Superman was easily my favorite superhero movie of the year, but goddddddd I need to rewatch Fantastic Four.
I freaking loved when I saw it at the theater. 2/3 MCU films this year were legit bangers.

Super busy with freelance at the moment, so not a lot of time for personal work. 😭 I wanted to draw a Sakura entry for the SF6 New Challenger contest, as a protest, but I just don't have time. So here's the last pic of Sakura I drew that I love. 💜✨

The producers pushing AI dubs are *absolutely* gonna try again. The tech will improve. It will be important for fans to make their voices heard when--not if--but *when* that happens.
As this video says, it'll be important for us to tell AI, "Stay in your lane."

Once more thinking about how it's crucial to the story of A Christmas Carol that Ebenezer Scrooge was at his core, a decent guy who had a hard life, and was worthy of being redeemed. And even at his worst, he never cheated his employees and did what he did within the laws of the land.

God, if there's any game I want to get GameShare support on S2, it's this, and I'm not even joking.
It's such a fun, unserious racing game. There had been talk of an online update, years ago, but uh... clearly that never materialized.

I'm seeing a lot of the same take of "you should have negotiated a better contract" and people need to understand that most don't have the option.
Marvel/Disney would just hire someone else they can underpay and exploit instead. That's how they operate...

Like I love Nintendo Land for the Wii U as much as the next guy (frankly, probably more than them. Game rules), and towards the end of year 1 we got Wonderful 101, but the first year of the Wii U was genuinely abysmal.
It is wild how much some people just don't want to admit S2 is doing well.

No joke, I've wondered for years why they dropped that term. I still have one of the Nindies shirts from PAX, back when Nintendo would have like a whole room set aside specifically for indie demoes.
Nintendo dropped the "Nindies" term due to legal worries:

God, it's wild how little of that movie I even processed when I watched it.
Granted it was Christmas, my back was *messed up* at the time and I was absolutely not able to focus on the movie, but I didn't really come to terms with just *how* bad it was until, like, a month later.
It's real bad.

every now and then i think about how wonder woman 1984 didn't NEED to do the "diana has sex with steve trevor possessing some stranger's body" thing. like. the movie involves a magic rock that grants wishes. they could just wish steve back to life in his own body. they didn't have to do all. that

This is not to take anything away from Sara Pichelli, but just a reminder that no matter how cool the characters are or how many great stories we get from them, Marvel and DC inherently don't give a fuck about their creators and treating them properly.
