My friend has been deep into the same small fandom for years and I am kind of sick of hearing about the same three characters and how amazing they are and the same stories from this short miniseries. I hope they find a new fandom soon.

Secret because I feel like a bad friend thinking this way.

I have finally found a medication combo that is helping with my bipolar. The only downside so far is that it seems to have completely killed my fandom feels. I just don't get that obsessive rush and love for media.

Overall I guess it's good, but I miss that deep into fandom feeling.

I love making secrets about fandoms I’m in that are… pretty much dead so I can find fellow fans of shows I like and talk with them, or at least be happy knowing they’re there.

I understand not enjoying really badly done CGI, especially from studios that we all know can afford good artists and give them the time to complete their work.

But the general animosity towards any use of CGI at all is annoying as hell at this point. Every single movie/show uses CGI in come capacity, even if it's just VFX colour grading, and frankly most people complaining about it don't even seem to know what is and isn't CGI half the time.

CGI creature that doesn't exist is 'CGI slop' but the comped in background doesn't get a single peep of crit because the whiners can't tell it's CGI.

(VFX studios are some of the worst treated in the industry as well, so the complaints about people's hard work that's already being undervalued just rubs me wrong).

I've been so happy to see Sister Sage finally humbled and see her plans implode. I can't say that in the main fandom spaces I hang out in though, because they'd scream "racist" at me for doing so. When did the evil "genius" manipulator get transformed into the best in positive representation for black women? Some people made the one of the worst people in the show into their "see, look at the black woman outsmarting the white guys" flag and are now upset that the smug villain just got their comeuppance.

Now that I finally got around to playing Where Winds Meet, I'm incredibly entertained by all the same sex ship bait/subtext of several side characters. Not even counting the gay and lesbian sects. Especially considering it's a Chinese game, they did manage to be very unsubtle about a lot of things.

Games thread!

Agreed.

My fave is a blend of the two, so as much of the foreground as is possible to be real and then use CG to enhance it or add in things that really can’t be made practically. And it tends to age well and look good.

I think my biggest grievance with this is people who complain about CGI animals and refusing to understand that the reason real animals are largely not used anymore is all of the abuse and torture to outright deaths that happened.

Yeah I’ll take the slightly off tiger thanks so that a real one isn’t killed for the sake of a movie.

As someone who's worked in the industry, people who shit on Avatar movies because it's all "fake cgi" baffle me so much. First of all, all movies are fake! The stuff that's made on a computer still represents years of hard work by talented professionals. Say what you will about the story but those visuals are still absolutely jawdropping.

[(Anonymous)]

Most people in my circles that are complaining about cgi animals are not wanting real animals but more animatronics or puppets. Done right they look 100x better than most cgi you see these days. The dinos in the original Jurassic Park are a good example.

I’m honestly glad I haven’t seen this. My circles still complain about low quality CGI and wish the studios would pay for better quality, but my circles tend to overlap digital arts circles. I actually find the whole thing interesting because the animators are getting royally screwed (nothing new tbh) and weirdly it seems like the audience is aware it’s the studio’s fault.
