    Both Gravity Falls and the Amazing World of Gumball have absolutely top tier writing. 100% both Dipper and Gumball are “off-model” in OPs image. For this seemingly being a “we’re so sick of the CalArts style” example people must not know that the creator of Gumball, Ben Bocquelet, is fucking French and the show is produced in Europe.

    I’m in my forties and Gumball is legitimately one of the funniest cartoons I have seen in two decades.

    Also, Gumball stands out on it’s own because the norm for cartoons for a long time has seemed to have been the Gravity Falls/Adventure Time/Steven Universe formula of comedy mixed with a bunch of serious undertones and long-form story. There is no long-form story with Gumball, with the voice actors literally resetting multiple times and making jokes about switching voices no less. There hasn’t really been an extremely funny cartoon of that variety (that I have seen personally) since the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, and Gumball positively outshines Flapjack.

    Finally, it also ignores how Gumball absolutely pulls faces like this. Here’s a couple screenshots I just pulled from episodes I remember.

    EDIT: In other news a new season of Gumball after a seven year haitus is dropping later this month.

    Is there a particular reason you need an nvidia gpu? Like plans to do local LLMs or other projects that really require a nvidia gpu?

    Because I am just so pleased with AMD for gpus in Linux. So simple.

    Not knocking your choice, just trying to understand it. Everyone has valid reasons for why they choose their setups.

    Edit: nevermind I am so confused by the new naming schemes I thought this was an nvidia, others have informed me its an AMD. Nevermind me I am a dingus.
