Yeah the mod is an A grade dick. Mods are at times power mad, and this is a case in point. Anyone can see that’s not what you were saying.

I also restic to b2. Found it the best value.

I’ve done a little. Give us you details and requirements. I’m happy to have a look.

Solid release. Simple and usable. Will keep it to see how it progresses. Nice work!

I agree. I’m most productive with 2 x bursts of work. 6 hours is a good amount of time for getting plenty done.

When you can’t tell if a machine made it, and it moves you personally, then what invisible metric are you defining, and judging it on?

No. I watched a video recently of one of the best figure tutors around. Upset with AI. As he critiqued them, multiple times he struggled to tell if it was AI or not. Now, if one of the top YouTube figure drawing instructors struggled at times to identify the difference in his attack against the tech, I’m pretty comfortable saying that it can absolutely move you.

This response assumes an artist wants to be a professional artist, that wants to make a living from it. There are MANY artists, that have no interest of turning their source of joy, into a source of income, and all that comes with it.

I disagree strongly on that argument. I’ve seen many examples of AI generated images that have genuinely made me stop, and shake my head in amazement.

I’m waiting for that new Intel gear.

This is more arcadey, but I recommend giving Cave Story a go. The story is rich, the worlds deep. It’s a great game. It’s not the same genre, but for me, it has a similar vibe.

Popcorn munching…

I was a commercial artist (animator in AAA studio).

I sold my art, and paid for it with my own soul.

Burnt out.

Now I sketch for joy, not money.

They’re not in trouble. They’ve just become used to fat wads, and that’s ok.

Every corporate clamouring over them the last few years, to show how inclusive they were.

So, once you get used to that, you get used to that.

That’s all it is.

Top shelf response. I’d happily have a drink at a bar or Cafe with you, and chew the fat.

A Bud parody parody. Nice. I like. Parodyception even.

Red Dead Redemption 2. Pretty much anywhere.

I have my lemmy client set to block any items with the word Trump in it. Hence, your question made it through. It’s been a blissful few months, not hearing a thing about him.

This year, I’m going to focus on growing my business, and deepening my relationships. Family and close friends.

Love me some watercolour.

There are definitely some here. I agree.

It’s not nearly as bad as reddit though. Still relatively early days.
