Panel 1: Text says "My dad was an orc". It's a green orc wearing a dress shirt with a purple tie and glasses, holding a cup of coffee. The cup is made of stone and has an ragged axe blade on it. He also has a pencil in his pocket protector, and the pencil is also a tiny axe.

Panel 2: Text says "My mom was a witch". It's a woman with green skin and one yellow eye, glowing and emanating magic, gleaming from beneath her big purple witch had, which has small wood constructions hanging off of it and two pins on it: one of a mushroom and one of the Newgrounds angry face. He's wearing jeans and a Costco tank top, with a reddish purple vest over it, and is holding a broom and a tote bag with a bag of chips visible within it.

Panel 3: Text says "You'd think I'd be some kind of magical berserker". We are looking overhead at a muscular green man looking up at us, with his arms splayed out in a powerful stance, and his left arm holding an axe. He has a dark purple had and shoulder-cape, and smiles with malice. Text continues, saying "but actually I ended up with my MOM'S strength and my DAD'S magic attunement."

Panel 4: A normal looking with green skin, messy purple hair, big round glasses, and a pointy nose, wearing a t-shirt with the night sky in a square in the center, says "so, basically, I'm green."

this girl Gloria who got into my local newspaper for seeing Titanic 50 times in Rome and who I have remembered since reading about her in 1998

Published March 14, 1998|Updated Sept. 12, 2005

A 12-year-old from Rome, identified only as Gloria, goes to the movies every day. Same time, same place, same movie: Titanic. So far, the girl has seen the hit film about 50 times, leading the pack of Italy's fervent Titanic fans. And she's still not tired of it. She even has cats named Jack and Rose. The young movie buff was discovered by the newspaper La Repubblica. "She comes to the 9 o'clock feature every night," said Giancarlo Malferrari, the owner of the only movie theater in Castelfranco Emilia, a town of 11,000 in central Italy. "And every weekend, she watches two shows in a row." Now the theater has started saving her favorite seat and even letting her in free. Neither he nor La Repubblica used the girl's last name, citing Italy's privacy law. Gloria told La Repubblica it isn't heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio that attracts her, but the character he plays: Jack Dawson, a struggling artist who wins his passage on the Titanic in a poker game. "Jack is cuter than Leo," she said. "And it's for real; it's a true story. That's what makes it so beautiful." Gloria's mother, a cleaning woman who works at night, says she hasn't seen Titanic yet but she's not worried about her daughter's obsession. "She's not doing anything bad," she told the newspaper, adding that Gloria has to do her homework first every night.

Newgrounds has a very helpful guide for detecting AI audio over at www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... for anyone interested in catching AI-generated music. Don't rely on any service that uses AI for detection, that's just using slop to find slop and you'll get false positives/missed catches.

The reason many of us on the academic side keep saying free and fair elections are not guaranteed is because we are seeing the effort to rig them out in the open months in advance.

They are not being subtle and the calls for civility until the election are increasingly dangerous

Today's progress! Featuring an alternate palette for funsies as well (again, colours are anything but final!)

🤗

A pixelart of an anthropomorphic character with long, rounded-off "whiskers" and similarly round hair. Their ears are located atop their head and are somewhat diamond-shaped. They're wearing some kind of oversized hoodie and are holding an umbrella in their right hand (left-side from viewer's perspective).

You can see a subtle smirk on their face.

The pixelart is present twice; one instance is using a blue and yellow palette, while the other one is using a pink and green one!

the thing is if genAI could be 1) done without burning down our planet and 2) trained on data used with permission of and compensation for the owners, i think it could be fun—not as ~revolutionary~ as its proponents insist on but like i'd have fun w an image generator. unfortunately, The Pollution
