New update who dis I've uploaded vaporwav.html. While going through old hard drives where I had collections of... obtained music, I realized that I may be in possession of songs that due to the temporary nature of the internet may have been lost forever. There's only 1 true vaporwav (and 3 that are very close to being lost) but at least I can live knowing these are not a HD wipe away from being completely gone.

P.S. I'm sure there's another name for lost media such as this but the name vaporwav - like vaporware, but wav as in .wav files or audio files while also giving a nod to vaporwave the genre - just got stuck in my head and I couldn't NOT do it.

The OOT remake especially in the character faces gives "make this character look realistic" AI gen slop

imo it's mostly the flat eyes and the hyper-over detailing on everything. i kinda fw the new tunic but at the same time its so visually busy that there's no place to rest your eyes. even the environment is saturated with noise. ah, who knows. maybe it'll grow on me. except sheik's design that one sucks ass

They're inspired by Japanese stop-motion puppetry. It's a look that can feel a little uncanny, a little strange and I understand the urge to compare it to AI given the amount of seemingly superfluous detail; however, it's really grown on me. When I first saw it, it brought to mind Japanese animators work on Rankin-Bass TV specials or stop motion anime like X-Bomber.

There's a Three Musketeer puppetry show that aired on NHK in 2009 that a lot of people have been pointing to. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq1MLGAkIvw

I have come up with the dumbest idea yet and it is going to take a lot of work to pull it off but if I do it might become my favorite page.
