Just something to practice character design. Found an artist on telegram that made this challenge where they post two moodboards weekly and people pick the one they like the most and try making a character based off it. I thought that would be fun, so! Here's my sinister tree lady. I have no idea what to do with her tbh. This isn't the type of character I would normally make for myself to use & I have no clue how adoptables work so I suppose it's just gonna be a one-off thing for now.

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

You know, normally I'm strongly of the opinion that everything that's needed to solve puzzles in games – even optional or post-game puzzles – should be contained within the actual gameplay, and have little tolerance for stuff that wants you to, like, scan a QR code to get a secret Discord link for clues or whatnot, but I'm giving Animal Well a pass because "office printer which, when interacted with, sends a print job to your actual, physical printer, producing an origami diagram which must be correctly folded to yield a password" is extremely funny.

Me (A time traveler visiting 20-year old Mozart): OK, so, this is called an electric guitar, basically instead of the body functioning as a resonance chamber, it produces music by harnessing the power of lightning. Do you have any other questions?

Mozart (Currently shredding Violin Concerto No. 1 on the guitar, having figured it out within 30 seconds): What other music can be made from harnessed lightning?

Me (Loading up some heavy dubstep): Oh, we're just getting started.

Goin' up to a girl like "She doesn't want to talk to me right now. She doesn't want to- She doe- She doesn't want to talk to me right no- That's the bartender, but I think I've had enough for toni- I can't leave, the party's just getting started!"

I went to a library book sale this weekend and I found a very old book called “Electronic Life: How to Think About Computers,” which was published in I think 1975? I’ve been reading it kind of like how I would read a historical document, and it’s lowkey fascinating

[smol-blue-bird]

There’s a whole paragraph that’s like “okay, find the keyboard. Don’t panic if it has more keys than a typewriter, that’s normal. Really, it’s fine. The extra keys don’t make things harder. It’s FINE”

[smol-blue-bird]

Thought this section was particularly interesting:

Can the computer create something? At first glance it seems obvious that it can. Animated computer graphics, with their fluid transitions and whiplash perspectives, look strikingly new. And if one watches the machine doing animation work, there seem to be lengthy periods when the computer is acting “on its own.”

But if one observes these processes in more detail, it becomes clear that creation is not occurring within the machine. First of all, computer graphics are not unique. Computers have yet to generate anything that cannot be done by hand—and usually already has been done. Second, the apparent ability of the computer to “act on its own” is the outcome of thousands of hours of patient human effort to refine its instructions. The computer can manipulate a shape for us if we have already informed it what a shape is, what the rules for shape manipulation are, what this specific shape is, and so forth.

You can start an automobile engine and it will run by itself, too, but that doesn’t mean it’s being creative. It’s just running.

Somebody in 1975 had a better understanding of why artificial intelligence is not in any way “intelligence” than the majority of today’s intellectual minds.
