Why would you—That's not—I just wanted to ask for help, why did you have to go and make it awkward???

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #xue yang #Its such a relief to not have to draw so many characters once again.#Redrawing the specific font from the English translated mdzs books was surprisingly fun!#Maybe I'm alone in this...but I think characters switching to a different font of speech for *emphasis* is peak comedy #you can't communicate voice changes of sound very well in non audio forms so this is the best I can do.#Anyways...rip Xue Yang. You finally meet your idol and he brushes you off #Rather— he doesn't live up to the expectations you built in your head #Kind of an on going issue there Jester (I refuse to call him king or sir)#XY is constantly making people out to be the versions he needed them to be to feel justified in his actions #but struggles to pivot when confronted with the fact that these ppl are *more* than just one surface reading!#wwx doesn't actually think xy is flirting. He's just tired of all the fake fans + wants to get out of this convo.#button mashing the A button to skip the unskippable cutscene #Lan Wangji is in the next comic btw. I've missed him dearly. I'm sorry he's been gone so long </3 #edit: poorly spelt MDZS strikes again. This is why I need more time to write my comics. So I can actually proofread B*(#edit2: I cast 'Power of Technology' and fixed my error. Everyone reblog this version instead please

so i've got stuck on something simple and it's driving me insane

i'm creating a calendar to slot to the sides of the fridge in my kitchen set. and i really wanted it to be useful, not just random clutter, so i decided i was going to make it functional and have it bring up the real in-game calendar. cute lil idea, should be easy, yeah?

my god it is not easy

i can bring up the notebook and phone ui... every icon but the one i want. i have no idea what the command to bring up the calendar could be, and i've tried SO many

i was so determined to get it working i even ventured into python for the first time to look through the game files. for hours on end i've searched 'calendar' and 'event' and 'ui' and 'holiday' and 'dialog' and everything else i could think of, but none of the commands i try do anything

like who was i even kidding installing PyCharm 😭 over here breaking out in a sweat watching 'absolute beginner!! a baby could code this!!!' tutorials

anyway, i never get any responses posting in the Sims 4 Studio forum, but if any modders see this post 1) i apologize for being a novice on main and 2) i would be eternally grateful for your help, or even just a nudge in the right direction. the file is here and right now the interaction opens the phone

it grinds my gears to give up on an idea, but i've wasted an embarrassing amount of time messing with this. so for now, defeated, i'm going back to my microwave 😔

#ts4 wip #i can't help but think i'm missing something OBVIOUS #or maybe the sims 4 calendar ui is just the peak of human technological advancement and cannot be modified. idk #i know i will never take a “simple” cheat/mod for granted again

Propaganda (On-X, Rainbow Brite): Look at this robot pony. He's jet black, he has a deep robot voice, he looks like a grumpy chess knight, his legs turn into rocket blaster things. And he flies! He's just a really fun design and what little kid wouldn't geek out over him?

.

#FHT propaganda #I don't know why but he looks like he'd have a boomer attitude towards new tech and sees himself as peak technology #Group Evelyn propaganda

somebody must have an orphanage for all these things nobody wants anymore // November 15, 2023 (Racine, WI)

#jessie lynn mcmains #photography #vintage #machines #jukebox #cigarette machine #racine #wisconsin #empty storefront #reflection #my photos #to me this type of machinery is where technology peaked #fuck a smart fridge #fuck a new-fangled digital jukebox #give me an old wurlitzer that still plays 45s #and a cigarette machine #and one of those (slightly more modern but still perfect) machines you find in some rest areas #the dispensers of hot liquid where you can do half coffee and half hot cocoa to make a 'mocha'#and i'd be happy

Despite absolutely despising the Disney Pinocchio film as a child (stories where characters were naughty caused me a great deal of anxiety), I watched Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio last night.

1) It also caused me a great deal of anxiety 2) I read that Guillermo del Toro made it because the Disney version also freaked him out as a child

That’s not the important part, the important part is that I am now obsessed with the four rabbit grim reapers who are voiced by Tim Blake Nelson:

At first, I was convinced that they must be a reference to the Black Rabbit of Inlé from Watership Down. I have never read or watched Watership Down. My relationship with Watership Down is that everyone I know irl who has read it was traumatized by it, and a lot of horror writers I like were inspired by it. I refuse to read it, thought, because Ursula K. LeGuin says it’s a shitty male power fantasy, and I always listen to Ursula.

I looked it up though and it turns out those rabbits are canonical to the book. What the fuck?? To be fair, I read the wikipedia synapsis of Pinocchio and Carlo Collodi was wilding. Wikipedia makes no mention of the rabbits, though, but I was able to find the part where they appear:

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Not a bit. I'd rather die than drink that awful medicine."

At that moment, the door of the room flew open and in came four Rabbits as black as ink, carrying a small black coffin on their shoulders.

"What do you want from me?" asked Pinocchio.

"We have come for you," said the largest Rabbit.

"For me? But I'm not dead yet!"

"No, not dead yet; but you will be in a few moments since you have refused to take the medicine which would have made you well."

"Oh, Fairy, my Fairy," the Marionette cried out, "give me that glass! Quick, please! I don't want to die! No, no, not yet--not yet!"

And holding the glass with his two hands, he swallowed the medicine at one gulp.

"Well," said the four Rabbits, "this time we have made the trip for nothing."

And turning on their heels, they marched solemnly out of the room, carrying their little black coffin and muttering and grumbling between their teeth.

In a twinkling, Pinocchio felt fine. With one leap he was out of bed and into his clothes.

The Fairy, seeing him run and jump around the room gay as a bird on wing, said to him:

"My medicine was good for you, after all, wasn't it?"

"Good indeed! It has given me new life."

"Why, then, did I have to beg you so hard to make you drink it?"

"I'm a boy, you see, and all boys hate medicine more than they do sickness."

"What a shame! Boys ought to know, after all, that medicine, taken in time, can save them from much pain and even from death."

"Next time I won't have to be begged so hard. I'll remember those black Rabbits with the black coffin on their shoulders and I'll take the glass and pouf!--down it will go!"

I found an illustration, too!!

Never in my life have I considered having some grim reaper rabbits stroll into my house in order to threaten my children into taking their medicine.

Anyway, thank you Guillermo del Toro, for never shying away from taking something weird as Hell and completely leaning into it. (I’m still incredibly pissed at Encanto for trying to turn 100 Years of Solitude into a feel-good family film)

#pinocchio #guillermo del toro's pinocchio #i am unwilling to say that i enjoyed watching pinocchio because i absolutely did not #i was in a state of absolutely horror and anxiety the entire time i was watching it #but more love and care went into every shot of that film than anything i have ever seen #it was a marvel of art and technology and heart #also vera brosgol worked on it and i love vera brosgol #yes i have read the entire story about cate blanchett voicing the monkey and i still can't get over cate blanchett voicing the monkey #also at one point i exclaimed 'who is this film FOR?' and my husband looked me dead in the eye and said 'YOU'#speaking of which i am not sure who THIS POST is for but it is a Peak Polynya post for sure

The latest quantum computing news is funny as hell, and mirrors the fiasco with Google's claim a few years ago. They claimed to have done a calculation that would've taken 10K years on a conventional processor, then maybe a few months later a Chinese group proved it was doable in five minutes on silicon. IBM's recent claim has already been refuted, with a research group making a better accurate calculation in only several minutes.

I'm all for quantum optimism, but it is not the era-changer that their marketing makes it out to be. It's also not even useful for anything yet and given the immense cost it's kind of silly. I don't particularly care for investment grifts but I also don't like false information.

#we are still a long time off from commercial application of quantum computing #and we haven't even reached the peak of silicon technology either

Compared to his edgy cunt Japanese counterpart from six years prior... 09 film Tenma is such a dork I want him to tell me all about his air fryer.

#umataro tenma #bill Tenma #(yes that that version's name)#astro boy 2009 #you know that despite being surrounded by all these complex robots #he's considering that the peak of technology #there's something to love and despise in every version of the man
