It’s funny how recognizing AI art nowadays is just the same old rules as recognizing the fae in old tales.

“Count the fingers, count the knuckles, count the teeth, check the shadows…”

… and under NO circumstances should you make deals with their kind.

Child who grows up using computers, learns backslashes cause the next thing to not be interpreted, and starts writing backslashes before words in messages to adults if she is trying to keep them from noticing certain information

Like there's a lot of things you can say about CLI interfaces, such as "they're bad", but at least *usually* when the instructions say "type fkdr -fdd 3 -- -f -s -d -o" the way that you do that is you type those actual letters in that order and you don't have to find the secret inner CLI to type them into

Obscure Star Trek texts I would be into: a keynote from a Vulcan academic conference on the cultural history of their bangs; promotional materials from a Bajoran jewelers' convention; a textile swatch collection from Garak's shop.

@foone ah yes, Piss-VGA, an obscure and mercifully obsolete standard of the early 1990s, not to be confused with Shit-SCSI or the dreaded JizzUSB, which was quietly buried in its developer's backyard

The final stage in Ungrateful Birds: Call of the Desert does something with the systems I designed that doesn't feel like I should have been able to, and that it absolutely was not designed to accommodate, and I'm really pleased with myself for pulling it off.

Alternate universe where the '90s trend for calling things "bad", "sick" or "rude" never ended and now we compliment each other's shoes by calling them "catastrophic" and "fundamentally misaligned with my values"

@arcadiagt5 it's weird realizing how much we take for granted these days such simple things as "the voice actors being coached on proper pronunciation"

Yu Yu Hakusho is another classic (casual transphobia in one episode aside) but it was startling noticing on a rewatch just how bad the pronunciations were

the Dark Tournament arc is particularly noticeable in this regard

@arcadiagt5 it's been standing up pretty well to a first watch, though i'm only up to the end of the Black Rose Duelists story

the dub is hit or miss as you'd expect from a '90s product; pronunciations are all over the place, but the standout offender is whoever they got to voice Nanami, which AnimeNewsNetwork.com suggests only had one other voice role, one of the Gym Leaders from Pokemon

fortunately the old-timey dub issues aren't enough to deter it from being an enjoyable ride

#watercolour #watercolor #aquarelle #landscape #painting #art Couldn’t sleep so I made a midnight painting in three layers. 1: A wash of Phthalo Blue GS. 2: Trees and islands in Phthalo + Burnt Sienna, then sprayed lightly with water. 3: More trees and islands in Phthalo and Burnt Sienna. It was fun, and I found that Phthalo + Burnt Sienna make an interesting green.
