I can 100% see someone making a game based on those memes, some Stanley Parable style narrator

"That's when it appeared.... the creature." [jumpscare happens]

Oh damn Tron Legacy was 2010?? Yeah I ain't remembering anything from 15 years ago

Mal-awoo-nis @malunis.bsky.social · 11h

(Half joking btw I've not seen the Tron movies in MANY years so it's natural I can't remember anything besides visuals/music)

Mal-awoo-nis @malunis.bsky.social · 11h

I have heard that, allegedly, the people who are defending the new Tron movie have been quick to comment on its good visuals and music but don't comment on the story (idk though)

But honestly? I can't remember anything about the story of the first two movies myself, so maybe that's a Tron thing??

Bit of a work-in-progress as I was wanting to draw some turnaround/expressions of Chacha. I wanna say I accidentally unlocked a new look for her, but I don't think she likes it. Maybe she had to crossdress for an adventure. She makes it work??

(Last addition I swear)

Oh this is what they call wanderlust innit

Mal-awoo-nis @malunis.bsky.social · 15h

Oh, small addendum, the places I go in the dreams aren't always just standard stores, sometimes it's like a flea market. Which again feels like one of those "Something I haven't experienced in years" things. Def remember being some old Transformers/TMNT as a teen. Would wanna visit one as an adult.

Mal-awoo-nis @malunis.bsky.social · 15h

Prrrrobably related, I've felt for a while that I really missed out on experiencing malls. I've been to them at a very young age but I was of the age where I couldn't really wander on my own, or spend money, so I never got to truly experience a mall in their prime.

Mal-awoo-nis @malunis.bsky.social · 15h

It came to mind because I just had one about a mall that has appeared in my dreams several times; Countless floors, every shop is interesting and varied, there's arcades and lively social areas, chill vibes, etc.

Weirdly/sadly, when I show up, I have the sense that I won't be there for very long.

Mal-awoo-nis @malunis.bsky.social · 15h

A mundane fact about me is that I actually do keep lists in Google Maps that are for places I've visited/eaten at, so I guess it's a bit of that part of me seeping into my dream world. idk it's interesting to me. It's like a Bionicle The Dream phenomenon but mixed a bit with travel.

Mal-awoo-nis @malunis.bsky.social · 15h

For various reasons, I don't really share what I dream about in the rare times I have dreams, but a noticeable theme across many of them is a desire to go travelling-- to shop. Like it's always some variation of "Oh I found out there's a new place I haven't visited yet" and it's exciting.

(I say "very understandable," meaning I can unfortunately see the logic that went into his turn to AI, I don't really agree with him on it.)

Mal-awoo-nis @malunis.bsky.social · 1d

I learned not long ago that Kevin MacLeod, famed royalty-free music creator, had started using AI tools to generate music now, and it's unfortunately very understandable how it happened - he apparently only saw the music as a type of product instead of an art piece, so he never felt attached anyway.

Mal-awoo-nis @malunis.bsky.social · 1d

A common similarity I find in the way people use these tools is just the subjective way everyone puts value in different things, like some might see it your way but others might think of it as Busy Work - of course, then there's the "It's an easy ticket to get a thing without any work!" crowd.

Longtime fan of Celie but I love the vibe of Lotta these days

In a way, trying out clay like this is a vague first step to sculpting 3D art...

Mal-awoo-nis @malunis.bsky.social · 1d

I feel it was an unexpected success that I was able to translate this hairstyle to 3D, because I always thought of it like "This seems like it doesn't make sense at any angle" - now I have a good feel for how to draw it at the side and back!

So this is the result of trying out cheap-ass Play-Doh air dry clay to make Chacha in 3D. Intentionally basic shapes since this stuff isn't good for detailing, just getting a feel for sculpting. Stuff's so bad for this that the head was drooping as I took photos lol

Everything is subjective, so depending where you're getting the opinions you may get a very different perspective. The folks I've seen playing the new game in the servers I lurk, they all seem to think this game is a huge improvement over the mainline Pokemon games.

COOL the power was turned back on while I was out on a walk, we back baybeee

Mal-awoo-nis @malunis.bsky.social · 1d

Ah... spent yesterday feeling tired and unproductive after running errands, now dealing with a power outage estimated to be restored by 10pm. Only able to share thanks to phone data. Hope to get back to drawing soon...
