and since learning how the vantablack-style pigment is made the guys working on the new stuff have also developed other colors as well. The Pinkest Pink is pretty wild to see IRL

yeah vantablack if I recall has to be handled pretty carefully, it's very fragile and easy to kick some of the pigment up/chip some of the paint off and inhale it, which you DO NOT want to do. You can't really seal it because even the slightest coat of another material ruins the light scattering effect, so anything painted with it needs to be very carefully maintained. In addition to all that, these pigments are actually pretty drat expensive but getting less so as processes to make them get more efficient.

The Pinkest Pink is cool because it's got the same effect as Vantablack (I forget what the new, non-copyrighted version is called) but because it's an actual color and not just black like darkness, your brain really hates coming to terms with it.

so maybe don't hold him up as a proletariat hero of the art world

also, no one is doing that? there's like 10 posts, you can read them all on the same page. no one said anything about semple (or even mentioned his name other than a vague "the guy") other than that his pigments are better and less restrictive to use lol

you're right, my wording was unnecessarily combative. a friend of mine has been getting dogpiled by semple's sycophants since calling him out for launching a ton of nft's so it's a weirdly touchy subject, i edited the post to reflect what i was actually trying to say instead of being mad at the guy and his weird fans

it's fine, there's a few artists I've decided to stop supporting due to their turn into NFT territory so I understand lol. Gorillaz putting some out almost broke my heart, you know due to their whole rallying against environmental damage and more specifically pumping out corporate waste into the environment while getting meaningless bullshit in return, but I figured that's mostly the ideas of their dogshit manager they either can't or won't get rid of for some reason lol

Nah that’s just because Damon albarn us a gigantic loving moron who finds the worst moments possible to talk poo poo, he’s been doing it for like 30 years

that too. They've been pretty annoying for a bunch of different reasons the past decade, and I'm assuming for longer but I was willing to let a lot slide during those first three albums lol. hell of a run.

yeah B's going to win this next one so that the main character isn't in a "your side can't lose; at worst, you'll tie, so you don't have to try so hard this round" situation

apprehensive about this plot but I'll give it time like everyone says. It helps that most of my other favorite characters are Not Deku I guess lol
