Incidentally, I didn't see the video recommendation like others, but Von seeing it and mentioning it is why I peeked in.  I honestly didn't think the forum would still be going after.. nearly 20 years??

I bought my place 3 years ago now. My mother in law helped me get it using some VA bennies. Its a nice 5 bedroom 2.5 bath, 2 heated extended garage with half an acre of land. Its very pretty, i might share some non doxing pictures if interested.

In general I'm doing well now. Had some rough years. Turns out I had pretty bad PTSD. Been in therapy for about a decade, got a disability rating with the VA,  I'm much more chill an stable now. Just livin my life in a little town with lots of pets and my wife.

Granted, but your wish is understood in a way that is ruthlessly exacting, with no room for anything else outside your wish. (Example: if you wish for a new car ALL you will have is a new car. The rest of your possessions will poof away.) You can craft a wish that allows you what you want, without losing anything you want to keep, but it will take painstaking precision to do so.

I wish my home would be organized. u_u

"Granted!" the Twisted Genie® Single Use Mobile Wish Fulfillment Requisition Receiver™ says in a tinny voice from some concealed speaker you hadn't noticed. You startle as a much louder sound bursts behind you like the popping of the cork from a bottle of champagne. You can't find anything that could have made the noise when you look around, but the movement leaves you feeling a little queasy. There is a quiet hissing now, like the slow leak of air from a carefully punctured balloon. Your proprioceptive sense is thrown into chaos as your waistline begins to disappear. It's working! You rejoice as you stand and walk to a mirror. You watch as your figure shrinks approaching an average frame, and then a slimmer, sexier one. It doesn't stop, though. You watch in horror as your figure turns gaunt, malnourished, and then wraithlike. You try to scream but there is so little air in your lungs that you hardly make a noise. You panic, reaching for the reciever, for you phone, for anything but it doesn't matter. The shrinking continues unabated until it has consumed you. You are no longer fat because you no longer are anything.


I wish I knew how to make an incorruptible wish.

Quote from: VonDaab on July 06, 2025, 07:56:49 AMI don't know if folk here noticed some YT video discussing Me-tan and OS-tans in general. Noticed it the other day and that reminded me of this place.

That came up in my recommendations the other day! I haven't watched it yet but I felt like YouTube must be stalking my internet history.

OS-tan Talk / Re: os tan anime staff recruit...

It is for sure a bit strange to not have any animators on board on this project, unless you already have it planned?

Are you even aware of how difficult and time consuming animating is? Animating traditionally that is. With modern AI slop I guess one can make animation "easier". Animating by a human is probably the most challenging part of an animation process.

Typically animations are done before voice acting, at least the rough animation concept. It's easier to have a VA act to an animation, than an animator animating to a voice clip. Unless in some rare instances where the VA did contribute to the animation simply from their video recorded performance while doing the voice lines.

Nifty! Was it difficult to install?
