So I was one of those lucky enough to get a Switch 2. (yay.) Though I haven't yet started it up. atm I am a little baffled by how Nintendo expects me to get an HDMI cord, *and* their adapter *and* an Ethernet cable through that small opening on the dock

i really can't impress enough on young people that if you commit to not using AI you will be blessed by the promethean fire of knowledge and everyone around you will think you are a god for being able to do shit on your own and use your brain to have critical thoughts like a functional human being

awoo

TW: SA/INCEST/ABUSE Normally I don't do this, but I got permission from @longlongbunny.bsky.social to help spread awareness of their situation. Please help them by sharing this Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/longlongbunny Evidence: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Here are 543 images (1.5GB) of items at the Philadelphia Museum of Art arms and armor exhibit You're free to use them for anything, even commercially. I tried to focus on details not usually represented in available reference material drive.google.com/file/d/1NRzg... Here's a small sampling:

I hate the point while self-teaching where I find my brain turns to fuzz, and I'm never quite sure whether or not I should push through that feeling or stop - if, comparing to physical exercise, it's good burn or bad burn

I'd really like it if people could make space and remember that sex-adverse asexuals exist and are valid. A lot of conversation about asexuals often revolves around fighting the narrative that asexuals are ALL sex adverse, which is very understandable, but sometimes it feels like+

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

I love the concept of soulmates but I like the idea of loving someone on purpose more. Maybe it wasn’t meant to be, but we made it so. Maybe the stars didn’t bring us together but we found each other anyway and we’re not letting go. I’ll carve your initials into my heart myself.

Happy pride and yes aces always belong in pride and I'll eviscerate anybody who says otherwise Go forth, be gay do crime

I think my new OCs need their own tags #Yalana #OCsky #OC #OCart #digitalart #art

Tried my hand at dying my hair. It isn't a drastic change from my natural (rosy pink on unbleached light brown) so it's gonna be a while until I can see the actual results live

"The city held off on removing many residents who filed requests for accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act" Yup. The venn diagram overlap between homelessness and disability is HUGE. Now ask yourself "Why?" www.vallejosun.com/vallejo-begi...

I feel like a fraud and a conman all the time when I realize people admire or even pay me for art, because myself I think I am a failure at it. But I know so thinks Miyazaki and Mignola; and that was tragic, because it showed me that the doubts will never stop, but also weirdly reassuring in a way.

They will keep trying to pass this bill and we have to keep killing it.

I'm so sorry for the person who designed the new hairstyle but I can't unsee it

These companies that are reversing their plans to implement AI because of the public backlash? Good. If they want to implement it, make them justify it. Ask them their use cases. Ask if they think they can succeed where similar efforts have failed. We should make them scared by asking for data.

If you're using an artist's work for your gposes you need to credit them, and better yet: ask permission, and from *both* parties if it's off of commissioned work. I'd be livid if someone used art I commissioned from a friend for their gpose tbh. If asked, I'd say no.

last few reposts - I think that a lot because a lot of the tools that people use gen-AI for these days already exist and have already existed years before without needing to rely on a system forcefed the entire internet w/o regard for copyright/needing a few towns of electricity to work

This article is going to get hideously misunderstood by some. To clarify, this isn't gen-AI. Giant open worlds like do not happen without some kind of procedural generation. Tech like Speedtree and tools to dynamically place detail and clutter has been part of the basic design tools for ages.

yeah
