    Yeah, it's like they didn't make any attempt to remove the old shield, they just painted over it and when that faded you could see what was underneath.

    We filled a page today.

    That hasn't happened so fast since the real Trash Heap stopped being the Homestuck Troll Roleplay Thread.

    Huh, so we did.
  • Living tissue over endoskeleton.
    If whatever is going on in the real Heap right now continues, I can see some more full pages in this Heap pretty soon.

    Oh god, they both look like crap at this size.
  • Living tissue over endoskeleton.
    Yeah. Though that seems to have ended so, disregard.

    It doesn't help that the actual avatar the software generates is 50x50, but then it's displayed at 40x40.

  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I could have sworn it used to be bigger.

    I don't know, I seem to recall discussing the same 40px-vs-50px discrepancy back in the early days of IJBM2.

    Also this forum software still looks like a disembodied comments section to me.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    If I ever start a news website, I will use Vanilla to power the comments section.

    Wouldn't you have to come up with a way to let anonymous users comment?

    ...Or wait, no, maybe if people actually have to create an account, the people who say the stupidest stuff wouldn't be arsed.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I'm reminded of Mother saying that KUSA's comments sections, no matter what the story was about, would invariably have at least one comment to do with immigration.

    Also, I've been thinking about lengthening my name over here to the TVT name I use the most, except as CamelCase because I don't think Vanilla lets me add spaces.

    I see you caught the hidden "anonymous user" then.

    Go ahead, if you want to. And yeah, no spaces, or else I'd be "Central Avenue" and not "CentralAvenue".

    I'll be honest: I don't really have a preference for one over the other.

    Why am I suddenly addicted to liveblog ideas?
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I keep wanting to liveblog something, but I don't have anything to liveblog.

    ...What are some of your ideas? I promise I won't steal them :P
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    what do you THINK they are

    Lackadaisy was one, but I finished that quickly.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I still say the Cow and Chicken one is a good idea

    Unrelatedly I think I'm becoming obsessed with Penn & Teller again
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    You wouldn't like Cow and Chicken, I don't think.

    Also Boomerang is apparently insane again, as they went from the first trifecta to the second season.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I don't really ever watch Boomerang, except when my sister wants me to watch Pokemon with her.

    Boomerang is weird. The graphics have gone mostly untouched since they launched (which was in 2000) and the on-air presentation used to be tight and well-organized, but over the years it's fallen apart and they've made no attempt to remedy this. It's like it's some shoestring-budget operation now.

    I imagine they treat it as little more than a place to shove the stuff they don't show on Cartoon Network anymore.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Because that's basically what it's been for a while.

    C&C debuted on there, on 4/1/2007 (this date made me suspicious when I first read about it), as a mini-marathon with no promotion
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    It's weird, 2007 still feels like "not that long ago", but then I look at just how much time has passed and...it's almost half a decade ago.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    2007 always feels very recent.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    It does.

    The main thing that stands out about 2007 in my mind was my family's one-weekend trip to Parkersburg.

    I was interested in roads at the time, but not enough to take pictures of signs on the way there or the way back. (Partly because I didn't have my own digital camera yet)
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    It was the beginning of my VHS tape obsession.

    It was also the year I became obsessed with nostalgia and the 1990s, and spent all day long building a playlist of '90s pop songs on Imeem in between doing schoolwork.

    (I still have a playlist on Grooveshark loosely based on that one, reassembled from a copy I found in Google's cache after Imeem shut down. I'm that obsessive)
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I wish I could be as neat and tidy as you.

    ...Do I seem "neat and tidy"?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    yes, you do.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    Huh. I've never been as neat and tidy as I'd like to be.

    Though if I were, I would be a total neat freak, so maybe that's for the better.

    You know I've always felt strange about my desire to run a media conglomerate. Even more so now, that everything seems to be "converging" and big media megaliths are all about controlling everything everywhere

    I kinda want Thanksgivng

    ^ Why's that?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    It feels like something that doesn't accomplish anything. Being interested in "synergy" and such.

    Also, it feels weird that I'm half-serious about the ABC Inc stuff. The purchase that formed the company was supposedly a $20 billion deal, and for some reason "acquisitions" that would be worth far less money are almost never gone through with
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    What I find interesting about the ABC roleplay is that it evolved from pure silliness/shitposting to, as you put it, "half-serious".

    Also you haven't done one of your silly news articles/press releases in a while.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    And it started because I was in a bad mood at the time, too.

    You know the company would probably not even exist in the first place, given that Disney would basically get rid of an enormous chunk of what makes them such a media empire in the first place (but not a commercial empire; those theme parks and intellectual properties aren't leaving the fold)

    I remember when I saw you doing it and decided that pretending to run a business looked like fun. So I made up CA Marketplace without any attempt at trying to hide the fact that I was copying you.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    So I made a blog.

    I probably won't use it much, if at all.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    So, as for studios, SPE has a decent foothold, as does Lionsgate, and Summit has done relatively well and would probably be inexpensive.

    Ok, here's the easy way to decide:

    I have a deck of cards here. We'll say that ♠ means SPE, means Lionsgate, ♣ means Summit, and means...well, we'll figure that out if I draw a diamond.

    Now I shall shuffle the cards and choose one at random. Whichever one I pick, you buy.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    And it's...the two of hearts! Congratulations AU, you're buying Lionsgate!

    MGM/UA is more or less out of consideration. They have the world's largest film library or something, but their financial condition is far too sorry for my liking.

    ^Lionsgate? Not SPE?
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    ...Why did I actually do that, anyway? It would've been just as easy to simply name a random card from the deck.

    Oh well, at least I found my deck of cards.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    (You posted right as I clicked on the thread)

    Also, how do you shuffle cards?
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I just do a normal sort of riffle. I'm not especially skilled at it or anything, but it gets the cards in random order so it works well enough for me.
