I'd forgotten all about this and am glad it's up on YouTube for posterity: In the twilight year of the 2000s anime boom, ADV hosted the first (and only) American Anime Awards show.

While this is very, very cool, it should be noted that a lot of anime still has their key animation done on paper and then scanned in for digital ink and paint.

For those unaware, SAG-AFTRA is entering it's 7th straight month of striking interactive projects for enforceable AI rights. SAG-AFTRA contracts are protected by their legal staff--I can't afford a lawyer without the union. I am only working on projects signed to a SAG-AFTRA INTERIM AGREEMENT.

reminder to not piss yourself off by looking at Fiverr voice actors’ rates on day 200-something of the interactive strike

So got into the beta for Source Connect 4 a few days ago effectively giving me a month long trial of Source Connect & so far, I gotta say I'm pretty impressed with how quick it is to get up & running. Just log in, no port forwarding & make whatever tweaks you need & it's good to go.

No other response is to be accepted. And now... for the others.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Sung karaoke tonight for the first time in 7 months. I missed it so much but feels good to be singing again after a long recovery period.

In case you wondered if we were still on strike after six months, and ESPECIALLY if you didn’t know we were on strike at all. After six months.

If you're a performer working on SL6 and non-union projects during the strike and this doesn't shake you to your core, you probably have no idea how bad things are out there and you should really learn. We need all hands on deck and everyone to push back. And we need it NOW.

It has been 194 days since @sagaftra.org actors started striking video games. In that time, we have signed over 150 games to Interim agreements, proving that our demands are more than reasonable. But the bargaining partners still refuse to give us anything more than lip service. (cont'd)

I know people have (understandably) said that they're disappointed the SAG-AFTRA video game strike is still going on. So am I. But we need to be clear here--it's *entirely* the fault of the companies. Don't believe me? Here's what they're currently trying to force on us. I'd *never* agree to this.

Canada is arguably putting more direct pressure on elected Republicans than any U.S.-based group or organization including the Democratic Party www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

apropos of nothing, if you’ve never been to the japanese american national museum and you’re local to LA, i highly suggest visiting their permanent exhibition on internment camps. really read about the words/actions of the politicians who tried to justify their existence. People still remember.

Think I have a fun idea for my next Chillin' panel though you probably won't see or hear about it for a good 6-7 months & I probably won't start actually working on it until around May or June.

It's hard to express how much is going on here and what a big deal it is. We've been building toward this for over 8 years now, and we genuinely built a video game history research tool that is usable by anyone. We're democratizing game research through a free, no-bullshit, human-curated resource.

Very tempted to double dip even though I still have the first release Funi put out way back in 2011. Summer Wars is very special to me as it came out during a time where my interest in anime was waning & great storytelling from Hosoda managed to get my attention & keep me invested in anime.
