@sandwich i guess you could say that berries then is getting pretty
gen-trified?

a couple days ago it took me hours of going "man my feet are cold but the rest of me isn't! i wish there was a blanket but just for my feet, not for my whole legs" to remember that
socks exist
and then i forgot And Then Did The Same Thing The Next Day, though it only took me 30 minutes to remember socks existed so my turnaround is better i guess?
@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz honestly, i would go with option two. i've done option one before but like, approaching them as another artist here to "talk shop" and with added pep talk of "believe in the me who believes in youuu!!!!". as a customer, i can guarantee that it will have a HUGE impact on them if you then go "hey, here's my payment, yeah i tipped 100% but your art is so worth it and you should consider raising your prices! you deserve it!".
@k i'm unsure since i haven't ordered any myself, but honestly i've been very pleased with other stuff i've gotten off aliexpress. they usually surpass the quality i'm expecting. for three bucks it's not going to come and make you breakfast in bed, mind, but if you then lose your sunglasses somewhere, you're out 3 bucks instead of 30 LOL
@k don't get them
...
from there. you may as well cut out the middleman seller and get them direct for a much better price https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=200000621&initiative_id=AS_20190419145232&SearchText=pixel+sunglasses
potentially 🌶️ opinion:
a lot of vocaloid songs are kind of a flop in my eyes, because the best ones are songs that are aware that - while technically impressive - vocaloid singing still exists in uncanny valley
the best songs often work with this and lean into more of an electronica vibe, or are built around lyrics/a mood that is enhanced by this uncanny quality (like Meltdown, which is really grim lyrics-wise and exists as an exercise in the junction between lyrical meaning and upbeat song)
this is not going on my Extremely Powerful Playlist of music to play while doing a video game, but it's still a bop
"tropical house" remix of a splat2n song, nice and summery
@maidofclay "Pēdīcābō et irrumābō vos" almost looks dignified until somebody asks what it means, too
CATULLUS, EVERYBODY.
like i said. you can probably find that on youtube in the comment section lmfao
no really, here's catullus 16 in modern vernacular to show you it's basically a youtube comment (warning: it's nsfw, catullus was awful)
(cont'd)
In fact, my poems have real fire and flow,
sure, they're lovey and more than a little sexy -
they'll turn you on, and I don't mean in just horny teenagers,
but in those hairy old dudes that have to chug viagra the rest of the time.
Because you've read about my countless hookups, you think I ain't a man?
I'm gonna facefuck and assfuck you.

Pēdīcābō ego vōs et irrumābō, aka
I'm gonna facefuck and assfuck you,
Aurelius you twink and fuckboi Furius,
and all y'all who think that just 'cause my poems are lovey-dovey
that I should be ashamed of them.
Sure, a poet can be all straight edge and uptight,
but his poems don't gotta be in any way. >
i actually have enormous fondness for catullus 16 not because i think it's good poetry, but because it's that type of delightful moment of history i love so much where you just go "look! humans is the same!"
if you translate it into more modern vernacular honestly it would read exactly like an angry youtube comment
oh god now i just imagined a big dramatic boss fight with an ominous chorus chanting latin in the back except it's catullus 16 and i'm fucking dying. how do i get in contact with whoever writes and produces devil may cry, i feel like they need to do that
note: this is catullus 16. it is nsfw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catullus_16
@LANthus if you poke any given word you can probably hear william whittaker's words sobbing in absolute horror
especially because machine translating latin will pull your vocab from Every Fucking Place, which means you get into the wild and wacky world of "if you put this back in the oven for another couple hundred years it'll be italian lol" medieval latin
anyway we all know the true stylish way to do it is to just use latin poetry verbatim, specifically catullus 16
