@arakin damnit cannot unsee now that you say that.
Anyway, please let me know what you think of the new game?
@chimerror it IS kinda weird that it's a black/white dichotomy. You'd figure a warning/safety thing would be a redlist/greenlist logically.
@topaz Both really, kittens are just so cute, but they're also so vulnerable, and life can be really unpleasant whether it ends too soon or and after a long while; I worry about how bad things could maybe get for them.
@growlbeast Thanks! I'm gonna just soak in that compliment for a bit.
@Chip_Unicorn Thanks! I'm definitely having one of those days when I'm like OOOH PORTRAIT/CARICATURE and then I'm kinda not so great for the rest of the figures (there was a second page which wasn't as good), so I think tomorrow's deal is gonna be portrait heads.
@chimerror If you really want a neat read about this stuff, Talking Animals and Other People by the late great Shamus Culhane is worth it (even if the part I remember best is that for a while Fleischer Studios was next to a brothel, and both businesses would routinely close for the employees' poker night).
@chimerror You'll excuse the hyperfixation;
Most animators bounced between Warner, Disney and the Fleischers but Disney intentionally cranked out Silly Symphonies to work on/test out stuff as prep for "Disney's Folly," a feature length animated film nobody expected to work. Then in 1948, there was a huge strike at Disney, which Uncle Walt took like you'd expect, and lots of animators split for WB, which is why pre-1948 Looney Tunes stuff is eh fairly okay and then suddenly it's sheer genius.
I think almost the most hilarious thing about Lovecraft is how he became famous by NOT becoming famous. He was only kinda sorta a name as a pulp author, so when people were casting around for stuff to reprint for GIs a few years after his death, HPL's stuff was cheap, and after the war there was lots of it around. Suddenly a much broader audience was reading Lovecraft's work and going "hey actually this is pretty good."
@ziphi he has only one tusk because he broke off the other to use as a pen so he could transcribe the Mahabharata.
@ziphi You know about the mythology about Ganesa using one of his own tusks as a pen?
@herzmut captain for a moment I thought I saw a scout-class WESSEL
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
