This is SO great, thank you very much Snarky!

Glad it's of use!

I have a question tho. Some of the lipsync might not turn out "so great" (Swedish, probably the reason why..). Is there a possibiity to combine the automatic lipsync with manual adjustments with either Pamela or Papa?

I've tried manual with Papagaoya, and Pamela inside the "lip sync manager", before i've got the rhubarb running, and i think i prefered editing inside the lipsync manager with Pamela.

Is that possible?

I don't really have an overview of the lip sync editors that exist and what formats they can read. It wouldn't be terribly hard to write a tool to convert the files from one format to another so you could edit themâ€"and perhaps a tool like that already existâ€"but this module does not do it.

Funny fact. I get a grey tooth on my 16 Color "babe", i have no idea what is going on. It's not in the sprites, i've checked several times. Even went in and redrawn the colors and hit save, replaced the source. Deleted the sprites inserted them again in the project, etc.
Still on one sprite image i get a gray pixel. Any idea what could be the cause? 

Try to just display that sprite on an object, to see whether it's anything to do with the module or something else. Is the game actually 16-color?

That's right: Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.



(I thought perhaps someone would recognize Lisa Kudrow and Alan Cumming in old-age makeup in the first cap.)

Yeah, it's one of those "I better check if it's been released under that title somewhere" cases.

Mmm… no, that's not the title.

I'm not sure I even understand being compared to a capybara as an insult. Capybaras are awesome!

OK, guess it's time to be a bit more obvious:

'Nother clue:

In coding, it's useful to have a big, high-resolution screen, and of course a comfortable keyboard. Keyboard quality has been a problem on some recent MacBook models (google "mac butterfly keyboard"), so that's something to look out for. The precise model shouldn't matter much otherwise, I don't think.

I'll make a mental note of it…

This is a fun one too:

It's The Overnight.

I thought that was Taylor Schilling in the first photo, but couldn't see any likely entry in her filmography. With Jason Schwartzman in the second, it just became a matter of finding the overlap.

I ❤️ Huckabees?

Pretty sure this is not it, but â€" Mulholland Dr.?

From the first screen I thought it might be Locke & Key. The second one in particular doesn't seem to fit, but I'll throw it out there just to make a guess.

Yes indeed. Like The Ruins, it was also based on a book by Scott B. Smith (who also wrote the scripts for both movies).

Incidentally, Gary Cole is always a delight.

Hmm?

Oh, and just to add to the 80s vibe:

Kinda cool they're sing/rapping in Chiac, but ugh watching that video makes my face want to cringe implode.

I think that's the intention.
It's all very tongue-in-cheek. But maybe this is an easier watch:

I don't know The Cars well, but my brother had this skateboarding video that had this chilled out segment with this song playing in the back, which I always really liked:

Nice. I always enjoyed the 80s-rific "Drive" (also due to strong band name/song title synergy):

I will probably get laughed at but Swedish music genius Max Martin's Backstreet Boys - Quit Playing Games With My Heart.
Great song, great lyrics.

Four our enjoyment:

All right, if nobody else is listening to anything, guess what?

I think I originally heard about this New Brunswick Nova Scotia group on Kate Beaton's Twitter. I like the multilingual English/Chiac lyrics.

Yup! Well done on even pinning down the episode. I've been rewatching it for… therapeutic purposes.

Not exactly.
