me love her even more. Like girl you are so complex, you are so awesome and should be beloved by all. Some people are so evil about you I don’t understand why you simply want love and that’s not a crime at all…..you’re angry, upset, and mad and I love you for it. She’s so awesome.

The dungeon meshi art style is very good my favorite thing is that whenever a character is at a side view you can actually see their nose shape

ice and his obnoxious ass academy ring are my fav part of TG 86'

does your mav have any thoughts ab his husband wearing that damn ring

he’s probably still a little bitter about it but it’s not like ice SHOULDNT be proud of going to the USNA or anything so what is he gonna do, ask him to take it off??

i have this image ive yet to incorporate into any of my writing where ice spends his whole life with the USNA ring on the fourth finger of his right hand & feels a little imbalanced. something’s missing. & then he marries maverick, and he has the wedding ring on the fourth finger of his left hand, and finally he is complete. he has both. he is both a great officer and someone capable of love. neither side is subservient to the other anymore. they coexist in harmony at the end of the day. and of course that’s something maverick would respect.

oh shit brb adding that image to my slider one-shot rn

Also weird how before the trailer viv was always tweeting to hyper her show up with gifs that had animation errors before the finished product... Like with an attentative view from the sidelines it's a wonder why she's purposefully choosing the shittiest shots with obvious fucking errors or mistakes that could've and will be fixed but like.... this shit has been in production for 4 years I'd hope that they would have cleaned it up and been a bit more careful unlike Helluva Boss....

Connecting dots tonight (didn't connect shit, I've connected them, etc) because of this post about item descriptions to do with Sampo I saw a few days ago and! I feel like there are so many interesting things that could be implied from this!! Because the recipe for the High-Tech Protective Gear is given to you by Bronya (before the IPC invaded Belobog!), who says this little interesting tidbit about it:

This is an item from before the Eternal Freeze, 700 years ago. Even to the rest of the universe, it would be SORELY outdated. It cannot be made in Belobog anymore due to the loss of entire eras. It is effectively useless; this recipe had to be somewhere gathering dust, kept around solely for archival purposes. There is no reason for Sampo to know about this item or have any idea how it works and yet. AND YET. He's just running around selling knock offs!!

He shouldn't even know how to make these, but the fact that he does means Sampo either

had the blueprints from off-world before he came to Belobog (most likely but also most boring answer)

broke into Qlipoth Fort and copied down the blueprints (completely plausible - he's possibly shown doing exactly that in his splash art)

found another copy out in the ruins of the old world (also completely plausible - Sampo is astoundingly resilient against both the Fragmentum and the cold, as noted by Lynx haha)

Meanwhile, the Inferior Protective Gear recipe comes from an NPC in the underground, and when she gives it to you, she talks about building robots and the robot fighting scene sorry about the quality I didn't have screenshots for her dialogue so I had to use wiki

Which makes me feel like it's safe to say that the inferior gear is mostly being used in the underground, especially by the vagrants and their robots for fights, because...well, who else would use it? Cocolia has made it illegal to explore too far into the Snow Plains, and besides, it's way too dangerous for most civilians even WITH gear. The Silvermane Guards are funded by official sources, they have no reason to rely on Sampo for armor. So it makes sense for an underground mechanic to know the recipe; there's probably not as much market for it up in the overworld.

And if you look at the descriptions, you can see why this probably wasn't something that could be made in Belobog anymore; it requires a charging system of some sort.

We know it's not a problem with the basic materials because all three ingredients can be found right in the administrative district. But the underground only has two of them; somehow, despite being in the planet's crust, and literally crawling with robots...there is no metal down there. It isn't found anywhere, sold by anyone, or dropped by anything. And metal just so happens to be the one ingredient Sampo replaces in his knock off version.

The Inferior Gear uses trash instead, something which, going by the words of that same mechanic, is MORE than abundant in the underground- any good quality parts are extremely difficult to come by down there.

Anyway, all his shadiness aside, I love the implication that Sampo is smart enough to be able to take this item that no one else on the planet probably knows anything about, and was able to figure out what he could replace, and how, and with what, in order to make it easily accessible to the people of the underground, even without access to overworld resources. Because his version DOES work! It literally gives you the exact same amount of defense boost as the IPC one!

Someone should absolutely still knock him around for it, though, world's most slappable face fr fjkdsjfdkjafk

There's nothing more ironic and mis-leading than MCU Spider-Mans song choices. Left Hand Free, Bliztkrieg Bop (whitch is even from a punk bans), Confident, Act my age. Those song choices imply a young asshole with attitue and a chip on his shoulder that has more left leaning politics, whitch MCU Peter is basicly none of those things, whitch sucks because if those song choices were accurate we could've gotten a pretty accurate Peter.

GOD!! GOD!! I'VE SAID THIS SO MANY TIMES!! the ONLY person working for marvel studios who knows a damn thing about peter parker is the guy who picked the music. they're the only one who gets it. they get it. they understand peter parker.

left hand free is SUCH a galaxy brained song choice for ditko era spider-man.

ditko era spider-man who wholeheartedly believed that spider-bite granted him undeniable swagger!!!

you don't know HOW excited i was that this was the song they used to introduce mcu peter parker. if they'd just... if they'd just asked the person who picked this song why they picked it to introduce peter parker, then i guarantee the people working on the movie would've had a greater understanding of who peter parker is. you could NOT have picked a better song to introduce a ditko-era spider-man. how could you start so strong... and drop the ball so hard...

in another vein i remember "time to pretend" being used in the homecoming marketing and thinking god. god. that's also such a galaxy-brained song choice for peter. like the people who picked the songs associated with mcu spider-man were just fucking... enlightened. they understood teenage peter parker better than anyone else working on that damn movie. goddamn. goddamn.

galaxy brained... galaxy brained... i want to meet whoever picked the mcu spider-man tracklist. i want to shake their hand. they get peter parker better than anyone. better than me. better than you. they know what's going on.
