The PSP is a martyr for this but please also check any old handhelds, digital cameras, and mobile phones you have.

A PSA: If you own a PSP, check on its battery! Mine was dangerously swollen and I wouldn't've noticed if it weren't for the fact that it was SO swollen it forced the battery cover off on its own. Crisis Averted!

Swollen PSP battery from the side, the bottom is notably not flat against the table

We look at two recent(ish) robotic(ish) role-models(ish) from Marvel Legends - Death's Head and Rom: Spaceknight!

Share this one if you can because god-damn it's hard to get someone to look at a video these days.

Look, all I am saying is it wouldn’t be a stretch *at all* for the Energon Universe to link Cobra-la to Sslither and bring in the Inhumanoids that way.

CN greenlit my short "Harmony in Despair" for the CartoonCartoons Project alongside several other shorts in 2021.
I happily wrote/directed/produced the creative venture alongside several amazing talents who made this vision come to life.
The short was completed in April 2022.
One of these days, huh?

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Hey, Bluesky, I see that some of you are thinking about giving the fediverse (which Mastodon is part of) a/another try.

Instead of sharing a yet another complicated "how to get started" guide, here's a bit about who's actually on there.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

This is the woman who lost her job at @washingtonpost.com for dissing Charlie Kirk by quoting his words. I only wish I could cancel them again.
Anyways her beloved cat is sick and we all know what vet bills are like.

Artemis update:

It's been a tough time. He is still in the hospital, not eating.

A few folks have asked how they can help, so I've set up a GoFundMe to help with costs.

If you've ever loved Artemis, his gravity experiments and feel moved to help him, here's the link.

Seeing as Nightshade from Transformers: Earthspark is catching attention again, here's some of the work I did on the character. There was an earlier version of them that had been finalised and approved, but the writers wanted a new alt mode; their earlier disguise was a 'Gargoyle'!

Preliminary Concepts of the character Nightshade for the animated show: Transformers Earthspark. Some are drawings of basic body shapes for their robot mode, others are explorations of their owl alt mode

Concepts for Nightshade's head and face, trying to retain owl elements on their robot mode.

Explorations on how to make the owl wings function in robot mode, and how it would affect the figure's shapes.

The opening was pretty good! I heard they’d had something planned around the time of the Shockwave stuff that Hasbro vetoed and things got kind of derailed from there because there was no plan B.
