👋
How's it going y'all.
I won't be posting a ton, but I do appreciate a lot of what I see on here.
I love art, music, fiction, and earnest attempts to highlight humanity. (+ the occasional shit-post)
My media backlog is wildly out of control, so excuse my late thoughts as they emerge.

There's a kind of unfortunate / funny overlap with the name "Loona". A character from the animated series Hazbin Hotel has the same name and is very popular.

Yeah, I'm out of the loop on the full process, I hope they're separate, for the sake of people's sanity lol

Might be even worse because I think vote tokens get consumed when you vote, like a one time use thing? Hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Basically yes but they exist in a semi closed off system, so they kinda just exist for collection functions and voting points within their fan campaigns. Every objekt bought/gained generates 1 vote token. I would guess that most of us just get the image files from Orrery and keep scrolling, lol

According to Hyunjin, there's very little hope for contract resolutions and they need to move on in terms of making a living
Yeojin just put out a song independently, Hyunjin is starting her own indie label, and it's just been chats and insta posts from the rest, I think
Orbits can correct me though

Nice. I first heard it because it's the version they're performing on Korean TV. I was pleasantly surprised 😅

A four panel meme from "The White Lotus," S3, Ep,6, Panel 1: Saxton: Why can't you just like my geneative A*I art?
Panel 2: Chelsea: You have to be vulnerable enough to be bad at something to be good at it, but you're too much of a coward.
Panel 3: Chelsea: Because you're soulless.
Panel 4: Saxton disassociating

Temporarily climbing out of my seasonal job grind to say:
FFXIV patch 7.2, initial content, gets two thumbs up from me, a humble FF series fan.
Looking forward to the rest later.
(Now announce the MH Wilds crossover, Mr. Yoshida, I beg)

It's such a cool motivational anthem, I really enjoyed it.
I can envision a fancam of Alisaie from Stormblood through Endwalker with this track.
Glad I checked it out, though now I'm fixating on the logistics of coordinating 24 idols for 1 song lol.

Remember, #TheGameAwards tonight might be fun, but there's still a #VoiceActor strike going on.

Support your favourite VA. Make the gaming companies sign a fair deal for performers.

Reject A*I at every turn. No exceptions.

Honestly it's lack of self esteem and some form of executive dysfunction. I am trying to get myself motivated for next year though. I'm also bracing myself for the reality of putting in the work.

Seeing far too many AI garbage images out in the real world. Here's your reminder that there are no ethical uses of this crap whatsoever. I don't care how you try to justify it to yourself, or how you think it's "just okay this once". There is no good in it, and a whole lot of bad.
