Things implied to exist in the Pokemon world by offhand comments in Detective Pikachu

Oh man, OOF, but also Respect, that’s a huge ass decision to make but I think it’ll be great PR for them if they can make it better.

Props dudes 👍 best of luck

Guys, PLEASE don’t treat this as an admirable decision. What this change basically amounts to is a HUGE amount of overtime for the animators without any delays in the release schedule nor changes to the budget, it’s a decision HE can make bc it won’t personally affect him but it will affect the animators. Even worse, supporting this decision could send the message to other companies that we’ll support practices like this in the future.

It actually won’t. The actual animation is not changing, the model its being applied to is changing. Thats not what animators do, thats what artists and modellers do, the lions share of the work is theirs. Its not going to be zero work, because nothing ever is, but there are numerous professionals who responded to that tweet pointing out how its actually not a hugely difficult or undoable job for CGI, because they’re just going to apply the animation they already have to a new model and touch it up where they need to. We SHOULD support practices like this in future, we SHOULD support companies actually listening to their audiences and providing a better quality product/service as a result beforehand, not cocking it up and issuing an apology after. So lets not try and drag down this godsend of a change with phrases like “huge overtime” or imply its going to be ruinous to anyone (especially based on no evidence) because according to actual animators who work on films like this, that is simply not true.

Reblogging cuz ^^^this^^^ is IMPORTANT to know!

Thank you for explaining! I was really concerned for the animators

There’s an old Ukrainian-Canadian saying that goes “put some garlic and onion in a pan, and then decide what you’re going to cook” and honestly they’re the words I live by

You drop a small piece of food on the floor, and decide to kick it under the oven/couch/whatever because you can’t be bothered to pick it up. As you’re walking away, you hear a very quiet “Thank you!” from under it.

“No problem,” I say, the words passing out of my mouth on autopilot, before my brain engages and I freeze.

I turn, and look at the fridge. It seems to be the same fridge that was here when I moved in. 

I mean, I’m also kind of embarrassed. I never do that, I know that’s how you get roaches, but my back hurts so bad that getting up and down is next to impossible, much less bending over. “Um, you holding up okay down there?” I ask.

There was silence. 

“I know that we’re probably the only apartment in the building that doesn’t have a bug problem. That’s, well, that’s you, right?”

Again, silence. But I know I heard it.

“Listen, I can’t really bend over right now, but if you’re down there and hungry, like, there’s half a rotisserie chicken in there that’s about to go bad. I was going to throw it away, but if you could use it-”

“Yesssss. Please.” 

Well. Whatever it is, it’s well-mannered, anyway.

man i had a dream that magic was discovered in the near future

but it was like. shitty unbalanced fantasy magic. like within a few weeks people had wikis and guides up on how to glitch in immortality potions and time spells. people are just tossing homemade black holes around. i looked on the news and saw some speedrunner made it to the edge of the universe

first of all how dare you assume im literate

Since TFS wont be back for another year or two I have to make do by imagining the future jokes. 

Honest to god I could write entire books on the fucked up little micro societies that exist solely in isolated gmod servers

my buddy and I were crawling some servers on gmod one day, just dinking around and being mild nuisances. we found one server where everyone had some ridiculous rank/title–various mythical creatures and wizards and stuff. We bothered someone badly enough (probably made a big mess of barrels or something) that we got put in jail, but we weren’t really interested in playing gmod as much as just goofing off, so we hung around the server for a while. the residents were chatting pretty casually, until someone, in a frantic tone, says “Janus is coming! We need to get this place cleaned up!” Janus logs in, and he has the title of God. Someone sheepishly asks “hey what’s up Janus?” Janus replies with an ear-splittingly loud buzzing static noise that drowns every sound on the server out. me and my buddy absolutely lost our minds

justin mcelroy has said many powerful things but honestly no set of words in the english language conveys the same energy as “that’s a funny trick to play on god”

“you’re rearranging deck chairs on the titanic, my friend” is a very close second

“we can do whatever sins we want! there’s no god here to observe this” is very good too

i love this wolf so much i had to draw him….. 

Pokemon is trying to slowly convince us Pikachu was always fluffy and I for one accept this future

Did you think the mouse was just smooth and had yellow skin like a little Simpsons demon

Friend: Says something.

What I want to say: I’m really interested in what you are saying. As my friend, I support you. I want you to know I am still here, still listening, and still enjoying what we are sharing together. However as this is a topic I myself have no experience with, or little to say or offer, I’m unable to produce much in the way of input from my side. However trust that I still adore listening to you!

What comes out: Yee.

This post shot me in the face four times.

Same tho.

Actual Reasons Why People Were Dumped

is this post secret

When I was 13, me and my friends RP’d on MSN Messenger as the leaders of our local lawfirms for like a week.

I want to do this. I call Mike Morse (855-MIKE-WINS GO FOR THE WIIIIN) who wants to be Geoffrey Fieger or Sam Bernstein?

media is shit

Reminder:

If you support gun control, you’re saying you’d prefer the homeowner was unarmed here.

Hey! Just a reminder that just because a particular event went well while hinging on a particular facet, in this case guns not being as restricted, doesn’t mean the net good or bad is notably changed. I’m all for pedophiles being murdered for their crimes, don’t get me wrong - I wish no ill will on the girl or the man with the gun here. However, just because having a gun was a pro here does not wash out the harm in other situations. That’s a simple fallacy to avoid if you want to actually convince people your opinion is valid.
