So...I'm kind of learning with the reception of the current ghost in the shell anime series in certain circles that almost nobody who is a "ghost in the shell fan" read the manga..?

Had some time to reflect on Art Fight - I didn't get the chance to attack everyone I wanted to attack because I simply ran out of juice about half way through, but I had a wonderful, wonderful time making kandi for everyone. I will be coming back next year, for sure.

Fundamentally confused by the content prominence green paper published by the British government and YouTube’s response to it - YouTube has had a news tab for years already that pushes trusted British news outlets and the green paper only mentions news broadcasters anyway..?

I used to be of the mindset that mecha was really hard to draw and "oh no i could never draw mecha, it's so intricate and detailed and unlike the organic form" and then I actually tried to draw mecha and found out that it's really fun!

looking at my character references for art fight and this is the first time i've ever felt like my own artwork could be attached to a game and not feel out of place, it's amazing to see how much i've improved since 2022 when I first started drawing properly again.

i think the thing that gets me about these encroaching social media rules coming from my country is that it's not actually going to /improve/ social media as it currently stands. They're essentially sweeping the current tech landscape's problems under the rug

a touhou 6 remake is so important to me, it was my first touhou game and to finally have it in my steam library will be a fantastic treasure the game being officially being translated into so many languages and people on the localisation teams are a part of the THPatch crew is also really nice

on a more light hearted note I think it's really interesting that my short quippy responses where I don't explain my stance at all get more traction than the threads where I explain myself properly
