Social The Social Thread 3.2.1

[Z25]

When I had a fresh account I had provocative post and controversies from people I don't follow shoved into my timeline constantly.

I tried and tried to block it out but the algorithm always found something else to upset me. The only solution was to quit Twitter altogether.

Also worth noting that different people have different tolerances to this stuff. I don't know how your mental health is but I have multiple anxiety disorders and Twitter controveries freak me out even with minimal exposure. I don't want to always know who the latest terf or sex predator I've never heard of is. I need to be able to take care of myself before I worry about everyone else.
Oh. Huh.

Still not enough to make me come back.

I totally agree that if it affects your mental health, it’s not worth it. I would have left already if I had bigger problems. Around a year ago, news stopped showing up in my feed completely. Might be because of luck or maybe I didn’t scroll to much for the day( I mainly check in every few hours for the top 30 or so tweets on my timeline), or the rest of my follows bury it. When elections were around I saw way to many posts for them. Died down pretty fast after that and I’m glad. I only check the news tab if I feel any interest now, which is usually never. Especially when the headline search tab is now tailored to your interests. Which I respect that change compared to a lot of other recent ones. I’m just glad I can spend less time on it and still get good content for my interests.

Scar Vio patchnotes are liiiiiiiiiiiiive

“The water now lags the game twice as much”

min all seriousness I’ve gotta go read these.

Damn, this patch looks pretty good actually.

This stuff should've been in the game at launch, obviously. But y'know

Probably a strong indication that they really want people to play the DLC and it will likely fix and shake up gameplay even more.

I use Twitter only for following a select few accounts and occasional fan art. It's really not useful for much else.

I don't know if it's the same in other places but it doesn't help that the trending tags feature is practically useless in where I live. (people tag everything in all trending tags no matter how irrelevant they are, just so that their posts are shown to more people)

Two things.

1. Today is my Birthday. Not doing anything too crazy, but hey, I survived another year.
2. I chose to post this piece today cause it's a personal favorite, even if it isn't as popular as others. I enjoyed my take on this classic scene. You already know I had to draw Spider-Man again at some point this year.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Happy birthday my dude!

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Thanks to everyone who said happy Birthday. Got a little more art to share tomorrow. But I'll busy for a bit a few days after that.

Happy belated birthday!

Wow, what a cute design to give to such a random throwaway Hamster and Gretel villain.

I sure hope there isn't a bizarre plot twist involving her at the end of the episode that reminds me of my gender crisis.

You can't just post this and not elaborate

MatPat is doing a definitive FNaF timeline in three parts and I’m like low key really excited for part 2 because that’s the part that covers like everything the fanbase has been obsessing over for years. And he’s doing it in this really nice narrative format with explanations at the end and it works really well!

Not as excited for part 3 because that’s like… everything from the VR game forward which is all mostly really self contained and weird and not satisfying even when you figure it out. But part 2, that’s where the gold is gonna be.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Yes I can.




...Oh, fine.

"She" turned out to be a male supervillain called The Imposter who's schtick is that he wears full body costumes to disguise as different people, even when it doesn't make sense.

So it was recently announced that a live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie will be made. Twitter is complaining, obviously, but they've got the original director on board. Plus there's a chance it could have more of a basis of the original books which were very different.

Either way it'll be better than The Nine Realms.

 

[Occhi Vuoti]

Classic remix and game itself. Wanna learn the guitar after hearing this again lol

I don't know if basing them off the HtTYD books is a good idea.

I read them first and actually prefer them over the movie adaptations but the films are so much more popular that it'd be weird if they didn't cash on the public knowing them better.

One week until Cocaine Bear.

Three more weeks until 65.

Hype getting real.

Also be going to Ottawa next week to visiting my brother, sister-in-law and niece. So won't be here for a few days when next week comes.

...I probably shouldn't have brought it up, huh?

If it counts for anything I doubt any transphobia was intended, it was played like a standard shapeshifter/illusionist trickster trope but just...weirder.

Unintended messages can still be hurtful, and you can talk about anything that bothers you.

TFW Tetris is getting a movie before Mega Man.
Pretty sure the Blue Bomber has bad luck on the silver screen. Just remember when Dr. Wily got cut from Wreck It Ralph.
I'm 99.5% the Netflix MM project got cancelled or turned into a TV Show or anything.

Speaking of the MCU, the Marvels which was supposedly meant to be released in July is now delayed to November instead.

‘The Marvels’ Shifts Release Date From Summer to Fall 2023

Previously dated for July 2023, Marvels Studios revealed that 'The Marvels,' from director Nia DaCosta, will now hit theaters in November.

Looks like the "Bob Iger" effect is coming in to play.

yay more Kamala…still wish the final costume from the show stayed

 

[ZephyrZ]

I'll still apologize though, I didn't mean to make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Still, as uncomfortable as it was, I guess I felt compelled go post about it because I think it caused me to have a very tiny breatkthrough. Or maybe I'm just overthinking things as I do. Hard to tell with OCD.

Oof, I was looking forward to this but it's probably better to not rush and give it some room when we get superhero movies all the time.
