It might be worth it to consider what tone you, yourself, are placing on the text you’re reading. Words being spoken in anger or not will look exactly the same when they’re written down.

Digital magic.

My dad and uncles made home videos on a 8mm camera doing this trick when they were teenagers, so it must be pretty easy even without a computer.

One thing I know is if the background doesn’t change, you can basically film one character’s part in the scene, then re-expose the film to do the next character’s and so on.

I will be 40 in February. I read daily. But what I read daily is this shit. Posts and comments. Memes and news articles. Maybe someone’s fanfic on Tumblr.

Been getting into furry focused visual novels after getting bored and checking out Adastra since I had heard of it years ago and never actually played it, and I just haven’t been able to get enough of Howlie’s work since (finish The Smoke Room so you can get back on Khemia, please! 😩)

I like sci-fi and romance. Adastra was both and has been the best fucking thing I’ve ever read.

I haven’t read an honest to God book since Ready Player One initially came out.

So… A game that actually isn’t my favorite, just the favorite amongst things that I’ve never seen mentioned anywhere?

Shit… Even the most obscure games I know about, I know about because someone else mentioned them.

I guess I’ll have to go with Fightin’ Herds? It’s one of the few games I have that I bought entirely on the screenshots from the store page and I’ve never seen anyone mentioned it ever. In the simplest explanation: It’s a 2D side scrolling fighting game with animal characters designed by Lauren Faust (the creator of MLP: Friendship is Magic). It’s not a very good game. It’s extremely cheap and unfair, like way more than any other fighting game I’ve played. The adventure mode is also kinda shit because it takes the already bad fighting mechanics and makes you do platforming and Smash Bros style horde fights against multiple opponents and the controls just aren’t really designed for that shit (up is jump and it doesn’t like you trying to jump forward so making what looks like an easy jump is harder than it has to be). I haven’t even gotten 25% through the story mode :(

Actually… Matt Muscle should be told about this pile of dogshit for his Worst Fighting Game Ever series… 🤔

I use it all the time. Dump dishes into trash, rinse everything that sticks off in sink, grind up all the food bits from that in the disposal, put dishes in dish washer.

It’s only gonna get gross and smelly under your sink if something is wrong with the disposal. And if you’re not throwing a shit ton of garbage down it, just the little bits that wash off when doing dishes, it’s not likely to break or get clogged.

They didn’t have a dress code, so we ate there. Pretty decent steakhouse; prices were a bit higher than, like, a Texas Roadhouse, but not as high as an Outback. I remember the baked potato was fucking enormous and they were all you could eat. But you probably wouldn’t even finish 1 because it was fuckin’ gigantic.

I wish I knew its name. They didn’t have a name on the menu, anywhere inside or on the outside. Literally the only thing even marking it as a restaurant was the little sign pointing into the alley that just said “steakhouse.” It’s like a sweet little secret.

Years ago my dad took me with him to a business trip in downtown LA. He finished his meeting and we wanted some dinner so started looking around for somewhere to eat. It was in the financial district though, and by 5 or 6 every fast food place around was already closed (which is still weird to me). We were about to give up and go back to our hotel and just get room service until we saw a plain ass sign pointing down an alley that just said “steakhouse.” So we followed it into the alley, down some stairs into a sketchy looking basement door that led us into the fanciest fucking restaurant I have ever been in.

Shit was straight out of a movie. The waiters had tuxedos. Everything was finished in nice looking wood, silver or gold. They had an actual maitre d! We immediately felt under dressed and had to ask if there was a dress code.

licks his dog, loudly

Umbrella Corp.

Or possibly Conglomo (from Rocko’s Modern Life). They own everything and are run by two dip shits.

It’s a fantasy. If you lived in Hollowoodland where everyone is beautiful, wouldn’t you want them all to be in their underwear, sweat glistening on their bare skin, getting all hot and bothered? It sure would beat the reality where everyone is ugly, fully clothed and just wants to get the fuck outta there ASAP.

Anyone still left on Reddit is either too ignorant about the alternatives to Reddit to even have an opinion or is actively trying to keep people on Reddit for Reddit.

As more of an outside observer here:

When I was still using Reddit, it looked like most people in that community were just running personal home media servers using basic as fuck raspberry pi setups or just old hardware that could handle it, like maybe a modded Xbox or something.

Here on Lemmy, it looks more like you’re all actual networking specialists hosting damn near everything from home automation to business-level server systems for your home business. You guys are serious; Reddit isn’t. Respect.

The woods, at night, near a creek or river that also doesn’t have a ton of frogs. IDK why, really. It’s just the kind of place I always think of when I think about where I want to be.

Isn’t Lemmy.World based in the US?

Edit: huh. Netherlands.

I’ve always wanted to visit Japan, but I dunno if I’d wanna live there.

Maybe one of the Scandinavian countries.

I’ve had vote by mail my entire life (well, of voting age anyway). So 0.

You can always disappear in the Outer Rim.

KMS so they don’t get the satisfaction of doing it.
