If your analog control requires your entire hand, it’s interesting.
If your analog control requires several pointing fingers, it’s interesting.

- Comment on Uzumaki - Episode 1 discussion 1 month ago:
One of the things I was most curious about with this series was the animation style they were choosing to use. Hiroshi Nagahama used rotoscoping to make Flowers of Evil, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. The mouth movements would have been better - they actually look pretty rough in spots here. Motion capture or vtuber tech maybe?
- Comment on "Senpai is an Otokonoko" Anime Movie Announced with New Visual, PV 1 month ago:
I’ve been following this series. Queer culture varies from region to region, so it was really tricky to watch the show without projecting the concept of a western trans identity onto the main character.
It took the full length of the first season before Makoto articulates his identity (genderqueer from what I can surmise - a man with he/him pronouns who prefers feminine presentation… mostly), with the option floated to him of being able to live “as a woman,” but with no specifics given to the cultural context of that phrase.
It would be really cool to get commentary on this show from Japanese queer folks who can speak to the language choices and cultural context behind this show.
I’m waaaay more interested in that than a movie.

Thank you for pointing out the full results; I’m a goof and I missed that.
I really think Dededede is suffering from mediocre translations. It feels like there’s a ton of subtext that isn’t making its way into the subtitles. Hopefully it’ll find its way towards a fansub community to help fill in the gaps and context clues.

The current generation of the ford mustang Mach-e has its mobile telemetry cellular antenna wired to an isolated fuse that you can just pull out to kill it. I was astonished to learn how straight forward the process is supposed to be.
- Comment on Moon Standard Time? Nasa to create lunar-centric time reference system 7 months ago:
Because there’s less gravity on the moon, time there moves a tad more quickly – 58.7 microseconds every day – compared with on Earth.
I thought time dilation was caused by bodies moving at high speeds relative to one another, not differences in gravity.

- Comment on Jeffrey Katzenberg: AI Will Take 90% of Artist Jobs on Animated Films In Just Three Years 10 months ago:
That’s a fair point. I was invoking those names as contemporary examples of that caliber of creator. I feel like we’re always going to have a rolling cadre of seasoned top tier talent with the clout to make “we’re doing it THIS WAY” choices. I like Masaaki Yuasa for the next generation of those folks (even if he never really makes anything else himself anymore and just and guides Science Saru).

Read the article.
Machine learning and interpretative output are tools; just like the automobile, the spreadsheet and photoshop.
The introduction of new tools means there will be fewer people manually doing the things that machines can do more efficiently. The introduction of digital spreadsheets decimated the market for paper bookkeepers, but the need for accountants (people who could utilize the new tools) exploded.
I don’t know enough about modern animation production to speak authoritatively about this, but I’m imagining Katzenberg is talking about jobs like inbetweeners and other kinds of admittedly skilled labor that can be lazily farted out by machines. No QA for lazy productions, QA and varying levels of tweaks for high production value work, and all-by-hand for only the most rare auteur works.
What this also means is that money will stop flowing to high-manual-effort works. The real creative, ground breaking stuff is going to come from either people utilizing the new tools in new ways, or old established artists who refuse to change (Miyazaki, Bill Plympton, Yuri Norstein & Francheska Yarbusova, etc).

Either a deviated septum or nasal polyps.
Depending on how the original poster gets their health care (either by referral or direct outreach), they will want to find a good Otolaryngologist.
I had the same issue. The problem got so bad that I temporarily lost my ability to smell. Two surgeries later and I’m a-ok.
