if you're lgbt, if you're black or hispanic or muslim, if you're a woman, if you're part of any sort of marginalized group
it's the most unfair thing that you have to keep fighting
but I beg you
please be brave
please be safe
please try to survive
"if I just work hard enough, eventually I'll make it"
No. cause if you don't make it that means you didn't work hard enough. And that isn't fair to your efforts.
there are so many factors outside of your hands. So much success is luck, and failure is not always your fault. cut yourself some slack.
"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort
I wouldn't say I'm massively into phones or anything but I sketched this out of frustration bc why are there no modern phones with these features, it would be so perfect and I'm mad the only ones are old and slow
trans people are always welcome in my space
your existence is not a threat to anything but the frail social constructs that restrain self expression and self love
Games should give you the tools to continue to play them if/when they get shut down. You should keep access to the product you paid for

needing AI to make convos and cute dates and hot smut of your fav is a skill issue

And that's okay, it's not supposed ot

followup to dream phone design, took some ideas from people I liked. It's not designed for everyone but it's designed for me specifically and I'm mad it doesn't (and will likely never) exist
Teenager me: everyone in charge is so stupid
Young adult me: politics corporations and science are incredibly complex topics that require thorough research and discussion and we shouldnt jump to conclusions
Me now: everyone in charge is so stupid
I will never understand why they replaced community submitted subtitles for this nonsense
Real human people were happy and willing to make subtitles in a variety of languages for free, and the creator had full control of what submissions were used
And they GOT RID OF IT
my favorite memory about metaverse is when RTGame streamed it and, during his stream (and likely BECAUSE of it), meta's stock dropped by 20%
that image of all the girls keeps getting reposted (you know the one) so I drew going on a date with all of them
idk how hot a take this is but I'd like if AAA games were developed within the limitations of previous gen hardware so they can run smoother on current gen
not everything needs to push the machine to its limits, we can use all that extra power just to allow them play good
My woke opinion of the day is tying art to capital, and capital to survival, is fundamentally anti-art
It inherently compromised the artists vision from the roots. its financial success is a factor that will always exist in the creators mind - informed or opposed
Want pure art? Kill capitalism
I would very much like things in the world to get better now
Reminder that your platforms/audiences are your stage. when you see a clear grift or rage bait, showing them off to MORE people just helps the grift. Attention is what they want. When you give them your stage, it's free advertising.
Your stage and time are precious. Don't give them to a grifter.
