the sheer audacity of blackout poetry is so funny to me that i can almost never take it seriously but i also kind of love that about it. it’s like the opposite of quoting someone. you could have written your own sentence but instead you ripped out pieces of mine. even if the message remains the same it feels like disagreement. “see, you didn’t need to write so many words. look how many i got rid of and it still makes sense.” oh yeah well if you know so much about words why don’t you use your own, asshole

I’ve been catching up with all the Deltarune theories and theme analysis that came out since chapter 2. And what surprise, the one that immediately caught my attention was the “Papyrus is the knight” theories, cos, ya know, I love him very much.

As for if I believe in the theories? Meh, Imma let Toby surprise me rather than speculate. So, see this more of an AU or headcanon than what I think will actually be happening in game.

Still, this tickled the creative side of my brain so you can bet you can find a loooong ass ramble here if you wanna know more about this AU/headcanon of mine.

It gets unnecessarily meta :)

firefox just started doing this too so remember kids if you want to stream things like netflix or hulu over discord without the video being blacked out you just have to disable hardware acceleration in your browser settings!

achesspiece

for the people saying this might be too difficult: idk about chrome but in firefox it just goes

> open settings

> search "hardware acceleration" and there should only be one result

> uncheck use recommended performance settings

> uncheck use hardware acceleration

done!

Since I'm looking at the comments and seeing a lot of people asking what hardware acceleration is and getting wildly incorrect answers, here you go. This is what hardware acceleration is. It's not DRM, and it's not placing a limit on memory usage (unless you have weird definitions for both "memory" and "placing a limit").

This is what hardware acceleration is:

"Do you just have a graphic for this on hand at all times?"

Yes. For this precise reason.

people are drawing Steamboat Willie Mickey doing all this crazy shit and whatnot, but you could always do that. you can do that now, with current Mickey, just fine. it's fanart and it's legally protected. hell you could take Disney-drawn Mickey and put a caption about unions or whatever on it and it would still be protected under free speech and sometimes even parody law.

what is special about public domain is that you can SELL him. you could take a screenshot and sell it on a tshirt. you can use him to advertise your plumbing business. people have already uploaded and monetized the original film.

you could always have Mickey say what you want, but now you can profit off it.

Don't Make a Silly Mistake

Steamboat Willie is now in public domain.

Mickey Mouse?

That's a Trademark.

If you think that the Disney lawyers who specialize in trademark have not been preparing for this, you may be making an expensive mistake.

I have a graphic design degree but I'm not a copyright artist, so the following is not legal advice, it's just a set of observations:

Steamboat Willie vs Mickey Mouse

On the left is Steamboat Willie, on the right is Mickey.

Biggest design difference: Mickey has gloves, and Willie doesn't. Don't draw Willie with gloves, if you do, you're drawing Mickey. You can't see it in this particular screencap, but Willie does have fingers, so you can draw him with full hands.

Willies eye's are black solid ovals, with no sclera and no eye-shine. Mickey has white sclera, smaller distinct pupils, and usually has eye-shine.

Willie is in black and white. You could theoretically make Willie whatever colors you want but for safety, you should obviously avoid Mickey's iconic red shorts with white buttons and yellow shoes.

Mickey's face is usually colored peach these days but it can also be seen in white.

Mickey's shoes tend to be drawn bigger and rounder than Willie's.

Willie doesn't talk, so he doesn't have the classic Mickey voice, so if you're doing like, a voice-acted video... just don't try to imitate Mickey. Give him a different voice.

Pickles are a gateway drug. The first gherkin is free.

They probably shouldn't have built the porch steps right there, that's what I'm saying.

abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao

i hope it's okay to add this because i think it hits the nail directly on the head

Honestly, it's like picking up a book and saying "I know all these words, I can type, I could have written this" like there's no middle step between the technical ability and the finished work.
