I draw for tabletop games and occasionally write. https://symberzite.neocities.org/

My Tumblr feed is an array of gambling ads punctured by really good artwork and TTRPG recommendations. My Bluesky feed is mostly porn (no complaints). My ElonWorld feed is mostly stuff that raises my cortisol.

I legit think broader society needs a healthy body positivity movement that teaches people to both accept themselves for who they are, while learning on what they can improve (e.g. styling, haircuts, skincare, shoes, etc.) Because I've been thinking about kids smashing their faces with hammers.

I've been working on my website and just... lurking the web revival community and there's one thing I've noticed. The profit incentive kind of destroyed the internet where it kind of forces in the long term to turn all content into lowest common denominator garbage.

Absolutely stupid and irrational thing, but I genuinely cannot get into either checkers or go. I can't explain it, but I don't get any joy if I'm doing well and I feel horrible for the rest of the day if I lose. I've noticed it and I'm struggling to explain it.

Maybe I'm being conspiratorial, but we wouldn't even need chatbots if most search engines didn't heavily degrade in the past few years. Simple questions such as "what is the term for X system in Y field" now yield weird or unnecessary results.

I've been a bit pessimistic in the past... a few years with how humanity has been going, but I'm still happy that the internet exists in some form. People were violent, bigoted and chauvinistic since the dawn of time, but the internet allows you to see that there are exceptions to that.

I put on Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure while drawing and unfortunately it captured my attention. It kind of fascinated me how optimistic it felt in a way that it's hard to replicate nowadays. Optimism machine broke :(

I'm kind of stuck self publishing creative stuff, comics, zines, etc. While I love the idea of learning the ins and outs of the process (like misprinting the cover of a game), I genuinely appreciate good editorial feedback One thing I miss about working in concept art is the feedback from directors
