Looking into things, I might pivot to a "simpler" game to learn Blender, Godot, ArmorPaint, Krita, etc. While I technically "know" how to do 80% of what I need to do (to various degrees), tools have changed SO MUCH and I'm realizing I will need to adapt first instead of learning-on-the-go.

Not gonna lie, as someone with a fursuit that'll be 22 years old next month, and still wears it from time to time and barely gets any interactions at cons because it's "not cool" like the new ones? Love this idea/concept. What a way to honor the community's past to celebrate where we are today! <3

Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.

Telegram: "We limited your account because someone reported one of your message." Me: "Which message." Telegram: "You sent an annoying message to a stranger." Me: "I haven't messaged anyone I don't know in years - they contact me. So what message got me limited?" Telegram: "Won't tell you!".

Telegram: Dear Firebreath,
I’m afraid some Telegram users found your messages annoying and forwarded them to our team of moderators for inspection. The moderators have confirmed the report and your account is now limited until 23 Sep 2026, 13:48 UTC.
While the account is limited, you will not be able to do certain things on Telegram, like writing to strangers who haven’t contacted you first or adding them to groups and channels.
Your account will be automatically released on 23 Sep 2026, 13:48 UTC. Please note, that if you keep doing what got you limited and users report you again, the limitations will last longer next time.

Firebreath: Why was I reported?

Telegram: People usually don’t like it when strangers contact them — so they will report you if they find your messages annoying. And if our moderators confirm the report, your account will be limited. Please only contact people if you're sure that they are expecting messages from you.

Firebreath: Tell me more

Telegram: It really doesn‘t matter what you send, as long as the receivers find it unwelcome. It could have been a photo, an invite link or a chain letter. Please only send messages when you are sure people won’t mind getting them.

As a general rule, people don’t like receiving unsolicited advertisements, links, invite links to groups or channels, random photos and, above all, anything related to commerce or promotion of any kind.

Our moderators check all reports, so if you send annoying content to strangers you will be blocked.

Look OQLF, if you can't understand the inherent issue with "peluchiste" to refer to Furries, especially when you admit the existence of "peluchophile", and completely sidestep how close both terms are and how misleading it is for our community... I can't help you. Is your fursona an ostrich??

Addendum: So finding out that a lot of the information available only focuses on keyboard shortcuts, but utterly FAILS to mention menu/toolbar options (if available) doesn't help this feeling. Some stuff is hidden in menus, or literally has a different shortcut depending if you're in a tool or not.

Don't say that's impossible - that was how my first programming teacher would grade our homeworks in 1999. So I know it's real. And it's also EXACTLY how it feels to learn Blender for me, right now. Took me a while to figure out WHY I was feeling so horrible learning it, and I just figured it now.

Imagine going to school to learn coding. The way the teacher corrects your work is that they open their code on the left, and yours on the right. Every time a line is different, a variable is named differently... they deduct points. Your grade reflects how closely your code is to theirs.

Right, so today I learned that while DaVinci Resolve is really good as a video editor (I'm liking it more than my old Adobe Premiere Pro), the integrated Fairlight isn't an audio recorder app. Need something external for that. I'll look more into it... tomorrow. Because now? Cribtime. :x

I want to welcome everyone who's dating a dragon to the wonderful world of entry-level #babyfur caretaking. All thanks to a dragon bathing-- err washing game. First, it starts with wanting to be bathed/washed. And then, fed. And then, tucked into bed... You know where this is going.

Friend did a single playthrough of the dragon washing game for me so I could see what it is like - not really my "usual fare" when it comes to games. I had a lot of fun... making the voices. Pegged all three just as they came in for the first time. Major kudos to the #dragnwash devs! Now to buy it.

Average Blender 3D experience: Tutorial: "Do <thing>, press <shortcut>, then hit <numpad number>." Me: "I don't have a number pad on this keyboard. What do I do?" Blender: "FUCK YOU. You can't do that operation." Me: "This is why you need modal/options input, not just keyboard shortcuts."

Took a while, but finally got the drawing tablet working. Now to find t-pose refs I can use as a base to work on my front/side shots. And then on the textures/materials. Dear dog, this is going to be rough... And I already have the imposter syndrome BS kicking in overdrive... x_x

When the linguistic control provincial governmental body decides that the best term to translate "furry" in French in regards to the Furry Community is basically... ... Plushophile. I... have thoughts. And opinions. And sent them a comment about this.

In retaliation to Trump's decision to unilaterally change the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake <Removed>", Canada has decided to unilaterally change the name of "American Football" to "Runny Handegg" as retaliatory action. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
