Eric, age 31 somehow. Also known as evilas in many places. I go by Leaf sometimes. (they/them) Physicist (I GET TO SAY THAT NOW!!!), Argentinian living in London Fan of puns and also a whole bunch of stuff I think Tumblr has finally fixed their line break issue.

Putting my opinions upfront:

This blog is staunchly pro-automation, pro-AI, pro-free-for-all-to-use AI, pro-AI art, pro-AI-as-a-means-to-reach-a-post-labor-world, and above all else, anti-intellectual property.

Intellectual property should only be used when someone is trying to straight-up lie and say that your stuff is theirs, like when someone deletes a watermark from a drawing and signs their own name on it unmodified, or when Tommy Tallarico says he recorded the Roblox Oof. Credit should be given for modified works if possible but that should be a niceness, not a legal requirement.

I don't know who took the original picture of Marilyn Monroe that Andy Warhol made into pop art nor should it be a requirement for me to know, and I think Warhol should've had every legal right to use it without asking the photographer for permission.

I have started unironically doing this. It is DEVASTATINGLY effective. You make friends SO easily.

Stop wishing people would do this and be the person who does this.

It also increases the amount of quality friends you get. Because people who are receptive to this kind of blunt openness tend to be people that arent going to look at you weird if you make a minor blunder

What I expected would happen:

Me: hi I am a weird nerd who more or less taught themself a conlang a few years back

Them: that’s weird go away

What happened:

Me: hi I am a weird nerd who more or less taught themself a conlang a few years back

Them: I would never do that! But I did do equally niche weird thing I like!

Me: I would not do that thing, but I think it and you are cool.

Them: You are cool also. Keep being weird.

Me: Please do the same and please tell me cool things about it.

Them: Deal. We are friends now.

Me: What. How did this occur. Yay.

So Edgeworth’s shoulder width (along with other characters in the early games) has been a long topic of discussion. I was curious, and it turns out that on his front-faceing sprite, they’re 1.5x the size of his head. Now, for most people, the width of each shoulder is about the same width as your face, that’s one of those anatomy tricks that artists use to keep people looking, well, proportional. So I wanted to see what he looked like with “normal” proportions.

Here’s his in-game sprite:

Here he is with corrected proportions:

Like, he actually looks like a young adult here, holy shit. They could probably even be a bit wider than this and still not make him look like he stepped out of an early 2000′s yaoi manga.

And then, since I was already editing this sprite, the next logical step was, of course, widening.

And again, for good measure.

Enjoy.

it’s not always about the evidence, wright

i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to

unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school

things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)

as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on

now, pecker means penis. and wood means boner. so of course you would make assumptions about the term woodpecker. but no. the bird

I LOVE hearing that other languages have so many beautifully unique ways to construct dick jokes

food didn't used to spoil if you left it too long, this is actually the result of planned obsolescence. because of capitalism.

my mother is playing pikmin and yelling at them in the exact tone of voice she uses for me and my siblings so we go into fight or flight every time. we thought initially that this meant she regarded the pikmin as akin to her children, but I now fear she’s always viewed us as pikmin

hi your post reads like a poem to me

steam points is like. such a stupid and worthless thing to have. Oh, i get points for buying things in the steam store, and playing steam games, and theres a store i can buy things in? Well what can i buy? steam games? coupons for steam games?

nope. animated sticker of a tantrum-ing soyjak baby and the pop cat for the steam groupchat nobody uses because discord exists.

I got a sticker of a dog scratching its ass via steam points and i send it to my friends and my girlfriend randomly when they're playing games to piss them off.

Vital info is that at one point I changed my entire Steam profile to be themed around the fuckass dog so my friends were getting messages from "ass scratching dog" with nothing but that stupid gif in the middle of their games.

I take it back steam points is worth it because it allows this person to do that and that's hilarious.

this is it. this is the best response i’ve ever received on this post. everyone pack up, go home, we’re done here

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

happy 10 years of spiders georg everyone

“average meme lasts 5 years” factoid actually just statistical error. average meme lasts 30 days or less. Spiders Georg, which started on this day 10 years ago, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Happy 13th anniversary to Spiders Georg!
