Me: walking into the elevator after a 'quick run' to Whole Foods for some essentials that ended up way more money than it really needed to be.

Someone walking out of the elevator, almost as if perfectly timed for entrance into the store: "And it feels good to not be so *wasteful*."

You get cursed to literally see the truth.

This ruins all modern media. Every digital manipulation is transparent. You can no longer see CGI. Anything shot with a green screen, you see only the people and the green screen itself. Any motion capture rig you just see instead of the character it represents.

Animation is an almost entirely blank screen. Oddly enough, though, older traditional animation (sequential photographs of cels) work just fine.

Practical special effects still work, so for example the original versions of the Star Wars films are good, but the prequels and even sequels are almost unwatchable. Rotoscoping still seems okay.

You become an expert on films shot in the 80s on back.

@zebratron2084 Which furries have been doing for a long time, yeah. :-P

@Soreth @zebratron2084 Look, you'll do just fine, as long as you leave that bastard Westphall out of it.

@Felthry Yeah, agreed. I use text emoiticons as punctuation a lot, but for emojis proper, they're more like... seasoning. Don't need a lot, but it also is not a substitute, more of a flavoring.

I've seen like... 5 or 6 different iterations of it. Though counting it is difficult, as it's been over something like 12 years I've been around bits of it?

And yeah, one branch of it has been converging in Seattle for most of a decade. But there's whole other chunks that exist online, too.

I did a set last night for furries to dance to! And I recorded it!
Here's the link if you want listen! :-)
