@lynnesbian incredible stuff, great work! it's inspired me to think about some edits for my in-group popular films (twilight, national treasure, hackers)... the fact that you have to restrain yourself for the first half is SO funny to me.

I'm thinking also of good framing devices that let you get away with more - Noodle's "lost VHS tape" is a good bit, you could also do "whoops I accidentally downloaded a foreign release" (lets you sneak in a bunch of subtitle gags), or "well it turns out this is a dodgy camrip" (make the screen shake increase more and more as the movie goes on)

i've been keeping this a secret for half a year, but i can finally come clean now.

i spent months editing the entire star wars movie. at first i made subtle changes (colour correction, fake shot/reverse shot scenes, etc.), but as the movie went on, my edits got more and more absurd (extra powerpoint transition wipes, doom door open/close sound effects, etc.).

i can't upload the full thing for obvious reasons, but here's one of my favourite parts: the death star scene. spoilers for a movie that came out nearly four decades ago

(EDIT: now available to download)

@halcy @dada78641 I love all-in aggro builds for competitive games. Time was, you could just throw every card with Charge into a Hunter deck in Hearthstone and hit legend. It feels like it shouldn't work every time and yet it does. A healthy aggro faction sets an important minimum bar that "fucking around with some kind of engine or whatever" must clear

@davidrevoy I did a work presentation during an AI "hackathon" just a few weeks ago, where I presented my (all human) efforts and then explained that my coding companion was a rubber duck. QuackGPT has many benefits - it is environmentally friendly, inexpensive, water-proof, and comes in a variety of colors. I even taped a little paper necktie onto mine mid-presentation to upgrade him to "agent" status.
