They've reversed this decision, but that doesn't change that they were willing to do this.

Adobe just discontinuing Animate and preventing its functionality after another year is horrifying.
Discontinuing support could happen in business, but actively killing it by making unusable at all is so anti-consumer that I’m adding “look into Illustrator alternatives “ to my long term todo list.

The video I saw this in invoked the habits of billionaires.
I really have to question how he thinks he knows the habits of billionaires.
I’m also 99% certain they’re billionaires less from waking up early and working hard each day, and more from a mix of privilege, luck, and cartoon villainy.

”To take advantage of your natural flow state after waking up, get to work within 60 to 90 seconds of opening your eyes!”
“What about using the bathroom?”
“Go fast.”
“I have a two-hour commute?”
“Sleep in the office.”
“I have kids who need breakfast.”
“Stop squandering my flawless advice!”

You know, people SAY laundry is inevitable... And they're right. Do your laundry.
This post is dedicated to everyone who's been putting off doing laundry and were just startled by being told to do it.

I wonder if adverb aversion decreases when one has difficulty reading people.
“Dogs are neat,” he said happily.
“Ah, clear and to the point about how he’s feeling. A+, no notes.”

I’ve written what is possibly the most unprogressive progressive dialogue ever written.
Okay, it probably doesn’t take that trophy, nor do I want that trophy—who knows what horrible sentence deserves THAT trophy—but I gave in to the whims of hyperbole.

Wait, so… “was” is not only a verb, but it’s a form of “be”?
“What did you think was was?”
I DIDN’T THINK ABOUT WHAT WAS WAS! WAS WAS WAS!

The biggest example I have of dropping the ball in my novel's first chapter is that I said a character could do something
Past me, you had an opportunity to SHOW them doing that well before then! Just take the time and do it!
Not that show not tell is king it's actually misleading advice but still

I see "AI"—when actually working as intended—as potentially screwing us over dopamine-wise with two possible extremes.
1 - Things are just sort of... Done. There's no satisfaction or triumph. It's boring.
2 - Things are rapidly generated for fun, and one basically burns through their dopamine 😬

What if Midoriya from My Hero Academia and Maomao from My Apothecary Diaries switched places? (Green haired with freckles swap)
Also, for plot reasons related to The Apothecary Diaries, Midoriya is a girl (sorry, Midoriya! For actual plot reasons, the question doesn’t go anywhere if you‘re not!).

The Amazing Digital Circus: I continue to be fascinated by people assuming the protagonists had complete amnesia when all the pilot said about that was they forgot their names.
It’s one of those things in which people extrapolate, generalize, and/or simplify to the point of getting it wrong.

“Dang, I’m putting too much book in my book. What if the people who bought the book don’t like reading?”
I’m hereby using the prologue of The Lord of The Rings as my “it’s a bit much” metric.
Also, fir goodness sake, I WILL EDIT LATER

Something I’ve realized is I’ve been conditioned to try and rush through prose. This is because I’ve been conditioned to try and keep exposition short in comic form (seriously, I am trying, my comic’s just convoluted), but prose isn’t the same. Pacing still matters, but you can go on a bit, too.

Out of curiosity, I searched Supermarket Simulator on Youtube after someone mentioned they’d played an embarrassing amount of it.
I then discovered a 43 episode Game Grumps playlist with each episode roughly 30-50 minutes long.
I know simulator games get streamed, but… What???
