The desktop computer surgery never ends, apparently.

Just feeling a need to draw Star Fox & Star Wolf

wow look at all of these better alternatives to Adobe that exist ask me about Pixelart programs if interested in that aspect specifically because you *definitely* don't need PS for that, lol

The internet of things is truly a wonder. 😝 #dishwasher #parody #iot

yes

OC Gabumon and Renaman go on a casual walk.

Go and kill for the beaver.

So I started animating this stupid joke about these two types of digital artists

cross-posting: if you have an iPhone, you may have pressed the power button 5x before. the phone vibrates briefly, you get options to call emergency services, power off, etc... this kicks the phone out of this AFU state. you can do it with the phone in your pocket. you should practice doing it

No matter how bad you feel, keep up with personal grooming. Feeling clean literally makes your brain feel better on a chemical level, even just giving your face and hands a wash can improve your mood

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

Been thinking a lot about pulling a music collection back together. Having a sub to a music streaming site is easy, but it also is stifling, and keeps me from investing time in really engaging with the music I want to listen to. Maybe I'll do a write up or something.

Thinking of all of the months where I could have purchased two full albums from a musician instead of paying [generic music streaming site] and basically using it to listen to the same playlist.

On the other site, Studio Ghibli-style AI output is going viral and allow me to just say it is profoundly depressing to see that stuff being used to promote OpenAI's latest product. Miyazaki famously called AI-produced art "an insult to life itself"—and this in turn is an insult to him.

Companies will tell you they're selling you artificial intelligence, when in reality they're just selling you hubristic algorithms.

I took the time to scream into the void for a bit, and work calmed down, and I drank a bunch of water. Got some more work done on my VR avatar. Feeling a bit better. Working on more projects today.

Dragon! Draaaagooooon, not kobold. I don't do that tongue thing! #TinynReese

We need to continue to create and build even as our leaders work to tear things down around our heads. Out of hope, out of spite, out of whatever justification we can scrap together to keep doing it. Even out of the desire just to have something nice, even if only for a little bit.

Still one of the funniest Mega Man related tweets

We don’t need your permission for Pride. You can’t erase us. Queer self love is a radical act.

no wait I actually like this idea... a lust demon actually wants to be good and they find a holy man who's a bit of a freaky monsterfucker

This is the first day I've had in a while where I just cannot get my head right with my work. Being under pressure all the time has had me postponing my recovery periods too long, I think.

BARK!!! 2025

People out here like “Kanye’s music always sucked.” I am begging you to deeply internalize that terrible people are capable of making profound and incredible things. If we cannot hold these conflicting truths, monsters will always be able to hide behind their talent
