  • For years, mine was this gif I saw on UsVsTh3m in 2013. It had no context, and the only hint to its origin was the barely legible "29. 暑〜い!" overlay. I had a guess that this was from a Japanese TV talent show. I wanted to find the original video, but the trail went cold.

    Years later, I don't know how, I heard of a series of Japanese TV specials called Kesou Taishou, known overseas as Masquerade. UsVsTh3m got bought by the Mirror and their post was taken down, but I still had the gif. My Google Translate research skills had improved, so I looked up Masquerade on Japanese Wikipedia and searched all the episode guides for 暑〜い!, and in the shows from 2007, I found it! It was entry 29 in the 78th special, and it won third place there.

    I try not to post things that don't have a legal source, so I quietly updated my blog post and didn't mention it anywhere else. Until...

    Three months ago, my partner started getting YouTube recommendations for this show. I checked, and the show's new official YouTube channel had just uploaded this performance a few days earlier. I made a better gif of it and posted it to !gifs@lemmy.world , and they liked it!

  • Holy crap, that sucks! Why can't those scrapers just scrape each other? I'm sorry, I didn't want to pressure you to open up to that kind of abuse. I want to think of ways to help this situation, but you're probably 10 steps ahead of me. Thank you for trying so hard.

  • 5.71MB is plenty generous. I'd give up 5MB of that if we could have anonymous browsing again. I can't recommend Mbin to people if they have to log in to see anything. Would converting all uploads to WebP lighten the load?

  • I'm on @jerry@infosec.exchange 's cursed Mbin instance, and I can upload GIFs as images. The upload filesize limit here is 6,000,000 bytes with the drawback that I can't upload in better formats like MP4 or WebP.

  • Have vision-impaired users of Lemmy settled on an app or a front-end to use? I'm an Mbin user, so I don't get to mess with those apps very much.

  • Thank you; this is good feedback. Mbin pulled my alt text from my other recent post of this artwork, so it lost where I said this is Summer heat by Wenjun Lin. Sorry about that!

    It took me a little bit to understand this surreal scene, and then to look up the two main characters' names and where they're from. In his descriptions, the artist was mostly concerned with telling us this is a crossover between his own characters and a Tencent mascot. I didn't actually describe them very much, since the real draw here is the strange free-standing block of water with fish inside, and then Little Song swimming even though she isn't visibly in the water herself. Maybe I should describe the situation first, and then the characters in it.

  • Yes, chocolate, for its caffeine content. The darker, the better.

    How's my alt text?

  • I believe this was on live TV in 2007, before shows like America's Got Talent where the production staff actually assists the performers. There was a perfectly logical place for the girl to hide.

    I did increase the speed to 220%, but only to match the gif I found online in 2013. My goal was to remake that old gif with the newly released 1080p YouTube clip as a base, increasing its framerate, cropping less, and using better compression.

  • Oh! I didn't know Lemmy had a !wtf@lemmy.wtf . Welp, I'm subscribed now. I'm happy my remake of a 2007 Japanese TV gif made it, and with its alt text intact sometimes!

  • I'm sorry, I try pretty hard to give accurate sources for all my posts, but I couldn't find an official source this time. Studio Ghibli is too oldschool for online promotional stuff. I assume this was put together by the film's art director. It's Kiki's 26th anniversary and I couldn't pass this up.

  • I thought I did a pretty great job with this GIF. 29 seconds at 12 fps at 400x225, coming within a few KB of Fedia's 5.72MB upload limit. It's worth the optimization if this reaches someone who needs to see it. There's just one catch. If you look any deeper into Mechrot's portfolio, they usually inflate...um...people. But hey, if that's your thing, you're welcome.

  • This is Joel Pett's cartoon for the USA Today on December 13, 2009. It's the highlight of his career, and yet still it hasn't reached the people who need to see it most.
