Since I last changed my URL, I died
this is what my previous incarnation currently looks like:
But I was also reborn anew, with a more powerful, flexible, and effective body! Gaze upon my jankily-subnetted form!
Now with full AE2 automation, somewhat expandable pattern interfaces, 8 times the parallels, 17.6 times the speed overall (when power suffices), much higher max temperature, and overall a greatly-improved effectiveness.
hey sorry if this isnt true i forgot exactly where i read it but this person should be brutalised and subjected to some of the most horrific acts of cruelty humanity has ever seen. it might be nothing though i might have the people mixed up
wow i didn't know this. i always thought they should be unpersoned though. spreading this so that others can be informed + to protect minors
Damn, I already had a feeling about them since... I’m not sure when. Their fashion sense really threw me off and I hated their takes on video games. I’m glad that my impulse to find out their identity, uproot their career, and destroy their life was justified after all, at least based on what I can remember!
you want proof that it happened? well, check this out, after we filled their inbox with accusations, they didn't immediately roll out a full PR statement on why they're sorry for doing the things I said they did and how they'll do better in the future. they acted as though they had never even heard of any of the people or events involved, and they even got angry once I insisted they were actually the scum of the earth and deserved to be hunted down and shot for the rumours I kinda half heard about them. why would they double down like that if they WEREN'T guilty?
They turned off anonymous asks after posting responses to fifteen anons, which is good enough evidence for me that they know they have done indefensible things and are facilitating crime. If they were innocent they would take the abuse and respond to every accusation with a unique acknowledgement of every bad thought they have ever had and abject apologies for ever having dared to be on the internet, where countless people have been harmed by their 1,000-follower blog.
never heard of this person before, but all the previous posts must be right! people wouldn't try to mislead others on the internet, especially knowing how easy it is to start a dogpile!

I have an egg related problem.
Twice a month, I get eggs from a local farmer. Lovely brown eggs, taste great, and I haven't seen yolks so yellow since when I lived on a farm as a wee child. Please understand, these are objectively wonderful eggs.
I also get 30 eggs per delivery, making my total monthly egg take home 60 eggs. Now here's the problem.
I can't stand the texture of eggs.
Scrambled, boiled, fried, and I don't intend to pull a @inbabylontheywept and enjoy a couple dozen snake style. I just can't do egg texture.
"But toad, just use them in baking!" I'VE TRIED. My freezer is apocalyptically prepped with baked goods. My parental units have kindly asked me, their beloved daughter, to please stop making them cookies this is the 4th time this week it's getting to be a problem. My neighbors avoid eye contact lest I offer yet another loaf of bread. My friends are too nice for their own good, and now their freezers are apocalyptically prepped with baked goods.
I've become some sort of accidental egg dealer in my circles. Tucking eggs into my coat pockets, gingerly offering them to strangers on the street. Politely begging, please take these eggs I have so many, please take them. It's still not enough. There's still. more. eggs.
I can't cancel my order. I can't, the farmer is too nice. She loves her chickens, calls them her little lassies. She only charges $12 for 30 eggs (I would be paying roughly $25 for the same in stores). This is an excellent deal that I'd be silly to cancel, all because I have too much of a good thing.
I'm taking home 30 more eggs today. I haven't even finished the last batch of eggs. There are so many eggs.
Just happened upon a hilarious reddit profile:

someone help where’s the screenshot of some post somewhere about the mmo player who barkept for a longass time then fucked absolutely everyone over
This one?
I love animation history and one of the things that always baffled me was how did animators draw the cars in 101 Dalmatians before the advent of computer graphics?
Any rigid solid object is extremely challenging for 2D artists to animate because if one stray line isn’t kept perfectly in check, the object will seem to wobble and shift unnaturally.
Even as early as the mid 80’s Disney was using a technique where they would animate a 3D object and then apply a 2D filter to it. This practice could be applied to any solid object a character interacts with: from lanterns a character is holding, to a book (like in Atlantis), or in the most extreme cases Cybernetic parts (like in Treasure Planet).
But 101 Dalmatians was made WAY before the advent of this technology. So how did they do the Cruella car chase sequence at the end of the film?
The answer is so simple I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner:
They just BUILT the models and painted them white with black outlines 🤣
That was the trick. They’re not actually 2D animated, they’re stop motion. They were physical models painted white and filmed on a white background. The black outlines become the lineart lines and they just xeroxed the frame onto an animation cel and painted it like any other 2D animated frame.
That’s how they did it! Isn’t that amazing? It’s such a simple low tech solution but it looks so cool in the final product.
