I noticed on your post of trans girl movies (thank you btw!) that you'd created your own subtitles for Surrender Dorothy and how-- how did you do that? Did you use a certain software? How did you incorporate it into the film file?

I currently create captions but I'm restricted to the company's software so I've never actually added them on my own/to my own files, but I'd love to be able to create subs for myself and others. If you have time, I would hugely hugely appreciate some advice. If not, that's okay, have an awesome day. (I'm off to watch some movies now lol)

Yeah! It was my first time doing it!

I used Subtitle Edit. Which is free and open source. I didn't like it at first, but it actually kinda rocks (I say while having zero points of comparison). It has a semi built in video player and waveform viewer, so you can pretty easily sync things up.

And I didn't REALLY incorporate them into the video file (depending on how you mean it). I'm sure I could have (MKV files are capable of holding non hard coded subtitles), but I just left the subtitles as a separate file. As long as your SRT file has the same file name (other than the extension) as your video file then most video players (like VLC or MPC-HC) will load it up automatically.

Someone had already uploaded a (lower quality) copy of Surrender Dorothy to YouTube too, so I ripped the automatically machine generated subtitles from that to use as a starting point. I'm not sure how much time it saved though. Obviously it misinterpreted a lot of things, but even when the text and timing was technically right it would merge lines together or split them up weirdly. Tho I mean even my version of the subtitles are still jank in places. I might do another pass eventually to fix up a few things.

It was a cool project! I'd be into doing it again, but most movies already have professionally made subtitles (that can be easily found on google for pirating) and it's time consuming enough that it'd have to be for something that I really love and rewatch often.

Time for more rambling about BRC!! This time about post game events, focused on the potential idea of Felix and Red as separate characters.

Putting this under a cut because of course my rambling got way longer than I intended, loool

At first after finishing the game, I liked the idea of what I'd call "Red Felix" (i.e. Felix and Red are the same person, which is probably what the game intended of course). I also like the idea that he manages to put the cyberhead helmet he had as Red back together, and wears that as his new mask while going around as a BRC writer from now on.

But! Honestly now I'm liking the idea of Red and Felix being two separate people (i.e. take the post game character select at face value) a lot more. So then, how I'm thinking it could work is this:

They both share some memories, but throughout the game there's parts that only Felix remembers and others than only Red remembers. Effectively it's to a point where they've become two different people.

Red would have been an exact copy of Felix, but I'm imagining like, whatever the Flesh Prince did to save Felix in that cyberhead didn't 100% get rid of the usual cyberhead systems. We see an error message (right before we start playing as Red) saying there's no AI to load. My perspective is that normally a person's mind is copied, maybe by interfacing/connecting the original head with the cyberhead or to a special computer. Then once the copy is ready, it's uploaded to their cyberhead (if it isn't already copied directly onto there) before it replaces their real head.

In this case there was no AI to load... but then Felix's mind is detected by whatever systems are left in the cyberhead, leading it to run a backup protocol that started trying to record/copy Felix! So there were some parts still at least partially recording/saving Felix's mind. But due to the situation (and probably some shoddy coding tbh) it didn't work as it normally would have. Hence the differences in memories, and also sometimes Red and Felix switching for complete control of the body for some memories.

You might say, c'mon, not even shoddy coding could do that!! And I say to you, my day job is as a software engineer/programmer, I have seen a ton of shoddy code doing some jank-ass stuff that it really shouldn't have until it did. I can assure you, I would not be surprised if something like this happens due to hastily-modified AI code. :P

Anyways, after the game, Felix gets Red-as-a-cyberhead fixed up, thinking he can just use it as a helmet from now on, like I mentioned with Red Felix above.

But surprise! Turns out Red survived, he's been hanging out in the pieces until they were brought back together!! "Hey Felix, man, it's great to finally meet you in person!! :D"

And they probably find Faux's body in a dumpster or something and it's like, "Well he's definitely not using it anymore so you can have it I guess."

Also Red jokes that if somehow Faux survived and decided to get his body back after all, he's gonna have to fight Red for it!! Felix politely asks him to not jinx it, considering everything they've all been through, lol

Also-also I admittedly just like, the idea of Felix and Red being different people, but also getting along well enough that they start seeing each other as brothers. Which I guess they are? Kinda? They are almost literally twins in terms of mind/memories, just with their own differences too.

Extra Silly and Not Based on Too Much Canon: I like the idea of Felix being the responsible brother and Red being the gremlin brother. Maybe that's just me. :P

Bonus: Whether Red Felix or Felix and Red, Felix lets DJ Cyber keep his old mask. We can say it's symbolic! Felix moving on from his past as a solo All City writer, to a better future with a whole All City crew of friends!

But also, I would like DJ Cyber to keep The Cool Mask because I think it looks better on him than it did on Felix, loool

Decided i wanted to Talk about some of the Games that released in 2023 i played.

Gonna mainly focus on some smaller games i really enjoyed or found interesting in some way.

Cassette Beasts

Starting with what might well be one of if not my favourite game of the year, Cassette Beasts.

It's a Creature Collection RPG in which you are stranded on a mysterious island called New Wirral and adventure across the island both to better understand the nature of the island itself and to potentially find a way off the island. In doing so you meet several companions, one of which will be accompanying you at any point, as well as a community of people consisting of other castaways and their descendents. You also encounter various monster that you can record using cassette tapes to then transform into to fight back. As you journey with your companions you also unlock the option to Fuse with them during battle giving you access to thousands of monster fusions to use in battles.

The whole game honestly feels well thought out and just feels satisfying to play and clearly designed by people who play and understand Creature Collection/Monster Taming RPGs. A simple example of this in my eyes is the simple fact that you cannot accidentally knock out the monster you are trying to record, this games equivalent of capturing.

Something the Devs, among other things, talk about in this Steam blogpost about design and expectations for those curious.

Have i mentioned yet that the soundtrack is amazing and dynamically adds vocals during fights under certain conditions ?

The composer Joel Baylis uploaded a few tracks on YouTube if people are curious.

I could probably keep writing about Cassette Beasts and might need to do a seperate post in the future but for now, if you can only check out one game from this list, go check out Cassette Beasts, it's great.

Chants of Sennaar

For something more Relaxed, theres the Puzzle game Chants of Sennaar. In it you are dropped at the bottom of a tower inhabited by multiple groups of people without any direction and the slight catch that you don't speak any of their languages. As you make your way up this Tower of Babel alike you therefore have to figure out the language of the people you meet and use it to solve puzzles and sometimes translate between groups. It's a relatively short game, it personally took me about 7 hours, but a very interesting experience nonetheless.

Shadows of Doubt

Shadows of Doubt mixes the world of Noir Detectives, a Cyberpunk setting and randomly generated cities. You set out to solve cases of murder, stolen items, infidelity or plain simple Information gathering. In doing so you often sneak around and break laws as the enforcers are everything but cooperative. All this with the eventual goal to earn enough social credit for your Detective to retire.

Despite the randomly generated nature of it the game is surprisingly good at generating coherent cases with enough leads to provide you something to work with or even sometimes giving you red herrings to trip over as the citizens lives are constantly being simulated around you. With that said the game is still in early access and random generation does have it weirdness sometimes, still it's a fun time and if you can tolerate and find the fun in abit of jank every now and then, worth a look.

Laika: Aged trough Blood

Gonna preface that this one comes with a Content Warning for it's Story for violence, blood, drugs, and strong language (Taken from it's Steam Page)

Getting to the actual game thought the Devs describe it as a Motorvania, a 2D Metroidvania on a motorbike which hits the nail on the head pretty well. Set in a Post-apocalyptic World oppressed by a fascist bird empire. You play as Laika, a coyote mother who bears a curse passed on trough her family that prevents her from dying. At the start of the game her tribe chooses to actively bring the Fight against the birds after one of their children is murdered and crucified with their own guts by the Birds.

The game then takes Laika trough the World on her quest to put a end to the oppression trough the Birds, making use of her curse which prevents her from dying.

On a gameplay level it has you biking trough the world shooting bird soldiers along the way, often treating encounters as something that feels closer to a puzzle in which you have to navigate the fire from the soldiers while returning fire and trying not to crash, since in this game any hit means death.

Similarly enemies also typically die within a shot or two and the game doesn't tend to feel too punishing as respawn points are pretty frequent.

It all comes together in a world that has a Somber Beauty to it. It's all in all a pretty fun and somewhat emotional experience, although with the caveat that the game is hard and does require a certain resistance to frustration. That said, as you do make your way trough a big group of enemies dodging bullets and using the sides of your bike as cover, the game does feel rewarding to play.

Gonna stop this Post here, although i may make more of them in the future as i found i kinda enjoyed collecting my thoughts like this and there's plenty of more Games i played i can talk about.

That said, if anyone has any games of their own they found interesting or think deserve some extra eyes, pleas do tell I'm always looking for interesting games to play

#indie games #video games #Turns out i kinda enjoy putting my rambling thoughts into Text like this #Also play Cassette Beasts the Game is Great #cassette beasts #shadows of doubt #Laika Aged trough Blood #chants of sennaar

mkay i have done So much digging around for kidpix stuff.. kidpix deluxe doesnt run on windows 10, surprise surprise, ill set up an XP virtualmachine tomorrow to play with that.. kidpix deluxe 4 runs in a resolution small enough to be annoying but bigger than 620x480 so windows compatibility cant make it fit right. and kidpix 3d just does NOT have a cracked version anywhere as far as i can tell. you Have to use the free trial. at least it doesnt ask for credit card information, and i put in a bogus address.

but even then kidpix 3d feels... weird. it feels too Clean? its not Jank Enough. its hard to describe, but im really not a fan. it has Some quality of life improvements over tuxpaint (easier stickers) but its also lacking a lot of features that make tuxpaint fun to play with.

so overall i think my favorite kids drawing software is still tuxpaint. plus its free forever, so you dont need to worry about getting a virus trying to pirate it xD i will still play with original kidpix deluxe tomorrow though. its a good excuse to learn how to use an XP virtualmachine, and i can run other software ive been wanting to play with on it too. one of which includes the software for the fisher price digital arts and crafts studio, when i finally buy one of those! my computer doesnt have a disc drive but the software is uploaded on archive.org still. i swear it worked on my win7 machine as a kid tho, so i miiight be able to get it to work on my native windows 10, but im not holding my breath. my reviews of kids computer drawing software must continue...

I don’t normally do long posts about my interests on here but with the mtg 30th anniversary announcements that happened today I was trying to check them on twitter and saw that they for some reason decided to not put the announcements in a thread but by responding to one post multiple times. This was really confusing to sus out the full timeline chronologically for me and my friends so I watched the actual video on youtube after it was uploaded and made a post organizing it all in order on discord and thought I’d put it here as well. As well as speculate and ramble on things I found of interest, especially on the vorthos side of things. All the stuff in order and thoughts about them under the read more:

2023 - The next set, Wilds of Eldraine, will start the next major story arc which will span the next three years of magic and be split into three smaller one year arcs starting with the “omen paths.”

Jurassic Park cards are coming to collector and set boosters of Lost caverns of Ixalan. At least a thematic crossover, neat.

Khans of Tarkir, the entire original draft set, is coming to Arena! That means fetch lands will be on Arena finally which is wild, plus a lot of nostalgic cards for me since khans block is when I started playing standard instead of just random tabletop jank with friends. The rest of the block won’t be on there but still kind of excited.

2024 - Ravnica Remastered and Ravnica Clue were both unexpected, interesting sounding at least. Dominaria remastered was a really fun set to draft and unlike time spiral it’s actually affordable and still around to be played. Hopefully RR follows suit. Ravnica Clue will also be typing into the first set proper of the year Murders of Karlov Manor, which also means it’s the first time in this post I can rant about Vorthos stuff!

First thing of note, no Teysa in any of the art revealed so far which is concerning, hope she’s not dead! Second, we’ll be seeing a Ravnica set without a guild focus, which after March makes some sense as large chunks of the under city were upheaved to the surface, the golgari guild might be... just straight up dead? And all the other guilds are recovering from what happened. The line up of characters on the above splash are are interesting though as we (going from left to right) seem to have a new character in the form of an Izzet Viashino; Aurelia, leader of the Boros; the totally inconspicuous Massacre Girl; and in center a new character who seems to be a detective using what appears to be Dimir memory magic, I knew the Boros and Azorious had detectives and while it makes sense to see one in Dimir, I believe this is the first time we’ve seen one under Dimir employ, at least based on the magic; next to him is Judith, a high ranking Rakdos performer; and finally the gobbo, the myth, the legend Krenko!

After that is going to be a set of Fallout franchise commander decks themed after the various in universe factions which joins the list of crossovers I was not expecting.

Then the next one I have a fair bit to say about, Outlaws of Thunder Junction.

Old Rutstein from innistrad has apparently crossed some Omen paths in this Wild West inspired set to put up shop. Not the legend I was expecting but I’m a sucker for Innistrad rep! The real big hitters come from the next image though:

In a line-up I never would have expected we have some ambiguous and not so ambiguous silhouettes, going from left to right again we have (heavy speculation) a large tinybones the trinket thief; more speculation, a gorgon who I dearly hope is the return of Vraska and if we’re very blessed, Jace next to her, but nothing about that person’s silhouette screams any character we know of so I’ll keep my hopes in check (but damn do I want them to return rootin and tootin if they aren’t going to be coming back on Ixalan); front and center is Oko, returning in the last set I would’ve expected and even getting the extra splash art over the gang; next to him is a new character with some claw weapons I’ll have the image of below this rant; and finally TINY RAKDOS? No idea what he’s doing outside of Ravnica but that’s unmistakably him.

The new character looks cool, and they said they did cultural consulting to avoid negative or offensive representation in the set so time will tell how well they choose to represent a fantasy version of a very dark time in history.

After that during the summer we’ll get Modern Horizons 3 which will have double faced cards. Nothing too much to say about it other than hopefully they reprint the other fetches and there’s a lady in some of the promotional art with hydra imagery that looks familiar but I can’t quite place. I want to say it’s something relating to progenitus though?

There’s going to be an Assassin’s Creed set of cards that, from how they described it, will be sold in what sounds like reskinned theme boosters for all the different games and times those games cover, which will be a new approach for universes beyond stuff. Also it will be modern legal.

Bloomburrow comes next and I adore the aesthetic! I read a lot of Rewall in my teens, I’ve been reading some of the mouse guard graphic novels when I get a chance to pick one of the books up recently. Woodland animal people is my jam. There’s a squirrel necromancer in some of the promotional art and a confirmed return of raccoons in black border! It will also feature the start of the second year long mini arc of the upcoming larger narrative, “dragon storm.”

And to wrap the year up of paper releases will be a new horror inspired plane, (also my jam) called Duskmorne.

Wrapping things up in general for the year is Pioneer masters on arena, which they’ve said will catch explorer up to all the major cards in pioneer needed to match paper tournament decklists, etc. Also they’ll be working towards bringing fnm and other lgs events into giving bonuses on Arena, such as experience, when you attend them which is something that’s good to see finally.

2025 - Starts with Innistrad remastered, I’m basic, I like Innistrad, I hope this set slaps but as with this and everything to come we don’t have much more info than a loose idea of what it will be themed after and a name/ code name.

First real set is “tennis” which is going to be a multiplaner death race spanning three different planes. Which is honestly not a concept I ever would’ve expected but the part that get my brain whirring is the fact that the three planes it will take place on will be planes we’ve already seen before, two that have had full standard sets but no returns before, and one which has been featured on cards but never given a set before. Speculating on what those could be is wild because the sets without returns could be anything from newer planes like Amonkhet to Capenna, to older planes like Ulgrotha or Mercadia. The third plane though has a lot of fun possibility, they could troll us with finally showing more of Vrynn, it could have Regatha, Shandalar, Segovia, or some other niche random plane. My most out there bet though is based on one of the concept arts for the dragsters having a spirit and skull motif possibly being Ulgrotha based, anything past that, sky’s the limit.

Afterwards is “ultimate frisbee” and we’re finally returning to Tarkir! They stated they’ll be looking to join the best of what people loved about khans and dragons and since dragons of tarkir was a major part of what made me take up the game, I’m excited.

Then is the big summer set for Final Fantasy. They said it will be a tent-pole set like lotr was this year which means a full draft set, it will also be coming to arena, plus presumably commander decks etc., and they’ll be making cards covering all the mainline numbered final fantasy titles. (so no crystal chronicles rep 😔) To be honest I’m really surprised they’re going to try and cover that much in a single set with a couple supplementals. But the thing that was most exciting to me about the announcement was that the arena lead stated that following what they saw with lotr, they expect it to bring in a lot of new players and want to create things on arena that better suit newer players playstyles, since 1v1 competitive is seen to be off putting for a lot newcomers. So they are hoping to implement content either around the time the set comes out or in the year following with some amount of single player content, achievements, and if possible multiplayer modes, which has been asked for for so long at this point and said it wasn’t in the cards, I hope they can deliver on it.

After that starts the final miniarc and beginning of the end of the next major arc with “Volleyball,” a space opera inspired plane, the concept art seems interesting, no idea what to expect overall.

Next is “wrestling” which will be the return to Lorwyn/Shadowmoor. Honestly so glad to hear there will be a return, the vibes and aesthetic of the original block is sublime, I adore it. Going to be interesting to see how they cram so many sets worth of ideas and identities into a single set but they also stated they’ll be taking the kamigawa approach so who knows how much they’ll keep themselves beholden to.

2026 - The two last sets they announced are in vision design, there’s nothing they could show or talk much of outside of basic “here’s the idea.”

First is “Yachting” which will be a return to Strixhaven/ Arcavios, I can only hope with less complexity creep than the first time. And finally “Ziplining” which will be the finale set for the big arc ala War of the Spark or March of the Machine.

Thanks to anyone who decided to read through all this, hope it helped if you didn’t have time for the full vid or didn’t want to piece stuff together on their twitter page. If there was anything that I missed that seems important, or lore stuff any of you all would like to talk about, I’d love to hear it! I keep up with the lore more than I play nowadays and while the product fatigue is real, I do enjoy the speculation from some story stuff in at least the near future of sets.
