the age differences in the critical role cast are funny because you have matthew mercer (b. 1982) and marisha ray (b. 1989), both of which are young (comparatively) enough to lived through the fourth and fifth console generations and are fully locked into how how early 2000s and 2010s gaming worked, what the latest consoles are now, and matt even used to be a QA tester on video games.

and then we've got sam riegel (b. 1976), who probably last touched an arcade cabinet in 1993, trying to play super smash brothers ultimate:

#🍃#critical role #critrole #cr cast #sam riegel #i specify generations bc sam is very BLATANTLY holding his pro controller like it's a second generation controller #or the setup on an arcade machine which had a joystick and buttons #i also noticed that liam and laura (b. 1977 and b. 1981) both are really good with computer gaming which makes sense #and tal usually needs matt or liam to help him out with the newer console games that they show off on the channel

CAESAR AUGUSTUS AND MARCUS LICINIUS CRASSUS

this is about the spolia opima that crassus was robbed of lmao. like, yeah okay octavian could've asked him not to claim it, but nevertheless. a kind of theft happened there.

Fact and Fiction: Crassus, Augustus, and the Spolia Opima, Catherine McPherson

#this is one from the vaults I started a few months ago and finally finished. it’s always the furniture details that put things on hold lmao #the former co consuls are fightinggggg (?)#rome is built on top of other people. this is about both the imperialism-slavery machine and the way that all these guys would #politically devour their own generation to sit on a throne. etc. anyway. octavian specifically sits on a throne of other people’s #accomplishments. that’s a specific kind of debt to carry around your neck. or theft depending on who is doing what #this was theft. anything involving Agrippa was a gift so there’s an obligation to succeed which is it’s own kind of currency so to speak #sugghrhfh. every crassus always has to be like this. in my heart i always root for whoever decides to go up against rome #and then i'm stuck with the guy who should've got a spolia opima like. congrats on your win. i guess. i think. RIP.#ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT. while im talking about this crassus. domina fucking sucks. what an absolute clusterfuck of a show #anyway. if anyone ever does augustan age politics again. octavia would be a great character if you want to invent shit #but also more importantly octavian should seduce crassus for this. thank you.#octavian #marcus licinius crassus.....christ how do i write down that he's the grandson of my crassus. i'll figure it out later #roman empire tag #drawing tag

i've seen the joke about the combination shopping mall and war outpost, but in my heart deep space nine is more huge-international-airport than standard-shopping-mall. i have a lot of reasons for this but just know i am correct

#ds9 #maybe the vegas airport for quark rights. there's just slot machines all over that place #granted i've been thinking about airports a lot recently in general so i may be biased #i also work in a mall i am an authority on this #ds9 the station itself

im so sorry professor layton tag but i need to go crazy. i can make that middle aged british professor objectum about his car

ITS ALWAYS DESCRIBED AS HIS PRIDE AND JOY..... he takes such good care of it.... beautiful... snug... perfect.... also in unwound future when he saw it in a state of disrepair in future london he was so distraught 😭😭

LUKE IS ALWAYS SO MEAN ABOUT IT TOO 💔💔!!!! and he always gets so upset like in curious village when luke implied no one would want it layton was like "😐just what do you mean by that luke"

also i know the layton manga isnt entirely canon but im choosing to believe it is for my sick and twisted freak objectum purposes (translation by @/laytonmanga) you gotta believe me guys he loves his funny car OKAY im done 🛌🛌💤💤

#nervous to post this one.....#professor layton #hershel layton #objectum #techum #ALSO!!! just headcanon but i think he also would really love different kinds of machinery #i like to believe hes very fascinated by the tech that don paolo and descole create.....#and hes very mechanically inclined in general like #he was able to build an entire machine gun out of broken slot machine parts #hes autistic and objectum to me. he loves him his machine.......#im sorry imjust projectinf now #hes like me if i was smart #okay im actually done now

on one hand, nobody is entitled to ai generated art because their disability prevents them from making it, because As It Stands Now, ai models are built off stolen artwork. there is not a SINGLE (publicly available at least) ai model trained off art that was willingly given to the model by the artist, and using the current models only helps exasperate this problem

on the other hand going "well i/this famous artist was disabled and THEY figured out how to make art, so its condescending to say that some disabled people CANT make art, and if ur disabled just figure it out :)" is the kind of rhetoric that time and time again hurts disabled people wrt the "well if THEY can do it, so can YOU" false dichotomy and really should not be used to make your point

& i say this as a disabled artist who absolutely does not like ai art, ESPECIALLY used in a commercial sphere. on paper it would be a fun Fucking Around Machine (esp if there was a bot trained on consentually aquired art) but capitalism requires every last scrap of revenue be squeezed out of anything like blood from a stone so we cant just have a fun thing to have a fun thing and we have shit things like it being a threat to peoples' liveliehoods and training it to mimic dead artists. and we cant really have the fun part without feeding into the bad part. what im saying is its a shame also maybe bootstrap theory is not good

#i will say i know of TWO really cool applications of ai generated stuff #1) before fhe whole ai thing took off an indie artist got an ai thing to generate some song lyrics #they then took the lyrics and played around w em #and made music around it and used a vocaloid to sing it #2) dude trained an ai model on his own art (makeup for ball jointed dolls) and got it to generate some faces #then painted his interpertation of its interpertation of his work #commentating on how the machine interperted parts of his dtyle #they both work imo bcos theres a very human aspect to it still #wrt the making of the whole resr of the song and the making of all the faces given to the model #and the painting of the genersted one #anyway this is what i thinj on the matter #ai art sucks dont use it. ive been tempted but i havent #but also that argument you hate suddenly doesnt become valid when yr the one weilding it

Sonic: According to the footage here, you shook the vending machine and when the shake alarm went off, you punched the glass and broke it.

Shadow: ...I was hungry.

Data gets taken advantage of by a visiting Starfleet officer

#tw noncon #tw rape #tw forced #tw abuse of authority #data #star trek #st tng #the next generation #love to think of data not knowing what to think or how to process an assault #feeling like he shouldnt care because he cant be assaulted #how does one 'rape' a machine?#but also very genuinely feeling so violated by it that he has trouble functioning properly #out of left field i kno #but ive been on a tng binge so of course data has to suffer for it.

If haboob got a new puppet in the off the string au would she make it sand proof? (No gaps around joints for sand to get stuck in)

excuse her, her puppet is just a touchy subject. the structure is the one with the sand problem, the puppet is more than fine

#spot says stuff #rw #oc tag #to the no heart part → reminder that Gen 3s have Way way less organic tissue in them than the other generations #and are meant to be skeletal/unnatural because of bigger industrialization of things at large. puppets arent that important for-#-interaction later on so they are gettin smaller and more hostile looking. since they rarely use their legs the question of if the spine-#-can hold up the torso is kinda redundant. but they also have 'belly padding' in the clothes that helps with the support im thinkin now 🤔#Haboob's puppet upgrade journey made her even less organic. she isnt even covered in modified Ancient skin anymore #she doesnt count Hivemind members as organics too btw so to her fleshies are Neat but you keep all that organ business to urself #fuckin... haboob with clothes on → baby!!!! my babyyyy!! | haboob without clothes on → this machine could kill me and honestly might.

Carlos fans in my inbox: fake fan. we don't want you.

Charles fans in my inbox: just admit you hate charles. don't know why you pretend to like him.

Me, a fan of both Charles & Carlos, trying to have fun while watching a sport that has politics and unfairness and nepotism and money entrenched in its legacy: anyway...isn't it crazy how those two literally fcked on live television yesterday? damn...

#😅#can't we all just...get along?#some of yall forget you're talking to a human with feelings and not a machine that generates gifs of your favs for you #just bc i never post these hateful anons doesn't mean they don't exist #and i think ignoring that it's happening is also not the way to handle it all the time #at least i share what i think on my blog and not anonymously in the inboxes of ppl i don't like 🤨#anyway this post is a joke hehe haha but also 🙃

"Dear Henry,

It seems like a lifetime since we worked on cartoons together. 30 years really slip away, doesn't it? If you're back in town, come visit the old workshop. There's something I need to show you.

Your best pal, Joey Drew"

Let's go back... To the BEGINNING.

-----

Backgrounds will still be the end of me lol. I managed to finish this in time, YAY. (It's still February 10th where I live) I didn't have many ideas for what to do for the birthday so I decided to redrawn Ink Bendy's jumpscare from the alpha version of chapter 1. A classic scene, I would say.

To say it was simple times back then would be an understatement. Those were very, very, VERY simple times when chapter 1 launched. The workshop was smaller, the Ink Machine was tiny, Boris didn't look like Boris and the Lord of the Dark Puddles... was just a bird poop with a smile. But look where we are now! The game was completed, we had a sequel a while ago, some spin-offs over the years, several books, and we just had the announcement that the little devil is going to the big screen!

Bendy has come a long way since then, despite what I would call a turbulent journey at the same time. But despite these turbulent times, I would still say that it has been great to follow Bendy since then. It's a franchise that left a lasting impression on me, and with what we know about what's to come, it's safe to say that I'll still be here following the dancing demon for a good time.

Happy birthday Bendy! Very excited for your future. After all, 7 years and we still have a lot to see yet.

(Oh and, even though I don't have anything specific for that yet, happy anniversary Boris and the Dark Survival! You're a nice game and I still hope you get updated again one day lol)

#batim #bendy and the ink machine #batdr #bendy the dancing demon #the ink demon #alpha bendy #ink bendy #henry stein #kinda #for this specific drawing I decided not to use his canon design #or even my fanon design #the drawing in general is something based only on the Alpha from chapter 1 #based on the past and only the past #So I decided not to put something from the future in this drawing;if you know what I mean?#Also my fanon design didn't exist at the time either so I decided not to use it this time #crookedsmileart #also; I think I exaggerated on the background since in the end I blurred it to give an idea of depth; work done for nothing lmaoooo

worst thing about computer science classes is hearing teachers defending generative AI

#qrevo.txt #no i don't think a machine painting things based on prompts is good for society actually <3 #or a machine generating websites and code #ALSO IT NEVER CODES ANYTHING RIGHT!!#the only code a generative ai can do is the most basic shit you can learn on w3schools in 5 minutes #besides. you are supposed to teach about technology and its ethics on society. THAT'S THE CLASS YOU'RE LECTURING #i can see people defending ai on technical grounds. BUT YOU ARE GIVING A CLASS ABOUT. ETHICS

did someone accidentally leave the prompt in this machine-generated webpage on maqluba......

#lmfao??#also this reminds me of the Twitter thread where someone took a machine-generated image #and actually analyzed it the way you would analyze art #and pointed out the Orientalist tropes used--which had to come from somewhere #for this to be machine-generated and also extremely Orientalist in tone is actually fascinating
