Post some heckin lineart even! I bet it's super heckin' good and everyone's gonna love it! Bc like… it's not about it being impressive anyway, y'know? It's good without needing to be anything magnificent. And it's especially good if you put feeling into it, or if you had fun making it, y'know?

It's a hard decision to make, but sometimes it's the only one you can make, especially when health (physical and mental) is at stake We're going through something similar right now. Good luck, you can do this, I believe in you!

if you're as displeased as seeing AI-generated trash during this year's #PRGE as we are, let them know it (info@retrogamingexpo.com). i said it sends the wrong message, esp when they have a panel featuring someone who did art for game covers and ads.

Experimental post: The Duality of Whacka In the Switch version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Whacka can finally be fought, and has a suspiciously specific 108 HP. The game both offers a ridiculously simplistic explanation for this as well as a complex one steeped in Dharmic symbolism.

In Paper Mario, the original version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Super Paper Mario, Whacka was just a harmless whack-a-mole creature that could be abused to get Whacka Bumps, extremely valuable healing items. After being hit enough times, the Whacka goes extinct, teaching the players the consequences of their actions. However, in the Switch version of Paper Mario: TTYD, he instead moves to the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials and becomes an optional superboss with 108 HP.
He is fought at the bottom of the Pit of 100 Trials and has to be hit 8 times in order for the fight to activate.
but also
The number 108 is considered sacred by the Dharmic religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
Whacka symbolizes karma for killing him in past games
ring the bell 108 times, per Japanese tradition? The ringing of the bell represents the 108 bonno-defilements of man..
Buddhism holds the view that there are precisely 108 temptations on the path to Nirvana.
Therefore, in order to reach Nirvana, every Buddhist must resist 108 earthly temptations.
With a combination of any of the elements of the above four factors, there are 108 ways with which the karmas can be attracted to the soul.
the earthly temptation to get those Whacka Bumps
There are 108 qualities of praiseworthy souls
Some people think that the human spirit travels through 108 stages, while others believe that enlightenment is attainable with just 108 breaths each day while in Intense meditation,
108 beads to awaken your inner light
Meditators count mantra repetitions with mala beads of 108, (100 counted for self, 8 for mistakes and for those who have not the opportunity to meditate in mantra)
108 breaths to return to your truth
108 mantras to dissolve ego into dever
108 steps from the self to the soul
The Sacred Meaning of 108 Temple Steps
the journey to Whacka is a journey of enlightenment

Same I can't look at the news too long, though, or the constant firehose of insanity triggers that bad brain time and I can't get anything done anymore I miss being able to go to the doctor it's been so long Long_term planning just seems like an imaginative fantasy exercise nowadays Daydreaming

Something I find myself periodically wistful for is the ability to future-plan. I grew up hearing about the importance of 5- and 10-year life plans, but now that I’m an adult the world is so volatile I can barely make a 1-year plan without the economy self-destructing in ways once thought impossible

The yellow heart emoji ⟨💛⟩ is mistakenly displayed as a pink "hairy heart" ⟨a pink heart symbol with marks representing short hair.⟩ in Google's Android 4.4 mobile operating system (released 2013) because Google's emoji art team misinterpreted the dots in Unicode's black-and-white reference images ⟨Heart symbol with dots.⟩ as being hair stubble. In reality, the dotted pattern is simply used as a colorless way to represent the color yellow (in accordance with heraldic hatching).

It’s normal (and correct) to refuse to sign your likeness or performance over to AI. Even if there’s no indication that AI will specifically be used? Even if legally you’d be protected according to all sources? Saying no and standing by that is right.

I also took an opportunity a bit ago to draw up a couple of @chibibiscuit.bsky.social 's goblins, Sneezle and Saffy! Seen with my goblin Meryl, who is making Saffy bigger <3 #goattrain_art #sizesky

A two-panel comic. The first one shows Saffy the goblin growing, looking down at two smaller figures. The second panel shows the figures to be Meryl and Sneezle, two other goblins. Meryl is pointing a growth ray at Saffy, saying, "Alright Sneezle, tell me when to stop growing her!" But Sneezle is not able to respond, all her brainpower taken up by staring up lovingly at Saffy. Meryl, knowing she should probably stop soon, continues: "Just say when! J-just say when"

Nic Cage:

He continued: “How do you survive AI? Amazon is a very AI friendly company to the tune of 50 billion dollars invested to OpenAI. I am not an AI friendly actor. I didn’t sign the waiver to let them use AI on Spider-Noir. It’s kind of like I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again. But that’s OK. So I got to get with these young directors who are Gen Z and they’re going at it their own way, whether it’s through the YouTube culture or whatever it is. They’re doing it from scratch and by hand. I want to get with that.”
