We're now currently two weeks into 2022. How is it for everyone?

I'm not dead yet so it's off to a bad start

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

My sleep schedule is ruined, my anxiety and self loathing are peaking, I’m super bored now that I’m out of a job (it was annoying, but it gave me something to do) and all I want to do is sleep, watch Encanto, and forget I exist.

That's how I'm feeling right now.

I've also put immense, immense pressure on myself to grow up this year where if I don't get a "win" everyday I'm gonna hate myself even more. Hand I've been dealt so gotta make the most of it but a pain in the ass.

And I really, really need to leave home but I can't do it without a plan and unless it's overseas. Got almost nothing left for me in this (sometimes likeable) ****hole of a hometown.

 

[TheMightyP]

Also, I gotta go back to college very soon so cue up the "what the hell am I gonna do with my life" anxiety.

I hate being close to graduation...

First solo Batman movie in nearly a decade

the disrespect to Lego Batman tho

 

[Michael the Spikester]

the disrespect to Lego Batman tho

Not counting animation of course. Duh.

I was referring more to live-action.

 

[Z25]

Oh yeah the Troy thing is kinda funnier and more stupid at the same time when you release the company he is supporting is trying to replace voice actors basically.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

yeah that’s what I thought punk

but on a real note, looks like Warner is at it again

DC Comics is bringing back Flashpoint in 2022, and we have an exclusive preview and interview with the creative team behind Flashpoint Beyond. https://t.co/0KCYHtZ58Z pic.twitter.com/dmwk3sKnuM

amongst the continuing controversy they’ve been facing since Josstice League and Flash movie

Spoiler: a meme made by a stranger to go with it

 

[TheMightyP]

Lego Batman was the best Batman movie of the 2010s, and it was one of the 2 films of the 2010s that has Batman and was good, so uh, yeah.

Edit: It's also like one of the only good DC fims of the 2010s too

TFW Lego Batman was more true and faithful to Batman in every way possible then Batfleck ever was who came off more like the Punisher.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

My favorite Pierce of Sonic trivia Is That there's an Animated short That was done by the same team as Animaniacs.

Yeah, DC mangled him bad in the DCEU. We're never seeing Batfleck again because of how poorly they mishandled him during and behind the scenes. I heard Justice League broke a lot of people. In conclusion, **** Joss Whedon

Is that the man of the year short? With the dated CG backgrounds?

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

The Punisher (yes I mean the 2004 one) is my favourite Marvel film that isn't to do with the MCU.


Still weird as hell about John Travolta. I'm just like why?

I'm fine so far. I am trying to avoid any further news on what has been going on with the British government.

Like what Miles Edgeworth once said on Ace Attorney, the best way to describe them is that "they are not clowns, they are the entire circus."

Don't get me started on that. It's a disgrace as to how stubborn they all are.

 

[Jondolio]

Good Night My Gamers

 

[TheMightyP]

You know, it's gonna be interesting when Disney actually debuts their first legit LGBT rep (as in has an actual role in the story), considering almost every other animation/media studio already beat them to the punch.

 

[Will]

god i love fudge brownie m&ms

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Yeh, i love the 2D animation in it.

 

[Noipoi]

Yeah I watch anime

 

[Lamperouge]

Yeah I watch anime

Haruhi , of course.

it’s why he is done with Batman…and why Ray is done with WB…and why a lot of the DCEU cast members who were apart of JL and any other Snyder related project are done with WB…and why people are also done with Geoff Johns (since he’s one of the big DC names and was involved with the Cyborg bullying)…and are slowly getting done with the people running DC as a whole

Spoiler: FF7 Remake stuff

Couldn’t help myself, wanted to spoil what the heck happens to Wedge ‘cause he didn’t die when he was supposed to.

Dang, man.

Also, yeah, they’re gonna pull shenanigans with Aerith, huh.

 

[TheMightyP]

We need a Sonic Frontiers update asap. Sonic fans are arguing over inconesquential **** again.

And because I'm starving.

 

[dezeray112]

There have been rumours that the Moon Knight series for Disney+ could be set to air on March 30th:

Tales From The Drafts: ‘Moon Knight’ Release Date Revealed

When will Marc Spector be hitting the small screen?

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Guh-Huzzah! bruh, Troy Baker is into NFTs now

why

Yeahhhh I heard about this and it sucks. Honestly though, wouldn’t be the first time Troy Baker had done ****ty stuff. Like, there was that one time he threatened to flay some random woman while improving an audition for Far Cry 4. …So honestly, makes sense he doesn’t care about the environment either.

What confuses me is why he is supporting this particular NFT out of all NFTs. It’s main goal is to use AI voices to replace real actors. Andy Milonakis (Future-Worm, Adventure Time) and Charlet Chung (Overwatch) also support it, but so far they seem to have no one else on board, and understandably so. Basically every actor I have ever seen except these three hate AI voices, and selling your voice to a company so they can turn it into an AI voice is seriously frowned upon in VO. Simply put, why would companies pay for an actor when they could just use a robot that sounds just like them? Oh and also, this company legit stole voices from FifteenAI to make their NFT voices.

Frankly, I don’t think this is gonna like, put loads of people out of a job, but it’s an issue. Luckily I doubt this thing will get the support it needs, since so many VAs hate AI voices. They won’t be able to pay most of those VAs to sign on to their project. I dunno what companies think about AI voices, but I do recall Todd Howard saying that Bethesda wouldn’t use AI voices. Bethesda uses AI voices as placeholders, but the final products always use real people, since Todd believes there’s no replacement for professional voice actors (Very based, actually)

Anyway, here’s a list of cool actors who openly DONT support NFTs.

• Kellen Goff
• Yong Yea
• Belsepher Rusape Jr.
• Elsie Lovelock
• Khoi Dao
• Josh Grelle
• Casey Mongolio
• Lizzie Freeman
• Ryan Colt Levy
• Sean Chiplock
• Gianni Matragrano
• P.M. Seymour

And there’s a whooooole bunch more, obviously. I just really hope folks don’t bashing the VO community for the actions of folks like Troy Baker. The overwhelming majority of VAs I’ve seen and met hate NFTs, and I’d hate for em’ to get mixed up with the crowd that supports them.

as a self-taught, very amateur voice dude, it pleases me to see so many against this crud

 

[TheMightyP]

Y'all, quick question:
Are there any other topics to talk about that's not Sonic, Pokemon, Comics (and related media), and Cartoons/Anime on this site?

I thought about it and then I proceeded to have a stroke by thinking too hard

Oneshot is good.

This is too hard, can we talk about Sonic again?

It's better than discussions of Warhammer. Those can go on for an eternity

This obviously means the game is Forces 2.

Dunno.

Bad game.

Unrelated, but nice pfp. DQ11 is based.

NFTs. That's all I can think of.

 

[TheMightyP]

Listen to this man, Social.

He's right, listen to me. 11S is peak fiction.

NFTs. That's all I can think of.

I'd honestly, unironically would rather argue over Pokemon for the 1038103th time.

 

[GilTheGreat19]

Honest opinion
I think Legends Arceus looks good
I can somewhat agree with a few complaints, but otherwise I think it looks fine.

That’s it, that’s the post

I think the shading in certain areas look weird, and the snow area looks kinda poopy.

Other than that? It looks fine to me. Not amazing, but decent.
