I kinda wish I knew how to color correct some of this before sending it out. Been a while, huh? It might happen again. Anyways, G And Doing Too Much.

By the way, I passed Calculus! Applause is welcomed. The world is saved. Still working on projects, and I have a new class this summer. At least it won't be as hard. Good luck to everyone in a similar situation. (Want to lore, need to finish though.)

Includes ONE bad word. That's why it was censored (I actually didn't know that was a rating button, I thought it was a visibility filter).

Actually, you know what? Thank you. Out of all the s--- I've dealt with, this wraps up literally every reason for why I've felt out of place in society at all times. By the way, makes trying to learn that much harder too because you're trying to fight a standardized sleep schedule while also trying to drive and park, run to classes, and often study at a college campus. I was literally so tired that I laid down in my driver seat in the parking thinking I had time, and accidentally slept past one of the classes. Firsthand experience: None of that helps, especially on an exam. As soon as online classes were more of a thing, grades went up, on time. Still sucked at exams, but at least I had a CHANCE to learn. I feel grateful to know people have struggles like mine, and for that one morning person that decided to chime in, "F--- you, you don't know what you got." Signed (but more accurately "typed", you pretentious f---), GtheTired (an actual night owl)

Ok wait let her speak

I hate social interaction day.

Managed to get something done while being bombarded with Calc homework. I've kind of dropped the whole "do it at a time period" shtick. I'm just gonna do it when it's "vaguely daytime". Also, this isn't any real commentary, by the by, just a joke.

I decided to do something special this April Fools. This one is: G and Icecream.

Dear Com Infinitycow Eplay (Interesting name, by the way),

I appreciate your thoughtful and meaningful question. And of such, I think it would be rude of me to not acknowledge it. Now, I am unsure of what business Play Google Com is, and am thus, unfortunately, unable to provide details about their storefront's apps. It is quite surprising to me that Google has released yet another side business, which, give or take, may or may not be illegal on account of building monopoly that may take more sales percentage in the economy, even though they technically already do that. But if I had to guess, I would say that perhaps this is better sufficed to ask the store managers and clerks rather than to ask this random dude on the internet. On the other hand, I am quite knowledgeable about the apps on Google Play, and the apps there are mostly created by several different kinds of developers. Apps might be developed on such languages like Cobalt, C#, and Python, but they may also be developed on software which have mobile game compatibility like Unity, Godot, and maybe even Unreal Engine (don't quote me on that though). In any case, there are quite a lot of different categories, some of which are Adventure, Puzzle, Platformer, etc. There may be other apps which are NOT categorized as games, but again, this is what I know of the Google Play Application. Thank you again, Com, for this delightful gouging of my brain informations.

Yours truly with love, ~<3

This is kind of a reflection of my general sentiment about "generations", just because some journalists realized how to count to 10.

I am the tired, but boy oh boy, there are still things to be done. I actually decided to make a better border for the comic cause, I don't know, figured I would try it. It's okay, but maybe I'll try something different next time. I might also experiment with something other than the 6-panel formula I've been going with. Hell, maybe I'll add a JIFF in there if it's appropriate, who knows?

Here's an art post. I like to make illustrations from time to time with no discernable themes. So, interpret it however you want. I have other ones, but maybe I'll show it if there's enough interest.

At first I was going to add some details, but eventually, I settled on just going with flat colors and some shading. I digged it. It is named, "The Vulnerable and Miserable".

[gtheguy]

Here be another one. Probably should have gotten a different mask. Also, I have an actual art post later, but that's going to require...a bit of hoops to jump through.

I think this will be a regular routine. I usually have GIF of the week, but college has been rather difficult (which is ironic considering the GIFs should be faster, don't question it). This one is G and Ooga Booga.

The type of parents who argue that simply putting food on the table and keeping a roof over their kids' head is sufficient parenting are always so shocked when their children no longer want to deal with them once they've got their own place and can buy their own groceries. Like what else did you expect to happen? You told the people who had no other choice than rely on you for food and shelter that asking for any more than that is unreasonable of them, and then they don't go to you for anything once they can get those some other way. What would they go to their parents for?

They've got food at the house.

Hello Tumblr! This will be the first post I do.

I came to the realization that maybe I don't need to Glaze AND Nightshade my work, so I won't. It's not really good enough to need it. But here it is, a belated February comic (of course, this won't make sense without context, but whatever).

But while I'm here, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm GtheGuy, G for short, I am an artist with several other hobbies. Technically my coms are open, but I'm not quite ready to receive people just yet. Still, if you'd like to look at some of my work, I'll post a carrd later...Later though, I'm still sorting through my stuff.

Also, I always appreciate feedback. I don't get enough of that.

Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.

Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.

Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?

So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)

Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.

Please do reblog for awareness.
