Art is dead, and AI is dancing on, teabagging, and having an entire affair with its corpse simultaneously.

If this guy is in data and still experiencing feelings and hopes and dreams, there’s no reason to assume data doesn’t

Guys, idk about anyone else but I'm starting to suspect the reason why Zahard was angry at Arlene and his motivations as a character might be a bit more layered than simply having his proposal rejected...🤔 Almost like his choices might be based on his ideals and not simply love triangle drama and the greatest war in the history of the Tower, kickstarted by V and Arlene, might have tarnished his proudest accomplishment and goal.

i think one of the worst things about covid risk in recent years is the dropping of most real data kept about its risk and spread so it’s harder and harder to see what’s actually going on in the country and how to keep yourself safe. i think wastewater is the only real tracker of it these days and i’m always worried that one day they’ll just stop doing it to make the graphs look prettier -_- just this manufactured image of safety…

Well I gave my roommate $100 today to get the internet back on but now they're saying they want another $200 to reactivate it despite it being their issue. The reason we didn't pay right away was because they fucked up and put us on the wrong plan. Told us it was $300 so we called and they said they'd fix our billing (cause out bill is suppose to be around $105 they never fixed it despite us yelling about it. Then they suspended our account and then my roommate called them this morning to get it sorted and they said "TwO hUnDrEaD t0 rEaCtIvATe" for a fuck up caused by you ass clowns??? Nice. (You as in the internet company)

Okay so! If you actually open your eyes and read the wiki you can see that these two have a familial relationship. You don't ship two people who have a confirmed familial relationship unless you're incest lover/proshipper. That's it. It's that easy. And don't bring up some kind of lore that doesn't make sense due to the game being in the alpha phase. Again, the wiki EXPLICITLY says Pwnatious sees Carnage as a parental figure. Thanks!

The wiki also says that Pwnatious had a nanny and Carnage as a caretaker came later. Carnage wasn’t Pwnatious’s primary caregiver.

Also even if it is confirmed in the Wiki, I think Pwnatious seeing Carnage as a familial figure is fucking stupid as hell.

(Long rant past this point)

First of all, Pwnatious would most likely see Carnage as an object of some kind. It’s a robotic bodyguard. It’s beneath them.

Secondly, when was Carnage created? To be generous, let’s assume that Omegas were the first biograft models to be created, and the whole “Biografts were invented 3 years ago” exclusively refers to Zeta biografts (the in-game ones).

The development of the original Omegagraft likely would’ve taken multiple years. Its AI is complex as shit considering it was able to develop a personality, and its body is massive and moves like a regular inphernal’s. Any Omegas after the first could just be copied from it, but the original planning, coding, and building of the first would take a hell of a lot of time.

The number of years between Medkit and Subspace’s incident and the present Phighting day I see most often is 10 years. At the time of the incident, Subspace would be 20 and Pwn would be 18.

For the sake of argument, let’s assume the crystal research took place over 1 year, Carnage was one of the first Omegagrafts ever created, and the original Omegagrafts were designed, created, tested, and released to the market over the span of 3* years.

Under this model, if Omegagrafts were created before the incident, Subspace started developing them at 16, finished them at 19, and Carnage was given to Pwn when they were 17. If Omegas were made immediately** after the incident, Subspace started them at 20, finished them at 23, and Carnage was given to Pwn when they were 20. 17 already feels too old for Pwn to be actively developing a hard parental with a brand new*** Carnage, much less 20. I don’t doubt they’d feel some kind of close bond to it, considering Carnage’d be like. The second thing to show some sort of care and protectiveness over them. But I doubt it’d be as strong as seeing Carnage as an actual parent.

*’ Incredibly generous assumption btw.

** Assuming Subspace didn’t take any time to investigate his rot and at least attempt to find a cure before beginning development of the biografts

*** ‘Brand new’ meaning no personality and only having information provided at first booting up, closer resembling that of the in-game Zetagrafts

spending money on gacha games is bad for a lot of reasons but all of that aside ur either on a very deep level of denial or around the wrong social group if ur going "well i spent money on a gacha game but not for the gacha part so it doesnt count" brother u spent the money the company doesnt care which aspect ur spending it on its still a gacha game and u just said u spent the money That Counts As Spending Money On A Gacha Game

i was gonna say "i shouldn't have to go to work when my brain feels like a depression slushie" and then i was like "wait but then i'd basically never ever go to work" and i'm actually doubling down on the first part now bc my god how am i supposed to heal my brain from burning out 5 years ago if i can never get an actual break

[skydigiblogs]

also sorry to double post but i'm going to be thinking about this rewatch for a while now lmao

i know there are a lot of resources that talk about the differences between the sub and dub but i'm kind of losing my mind at how much better the build up felt for apocalymon in the sub?

like specifically that's the thing that's been sticking with me among all the other little differences here and there

i don't remember anything in the dub about distortions being a rampant issue, for instance, but they're mentioned frequently around the etemon arc (and actually i have to wonder if the dark network core was intended to be an extension of apocalymon past the wall of fire)

it's explicitly told in the sub that the dark masters even used the distortions to rise to power in the way they did, reformatting the world in the process

and like i know the ruins on file island (which prophesize apocalymon's return) are commented on during that first arc, but also, that's in both sub and dub. the whole distortion thread doesn't make it into the dub at all from my recollection

and then at the end explaining that the fairy time shit (1 mn IRL = 1 day in the digital world) as consequential of apocalymon!!!

i remember when i first watched 02 i was so confused as to how that fairy time 1 mn / 1 day thing was just gone!! that's part of what always bothered me when watching 02, because it felt like such a blatant ignoring of pre-established canon and the explanation in-dub never felt right (idr if they even explained it)

ourgh anyways

sub apocalymon may not be making jokes about their existential crisis of an existence but i still wanna give the damn mon(s?) a pizza

poor thing deserves it

do people in the sonic fandom who aren’t nerds know that eggman is probably czech (which makes sense bc the modern concept of robots was originated by a czech writer and it’s a czech word) or was baby me just really weird
