New Pinned Post

Hi, I'm Ana. I am an adult and since this blog is occasionally nsfw I'd request those following to be at least 18. This blog does not have a particular theme, and I am infrequent in tagging. Followers are welcome to request I tag specific posts that make them uncomfortable.

I am a communist and a bisexual trans woman, and live with my fiancee. I do not like sharing pictures of myself very often, so please do not ask for them. I am interested in music, illustration, animation, fashion, reading, writing, architecture, history, and cooking. I have done some writing and art projects in the past but am currently taking a break to learn new mediums and grow as a person, and so do not wish to share my old work.

I am a person who likes my privacy and quiet for the most part, so I sometimes come off as cold or distant. I am always trying to learn new things and improve.

Guy says he's wanted to see a live action version of Princess Mononoke for over twenty years. So, instead of spending time learning to make films and about cinematography and actually creating his own art?

He dumped some money into an AI generator to make a shot for shot remake of the trailer.

Dude decided the best way he could pay tribute to an iconic movie about the importance of the relationship between humanity and nature was to recreate it in a manner that includes no human actors and is an industry that is notoriously demanding devastating amounts of energy in the middle of a fucking climate crisis, this shit is beyond parody.

oh ok so these are the companies of ex-Za/um members:

Summer Eternal - a co-op, that includes Lenval Brown and Disco Elysium writers Argo Tuulik, Olga Moskvina, Dora Klindžić

Dark Math - Kaur Kender's brother Heiti Kender, Timo Albert ex-za/um motion graphic designer

Longdue - ?

Red Info - Robert Kurvitz and Aleksander Rostov

#if anyone's having trouble keeping up #kender is one of the money vultures and I refuse to touch anything he’s involved with #summer eternal and red info are what you’re going to want to keep an eye on for good shit :)

Dark Math, ie. the studio behind XXX Nightshift, which was revealed first with a plagiarized familiar scrolling Disco Elysium-"inspired" UI and skills seemingly chiming in, is being touted as both a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium and yet somehow "a lot more fun" because it's got "a few less words".

No former Elysium worldbuilders or writers are seemingly on staff, and as previously mentioned, Kender is one of the money-hungry investors responsible for the corporatization of the original za/um.

Longdue's website also sounds like a load of shit, on top of them not disclosing who exactly the former za/um staff are, and they're hiring writers and an art director. They've released concept art that vaguely invokes the general Disco Elysium vibes, but there's no info or title for their game, and the studio is apparently mostly comprised of former Bungie and Rockstar employees.

Summer Eternal's website is exactly what you'd expect from the studio touting the most former za/um creatives (yes, creatives!!! not just people formerly involved in za/um's corporate side!!) sounds promising both in terms of their ideal direction for this new art collective, as well as the people involved. Unlike Longdue's website, this one is more than a bunch of fluff that can fit in three screenshots, and worth a read.

Keep an eye on both Red Info and Summer Eternal, the other two are corporate trash trying to springboard off of the Disco Elysium IP, but these two collectives are formed by the actual creatives behind it.

(context: the person in the video is in the midst of making pilgrimage to Lhasa. The tradition is called kechangtou/磕长头 (ཕྱག་འཚལ/chak tsal; "head ceremony") Tibetan Buddhists will travel on foot from wherever they live to Lhasa, prostrating every three steps along the way. To aid in this, people making the pilgrimage will wear wooden blocks on their hands and (often leather) aprons over their clothes, which they will change or mend when the items get worn out. The person in the video is traveling with a friend. According to his account, he started his journey near the end of November 2023 and is nearly 90 days in.)

English added by me :)
