TIL - ty!

almost never play a shooter unless it has some gyro functionality.

splatoon (wii-u) was truly a swim-or-drown situation with everyone learning at the same time and it was glorious

What’s that phenomenon where as a child you were told a “fact”, internalised it, and lived your life presuming it was true until someone points out how obviously wildly untrue it was that you momentarily question reality?

Because I was today’s years old when I realised how ridiculous cutting complete blood flow would be. Thank you (genuinely!)

Funnily, the animal was named after the greek mythological figure of the same name. Wife of Typhon and considered the mother of monsters - including Cerberus.

It’s sad to see parents one up the children instead of elevate them

Great thread - might make my icons a little smaller but I have a big phone (for my hand) so I tried to balance minimalist with color-immediacy

absolutely brutal news to hear. it cannot be overstated how much of an impact this man’s works had influenced not only action and comedy manga but culture as a whole. rip on of the greats

Not a fan of the genre so take what I say with a grain of salt but I’ve always viewed it as the destillation of the “fish out of water” and power fantasy combined into one. Both reasonably popular tropes tied into one.

So it’s already readily consumeable for the targeted demo and relatively easy to write/draw since the you don’t need to worry about developing a distinct character trait/trope (he’s unique/powerful) or unique narrative framing. It’s not necessary bad, just easy to produce and readily consumable. It’s the equivalent of the step-fantasy or fast food. Not evil or bad, just not particularly unique.

Then you eventually get amazing works (Jack In The Box’s Chick n tater melt, Overlord, Eminence In The Shadow) that either push the best traits to 11 or are a direct commentary on the genre itself.

HYPEEE. already meme worthy panels

remind what episode? I can’t recall

Great Parks and Rec episode

lmfao Saint Germain - should’ve guessed and hyped 🙌

congrats on the twins 🙌🙌

I do appreciate creators who do their own content despite being keenly aware of the algorithm.

Infrequent long-form content creators to check out:

Tom O’Regan: British(?) topical/interest reviews, personal recommendations include his Obra Dinn video, Sickest Chess Match, and The Biggest Mistake In Music History

B-Mask: I support him on Patreon so pardon the bias but he likes to take his time creating in-depth and clear retrospectives on topics he’s interested in, managing to get you interested in The Fantastic Four, Jems, and 2000s video game trilogies. Not long form for the sake of $$$ but insightful analysis of the history, themes, and personal deconstruction of such topics.

Also check out Moth Light Media for evolutionary biology, and Lines in Motion for manga and art analysis.

More frequent but short form (under 4 minutes) creators to check out are few and wide, 5sf are back-ish but carrying the torch are:

CrackerMilk are a bunch of good aussie lads making short sketches for quick laughs, with excellent timing and shooting.

Valueselect is a personal fave where he was doing sketches a year or two ago but is experimenting with yt shorts quite well. The majority of his comedy surrealist/fantasy/80’s styling music are absolute hits.

Hope these are good starting points, I found these guys from browsing similar threads.

The width of a scarf matches the height of a human neck, so a scarf for an ostrich would look closer to a blanket. That or a tube sock.

Edit: I just realized, given the length of the ostrich and relative proportions, a human scarf would be closer to a decorative necklace or choker.

Loved this chapter, especially in the webcomics when Zombieman visits Genius.

However, I feel this is going to get retconned due to the inconsistencies - I hope apron Mosquito Girl at least stays

The MangaPlus app does re-editions/releases and I’m presuming the bot automatically posts what they release

Honestly felt like he’s on the razor’s edge, I wonder if anything develops significantly, though it’ll be interesting to see how Loid behaves after this

Was he established to be an aspiring photographer in the last loop? The irony of negation abilities are always so palpably evil

Acollierastro Physicist and academic breaks down varying topics in casual and fun long-form format. string theory lied to us and now science communication is hard

Value Select Multi-talented (really) independent content creator, who flavours his borderline surrealist humour with 80’s stylings and DnD/medieval vocabulary and theatrics. Pushes for good vibes while keenly aware of the grind “Embrace the mirth”.

He’s always experimenting and pushing his production to unbelievably comedic quality, so I discovered him when he was doing musical skits such as Tell me your name again (again) Hit Me With Your Car 2020

Right now he’s been on fire with his youtube shorts. Not everyone’s thing and if you wanna take a glance, personal favourites include:

• Anything Is Possible
• It’s a Man’s World
• Simulacrush (Lady On The Cake)
