hitstun OP Mod , to Floating Is Fun in Kiki of the Valley of the Witches by Redlark
@hitstun@fedia.io avatar

This art was posted 16 years ago, but the Valley of the Witches just became official this year as section of Ghibli Park. I thought this Kiki/Nausicaä mashup was pretty practical. A tiny witch on a broom with a bazooka would be a great air defender and difficult to shoot down. Hopefully Kiki's carrying some flares to deal with any heat-seeking missiles that come her way.

To take the survey, go to this campaign page and scroll down to the "take part" button to get the survey in your language. I basically just told them that I install Firefox ESR from Chocolatey. They were really interested in locale strings like "en-US".

hitstun OP Mod , to Floating Is Fun in “It’s a Gift for You!” 🎁 by Uno Yuuji
@hitstun@fedia.io avatar

Oops, I actually teased two different posts for today, so here's the other one. On Sonic the Hedgehog's official Japanese Twitter, telekinetic hedgehog Silver is delivering packages to atone for the game he debuted in, but it's no use . This fan remake is looking good though.

I warned you! This not-subtle ad for Levi's jeans is the dumbest crap I've posted since Fat. For this Jackass reject to float like that, those pants would have to be inflated to about a 15-foot sphere. It's dumb fun, though, and the music is good.

Now I'm thinking of a character like Primer who can choose her abilities for each encounter by equipping different colors. Primer's such a cool character.

That's right, it's a CD single from that VTuber Kanade Izuru. The Linkfire page has links to the CD on Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and Deezer. All the most popular VTubers are apparently musicians too.

My last post didn't go over all that well, so here's some anime-ass anime art for a VTuber from Holostars. Oh man, you guys are not gonna like what I have planned for Sunday. It's more bogus than Luma's Dream Machine. More than this.

We look everywhere for floaty stuff. but sometimes it finds you.

These are all named characters, by the way. Duolingo has lore.

Oh hey, you came to read the comment section. Here's the second part.

hitstun OP Mod , to Floating Is Fun in June 16 Is 6 (Mu) 16 (Juuroku)… Which Means “Zero Gravity Day”!! by yolozyaTOM
@hitstun@fedia.io avatar

I've started keeping track of some anniversaries and goroawase days. June 16 can be read as mu-juuroku, which sounds like mujuuryoku, the Japanese word for zero gravity. Incidentally, June 16, 1963 is the day Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space. Oh, and today is also Father's Day here in the US, so shout out to all the other dads I've got floating around here.

Next week, we've got Sonic the Hedgehog's birthday on Sunday and UFO Day on Monday. Let's try to get relevant floaty things posted here on those days.

hitstun OP Mod , to Floating Is Fun in Circling the Washington Monument by Lincoln Beachey
@hitstun@fedia.io avatar

Wait, is it tethered? It's a poor quality photo, so maybe it is? Beachey and Knabenshue were out there flying that dirigible every afternoon and evening for a week, so maybe wind was a factor? Like, if they were worried about crashing into the Washington Monument, the thing is made of marble bricks, so it wouldn't do any damage to the monument.

118 years ago, America's first stunt pilot flew circles around the Washington Monument and then landed on the White House lawn to try to greet the President. Nowadays, Washington, DC has all these capitol-specific airspace rules that diidn't have personal dirigibles in mind. Drones are banned city-wide too. It's not to say that this stunt is impossible to do legally nowadays, but good luck getting permits to do this.

hitstun OP Mod , (edited ) to Floating Is Fun in Levitation Spells are Hard by Cockatrice_Cure
@hitstun@fedia.io avatar

It's a misfire, but from the cover of that Levitation 4 Dummies book, I think she nailed it! Things like her hair, clothes, and candle flames behave like gravity is still kind of working.

Indeed, if it's anything like the Vegetable Orchestra, she has to buy fresh leeks the day of a performance. Rotten leeks are probably poorly balanced and harder to spin. Unless those are hologram leeks, because those don't rot.

Oh, that girl out there? That's just Hatsune Miku, flying around like she does anytime an artist feels like drawing her doing so. I'd be flying out there too, but I'm stuck doing boring real world stuff with boring real world physics. Maybe I'll get a paraglider someday.
