I think it’s a really great business model for Microsoft that a windows update can brick my computer Great job, really great way to keep me on as a customer

Quietly paranoid that all my tabletop characters who are not tiny gremlin creatures are too similar, because they are all Good, Protective, Highly Attractive Lads who try to look out for the group and maybe I should mix things up a little or lean harder into their Problems.

Whenever I go to an RP event with a lot of chatter going on, I always worry someone will try to interact with me and I'll totally miss it. 😭

There you have it.

Shinichiro Watanabe : "I paid a lot of attention to skin color. Also to using multiple languages. Lots of times when you watch anime, the characters all have white skin — all the characters in fantasy stories all have white skin, which I never liked," Watanabe said: Cowboy Bebop The Jazz Messengers

Samurai Champloo was also Shinichiro Watanabe’s first collaboration with Sayo Yamamoto who went on to direct one of my favorite anime, Michiko e Hatchin. A comedic crime drama & slice of life 26 episode series that actually centers Afro-Brazilians.

Continuing, Watanabe kept this idea moving forward with Samurai Champloo. The acclaimed series may be about the samurai, but the creator said he made sure the anime involved various foreigners, immigrants, and people of different color.

Did we use AI to make our upcoming horror game???

I have eternal gratitude to all my latine friends who taught me the power of vapor rub and how it can magically make insect bites stop being as itchy

Doodles of "Summer" Kyu-jin in two forms. I kinda wanted "Summer" edition Kyu-jin for his token, but he's not usually roaring mad and is more of a focused determined anger

I hate to say it, but people were absolutely right about exercise being great for boosting mood and good for sleep

Its crazy how fast we went from "Cite your sources. Wikipedia is not a good source. Check the sources in Wikipedia" to "Oopsie, I let the AI hallucinate facts/court cases/etc without double checking anything"

Woke up in the middle of the night and brain won't stop running on a hamster wheel

I really hope this takes off. There needs to be a creative storefront marketplace that actually bans genai and drop shipping, and I hope it's a 100% ban. Etsy is completely ruined and not artist friendly. Much luck to Fybe! fybe.art

Pls be proud of me, I uninstalled LaDS until they sort out their shit. Perhaps I will never go back, because damn gachas are predatory.

Ive made a goal on kofi to better express my situation. I hate to be in this position so often but Im at the end of my rope from half a year of extreme stressors o(< I am eternally grateful to my commissioners and anyone who has given even so much as a single dollar.🙏🥲❤️ ko-fi.com/ghastlygabo/...

My new gym trainer is a former ballerina who is now a boxer and that is the most badass job history ever

bottom surgery

Things Dread Pirate Mango has learned over 4 years of living with humans: 1) Butt pats are not the humans launching a surprise attack. They are nice and their weird way of showing affection. 2) I should not bite to show how much I love people. 3) I should not bite to show I want to play

Another layoff in tech. 🫠 idk how people are supposed to get on in this industry

Tiergan would feel amazing and extremely flattered because his mom was a legendary badass in every way that matters.

BIG HOUSING UPDATES PLANNED! YEAH BOIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #FFXIV #Evercold #ff14

Torn between my desire to make art at least once every one or two weeks vs my desire to get a new job.

I hate A.I. far more than the average person, but I expected from the beginning that whoever put this together was *not* representative of the creative team behind the movie. Some of us have *got* to stop rushing to judgment. It's not fair to the artists doing their best.

Over 10 years later and I can finally remove Tiergan's clan marks which were apparently war paint this entire time
