I think the Ocarina of Time remake looks... okay? It's frankly a mixed bag. Young Link looks a bit off and not expressive enough, young Zelda looks hideous, and I don't mind the more detailed art direction, but I do think they need either a different tonemapper or dial up the contrast significantly.

You know, with all the Deltarune Chapter 5 chatter, I don't think I've seen anyone talk about these two seemingly unused enemies that appear in the second diner room if you return to it later:

Hot take about Switch Sports Resort - Sportsmates aren't good, but Miis with the standard featureset were always pretty shit tbh, they're only tolerable if not good with the extended customization in Switch Miitopia/Tomodachi Life. Ultimate Angler had the perfect "updated Mii" look.

Hearing about the "discourse" around the Gamoverse pilot makes me groan. You don't have to like a thing but bloody hell don't make it everyone else's problem. Some people seem genuinely offended that a ton of people happen to like a specific piece of media, as if it's some kind of sacrilege.

Also, looking for a 3D artist who does anime-style stuff for game and animation stuff, I'd mainly like to commission models for the sisters atm, but I'd also like to do other characters as well. Someone who can also do adult stuff and/or furry/alien characters would be nice but optional.

With the web novel version of Henshin Sisters done, I guess there's now the hard part of reworking into something more suited for mainstream publication - probably removing the erotica, maybe reworking the structure, etc. I really need an editor.

the thing that strikes me about the Grok "apology" thing is that even those of us who are against "AI" as it is marketed to us have trouble not falling into the basic fallacy that they are trying to sell us, i.e. There's A Little Guy In There

Probably the most tactful way I can remark on Charlie Kirk's death is that the fact that he was murdered is deplorable, but I will shed no tears nor say kind words for him, he was a hateful bigot and a nazi who exposed support for the very political violence that was turned on him. Good riddance.

That Charlie Kirk's alleged murderer is a generic cis white dude from a gun-loving Republican family is utterly unsurprising, but the possibility that he was a groyper and the murder was partly because of beef between Kirk and Fuentes is the funniest and most pathetic shit ever
