Ami & I took a fun little pottery decorating class (sgraffito) like you do. So I made mine Zelda themed! Honestly pretty pleased for something that isn't remotely my wheelhouse! I'm an atrocious sketcher at best, but if I avoid anything 3 dimensional I can achieve something like cave paintings, ha.

When you do something well in a video game it rewards you, but when you do something well in your IRL job they punish you

"AI is the way of the future and we just need to acce--"

As someone who's practically a fandom Lich at this point, I'm just saying:

What's it like in your head?

Here's how this works: Creator makes something; fans invest identities in it; creator turns out to be responsible for terrible things. Fans: "We just need to separate the art from the artist." Creator makes something; fans invest identities in it; creator doesn't do exactly what they want. Fans:

Without downloading anything new, where are you, mentally?

sometimes self care is watching a fictional character going insane 🤷‍♀️

"You need to start using AI right now, Number One. Innovate or be left behind. Your competitors aren't sleeping, Number One. Everything will use AI in the future. Start learning how to use AI, or everyone will be leaps and bounds ahead of you, Number One."

"Report." "The atmosphere contains high concentrations of methane, carbon monoxide, and fluorine." "Life signs?" "None, sir. The planet is an AI data center."

Then they're gonna love what I just salvaged last weekend

Even if true, & it's not; even were it slightly possible for the mangle & muddle of "solution resembling a solution" output of LLMs to contain persistent emotional response & not just imitate it; What would that mean for how we use something supposedly conscious & intelligent enough to communicate?

The ponies that find you when you flee to the corn maze:

Show somebody who absolutely rocks a hat and isn’t Indiana Jones.

"Why is it every time I try to record I just end up feeling exhausted for days, this didn't used to take so much out of me" Well, apparently I closed the room up so much that I've been mildly poisoning myself 😅 So THAT could have something to do with it

Share a green character for 🍀 or else the rest of the year you'll have terrible luck.

Navi reporting in to confirm: It heckin wimdy here

Oh gods If you see this, share your Smash Bros main Look, you have to understand -- it was a completely different life, when this little bugger was one of only *twelve* options; and I'm damned if I didn't make him the deadliest little shit on any stage you put me on

Do it! Illustrated poetry is one of the best things ever. One of my favorites is from Nikita Gill's "Where Hope Comes From":

Hmmm why not

I've played with the idea of trying to make some kind of "virtual coworking/creative hangout space" where people can just tap in at certain times of the week & work on stuff together. Like Focusmate or ShutUpWrite but for more diverse fan pursuits. But idk, I never get the sense others want (1/2)

"I exist today, because you gave me your blood. Thank you... Let's see... Number 23 isn't going to cut it. I think I'll give you a name of your own."

Other problem is now I'm really nostalgic for Reach multiplayer 😭 Only had a really solid group to team up with for about a year, but damn those were good nights

When your partner pulls an old console out of storage, and you're greeted by those innocent, cheerful avatars from more than a decade past. Oh distant past selves, what a world we have survived that you never anticipated. 😞

Literally me seeing that and looking up when we last had a real Castlevania game

Unit: Thornquill Class: Incanter/Support Loot: The manifest contents of his unfinished WIP fic folders Passive: WIP-Lash A Thornquill's loot drop essentially doubles as a self-destruct action, immediately engulfing the attacker in an unfinished fic-avalanche. This deals 1d10 psychic damage per fic

Okay that's so funny though, because I immediately thought it reminded me of the mine in Alan Wake, & at least according to the wiki they did indeed use Kennicott for the reference for that also XD Though not quite as precisely recreated there

When you saw an art & it inspired a fic sketch, but it was 2 days ago so now you're searching multiple social media streams, Discord channels, & mutuals' reposts at once as you try to dig it out again before it disappears into the digital abyss

Cornifer from Hollow Knight, Withers from BG3, and... Kass counts, right? Kass counts
