With This Photo, I Have ‘”No Tears” By Tuxedomoon In My Head.

March 15 2005 4/15/05

I haven't had much time to write the past couple weeks.

I've been busy y'know aranging my death and all.

It's strangly cathartic.

Watching my entire life all slowly fade away.

No.

It's not my life.

I get to decide my life from now on.

I need a new name.

My wife @jackers-stuff misheard liopleurodon as neopleurodon and thought it was an ice cream dinosaur. So now this exists.

how to draw arms ? ? 

Imagine a game like spore but you start out in a truly completely empty universe. Nothing but stars and planets. So instead of starting out with panspermia, on your first planet, in your first playthrough you have to play this "chemical stage" to decide the kind of stuff your planet's life will be made of. Then on other planets after that you can choose to do it again to make a completely different life or populate this planet via panspermia using life forms from your first world to see how you can get different things from the same ingredients.

So as you play and replay you can slowly fill up the universe. And maybe you can also have a simulation mode to just let things progress a little ways without you messing with it to see how things progress.

And as you keep playing it can get progressively harder to start life from scratch because now panspermia events happen so often (a toggle able feature) that every planet becomes increasingly competitive as time goes on.

Just an idea.

Was she wrong though?

frankly think a lot of glados android designs are kinda bland so I present to u whatever the fuck this is

(edit: yes i know its not an android technically. u can now stop saying this.)

This gif contains what is probably my favorite background detail of Megamind. Megamind has just ordered Metroman’s death after trapping him in the copper dome. Of course, since it’s Megamind, it doesn’t work, and Metroman just stares at him. We learn later that Metroman faked his death, and used his super speed to wander around the town while having an existential crisis.

He first visits Megamind, having found his real hideout:

and then goes to the park, the library, a diner, etc, and finally, the Metroman museum:

before returning to the dome and faking his death.

Now, what’s really fun about the first gif is that, if you look closely, you can see Metroman fade slightly for two frames right after he rolls his eyes. If you look even more closely, you can see him in one frame standing behind Megamind, and in one frame on the upper deck of the museum. Look at it again. See the flicker?

I’ve slowed it down here to make them more obvious (though at the resolution it’s difficult to see him on the deck):

Screenshots, zoomed in a bit:

There is a bit of a continuity error, though. In the first gif, Metroman uses his superspeed while everyone is waiting for the death ray to work. But in Metroman’s retelling, he leaves while Megamind is yelling “FIRE!” to Minion. You can hear Megamind yell in this video:

So the fun of this detail is a little bit broken by the continuity error. But I think it’s an intentional continuity error, made at the points of drama in both scenes. I mean, look at this dynamic face that Megamind is making here. Pretty cool looking:

Anyway, there’s a fun fact about Megamind!

#4 but it had no service so it was basically the world's sh!tiest camera/game console ever.
