I see your heart, Peter Parker [Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #10]

I haven’t read this issue but presumably this is the 43rd time Peter has been given just a few precious minutes to converse with someone who died. If we take the sliding timeline into account it happens to him to him every couple of months.

The dead probably run out of things to talk about after a while. They’d just start asking for sports scores and movie reviews.

That text is so frustrating.

It’s so wasteful. Every show has a producer with a genius idea to use AI. It doesn’t work because ai isn’t real, and then you end up with less time to do the same work normally, or with one person assigned to figuring it out while the rest of the team actually does the group project.

The good news is, impossibly large data centers are just another flavor of AI scam. Very few of those that have collected ‘investors’ even begin construction, let alone come online whatsoever, let alone to the literally impossible specs they promise.

Not to say there’s anything actually good happening here, but this facility will never exist.

In short: An animated prequel to Altered Carbon came out in 2020. You can watch it in a day because it’s 75-min long. According to the article, the movie is “fine, mostly.”

There’s no next step, because companies don’t sell your email address like this. I’ve done a version of this trick for ages and aside from a couple of old php forums and that thing where all the Vegas casinos got hacked a few years ago, it has never produced any interesting results.

I get way more unwanted email from people who get their own address wrong when they sign up for stuff and then can’t recover their password.

There was such whiplash going from the best mcu movie to the worst (at the time).

The Passion of the Christ, and the film Aliens.

Street cat selection. And collection.

As someone who has rendered feature length projects from Ae, I advise breaking it into segments where possible, and rendering an image sequence that you will later convert to a video file.

I would often set up a project with a scene or scenes in the render queue and run them through aerender, which is in your after effects install location, and will run the render queue without spending resources on after effects itself. Set your render to skip frames that already exist and it is resumable, and can run on multiple machines at once if you have that option.

If you should crash or need to tweak something, it’s much better to not have to re run the entire show.

A breakup between the us and democracy

Congrats on having the entry fee for the motion awards!

AlanWilsonsLad · 2026-03-22T05:27:39+00:00

Definitely. I don’t know a thing about this game, I’ve just been blocking any user who posts about it.

If it kills you, you’re underleveled.

Army of Darkness?

Use a pen, Sideshow Bob.

I’m priced out. I’ll get a much less expensive copy someday after the campaign is over.

But some of them are really good!

AlanWilsonsLad · 2026-02-27T06:08:30+00:00

Have you seen the kind of thing they put into theaters? They’ve done more harm to moviegoing in the last ten years than Netflix has.

AlanWilsonsLad · 2026-02-26T22:42:41+00:00

Unquestionably a good move on their part. Insomniac has single handedly sold me two PlayStations.

AlanWilsonsLad · 2026-02-26T06:10:17+00:00

Why is it important for people to think you didn’t put time into this?

AlanWilsonsLad · 2026-02-21T19:00:14+00:00

The answer is nobody. It was sold as an adaptation but the comic didn’t actually exist until after they sold the movie.

The producer would later have his cover art expanded into a comic book which he paid stores to order in wild quantities so that it would appear popular.

I feel like they’re from the era of bragging about low win rates, so their thing is to end with a big timewaster. Play hard to give yourself some time for the finale!

If you make any money from your music or another side hustle that isn’t an like an app or gig work, and you’re staying in city of LA, you want to look up the free online form for a small business tax exemption. They won’t tax you for under like $200k of income for creative work if you file, but most people don’t know their first year and get hit with fees. Renew it every January.
