flash games actually raised me more than my parents did and im genuinely gonna miss them
You don’t have to miss them, you literally can keep playing them, they are being archived.
Also Newgrounds has been preparing for this for years now and they made their own free software that can still run Flash games.
if you can’t find your favorite game there, try bluemaxima’s flashpoint! they’ve archived over 70,000 flash games! :)
Scooby Doo (2002) dir. Raja Gosnell
you know what there were a lot of jokes in this movie that went over my head as a kid
that’s because this movie was filmed as an R-rated (18+) parody, but at the last moment before release, warner bros decided it would loose them too many fans of the cartoon for children and sully the good name of Scooby Doo and had the film re-edited down to PG. why do you think so much smoke was coming out of the mystery machine? why shaggy’s girlfriend is called mary jane? daphne and velma were lesbians and one of the first instances of cgi costumes on human actors was used to raise the neckline on their blouses. Freddy was played as gay with only the scene where they admit it deleted.
if you don’t know about this, seriously look it up. here’s a very toned-down wiki article but there’s much more out there. this film sounds like it was written for tumblr ten years early
Everyone: It is going to be on us NOT to hand out money to studios who do this. This is WRONG and WE have to send a message with our wallets.
HE LITERALLY SAID TO NOT USE HIS VOICE IN PROJECTS ON HIS WILL
harsh truth: Boomers just showed up
as in showed up to a place
asked hey you hiring and if they were then
they just trained you
for the job
just like that
an old roommate told me a story about how in the early 90s her mom showed up to this place to interview for a secretary job
guy from an office across the hall pops his head out and asks if she's here for them, a computer position
she says no nope nu uh I know nothing about computers and he goes WE'LL TRAIN YOU PLEASE WE NEED PEOPLE and yanks her off her feet and through the door
today she's a highly sought after computer technician making bank
the point is that once the economy was so amazing that you could get fired from most jobs and have a new one the following week or even the next day
love that he keeps doing this. genuinely my favorite fucking bit
he has had like ten “final movies” and everytime i get sad about it. and then he makes another one. fucking love this guy
‘DNAde’ - FOUND: Artifact from the Future (Wired Magazine - March 2002)
I have 3 more years to find a bottle of this and drink it
Oh, good, now it's not just a death hazard to the driver, but a death hazard to anyone on the road when one bump loosens one connection in that one cable that connects everything, and the entire stainless steel murder box with a skull crushing marble dash just does...whatever happens when you can all power to a murder box going 80 on the highway.
You know what happens when that one loose connection gets hit with a drop of water when you're taking your murder box on a drive on a rainy day? Fire.
Fire all the way through the single, giant cable that connects everything with no safety switches, grounding wires, fuses, or circuit breakers.
I truly cannot imagine how horrific it's going to be when that one loose connection catches fire in that stainless steel box, and someone can't get out of that box because the doors are electrical for some fucking reason.
ALT20 years ago, I got in a (friendly) public spat with Chris Anderson, who was then the editor in chief of Wired. I'd publicly noted my disappointment with glowing Wired reviews of DRM-encumbered digital devices, prompting Anderson to call me unrealistic for expecting the magazine to condemn gadgets for their DRM:
https://longtail.typepad.com/the_long_tail/2004/12/is_drm_evil.html
I replied in public, telling him that he'd misunderstood. This wasn't an issue of ideological purity – it was about good reviewing practice. Wired was telling readers to buy a product because it had features x, y and z, but at any time in the future, without warning, without recourse, the vendor could switch off any of those features:
https://memex.craphound.com/2004/12/29/cory-responds-to-wired-editor-on-drm/
I proposed that all Wired endorsements for DRM-encumbered products should come with this disclaimer:
WARNING: THIS DEVICE’S FEATURES ARE SUBJECT TO REVOCATION WITHOUT NOTICE, ACCORDING TO TERMS SET OUT IN SECRET NEGOTIATIONS. YOUR INVESTMENT IS CONTINGENT ON THE GOODWILL OF THE WORLD’S MOST PARANOID, TECHNOPHOBIC ENTERTAINMENT EXECS. THIS DEVICE AND DEVICES LIKE IT ARE TYPICALLY USED TO CHARGE YOU FOR THINGS YOU USED TO GET FOR FREE — BE SURE TO FACTOR IN THE PRICE OF BUYING ALL YOUR MEDIA OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AT NO TIME IN HISTORY HAS ANY ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY GOTTEN A SWEET DEAL LIKE THIS FROM THE ELECTRONICS PEOPLE, BUT THIS TIME THEY’RE GETTING A TOTAL WALK. HERE, PUT THIS IN YOUR MOUTH, IT’LL MUFFLE YOUR WHIMPERS.
Wired didn't take me up on this suggestion.
"The point here – the point I made 20 years ago to Chris Anderson – is that this is the foreseeable, inevitable result of designing devices for remote, irreversible, nonconsensual downgrades. Anyone who was paying attention should have figured that out in the GW Bush administration. Anyone who does this today? Absolute flaming garbage.
Sure, Zaslav deserves to be staked out over and anthill and slathered in high-fructose corn syrup. But save the next anthill for the Sony exec who shipped a product that would let Zaslav come into your home and rob you. That piece of shit knew what they were doing and they did it anyway. Fuck them. Sideways. With a brick."
how to draw arms ? ?
holy fuck
holy fuck is right… but… does it work with legs???

^^^^^^^^^^
I NEARLY CHOKED
ENJFDFNFATFVFDF
finally. i can be accurate
This is too fucking great to not reblog

BIG MACHO
LMAOOOOOO
Okay but for anyone who legit wants to know how to calculate it correctly:
The elbow joint on average rests a couple inches higher than the navel, so if you measure how long the distance is from the middle of the shoulder to that point then you have the length of the upper and fore arms!
So if anyone’s wondering about legs too, the simplest rule of thumb is that the length from the top of the leg to the knee is equal to the distance between the top of the leg and the bottom of the pectorals:
And I wanna stress that when i say “top of the leg” i’m not talking about the crotch (please don’t flag me tumblr it’s an anatomical term) i’m talking about the point where the femur connects to the pelvis, which is higher up on the hips:
It’s easier to see what I’m talking about in this photo of a man squatting:
So yeah if you use that measurement when using this technique you should get fairly realistically proportioned legs:
But remember! messing with proportions is an important and fun part of character design! Know the rules first so you can then break them however you please!
HOW THE HELL DID I FIND THIS POST OMG
Licherally in the midst of drawing a guy and crying at how bad the arms are. Thanks Tumbles
I only ever saw the part where people started drawing the limbs outrageously long and genuinely wanted to know how to fix that, so I’m really thankful to see the rest.
Reblogging for my art buddies!
This is super helpful for me now :D
I totally didn’t spend half an hour trying to draw someone holding a coffee cup in a way that didn’t make it look like they’d dislocated about two elbows and a wrist right before seeing this.
