Star Trek the motion picture has the absolute widest gap between the visual effects / technical designs and the interior / costume designs

This is an implacable differential. An uncrossable chasm. An entire universe apart in quality

Actually that reply was asking for trouble and in someone else's replies. Deleted

(but someone was asking a question about a particular, specific piece of specialist knowledge, a reply went "have you tried chatgpt?" and I went "or scrying, have you tried scrying?" because I was in a mood)

I hate every box I see
From Xbox One to 360
No you'll never stop me playing on PC
Oh my god! I was wrong
It was an Xbox all along

One of my absolute favorite things about Home Alone is how the setups and payoffs are so airtight that 90% of criticism of the movie is invalidated by just paying fucking attention to the movie. They literally don't write scripts like this anymore.

I didn't even know there was a sequel coming but! what matters is that everyone should play Tangle Tower immediately.

Tangle Tower is a peak intersection of the Ace Attorney / Visual Novel / Cozy genres, it's somehow wonderfully forgiving yet still challenging and simply a joy to watch and listen!
Still working night and day on The Mermaid Mask. I've never worked so hard or for so long on anything! Apologies again, about being so quiet for so long. It's been a real 'head down working' kind of year.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

I have seen how hetero male artists draw women versus how lesbian artists draw women and dudes, we do not deserve women

TIL that there's a Ralph Wolf (not wile e coyote) Metal Gear solid inspired stealth action game for the PS1 named "sheep raider" as a deliberate tomb raider pastiche and, against everything I just said, was critically well received

just figured @fartsjohnson.bsky.social should know

wife texted that she came home to a horrible smell and found that our giant dog took a giant dump on the rug in the kids' room upstairs

and we both shared immense pride in the dog that, in a home full of white carpeting, climbed stairs to crap on the most washable rug we own

I *will* praise this

Everyone who said Kat was an unserious candidate was wrong
NEW IL-09 poll with the Justice Coalition Action: Daniel Biss and Kat Abughazaleh are tied for first in the Democratic primary with 18% of the vote.

Laura Fine trails in third with 10%, and all other candidates receive 6% or less of the vote.
