@antijingoist well, a Markov chain is easy (and dumb), you could “train” one on an arduino. They’re just dumb word-follows-word frequencies and random selection

@dana this is the way

@kellogh genius is rarely appreciated in its own era @antijingoist

Rewatching the original early 90s X-Men cartoon. It's both more awful and better and closer to the comics than I remember

@giflian I want to say I was in college at the time, living in the dorms, and my roommates and I watched a lot of cartoons

@thegibson Yeah, I remember there being much better animation in general back then, not even considering something cinematic like Akira

@thegibson Ah, yeah I've got real fond memories of watching Batman: TAS and Gargoyles with my roommates in college after class before trundling off to dinner

@ann3nova i keep buying these bundles and my itch library is just an ocean of stuff now, but it’s kind of amazing

@ifixcoinops Also the fiddling is a bit like this

Just today learned the name of this song I've been hearing in clips on tiktok - "Boogie" by Brockhampton. This beat goes so hard it needs a content advisory

If we'd had this beat when I was in high school, we all would have died

A neighbor just got a big pile of mulch delivered and weirdly it smells like dude aftershave or cologne?

Like, not entirely unpleasantly, but dudely that enough I was like "there's a stranger in the house" as the vapors wafted in through my window

@joshua Oh that might be? It's kind of heavily piney & earthy but not... er... very composty or mulchy

holy shit how is the album "Fire" by Electric Six over 20 years old? what the hell, when did that happen?

I mean, the song "Gay Bar" is only allowed to be 5 years old, maximum
