Hey, all! It’s me, that Dan guy of questionable relevance. Finally got a code to enter, so time to begin again following the death of Twitter.

We all agree that these "dubs" suck.
But once again, that's not the core problem here. The quality will inevitably improve, though I personally doubt to the quality of a dub made by actual humans who care.
The problem is that these exist AT ALL. They're an offense to art, and always will be.

Welp, a second AI dub on Amazon has apparently been found, and it's a show that already had a perfectly normal (albeit non-union) dub: No Game No Life.

Away on a three day convention in Birmingham, for context on my brief writing hiatus. The time away to rest and refresh my brain, sharing goofy times with some dear friends, if exactly what I self-prescribed after weeks of work and stress over my lacklustre output this month.

I struggle to think of someone for either Seida or Valkner. Still, I do have a few fan-casts in mind, if only for writing immersion.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! Feel free to come back to this one if you're busy today (or claim this is a work thing and use it to hide in the bathroom for a few minutes—I'm not judging!)
Fan-cast 1 character (or more) from your story. Doesn't have to be a modern celeb!

Hmmmmm. Tentatively, I’m there. Curious to see what inspiration they’ll be taking for the story - I’m thinking it could be some kind of OoT/Wild hybrid.

This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI.
It was:
Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing.
it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.

So, it’s almost the time of year that we crack on with #Novelmber. I’m determined to finish the first draft of Beyond The Crystal Sky.
Yet here I find myself in London, taking a two day trip for @sonicconuk.com
Priorities are a wonderful thing 😂
I’ll start on Monday, and have two extra days.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

I was doing a movie with Tsui Hark (and Oliver Stone's producer, A. Kitman Ho), back in 1997. A live action adaption of "Lupin III", that we would have done with Jim Carrey. Alex Ho (lovely, lovely man) ended up losing the rights, so it never happened. Craziest screenplay I ever wrote! #scriptsky
