While the number of asks to be added to my starter packs has gone down recently I do appreciate this feature! (Btw, I maintain some 30+ VTuber Start Packs if you weren't already aware of them!)

Thanks! It was a great demo, and it has a lot of potential. I really enjoyed myself, and I'll be buying the full release once complete.

4/4 Anyway. To sum. I'm immunocompromised, and next week is school season. I'll be masking up in crowded areas as flu cases climb. And there is one person who will take the deepest offence to my existence, because they already do whether I'm wearing a mask or not. Anti-vaxxers. Sheesh. ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

3/ And I tell yas... it was everything I could do just to NOT put on my mask right then and there. Just to trigger this individual further. I didn't. It reminded me of how some dogs will be nice but turn feral if they see a guy wearing a hat. Somehow, this man had been abused by a masked person.

2/ No one was wearing a mask. But he'd seen me wearing a mask before, and I know him to be an anti-vaxxer. His issue wasn't that I wasn't wearing a mask (it was a rather empty morning), but that I have othertimes worn a mask... ...which was an offence to his freedoms. His complaint was about masks.

I'm immunocompromised, and it's nearing school season. Not quite yet, but soon. At the coffee shop I regular, I will "mask up" if there is too big a tight crowd or if there are many children. More comfortably, I usually don't. Today, some guy viscerally complained because I wasn't wearing a mask.

As an insight to my persona: Back in 2006, I was the only person in a packed theatre to be laughing hard through the latter third of "A fost sau n-a fost?" (released as "12:08 East of Bucharest" abroad). That film is an incredibly slow burn, but I was tickled at its escalation.

I bet the second book of Tezuka animation regarding "how to draw animals" was an awkward choice.

TEZUKA SCHOOL of ANIMATION Vol. 2 Animals in Motion by Tezuka Productions Preface Welcome to the second book in the Tezuka School of Japanese Animation. Whereas the first book focused on the basic aspects of animation and how objects move, the second book focuses on how to animate life-like animals. Why animals? Because despite the amazing improvements in animation technology and the ever-advancing capability of CG animation, one rarely sees impressive animation of animal movement. This may be, in part due to the fact that the appearance of animals, particularly in TV animation, has declined in recent years. Since that has become the trend of the times, we have tried to set this book apart by focusing entirely on animals in the sincere hope that when animals do happen to appear, a life-like vitality will be added to their movement. Certainly, this book will be of much use to non-beginners as well. Ultimately, we believe that this book will help revive an appreciation of animals in animators everywhere, and hopefully we'll see more of them in future animation.

The fun thing about living in southern Ontario is that there is never a shortage of fish restaurants to dine at. I tried making dinner tonight, but one setback was all the push I needed to go order out for a 2-piece halibut and fries. I have a weakness for tartar sauce.

What's funny/sad/amusing is that during and after the pandemic, I strove to live a life worthy according to CGP Grey's "Spaceship You": 'Rest space should be for rest.' But here I am, laptop on lap, headphones on cryosleep, and I am just soooooo relaaaaaxed. This is my writing space.

Somewhat bed-bound and in lethargic recovery, I was able to make today productive by working on my in-progress novel which I started pre-pandemic. Even if I never finish this (which I hope I do), it feels good to keep striving toward a resolution... and potential publication.

I think I'm lucky. I gave up on Star Wars after Jedi. So I haven't really cared for it since about 1984 or so. (But Republic Commando was a good Xbox title.) Anyway. It really confuses this oldtimer hearing everyone praise Endor. "Why does everyone like the Ewok planet?" I keep asking.

I was looking forward to going to the Toronto con, but slept bad and felt under the weather on departure. Decided not to go. Home now, and it feels like I caught a fever? I'll be watching my health. Bleh. I feel I made the wise decision though. That con would've done me in in this state.

On your recommendations (and thank you), I went and downloaded KdenLive because it was recommended online as an easy-to-use starter system. I have an intro/clip project I've been ambitious to complete, so your nudge will hopefully push me past that finish line. I appreciate all your suggestions.

Excellent suggestion and thank you for the guiding hand. I can easily find clippable moments in any stream. How do you suggest I get a raw clip (like, yt-dlp? maybe?) Which program should I send that raw clip into?

It's whelming. The beauty of OBS is that once its set up, it's effectively a one-button unit. Which clip program do I use? How do I segment certain videos for time-specified use? How do I add subtitles using just one program? Can effects be used or do they need plugins? So many variables.

I recognize that I am very good at some things. And I acknowledge that I have no capacity for others. ... Clips. Compilations. They hurt my brain. They are my rocket science, they are my kryptonite.

I am in an incredibly good mood. Like: "bouncing to the music that's playing in my head, and without a worry of the world" type good mood. And it's so rare. And it's so amazing. I'm just happy living in this exact moment, and I wish that all my days were this fulfilling. :)

I recommend hitting up thrift stores (although at the start of a school season that might be tough). Those are filled with tons of last years' books from students not needing them anymore.

I was minutes away from firing up a nothing stream where nothing of consequence would happen... ... and as I was setting it up, a friend contacted me to ask if I'd hang out online for a bit. I don't get many "let's hang out" requests, so I shut down my stream and we just talked. It was nice.

Some advice: When you all buy the Sinners disc for your collection, make sure you check out the deleted scenes... if for no other reason than you get treated to additional music that didn't get into the film. (The scenes are subjective. But that music is mandatory.)
