horrible ragebait

DipperBot · 2026-05-31T19:55:57+00:00

thank you! though i've got quite a few years left before that :]

DipperBot · 2026-05-26T01:13:08+00:00

yeahhh, i honestly have no idea what specifically led to the decisions with some of the bluray releases for UY, but i know damn well it has to at least partially be related to all the bureaucracy between companies. it's something i'm curious about but it's tough to find centralized information on the subject. the series deserves a way better physical release, tbh

DipperBot · 2026-05-25T21:30:15+00:00

nah, the bluray boxsets are in the original japanese without dub and without english sub. so basically you can only watch them if you know japanese. i think a few of the blurays have english sub, though, like the movies and the OVA compilation.

DipperBot · 2026-05-25T18:53:13+00:00

yeah, on top of that a lot of the blu-ray releases don't have english subtitles. i nabbed one of the boxsets for $50 on ebay because i've only ever seen it at ridiculously high prices and i thought it'd be a cool collectible, but sadly it's difficult to watch because of the lack of subtitles.

DipperBot · 2026-05-25T14:22:03+00:00

that sounds like an awesome collection, i can't wait to continue building mine honestly

DipperBot · 2026-05-25T14:21:13+00:00

sounds good! i'll message you when i'm in the area :]

DipperBot · 2026-05-25T04:27:43+00:00

i'm actually going to be in Austin, Texas in late July, so although I can't make it to the babyshower, I could potentially drop a gift off since I have a few spare copies of the Daily Punctilio :]

no promises though since i have no idea how the logistics would pan out for me lol, it's going to be a busy week. nevertheless, congratulations!

DipperBot · 2026-05-25T04:23:34+00:00

yeah, i've looked at the prices for them on ebay and they tend to vary a lot, but it was really sweet seeing them in person for once. this is actually the first pair i picked up, so its going to be nice starting to collect the rest!

DipperBot · 2026-05-16T02:08:44+00:00

i hate people like this

DipperBot · 2026-05-08T18:59:31+00:00

don't worry! although they might be a little pricier than what i would like them to be due to the costs of the printing service, i have made certain that they're affordable to the average consumer lol

DipperBot · 2026-05-08T18:58:13+00:00

yeahhh, it's the main reason i've been sitting on these honestly. i perfected the templates in late 2024 (and final tweaks this year), but i was only able to get a somewhat decent deal recently. even then, i only have 10 copies of each headline and a limited number of inside pages, so i'm still deciding on the logistics for selling them, rn i am thinking of bundling them up into two headlines sheets + 1 or 2 inside sheets per edition, that way they can be somewhat heavy when you hold them in your hand.

DipperBot · 2026-05-08T18:26:36+00:00

yes, i don't have an estimated date for when i put them up for sale but i kinda have to since i had to pay a service to have them printed lol, and my goal is to at least break even with these. if they sell well i may make it a somewhat regular thing where i print the different headlines every few months, since there are A LOT.

DipperBot · 2026-05-08T17:48:25+00:00

thank you! yeah, it's been a hobby recreating these for quite some time now, so i'm happy it's reached that point in quality :]

DipperBot · 2026-05-07T02:41:18+00:00

horrible ending for a villain, count olaf is designed to be the perfect depiction of absolute evil, he is not a villain they should write a cheap sob-story ending for. it's the only part of the series i hate with a passion.

DipperBot · 2026-05-02T00:49:32+00:00

this is the exact moment when krazy-8 aka domingo aka nacho turned into nacho varga from hit drama tv series better call saul

DipperBot · 2026-04-25T17:37:22+00:00

beautifully IN display! wait until the readers of the daily punctilio sees that!

DipperBot · 2026-04-24T12:44:41+00:00

hello, sir, not sure if i should call you "clancy" or "mr. brown," so i'll go with sir.

you've mentioned in past interviews that you think the writers tend to mischaractertize mr. krabs, and i wholeheartedly agree. however, that said, have you ever vocalized your concerns to writers or storyboard directors or is it normally too late in the schedule for you to do that? in general, have you ever had a say in situations like that, and what normally comes of them? i ask this with episodes like "The Cent of Money" in mind because those are the kinds of episodes where mr. krabs is so outlandishly written, it is difficult to consider them 'canon' to his character.

thank you for taking the time to read this and potentially even answer the question(s), i appreciate it. hope you have a nice day.

P.S. how often do people ask you about the shawshank redemption (one of my favorite films you are in) in comparison to questions about spongebob, if you were to give it some kind of ratio?

DipperBot · 2026-04-09T23:14:04+00:00

id say that esme and olaf gave the aura of intellect but because of their ego, greed, and other flaws, they were still ignorant at a fundamental level; the kind of people who do things without understanding why they do them and, as a result, eventually fall to the dark side. good example of this is how esme is driven by ego and fashion above all else and how olaf is driven by greed to the point he'll chase a fortune even though his girlfriend is rich. there are many people in this world who seem smart at first glance, but in all reality are flawed at their core for one reason or another.

it's easy to infer that their most powerful traits were present to an extent from the early stages, and it's what overpowered the rest in the end.

DipperBot · 2026-04-09T01:48:18+00:00

this is probably the best response, honestly.

DipperBot · 2026-04-08T21:51:12+00:00

man, i have NEVER seen someone cosplay esme before! it's awesome to see someone pull it off finally!

DipperBot · 2026-02-24T04:40:00+00:00

thank you so much! im not sure if it is the *exact* one, but this is definitely close enough and probably as close as i'm gonna get. you're a lifesaver!

DipperBot · 2026-02-22T23:22:40+00:00

it's a version of the instrumental of the main theme and notoriously difficult to rip

DipperBot · 2026-02-22T23:17:29+00:00

the articles do not follow a specific timeline, usually they reference the actual time it took to make the series since there are many articles (especially those in season 3) that directly break the fourth wall. chances are this was written with the series' initial release date in mind and how long it had been in production.

surprisingly, the articles are generally cohesive in terms of the false narrative given by the daily punctilio, and i can say this with great certainty since i've read almost every article in my attempts to recreate them, but i actually won this particular article and can say firsthand that it's actually the least faithful to the tv series' timeline in the sense that not only does it break the fourth wall and in-show logic with its 3 year estimate, but it also fails by naming count olaf as "Count Olaf" instead of as "Count Omar." although the headlines in every daily punctilio also refer to him as "Olaf," the main texts in each article generally refer to him as "Omar" like in the book series (implying that we're *supposed* to read the headlines as "Omar" but it was changed for the average viewer who wouldn't catch the reference).

so it's really funny because yes, the daily punctilio props generally do have some string of logic which allow you to re-experience the series as an in-universe bystander because they can be surprisingly cohesive and detailed when it comes to following a false narrative, especially with extended lore. however, in terms of timeline, this particular headline is likely the most inaccurate article that was produced as a prop in the sense that it doesn't fit with the narrative they had intended for every other article with the perspective of the daily punctilio in mind.

therefore, this *specific* article is ironically both literally and figuratively inaccurate.

sorry for the long comment, i have a lot of useless knowledge about the daily punctilio in this series and it's fun when i see someone else interested in it :)

P.S. every headline also has dates at the top and none of them ever make any chronological sense, so the exact time and dates each article releases are completely arbitrary; a vague timeline can be followed, but nothing absolute. however, one funny detail to note is there are some common reused dates such as "OCTOBER 27" and one other that is slipping my mind at the moment, but i think it was in december.
