It's-a Painting Kind Of Weekend. 🎨🖌

at the risk of sounding like a raving lunatic, i think one of my favorite trekkie memes/posts is that one where someone comments on a screenshot of tos and asks if sulu is texting, because it PERFECTLY encapsulates star trek's strange little place at the intersection of pop culture and the tech world:

like listen... 55+ years ago a bunch of actors had to use a mix of existing habits and wild imagination to come up with what they felt would be believable movements and muscle-memory for someone using completely unbelievable tech a few hundred years in the future. like tv had less than ten channels and the screen was a foot across, and they had to go "ok how would someone who's used to a tiny wireless gadget with a screen hold it and use it? how would they talk to a computer? how would the computer sound when she talked back?"

and over half a century later our own tech has surpassed the clunky retrofuture gizmos in so many ways, no doubt inspired by it, that now someone two decades into the 21st century sees an actor in the 60s holding some tiny rectangular plastic prop in both hands and immediately recognizes it as "oh, sulu's texting!" now THAT is a called shot. hell, that's putting your money on a roulette wheel in a casino that hasn't been built yet. i LOVE it. it's so star trek. sulu is absolutely texting.

Blocking you for blazing a stupid post

And that is your cock right farewell sir

Did something

All done in my honest opinion ofc

When I say "better known to lesser known" I mean that in the AI fandom in general. From the most famous AIs in this fandom to the least talked about ones.

Edit: OH NONOONON OH NO NO IM A FAILURE I FORGOT THE ROBOTS FROM THESE FNF MODS

Edit2: fixed😼😼

Edit3: OK OK I think the right way to explain this iceberg would actually be "Most mentioned/talked about AIs in AI fandom" and not "best known to least known". In which explains why I put Bender and other ones in such a low part, its bcuz there isn't that much people talkin about them in the AI fandom in general

Edit 4: GUYS THERES ALMOST ZERO SPACE WHERE I CAN PUT THE ROBOTS/AIS YALL WANT😭😭CALMDOWN

I'm so so sick of hearing "oh but they dont support lgbt"

I dont give a flying shit. I dont care about a person's or a communities's ideologies when they're being massacred, killed for Absolutely no reason. Idc about all those when it comes to a genocide.

This is not the damn time to look into those. Innocents are dying for every breathe we take and yet I still hear "oh but LGBT-"

Shut tf up. I'm so so so tired and sick of hearing it over and over again.

For once look on the other side, you will see helpless children. Children with their dreams shattered.

Israel is the devil idk what makes you think otherwise.

Besides, you pretend as if israel supports lgbt. You pretend as if they wont kill you for being a part of that community. Theres no confirmation they're not homophobic either. Stop spreading lies.

One of the tiny things from The Mario Movie that hurts my heart whenever I think about it is Luigi’s need to pause and take in surroundings, and how The Shy Guys used it as an excuse to abuse him.

You remember when Mario and Luigi were in that penthouse apartment? how he stopped halfway up the stairs so he could look at everything for a moment?

He probably didn’t even realize what he was doing until he noticed he was being left behind, and had to book it to catch up with his brother and clients.

After Luigi gets captured in The Dark Lands, in the thirty seconds we see of The Shy Guys dragging him along he gets aggressively yanked forward 6 times, with more and more violence and frequency as they go on, like the Sniffit handling the rope is losing patience with him. 

I don’t know, something about that just hurts. Hit me a lot harder than the Bowser interrogation to be honest.

Only 13 percent of video games are readily playable and accessible. No other form of media is as endangered as video games. There is no legal path to preserve or archive video games. You can go to libraries and archives for books years out of print. You can rent a movie or download a pdf. There is no legal equivalent for video games. Games companies do not double as archival organisations and they never will. They have never been about preserving. They are about selling. Which is not inherently evil compared to anyone else but they along with the law are directly preventing archivers and preservationists from doing their job and allowing this entire medium to be experienced in the future.
