I need to channel my inner Pole

ngl hearing western leftists talk about Eastern Europe is disheartening.
Like we're just lines on a map for their multipolar world.
There's an impuls to give a big FU, but it's only going to make everyone (including me) more hateful.
How can one make people see humanity in them?

I found a consistent setup to get the small window - I have to line up both X buttons and double-click really fast. It's not permanent, the next one after that will be big again.

I'm about to invent a whole new type of superstition about that window

There is a misconception about video games that AAA is pronounced as triple-A, it's actually AAAH!!

Sailor Moon had some weird morals

Usagi, crying and flailing her arms: "NOOOOO I'M SO FAT!! I GOTTA STARVE MYSELF"

Motoki with a concerned expression, his hand on Usagi's shoulder: "I think you have an eating disorder... also being fat is fine"
Usagi, wide-eyed and lovestruck: "OKAY YAY ❤️"

Luna, standing by Usagi's leg and smiling: "Nah. Fuck that. You're fat and ugly and that makes you worth less as a person"

Microsoft also totally forgot about it.
If you look at the default icons that are available, they're literally the same as they were for WinXP.

The best use I've found is making games folder on desktop with a controller icon - desktop isn't cluttered and it doesn't look like a random folder.

Remember when a while back there was that post going around about how free online file converters exist just to steal your files?
I hope it's true, because that means someone had to look at this icon.

A reminder that you can change icons of your folders in Windows.
You'll have to convert .png to .ico though.
I like to put the .ico file inside the same folder it is used for and then hiding it - then I can forget about it.

Yeah, but it's apparently called 3.0 + 1.0 because math is exactly what I want in my movie titles. Can't wait for the next one: Evangelion √25

Arthur Vyater @arthurvyater.bsky.social · Aug 25

If they released the 5th one, would it be called something like Evangelion: √(3.0³ - √4.0) 🤔

Arthur Vyater @arthurvyater.bsky.social · Aug 25

How did I only now learn that there is Evangelion 4.0?

I storyboarded a fan anime opening for my favorite childhood game, megaman legends /ロックマンDASH I wanted to animate the whole thing, but that’s way too much effort. Did it in a way where I can fulfill that childhood dream and move on. Maybe one day I'll form a MAP project out of this!

If I was a teacher, on this assignment you'd see:

C-
I'm not convinced you've ever said "My views and NYT's views align quite a lot"

(I'm that substitute teacher (possibly hung-over) that doesn't even know their students)

STOP!
This is media hygiene evaluation checkpoint

Think of an information source that generally aligns with your beliefs, but you no longer listen to because they repeatedly
a) posted easily verifiable disinformation
b) predictions of near future were way off

If you can't name one: you've failed
