Was he generated by AI? Yes. This is actually three separate AI generated images that I stitched together by hand - lol with a photo juxtaposer app.
You may have a hard time hearing him, because his circuit's dead and he's floating in a tin can...far above the world. - but don't worry, his wife knows how much he loves her.
I thought, if Cpt. Thom can't do it, ol' Danny boy might just not know the song...although that would surprise me quite a bit.
...then I listened to the video. It does have some real Something to it. Also, it's a very rough recording, I'm surprised I let myself get away with that, even with my proclivity for half-assing.
Can I tell you something? Don't get mad. (Has that ever worked for anyone? I mean, if the person was gonna get mad, like somehow being told not to ahead of time is going to change it? lol if anything it'd probably exacerbate it.) Why do I feel like I'm going to regret confessing this?
The last episode of NTT as of now was recorded and scheduled in 2022...scheduled to air in 2026. ...yeah.
I was getting ready to move a few states over and had a lot going on. Originally, I wanted to pre-record enough episodes to make sure I could move and get settled in without dropping the ball, but then I got a little carried away. So I recorded, edited and scheduled 4 years worth of contest videos before I moved down to NC...now they're just unfolding without any input from me, save for the engagement side.
After 'Scraps left, I was pretty much making these videos in a vacuum. There was like a year with almost no one playing...so I started getting a little crazy with the green screen art. All the stuff around the border of the green screen is somehow related to the song. Also, I'm actually a bit nervous for the future, because as I said I was pretty much all alone doing this for a while so the art gets pretty feral towards the end. Just remember, when that day comes, try not to hold it against me if you're able - I'm excited to pick up the torch in 2027 with renewed vigor and art that more reflects the growth and change I've seen over the last few years.
Yeah that’s correct - may have been towards the end of ‘22, so closer to three years, but ultimately yes.
Schedule is under the music tab, but here’s a link to it :)
The index is all me. It was my twisted misuse of the system in order to create something that felt like a website but was solely hosted on Hive. I haven’t updated it in a while. I used to do it daily, but now I seem to do it just like 2-3 times per year. Pain in the ass honestly, but useful in super rare occasions when I want to reference an old post…honestly I don’t know how anyone else does it. I kind of hate keeping it alive but at this point I just refuse to let it die.
EDIT: looks like 2026 is blank…not sure how that happened, but after looking at the cover art for 2025, I’ll be happier to start 2026 with a clean slate. Hopefully I get the chance…I think I maybhave made the videos and scheduled them but didn’t save thumbnails.
Ok I have to bring you in on this, maybe you'll be able to shed some light on it.
I'm going through my replies as I like to do in the mornings, and I keep seeing this one:
...but when I click, it takes me here! I've noticed a few things on my profile also skewed; text from the bottom of one post showing up as the blurb for another, etc - but for some reason I find myself desperately clawing at the edges of internet to find the other half of this comment. I even went through your comments down through a couple days' worth just to see if it had been to someone else! ...do these words look familiar? If you commented this and I didn't respond, now I guess at least you know why. If it wasn't for me, well, I apologize for digging into your business!
Ah shit. Here I am claiming to have scratched at the corners of the internet and I didn't even think about edit history. Shit man, that's a tough break - I can't even begin to imagine.
Meet Captain Thomas - he's a provider of clues.
Was he generated by AI? Yes. This is actually three separate AI generated images that I stitched together by hand - lol with a photo juxtaposer app.
You may have a hard time hearing him, because his circuit's dead and he's floating in a tin can...far above the world. - but don't worry, his wife knows how much he loves her.
OmG and whatever acronyms are more definitive than OmG. Touché! Something has never been on a Space Odyssey, everyone knows that.

Did I understand you correctly, 4 years worth of recordings ahead of time? At 1/month?
I just went to your page to look, I didn't find the schedule but who designed all that Albus index, you? That's such a nice page.
Yeah that’s correct - may have been towards the end of ‘22, so closer to three years, but ultimately yes.

Ah dude, don't trip, I got caught on emotional Highway and was... EXIT.
Ah shit. Here I am claiming to have scratched at the corners of the internet and I didn't even think about edit history. Shit man, that's a tough break - I can't even begin to imagine.
But the teeth thing?
Yeah, there's ol' Danny boy!
But wait, where's Albus!?
...oh, there he is...
Peekaboo!!!
