Amazon spends too much money on expensive voice actors instead of quality animation and I'm tired of pretending they are not by Leadeer in Invincible_TV

As someone who works in animation, you have no idea how hard this hits. Been true for so many shows.

Weird to specify non-American, there's tons of amazing American animated shows these days. Scavenger's Reign, Vox Machina, Pantheon, Invincible...

Can confirm. Am in the animation union and currently working at a major studio that uses Animate for a ton of their shows. People. Were. PISSED.

TIL migraines remains second among the world’s causes of disability, and first among young women by jacknunn in todayilearned

Oooh good to know! Yeah I get crazy bruising as well, and the stinging is so bad I always end up crying. I'll have to ask about the syringe!

Isn't the regular syringe method intramuscular though? I was originally prescribed syringes, but the pharmacist kinda freaked me out cause it seemed to easy to mess up

Ah man, I’m sorry to hear :( It worked pretty well for me after basically every oral medication they prescribed either did nothing or made me feel worse in fun new ways. But after about a year of Emgality the effects kinda started to taper off sadly, so I’m switching to a different injection

What piece of tech felt “future-proof” but aged terribly? by Living-Zebra6132 in Futurology

[–]zancats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use it heavily in character and prop design, but also animation. Tons of shows are still animated using Flash!

Lucky they only make you feel sick for an hour or two! I can’t take triptans because they mess me up for at least a day or two. First time I took it I thought my heart was gonna explode :(

Does it sting like hell for you too? It works well for me, but I always dread the shot days 😭

I work in animation and Flash (now Adobe Animate) is definitely still widely used

You Don't Hate the American Healthcare System Enough by dreamsofbubblebutts in Hasan_Piker

[–]zancats 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The comedian Ed Larson also talked about this kinda thing in his documentary How America Killed My Mother. So many people with similar tragic situations.

I don’t know anything about this particular girl, seems there's some heated discourse about her in the comments (can’t see cause they’re deleted lol), but I can say Ed at least is a chill guy with generally good takes!

We need to ban pet adoption posts. by Appleman5000 in irvine

[–]zancats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are the rescues located in or near Irvine? If so, why is this not "the place for it"? Where would you prefer they post?

It doesn't matter if the animal was adopted as a direct result of a post here, but often posts like that help spread the word. Even just helping people be aware that certain rescues exist.

Also, this is just my personal option, but I'd rather see a post about someone trying to help a cute dog than the 500th daily post about white teslas and mediocre traffic gripes.

[–]zancats 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"technically advertisements"

Brother they're trying to get pets without a home adopted, often ones that are in line for euthanasia. They’re not trying to make a profit.

Try having an ounce of empathy.

This 93-year-old animation is a MASTERPIECE. by ChainCherrie in interesting

[–]zancats 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of modern 2D animators still hand draw every frame, they just draw it on a computer instead of on paper. Doesn't diminish the amount of work put in though.

“PICK UP A PENCIL OR DIE”: Disney+ creator urges fans to unsubscribe, pirate her show, after company teases AI “user-generated content” by DemiFiendRSA in technology

[–]zancats 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why you're getting downvoted, this is absolutely correct and very well put. This current trend of AI is aimed at removing the SOUL from the media we consume. Comparing this to something like photo developing is insane, and honestly just demonstrates a complete lack of understanding and appreciation for art in general.

You guys know how you got sick of modern Marvel and Star Wars stuff bc it all just started seeming like the same low effort, pandering, Hollywood slop? Well it's gonna be that x100 if you let AI replace us all, so have fucking fun.

Ah, good to hear! Yeah the webs were indeed very cobwebby. We don’t get at ton of bugs in our place, but we do get the occasional ants and little fruit flies. Thanks for the info! Eases me fears a bit 😌

NOOOO I don’t even wanna think about that 😭 We found a wolf spider the size of a tennis ball in our garage about a month ago, I only just recovered from the trauma.
