you're so funny for making fun of a horrifying day where 3000 people died and people feared for their lives

>>58234962>They bring sense of community and unity.Literally this. As much as I associate human fanartists with retarded internet drama, they also served as the backbone of communities they were in at the same time. They have good and bad sides I guess.>Unlike an AI prompter who saw May, thought 'dayum she hawt' made a +100 image pack and then moved on to the next hot anime girl. No discussion, no anything.Truth, I doubt most of the prompters even care about May that much.>abandoned charactersThe truly niche topics like underappreciated characters are interesting, because information about them isn't even fully online yet. So there wouldn't even be any existing data for AI to scrape from.For example I wouldn't trust ChatGPT to analyze Sapphire's character if it's getting its opinions from the English web, which is full of cringe misinterpretations. Maybe if the AI was actually OCR scanning every page of the manga I'd give it a look, but even then it's not going to understand the full context without some training.>without AI that cope used to turn people into artists now it'll turn (some of) them into promptersThis is today's artist Darwinism, where the creatively bankrupt will now never pick up a pencil in the first place, while only the most passionate insane autists will love their waifus so much they'll teach themselves to draw even in the face of AI.

Who'd send Latios and Latias to do this?Please don't say the jews despite it likely to be true.

Can an anon draw Brendan bleeding from his neck and it's implied May took the shot
>>58235122Some people make use dark humor to cope with tragedies.
>>58235804That completely organic assassination was done in order to bury the recent news of what happened to Iryna Zarutska, and to stop the mass awakening it would've caused among the general populace. But sure keep talking about the other guy who got shot instead, just like the media overlords want you to.
This is my favorite May piece of all time, and I have a hard time imagining it being beat. The proportions are just perfect.
>>58236567I really like this one
>>58236667I like this one.
>>58235122its been 24 years. unless you personally knew someone that died that day, get over it
>>58236190Well, that other guy only showed how fucking mental the left really is, so it's not a nothingburger. Not to mention the remarkable amount of psychopaths among the general populus.And at this rate, it only takes a week or two before another preventable murder becomes viral. Awakening the mass requires a high blood toll.
>>58235122
>>58235107You should kill yourself. No, not for making fun of a tragedy, but for using that Reddited ass basedjak template.
>>58235107Does anyone have the video of the dancing nosepasses after this tragedy occurred?
>>58236820Last two threads were anons making the damn thing and it was agreed to use the pic on or very nearly getting to the day, you retard.
>>58236567Without a doubt, the shapes, the style, and that pose are very epic on May. I love it too. I always try to recreate those dimensions and bust shapes every time I draw May. Sometimes it turns out almost the same, and other times it doesn't. AI helps me with the shapes and poses to continue improving my drawings of busty May like this!

>>58239095First time someone has reposted one of my links. Thanks, anon.I think I got everything back from the b4k /vp/ archive, but if anyone has anything from the AI gen thread, either link a post, or repost it in the thread, and I'll add it to the collection. On model, anime style preferred. (Even though I personally prefer May to have bigger Mays) I did add that one May that isn't like the rest because of the AI voice.So yeah, new gens always welcome. Especially if it continues one of your favorite anime scenes in a way you wanted it to go. Also accepting anything that can't be posted on a blue board. Just catbox it or something. Not literbox, I might not see it in time.
>>58237850While I must admit first post quads are based, the fact (You)'d rather bump /dg/ with quads than bump /mg/ simply says that (You) have absolutely nothing of value to contribute to either thread besides tearing others down. As proven by the constant spam of the same screencap all while (You) never add anything new to discuss about it.
Shit we need some spam asap to stay afloat during this wave of Mega drops
>>58240948Affirmative.
I'm so happy that Raichu DOESN'T have shitty Megas that look like their designs were AI generated!
that direct was mediocre
>>58235710>>58236845You'll have to ask May about that!

>>58242428It's a Key Item, so it must be very important!
So the OP went too far? Don't even see Mayteenth anon.
>>58239233Can you upload the webm to /gif/?
>>58244490Shit you're right. Did he die in the attack?
*poke*
>>58244490>>58245015Damn...
*nee* (eneko)
>>58245909*pets her*
>>58245496FWIW, to me 9/11 memes aren't about mocking innocent people who died, but the way the US (or at least its Nosepass overlords) planned/used the event and spun a narrative around it to justify its own much larger mass murder of innocents on the other side of the world. To whine every year about some US tower buildings, while conveniently forgetting the entire countries the US had obliterated, is itself so ridiculous that it deserves to be mocked. Thought most burgers would understand the nuance by now but maybe not.
>>58246389Tl;dr just look up the Hannibal Directive.
>>58244490>>58246389IDK, but probably not the best move to bum people out with divisive or iffy OPs. Brings down the mood, slows threads down, and/or makes some regulars to the thread disinclined to participate. Follows the same logic for why dedicated girl generals avoid shipping in OPs.
Finally got some free to time to start up the Emerald and first thing I notice is Viz must have just thrown in the towel with late RS-Emerald. I have the physical copies and there's these glaring errors like Japanese text still visible on speech bubbles, using Chuang Yi names (Kimberly, Zuzu, Kris' team) and getting speech patterns confused (Green (m) speaks like Bill for several FRLG chapters). The physical copied I have fix the CY name errors (though I usually prefer CY's names) but not the rest. Makes one wonder if Viz just got the CY version and touched up the dialogue. Anyways, I'm at the chapter where Ruby and Sapphire make a proper return and it's refreshing to see what they're usually like when they don't have a personal conflict. Though now I wonder about how a scenario where Sapphire is in the wrong/instigates a falling out would look like. >>58246389 burgers still don't because their breaking point is a literal who demagogue instead of seeing videos of children brutally maimed and starved for the past 2 years
>>58246733Should correct myself, the scans online correct done of these issues.
>>58246741*most of theseit's still early
>>58246389There are two ways to go with such jokes: 1. Making fun of victims, and 2. making fun of how the tragedy is politically utilized.Take George Floyd's death for example: If we're for real, he was a victim of police brutality, and this fact wouldn't change if that was another person. "Jokes" whose whole point is to solely make fun of him being the stereotypical black aren't comedical. I mean, you can laugh about it, but your point isn't to add something valuable to the discourse or make something so absurd in order to illustrate how cruel reality is, but because you despise this nigger.What - I assume - most people make fun of is how the left desperately tried to make a martyr out of Floyd, when he was everything else but a role model (kinda telling how every victim the left tried to idolize had a criminal backstory or did something that somewhat justified their deaths). Or how they care so much about victims, but if said victims are white (e.g. Tony Timpa), their empathy is nowhere to be found.Regarding 9/11, I agree with >>58246389.>>58246480If we went by feelings, then we not only had to ban the OP, but also any kind of jokes and satire at someone's expense. Good luck with that, because it will certainly backfire.And with that, I advocate for more Mays and less politics (unless it's pokemon related).
>>58246733I remember Viz did release the gen 3 arcs very quickly
>>58246927>There are two ways to go with such jokesWhile true, there is no way to know everyone's true intentions behind jokes without mind reading or some Big Brother type shit.>George Floyd's deathBoth Floyd and the media spin on his death was the final straw for a lot of people. The final straw on a whole complicated set of issues which go so far back and so deep that they're beyond normal surface level discourse. Which leads to anyone trying to explain the biggest picture view of the situation being labelled a schizo and redirected to /pol/, but that's probably for the better if you want your boards to stay on topic.>more Mays and less politics (unless it's pokemon related)Agreed, this would be quite easy for us especially if we stick to gen 3 Mays who are pure. Anything after gen 4 is Pandora's Box. Leaving Japan, original dialogue from the Unovan ferris wheel man, BlackRock investments, sudden commie influence in Pokemon, ORAS Brendan and Team Aqua are suddenly brown, the region based on Britain has a black champion, the weird human character design choices after Alola (gen 9 being the most extreme culmination of this), sudden gay shilling between Nemona/Juliana in spinoff media, the kid who was kicked from a TCG tournament by a bluehair, it goes on.
>>58246733Personally I just remember the fact Ruby spends the entire arc having dried piss on his clothes.
>>58235136I love that we all agree that Haruka has big breasts.
>>58247428>pissYou mean soda. Anyway RS arc Ruby would've immediately left to take a bath and told everyone to fuck off. So it's interesting how Emerald arc Ruby can restrain himself to just whining, but otherwise sticks with Sapphire throughout the Battle Frontier. His priorities are more in order now.
>>58247461In the og Japanese version, it was piss. Toilet humor gremlin protags were big in mid 00s kids manga.
>>58246927>If we went by feelings, then we not only had to ban the OP, but also any kind of jokes and satire at someone's expense. Good luck with that, because it will certainly backfire.It's not about banning OPs or whatever. OPs are meant to be things that most of the general's users can agree with or at least don't mind. Again, it doesn't have to be politics. If someone used Contestshipping or Advanceshipping in the OP, a segment of the general's regulars would feel annoyed enough to either spend the thread bitching about it or would choose not to participate in that specific thread (they could either not support the chosen ship because they support a different ship or because they hate shipping overall). It's just a fact that iffy OPs do impact the discourse in the thread they are attached to.
>>58242290American trailer trash May...
>>58247476I know, I think the CY English version didn't censor the piss but the Viz version later did. Viz also censored the Emerald piss in ORAS, making Pokespe fucking unreadable.>>58246733I had a small collection screenshotting late RS Viz fuckups, mostly with these circles where JP onomatopoeia was supposed to be replaced with English ones but never were. There are probably other mistakes but I only noted down the worst ones that stuck out to me.>Green (m) speaks like Bill for several FRLG chaptersThat's insane kek.>CY name errorsThe CY names are superior in nearly every instance. Even the random fanfic tier CY names for the Team Magma/Aqua admins in RS would've turned out to be the better choice in hindsight, in the face of the ORAS "um actually Matt/Shelly/Tabitha/Courtney were always just codenames so we're different people" retardation to explain why everyone looks different now.
>>58248427>a scenario where Sapphire is in the wrong/instigates a falling out would look likeThis happens in RS at the Seafloor Cavern, where Sapphire has the usual tantrum, but she's becoming unreasonable this time because the location turns out to be dangerous and it's no time for tantrums. Ruby just ignores her and keeps her out of trouble until she calms down. Kind of like how you'd handle a kid kek.It's a change of tactic because in the past Ruby would've (verbally) argued with Sapphire back or let her push him around a bit too much. But by this point, after he'd destroyed all his relationships, finally seen the bigger picture and realized he had to be proactive, he's likely decided fixing his friendship with Sapphire is worth overlooking her retard moments and being patient with her. It's also a delicate line between standing his ground or letting her make a bad decision, and trying to assert his own opinion without using intimidation. Since Ruby hates violence or scaring people (the very things he always associated with and hated about masculinity) but he can't run away from the situation anymore either, he just settled on stonewalling.The stonewalling tactic fits Ruby better since he can both avoid conflict while technically also dealing with it. In this case he also comes off as the more mature one by not letting Sapphire's anger trigger his own, in what's ultimately him learning male stoicism. But of course ignoring Sapphire isn't the solution to every one of their conflicts, exemplified by their tension in the Emerald arc later on. Though Ruby's just copying his dad at this point who has 0 emotional intelligence so Ruby's not going to know any other way to deal with things at first.
Alpha Sapphire likes snu snu.
May is sexo, sexo is life
>>58241718>paid dlc on releaseThis drives me up the wall, but people are going to buy it anyway.>new animal crossing-esque game where you're a ditto transformed as a trainerWhile I hate how the Ditto trainer looks, it's a good compromise between letting the player converse with Pokemon without contradicting too much existing lore.
>>58250573To give them a lick of credit, you can buy it on release, but the dlc itself isn't day 1 or anything. It launches later.
I want to finish off Emerald arc today. It's kind of insane that this was how the arc ended in its magazine run and fans didn't even know what would happen next until the volumes caught up in late 2007-2008. GSC and RS only waited a few weeks to see the volumes wrap up their arcs, but FRLG and Emerald are probably where the whole "one gen behind" pattern with volumes started.Something I only noticed now is that Noland never talks to Ruby specifically but Sapphire instead. And it makes me wonder if Noland and Anabel are meant to be a gender flipped mirror of Ruby and Sapphire's relationship. And I think that contrasts with how we're introduced to the two conversing with Wallace and Winona. Of course Anabel and Noland are usually paired with Ash and Cynthia/a self insert respectively among fans but that's interesting to see of Kusaka intended it.Sapphire's respect for the old dex holders and how emotional she gets when she learns they're petrified is also cute.
>>58251001>Noland never talks to Ruby specifically but Sapphire insteadDid you mean Spenser instead of Noland?
>>58251068No. I mean Noland, Archie even does a repeat of the Wallace-Winona hostage situation. Plus, volume 29 keeps calling him Norman. Even my physical copy had this error.
>>58251134Also, nice that Sapphire extends compassion to even her worst enemies like Maxie
craftingI like the gimmick of that new pokopia shit but I think it's going to fall flat one way or another. Wish it would've been something like dragon quest builders but pokemon, with an actual trainer.Then of course dress said trainer up to look like may. Still! Might have some fun remaking hoenn or something if that game has enough building when I get around to getting a switch 2 in a year or so.
>>58239095Can you add audio to all of these
>>58251265Pokopia is actually the first game that made me consider getting a Switch 2. I tried getting into AC before but it never stuck, so I'm curious if Pokopia will do it for me instead. I'd also try recreating Hoenn in some way, maybe by only having Hoenn Pokemon hang out in my town, and of course dressing up the Ditto girl like May.I'm too broke to actually get a Switch 2 though.
>>58252952If her mouth was open and she inflated....
>>58253415Which mouth?
>>58251930AC's switch outing sucked and might be the worst in the series somehow if that's what you tried. I'm also not willing to throw down the cash for a switch 2 but maybe it'll go on sale once they come out with the OLED or at least you can get some cheaper aftermarket.Rn I'm trying to do the best I can to make an enjoyable modpack with cobblemon, catching only hoenn mon and making some towns since pokopia is 6 months out still. It's a pain in the ass to make sure everything works together but I'm enjoying it. Still need to get back to seaglass at some point tho.
>>58252952bidet training
>>58254618sexy would rape
>>58254068I was into Minecraft for awhile, it was great. But since I didn't know how servers worked, I lost my old world and don't know how to get into Cobblemon.
>>58255002You can pick most modpacks from prism launcher and be fine, legit download the launcher and click add instance and then search cobble and you'll find tons. My only thing is that I heavily, heavily recommend Radical Cobblemon Trainers. It adds not only trainers to fight but a level cap and gym leaders/rivals/bad team to fight to raise that level cap. It adds meaning to cobblemon and exploration in general since those rivals only spawn in certain biomes. I also like Fight or Flight which lets your pokemon fight mobs if you turn them on. TLDR: Just grab a mod pack and then make sure it has radical trainers, other than that I just add a bunch of furniture mods mainly, maybe a car/plane mod to get around easier but you can also just get a mod that lets you ride cobblemon. Once I started just walking around looking for hoenn mons and scanning shit with the pokedex, I was surprised how much it matched up to modern pokemon. I get the same feeling in cobblemon that I do from playing scarlet and violet when I'm just running around catching pokemon.

>>58255148BASED but where is Brendan's tan?
>>58255764FLAT
the amount of May Dawn art I haven't saved because it has Dawn being as stacked as May is probably in the few dozenswon't accept such wrongful propaganda
it seems our girl will have to get new bras...
>>58251001>this was how the arc ended in its magazine runWait, Emerald arc actually ended in the magazines with Sapphire being molested by an old man right in front of her husband?>Sapphire's respect for the old dex holders and how emotional she gets when she learns they're petrified is also cute.Yep and I really think Sapphire and Ruby's role in this arc is exploring how they interact with a larger consistent group on a personal level. Since in RS arc they were both mostly travelling solo. In the Emerald arc, when trying to address Emerald's shit attitude, Ruby is indirect (during their Battle Dome fight, Ruby shows off how much he gets along with his Pokemon after he stopped being an asshole, implying Emerald should do the same) while Sapphire is direct ("Hey what's wrong, tell me your entire tragic backstory right NOW so we can be real friends"); Emerald initially hates them both but being emotionally repressed, he actually reacts worse to Sapphire because she's so earnest and expressive. Or later when meeting all their senior Pokedex holders, Sapphire is a cringe fangirl trying to shake everyone's hand and freaking them out, while Ruby mostly hangs back and doesn't seem to interact meaningfully with anyone besides Sapphire or Emerald (who is the main protag now so everyone is forced to talk to him anyway).
>>58256740>>58251134>Noland and Anabel are meant to be a gender flipped mirror of Ruby and Sapphire's relationship>a repeat of the Wallace-Winona hostage situationOk this is insane, I've never seen it that way before. I'll go reread those parts, but it's true there's already some parallels in the Emerald arc from RS so it's not impossible.I just never gave a shit about the Frontier Brains here before since like most volume readers, I didn't know the context of the Emerald arc initially being some gag routine between the Brains and Emerald. In context of the final volume version where the story turns serious later, it just looks like the Brains are randomly just being dicks to a 10 year old, so now a lot of people hate the Hoenn Brains for that. Though the original magazine runs are usually just shitty first drafts of the final story so they're usually worth ignoring in most cases.
*chuu*
>>58255484>I kind of thought the OP was funny, but had I realized how derailed it would've caused this thread to be, I would've objected to it being the OP in the last thread.Same, but honestly this OP image was being discussed for at least two threads earlier and it didn't derail anything. So if anyone had a real problem with it back then, they never brought it up. Either way looks like the glowies and Nosepasses won this one.
>>58256647Love it when artists drawing busty May don't neglect her ass, too.

>>58255031Thanks for the tips. I'll give those mods a try once I get the chance.
