Has anyone ever heard of Boi What? One of his songs called Just A Pineapple came across my YouTube feed a bit ago. Dude is insanely talented. The lyrics, vocals, instrumentals, everything is incredible. The issue is that he uses AI voices and it honestly ruins it for me.

Like, go listen to Neon Tide. It's unironically an amazing song, but the fact he uses an AI voice of Doug Lawrence makes it hard to support him any any way at all.

The top comment of the Neon Tide video says that in a behind the scenes video he actually mentioned the song is about his own feelings towards AI which would makes sense in some ways. The song could be him saying AI is dangerous, but it's also really hard to take him serious at all when the entire song is using AI and the video it's over is also AI. Like, kind of destroys your entire point there.

So there's actual skibidi toilet toys being sold now? How are they not breaking some copyright law by doing that? The head in the toilet is a straight model rip from Half-Life. How has Valve not taken legal action?

Share the little guy around! Lets see how far he gets and how far he's loved!

Do it for Wheeljack 💖

I miss Wheeljack's design from Bumblebee so much. I hate what they did to him in ROTB. Just remember what they took from us.

The line in that new Minecraft clip sounded kind of familiar.

Apparently I have "a voice for radio". Ever since I started this job at Burger King I've had four people compliment my voice. Two people have asked me if I sing and when I told them that I didn't they told me that I have a great voice for it and that I should learn.

Then one other guy told me that I sound like I should be a great game show host. Then just today someone told me my voice would be great for radio. This isn't the first time I've been told I have a good voice, but for people to tell me in person is actually a massive compliment to me. I've always wanted to be a voice actor, but I kind of stop pursuing that dream a bit ago because I lived with my parents for so long and it was really hard to even try to get any type of gig because I couldn't audition for much of anything with my parents always in the house so people still telling me I have a good voice really is a massive compliment to me and means a lot.

Nintendo doesn't have "underpowered hardware" they make their consoles to run their games and every time they come out looking great.

Nintendo games look great on their consoles because that's what they design them for. Sure maybe if you're thinking of the third party games they might be "underpowered" but who is getting a Nintendo console to play a Sony or Xbox game?

This isn't Kakashi anymore

This is just Etho now. That's all I see whenever I look at this character.

With how much the new Deadpool movie talked about how bad the current state of the MCU is currently I wonder if that means we'll see some actual change coming from future movies. Obviously Marvel knows we aren't enjoying what's happening, so maybe they'll listen.

My trio of Helluva Boss profile pictures.

I got really obsessed with Helluva Boss a bit ago and made the Stolas one and I'm really happy with it. I made the Fizz one at the same time and don't really like it as much. The Blitzo one is the newest one and I'm currently using it.

Typical disclaimer for this, the picture is a screenshot from an anime called Kaiba, I've just been recoloring it and adding things to it since 2017 for my Discord profile picture. Go watch the anime, it's really good!

My coworkers joke about my name a lot, not in a mean way but in a friendly way. My name is Kup so they always call me things like "spoon" or "fork" or "plate". Just playful banter.

The funny thing is if they knew my name literally came from a rock and a cupcake I feel like they'd get more of a kick out of that.

I was not expecting to see Joel Haver in Smiling Friends!

I finally got some time to watch The New Empire.

It was good, but I don't know if I liked it more than the last movie. I did really love everything that they did with Kong though. Kong was easily the best thing about this movie and I really liked the Scar King even though I was expecting not to going in. Though, the movie was basically a Kong movie with a side of Godzilla.

I will say though, I didn't feel like Shimo or Scar King felt as threatening as Mecha Godzilla. Mechagoji was a genuine threat and almost killed Godzilla until Kong stepped in and helped. In this movie we see Scar King beat Kong a bit, and the whole movie we see Godzilla just beating other monsters powering up then the final battle he basically has no issue at all fighting Shimo even though they built the two of them up as these end of the world monsters.

I enjoyed it, but definitely didn't live up to the expectation of the last movie.

What we really need is for Destroyah to finally show up in one of these movies. Then we'll really have a good fight.

I don't take selfies very often because I can never take any that look good, but today I think I may have taken one of the best ones I think I will ever take.

Like god dang this picture makes me look so good! The shirt makes my eyes pop which in my opinion is my best feature. You hear people say the camera adds 10 pounds, but for me it took them away.

I am so happy with this picture.

My self esteem has gotten better as I got older.

I always had issues with my self confidence or the way I looked at myself. I honestly always hated the way I looked, I never thought I looked good, I was always overweight, clothes never looked good, overall I just looked bad. Even when I was in a relationship I still thought I looked bad. At the time I was still trying to figure out who the heck I was as well. Was I trans? Was I bi? I had no idea and was super confused so that also didn't really help any either.

Well I'm almost 30 and a lot of that self image issue has basically gone away. I still have those days, but I've been able to look at myself in the mirror and be like "dang I look good" whereas before I would never think that. I put on a nice looking shirt, some good pants, and a pair of boots I like and honestly I know I look good. I'm not gonna lie, I probably did look pretty bad back when I was in high school, but that's also due to just how I carried myself. My hair was long and parted right in the middle so it just looked really bad. Now my hair is short and I actually try to style it sometimes. I wear nice looking button ups, but not super fancy ones, they're still in my style because they have SpongeBob or Adventure Time characters on them.

Over all I just feel really good about myself lately and to anyone else struggling with self esteem issues just know that it wont last. And maybe all you need to try and do is try out a new wardrobe or hairstyle! :D

The other day ago my cat, Laylee turned six years old. She's a fat dummy, but I love her :)

My last two Team Fortress 2 videos have been getting a lot more traction that usual.

I think it might be because I was playing as Sniper because the last two Sniper specific videos got a decent amount of views compared to my others.

That's interesting. Maybe I'll upload more Sniper videos. If you want to check me out on YouTube then my channel is ARealCupcake.
