like i wouldnt mind like. Not having new linear games post 5 its judt that sims 4 wasnt even supposed to Be The Sims 4 it was a last minute pivot and the base code is so outdated and was broken On launch so like. i just wish we could have the final actual sims game be like. one that was always intented to be a major sims release AND be intended to be so long term . yk
#i dont even want like. Ooh major graphical updates whatever if sims 5 was announced and they looked photorealizstic id hurl i wouldnt play#it#my ideal would ig be sims 4 with a touch more realism style wise. if this makes sense#like its a bittt too cartoony for me but i like the like. Clay hair or whatever SJFNFJ. and i think having it be simple in basegame means#you can customize it easier + itd run better on more pcs#so im fine eith that. i would nottt want it more cartoony#i also like. I understand the sims is like. an all ages game i do sometimes wish that the animations in 4 were a bit toned down#like i dont mind silly goofy wacky stuff i think its fun and like. The sims has always been a bit sillay yk. but the overexaggerated#animations r sometimes like -_-.... to me. but thats personal preference#IDK. the tags that show up when i type idk r so funny. do i ever know anything. sources say no#BUT ya i just rly wish like. if this is what they wanna do i wish theyd give us One more full game give it lots of time and love and rly rly#focus on having it excel at like. being this partnof the sims#since they wanna have like. Other sims games that have online features and multiplayer and everything. they could use that to make sure that#ts5 was Rly solid as a foundation and as like. ykwim..... they could plan updates for the future And dlc or whatever and i just think itd be#a better move than trying to make sims 4 happen#bc i judt dont think With all the updates in the world. sims 4 wont ever be like. what it couldve been. yk. i just dont think you can make#it work without Fullllyyyy just starting over.#and at this point with like..so many modders and stuff and everything and how much dlc there is thatd be impossible Esp if they keep#releasing new stuff which. They will ^_^#idk. im excited for some other lifesim games im keeping my eye out#but i rly do love the sims and i just wish that it could be as good as it could be. It has such a huge budget and team and like. if ea would#stop just trying to make as much money as possible off it i feel like they could make Such an amazing game. not to put down indie gamedevs#at all the games jve been looking at look Incredible like.. yk. but the fact those games are so good eith FAR smaller teams and budgets is#like. imagine what we could have if the sims had that amt of care and time put into it.#but whatever whatever whatever. sorry im just rambling#again ik what i would want from my platonic ideal of a sims game isnt what everyone would eant#but idk. i feel like another good step might be like. making the other sims games more available and updating them so they run better on#modern pcs. but i dont think thatll ever happen DNDNFJFNFN.

being poor is literally so miserable
#i hate this so much i hope one day there is enough money for me to actually do something go somewhere buy something i want#and my bday is coming up and i have literally $0. i wish there was anything beyond just enough to pay rent (barely) and eat (sometimes)#idk im just bitching i guess but like holy fuck im so stressed 100% if the time and just wish i had room for a tiny bit of retail therapy#things should turn around soon i hope but then again it seems like money just evaporates no matter how much math i do#idk im just a leech anyways so i have no claim to any of it#and obviously when people are in the same situation as me their first thought isnt to give it away as a gift to someone else its to get#somerhing for themselves like i am saying i want to do. obviously. i would be in the same boat#but holy fuck i dont get graphic design commissions anymore because logos dont get changed very often so my only repeat customer hasnt come#back for more any time recently#and no one buys any of the products i make#and i dont have supplies to make anything new#and so i just wont have money.#god being poor fucking sucks so badly it sucks so fucking badly#i should be grateful i have a roof over my head but like holy fuck i wish i could relax let alone buy something for myself WITHOUT THE#PRESSURE OF FEELING LIKE IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING I CAN MAKE MY MONEY BACK FROM. i have a bad habit of thinking anything i do for myself that#doesnt somehow streamline a chore or produce soemthing i can sell or serve some purpose to other people aside from myself i shouldnt get it#even if i really want it#so i have a wishlist of like 1500 items ill probably never buy despite me still wanting them after years#i just look at them and imagine what itd be like to have them lmfao is that pathetic?#fellas is it pathetic to have desires#idk ive been stuck in this same exact spot for years and thats just how it goes#idk when the last time was that i actually bought something i just Wanted tbh. its all been needs or something rhat in my mind if i could#force myself to keep at it and really Create something that i could Sell it and get money out of it because thats all i fucking get a#chance to think about is money#another pathetic birthday for another dismal fucking year#^ peak pessimism#слова-паразиты

You'r eunder no obligation to reply but I'd like to ask, how do you keep your head up these days considering the genocide? It's been nearly five months now, my entire family is giving up the stirke and falling into propoganda, and every time i think "surely this is the end, no way the us will keep supporting this, israel is on limited time" i keep seeing no end in my twitter feed to the countless losses, i keep seeing gore and childrens butchered on my tiktok. i dont wanna lose hope or faith but ive started feeling so depressed these days that i dont even wanna open my social media because i know what ill see. it might sound selfish but i hope i can open up my tiktok and see silly little people doing trends again instead of seeing one between 6 posts asking to use filters so that they can donate and detailing the necessities that israel banned from palestine and it just feels so soul crushing and hopeless. it makes me feel worse because if im tired of it then how do palestanians cope being in it? if you have any tips or good news id be grateful
hi anon. A lot of what Palestinians report first-hand is graphic, and horrifying, and would contribute to that soul-crushing feeling. But they are so tenacious, they have so much love for their people, their country. Often, Bisan or Motaz or Plestia when she was still in Gaza will share little slices of joy from displaced Palestinians. It reinvigorates me, and I'll often return to watch them when things seem dire.
A baby in Gaza, blessedly unaware of the horrors. Look at that smile!
A Palestinian mother makes donuts for her children, and offers Bisan one as she prepares for an interview. She (the mother) talks about how she makes treats like this to try to cheer up her children, how she keeps herself busy like this so she can't feel the grief of the situation. It is expensive to buy firewood these days, and flour. At her side, her children chip away at a block of wood to help her.
if you'd like to support people like this family, donate to CareforGaza, which directly distributes supplies and money to families in need. They have stopped donations to their Gofundme campaign due to overwhelming support, but you can still donate via the paypal link in their bio.
Young Palestinians parkour in the ruins of Gaza, to show that Israeli bombing will not kill their spirits.
Mo, a Palestinian man, buys cat food after searching for two days straight, and feeds the stray cats in Gaza.
Palestinian children at a refugee camp filming a cute video.
Although they've lost their home, a Palestinian family gather to celebrate their youngest child's birthday, complete with a small cake and a birthday hat.
Bisan makes bread in Khan Younis.
Palestinians celebrate the birthday of an injured girl in hospital, with a small cake. One of them has dressed up as a clown.
After losing 22 members of his family and being injured in a bombardment, a Palestinian man named Mohammed Al Ghandour marries his fiance in a tent.
A Palestinian journalist plays with a baby who survived an airstrike.
@/nisreendiary on TikTok documents the process of making fresh bread in a tent in a calming video.
I got most of these off twitter, from this thread. Twitter is a hellscape at the best of times, but the easy communication it provides is a blessing. I'll try to share more of the good news here, as they pop up. In the future, I recommend you follow Eye on Palestine, or Al Jazeera if you'd like to stay informed on the situation in Gaza with minimal scrolling.
#keep your head up anon#theres no losing hope when palestinians find time and space in hell to feel joy#palestine#free palestine#free gaza#free west bank#palestine support

How bout we make videogames like we used to, without those 54K ultra HD graphics that look like utter shit with ultra realistic faces that move like robots. How about we start making videogames like before with great story telling instead of focusing on bullshit social stuff. All companies should look at the gamecube games and how they were made, try to get the reason of WHY they were so fucking insanly addictive amazingly good. F-zero GX, Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, Suepr Mario Sunshine, Pokemon Colosseum/XD. On xbox, Ninja Blade, just constant action all the while keeping the story fresh. Dead Space 1 and 2, ACTUAL horror, not playing pretend. On other consoles, Resident Evil 4, not that shitty ass chinese counterfeit mf discount ass, soulless remake they gave us as a corpo cash grab. Tekken7 and all the Super Smash Bros.
Stop with these extensions and dlcs and mechanical graphics bro. Idk what to play anymore, if i dont play F.E.A.R., i play ultrakill. I tried Dying Light and the only thing more boring than this pile of hot garbage is a fucking british wedding. Lethal Company is fun for the first 10 seconds after you landed, die once and it becomes unplayable.
Im done with this shit. Anytime I hear of a new game I get bored already. Make games fun again pls what is happening...the graphics mah guy, they don't need to look realistic idgaf if it's pixelized like hell, just make it look good. No need for that mass effect mess. Hehe mess effect.
But now you're gonne tell me "clyde just play black myth wukong or warhammer space marine 2". The absolute war machine you need to just run those games or even have the capacity to store them??? Are you kidding? Is it a videogame or a fucking 5 terrabytes government set of documents?? Tf?? These stupid companies use more and more money to create games and it is less and less profitable for them to do so. It's awful.
#mario#metroid#dying light#f zero gx#ninja blade#pokemon colosseum#pokemon xd#F.E.A.R.#lethal company#ultrakill

My parents found out about the present I bought myself for my birthday. I worked my max hours to afford it. I had it shipped to my bfs house so they wouldn't see it. Apparently I missed a receipt that was hidden in the box. Idk how they got it anyway cause I put the box out with the trash/recycling. My mom was being so cruel about it and how I keep buying myself "lavish" gifts (most stuff I buy for fun is like $10-$50 max). I always plan my purchases and have never missed a credit card payment. Most of my money goes towards doctors visits, medication, car maintenance and gas, accessibility items/ergonomic stuff, cat food and litter, and hygiene. Recently I stopped most of my subscriptions save for a cheap minecraft server. The bulk of my pay goes into savings which have really grown since I got my raise. I also give my parents $400 in rent each month. I'm trying to save up for a recliner to replace my bed but I don't want to use the money I've already put away.
Like ok, maybe I'm not mr.frugal. maybe i sometimes buy more expensive things because they're more convenient (like already cut vegetables/fruit or preprepared meals) but like my hands fucking hurt and sometimes I don't have the spoons to feed myself. Maybe I fall prey to impulse purchases once in a while. Im learning and I'm trying to learn how to budget bc now I have to also pay for insurance until I can get on medicaid.
My mom acts like I don't care. She sees amazon packages come for me and think theyre all toys or expensive skincare or junk when its actually body wipes for when I cant shower/so i dont come back from the field to the office all stinky. Its a trash can I can keep on my bedshelf so I dont throw trash onto the floor instead. Its knee braces because my knees fucking suck. Once in a while Ill see something on sale that ive been wanting for a while and will grab it. And the most expensive skincare I use is $20 for a jar that lasts me 3 months. I have to keep my skin clear or ill pick and have scabs and blood all over my face again. I spend money on drag because it MAKES me money. Last time I got paid $100 from the venue and $50 in tips. One time I got paid $300 from the venue (i dont remember how much in tips).
Im trying my best. Im working with 3 government agencies rn to get a job and get health coverage. Im working my ass off at my job when i probably shouldnt be working (my mom laughed when I mentioned this). I'm constantly doing things to earn me money or to make life a bit less painful. Even streaming is a desperate attempt to make a career/side gig out of something I enjoy and doesn't make me flare up. I only watch shows when im with my bf or when im doing chores or working. I rarely play video games. When I flare I lay in bed and scroll Tumblr or play a mindless dress up game where I only have to move my thumb. I cry almost everyday. I cry on the way to work. I cry holding my cat in so much pain i cant move.
The only big frivilous purchases I've made is the present and a new graphics card (I haven't replaced my old one in a decade). The present cost $230 and the graphics card cost $800. Both of these I saved for. I might buy a nice skirt once in a while but thats pretty much it. I also spread out big purchases over time when I can.
Am I spoiled? Maybe. Maybe my parents are right and I'm a lazy spoiled kid who just makes excuses. But my pain is real, constant, and severe.
I have friends who's birthday presents consist of trips to fucking italy or the bahamas. Who complain when their parents drag them on yet another international vacation. Some are amazing people who are grateful and work their asses off. And some of them are a bit entitled. My mom said most 26 year olds are living on their own with jobs and I fucking laughed. The only 26 year olds with their own apartments especially in my area either have 5 roommates in a 2 bedroom shithole, got lucky and have a high paying tech job, their parents pulled strings to get them hired, or their parents are paying partly or fully for their apartment.
And when i tried to find an apartment? She discouraged me and told me id never be able to afford one (correct) but now im suddenly able to when it suits her argument? Ive been heavily job hunting for over a year and got ONE interview who ghosted me after two interviews. I make $2k MAX. Rent in my area is $1700-2500 for a freaking studio. The $1700 one doesn't let you see the apartment and gets snapped up immediately. And these are all apartments within a 2 hour radius. All the "affordable housing" is for people 55 and older.
Like I literally have no options. I can't move until I get a job in that area. I can't leave the country cause Im disabled and also thats fucking expensive. My bf makes less than me and even combined we couldn't afford a place.
Literally, I've never been suicidal before. Ive never struggled with that due to my fear of death. But all of this? Ive recently had suicidal thoughts and its fucking scary. Thoughts that killing myself would make it easier for everyone else. That it would be easier to just end it, that life will always be a living hell and i should just give up. And thats fucking scary! I shouldn't have those thoughts! But that's how bad it is.
I try to do what my therapist told me. I try to set boundaries. But setting a boundary means not eating dinner bc I leave when my parents yell at me. I try to think positively and ignore the pain. I probably walk an average of 1-2 miles a day. I try and try and try and it hurts so much. They can't be proud of me? For even big victories? Guilting me about graduation cause I took too long. Keeping a job for more than a year (its not a REAL job cause its hourly and doesnt have benefits).
Like what's the point? I've been fighting and fighting and most of the world wants to see me dead and gone anyway. I'm trying to work in a field that doesn't even consider people like me. If I cant work Ill just bring my boyfriend and my family down. Every step forward I manage to take I get dragged back 10.
Im so tired and ashamed and stressed and my fucking body hurts worse now because of the stress and i just dont want to wake up tomorrow.

But I eventually returned it and bought another one - even better one :> Buuuut here comes another issue, I have only 2 power cords for card and its need 3. I think I see there is one more tho I dont know how to open this power thingy aaaaaang i unplugged my mother board to not destroy anything while trying to take it out. Welp, idk how to plug in again >Xd but I asked my brother-in-law for help and he will come tomorrow and we will try to sort it out. Unless I dont have good enough power supply - then I need to replace it too ;) but I guess it will be just few days more. So I will be fully back tomorrow or next week ;p
this art is kinda scribble but I felt like I cant draw anymore >XD after some time I could controll my hand enough to keep drawing so sorry if my upcoming arts will be a bit rusty ;p

hi its me again. havent sent in one in with this kin in a while but. i feel i should post more fics i have about my source but, i dont want to flood my source tag with them. i dont think everyone there would like them. i could try ao3 but idk how to work it with actually posting them. kinda just feeling stuck. i do have a writing blog so it's not a total loss.
but i do have some good news!!! i bought the first four games of source on steam since i had the money and an account finally. i only played the room one and the room three so far at least, and both of them are so much better graphically than the mobile games (but i still prefer them). one thing ive noticed is that the room one lagged a bunch on my computer, dont know if its a game issue or just my computer, but i managed to get to the epilogue.
think thats about it for this small update. i hope everyone has a calm time whenever you see this. see yall when i kinfess again! - null element (the room), #📼⚖️

oh boy im stressed. gonna vent if you dont mind
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
im stressed about money again
everything seems to be going wrong financially at the worst possible time, all at once
our rent was raised by two hundred bucks. we’re barely scraping by as it is, and this drained what little we had in the bank. there’s no money for food or gas for two weeks. we’ll be lucky to be able to afford next month. my graphics card is dying and i get blue screen errors DAILY. when it does kick the bucket, I wont be able to draw so theres no chance of even earning anything to get a new one, which is like another $200+ at best. I have a doctor’s appointment next week that costs $160 out of pocket, which again we don’t have gas money to get to, but if I don’t get to it I can’t get my hormones. not to mention i’m losing my EBT benefits until mid september because of an error in paperwork, so we dont even have that to fall back on.
im. ugh. ugh dude. its like $600. between the replacement part and gas and bills and medication and food for the family for two weeks. i don’t even have SIX dollars to spare, let alone six hundred!!!
fuck man. im so tired of this

Ok i didnt want to watch before but my gf just brought it up again and he might be getting 15 years so i had to actually watch
And so far, actually, i dont think this compares to the whole rape rap thing, this is like, appealing? He's soooo hot oiled up and dancing (good dancer 👀), its american culture to fuck around with statues on trips, is there any proof he knew the context of the statue......i guess its in the thing of, the oil plus diddy goes to places for people.....but, diddy just stands accused and people have liked his music for time...like, male strippers might have had him in rotation? This is a strip tease, provocative yes, but he's in his head about black identity and courting controversy, not how fucked up war is and how big of an abomination sexual slavery is....in a way he's celebrating his own sense of emancipation, even from concern about stereotypes and stigmas.....tyler did too but like, he didnt make it sexy imo...the underlying gesture of it isnt really as violent or hateful its mainly ignorant and maybe somewhat unkind
He probably expected everyone to be polite like people in japan were to logan paul or whatever
I heard theres a bounty on him
This is the strongest defense i can make and it just reads like i only think its a problem when its a white woman. For the record, taylor swift is not a statue shes a living human being. Shes not a symbol of a person who suffered, she is an organism capable of suffering
Eta im 11 mins in; so, he went to japan first and everyone was like "uhhhhhhh lets......be polite to this asshole i guess"
Being as close to the exact representation of black people the neonazis want = views + $$$$
Introducing nuance after that is a highwire act of trying to have and eat the cake
Like its desperate to court the audience that wants anyone to wander around asia loudly calling people npcs, but desperation is the predominant aesthetic of capitalism
That dude who punched him? Captain korea? Holy fffuuuuck that dude is insanely hot
Tangentially that was very will smith at the grammys of him
Im not a huuuuuge fan of that kind of escalated rejoinder but like, yknow, penalty box
Now the jail issue, i guess i need more info? He didnt assault anyone living where the charges were filed, right? He's just aggressively offensive?
Like, im assuming his self-justification is that its antiblack to not help him get his bag off whoever is paying for this shit, and i assume he's like this because of the traumatic socialization associated with having to win over a bunch of dirtbag white boys in school as a somalian immigrant with a muslimy name
I understand that that context probably stands out most to he, himself, existing as he does in his profoundly antisocial bubble of shithead validation........so maybe i dont even need to make his case but, like, i feel like compassionately investigating motive and pathos and stuff are being bypassed in favor of congratulations for the vigilante violence about his racist buffoonery
And thats not going to keep this kind of content from attracting new creators, because its lucrative
But of course, like with most money things, its a deathtrap
Eta ohhh that conair ref eeeesh yikes now it IS rape threats
Eta 47 mins in and he's graphically adsaulting one of the statues, this dude is so fucking stupid
Eta looking it up, he's born in Phoenix AZ eeeesh bad air........grew up on 4chan? or his fans/peers did
They have some of the worst smog in the usa if not the worst, in Phoenix

last night a cis woman asked me if I liked her top and it ended up making me cry
oh, it looks great, i said, but what's 'kors'?
"WHAAAT? Don't pretend you don't know who that is, EVERYONE knows michael kors! You know, the fashion designer?"
can't say i do, i respond
"Wow, that's surprising! well, what's your favorite brand?"
favorite brand. what an odd concept.
how do i tell her ive never been interested in flashy expensive things. that even in a magical world where price is no object, i dont have the luxury of being choosy about where my clothes come from, that i dont get to have a wide selection of clothes because the powers that be running the clothing lines have deemed my body Too Big to be worthy of flattering or fun outifts, that i have to get whatever fits me from whoever sells it, that fat women are only accommodated if they're curvy in the Right Way, that tall women must be supermodel-thin?
how do i tell her that no, i don't know all the labels, because when i was growing up the clothes i wore were often whatever bland stuff i got at christmas, or dumb edgy hot topic graphic tees and jnco jeans and tripp pants, or polos and cargo shorts, or mechanic coveralls? that if i'd ever shown any interest in fashion, the boys at school would have beaten my ass, and called me a faggot even more than they already did; hell, maybe my dad would have, too
how do i tell her that where she and my mom and all the other cis women in my life have decades of cultural context and marketing and rebellion against the marketing and cultural discourse and whatever the complete gestalt of GIRLHOOD is and its effect on tastes informing their response to such a question, i just have a gaping thirty-year void of twisted feelings and avoiding things like "my appearance" as much as possible and painful memories and dissociation and trauma and enforced male gender roles and interests that rolled off my mind like a duck's back leaving me a shell of a young adult?
how do i tell her that my sole desire is to tear down the entire edifice of the Fashion Industry and the capitalist system that runs it and the class that benefits from my suffering and my insecurity and my desperation that drives me to buy clothes that fit at a 50% markup if they're available in my size at all, and replace it with a world where clothes just Last and you don't have to keep up with trends and every single person can get comfortable, beautiful clothes tailored to them without having to fork over money to a company that employs slave labor?
how do i tell her that even in asking the question, i'm reminded of the yawning chasm between their upbringings and mine, that i never had a pretty senior portrait or a tacky prom dress or goofy rebelliously short-skirted outfits that i can look back on and shake my head with a smile, that i would need another thirty years of immersion in that world to even have a prayer of answering that, that i'm too busy stressing over whether next month there'll be new laws that kick me off my hrt again, that it's yet another gut-punch of an interaction reminding me that in some people's eyes I'll be forever marked out as a Different Kind of woman?
well, i mean, i say, hugging myself and averting my gaze, i'm so big that finding things in my size is amlost impossible, and honestly the whole experience is so stressful i just don't bother most of the time.
"Ooooh you sohuld start your own clothing line tailored to girls like you! That'd be fun, right?"
#i honestly dont want to tag any of this shit#it's just a bunch of dysphoria venting spurred by an innocent question by a well meaning but ignorant family friend#that dredged up a million complicated feelings#last thing i need is ppl actually finding it and interacting but if you were gonna reblog this one please dont#just. who has time to even think about this shit when the worlds on fire

I take it back, i take back what i said about the fact it could be good.... In order for this game to be good, its like New World or Elden Ring all over again. They need another two years golly
I was running it on high/epic graphics with a 3060, and it looked like the LOTR online mmorpg type of crappy graphics. There was a lot of screen tearing, and giant frames literally being out of place an inch to the left from where its supposed to be. I was getting a really good 100fps too which is what makes it weird.
Characters that held on like a staff or something, their hands werent even touching said staff, it was awkwardly floating. Like a 15 year old attempting 3d art design on blender for the first time.
and the character designs... theres no soul. no life. The only way I can explain how soulless they look, is that Sirius Black when a dementor took his soul away - HAD more soul than the Characters
Gameplay itself is super clunky, like Gollum would glitch backwards whenever you stopped walking cause it's not properly animated/smoothed out. I can't even think of an example of how to explain how bad it is.
Anyways.. yeah... its really bad dont get it.. id keep an eye on it for a few months to a year to see if it gets better... Big sad im gonna go mow the lawn now
Yeah, I watched some streams yesterday and... oof. Even people with high-end PCs had trouble with the graphics and the overall performance. :(
As for the characters and their designs, I actually found them interesting at first. It's so different from every visual representation of Middle Earth that I've seen so far. I do enjoy some design choices Daedalic made, but most of them look just weird. A lot of characters look like they're in a beta stage... like the design is there and but the final touch, the polish that makes them look alive is missing. Not to mention that a lot of movements look so stiff. Have you tried changing directions mid-jump? It looks so silly. 👀
I hope Daedalic will patch these things because I really want to play and enjoy this game, but right now... I don't want to spend money on some half-finished product. It's been such a huge problem in the last couple of years, that games have a full release when they're obviously in a beta, maybe even alpha, stage and I don't want to support that.
I'm just so disappointed with Daedalic. I love their games, and I had high hopes for Gollum. :(

BIG life update + ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!
Hi my little darklings <3
Here I come with this big life update and some announcements!
So first - Im feeling way better and I can say I will be truly active and post a lot <3 Im so excited!
Important thing - I drew those Patreon prints I owed some people: I will send mail in March and it will have prints for November, December, January and February [+ for March if you will still be my Patron]. Im sorry it took me eternity to catch up on those but finally I can send you those <3 Im super super grateful for your support and understanding that my health was killing me
Print for February will be sent to everyone who are my Patron before 10th of March! Plus then you also will get March one ;p
I gonna focus a lot on my YT this year, I wanna post there artistic stuff but also life vlogs and some gaming. And I will be posting speedpaints where I talk in background ;p My goal is to post 3 videos per week at some point. I also hope to maybe do weekly livestreams?
My other focus will be my Patreon, I wanna go back to posting all planned stuff :> I might do little changes to Patreon tiers but I will let you know!
Oh, about that Gorenuary challenge... Yes, I failed it ;p But I gonna draw arts for every prompt anyway ^^ Hopefully I will finish it to the end of a year hahah >XD
I have idea for some bigger projects for this year, like I wanna start making new game and work on some horror ARG :> I wanna also come back to working a lot on my universe Terroether ^^ Hopefully I will make big progress in designing/redesigning my ocs! I also hope to come back to making lil animations and animatics :>
My health still isnt perfect, also some of illnesses will be present for a rest of my life. I decided to live my life with accepting this as I cant do anything about this. So there will be days I wont do anything. My meds and doctors are super expensive, thankfully right now my parents support us a lot financially. If you wanna donate to help me go through it here is my fundraiser: https://pomagam.pl/nhg96m I will be updating it when it comes to my health
Also, great news - my parents said I dont owe them money I borrowed to upgrade my graphic card. They gave my brother money for car so Im not in debt ;p daaaaaaaaaaaamn, Im so happy about this!
Im again happy and full of motivation; I was able to escape depressive episodes [hopefully they wont be back too often {cause of borderline}] and I found joy in creating again. Im not terrified anymore if Im not good enough or what others think about me. So I hope I will be able to draw and post again regularly :>
Okay, I guess thats all for now :> I missed you a lot guys and I hope to be truly back for real this time :>

"EA" IS A JOKE.
How can you blame us Ea? Are you for real?
You priced a game at 70€ while it is not even playable.
It isnt PC community's fault that you cant do things properly! How can you blame us about our pc's? Are we all supposed to have the same rig and the same amount of money?
Im sorry if i live in portugal and i cant buy a 5000€ Computer just to play the trash you developed (trash in terms of performance, not storyline).
When we buy a Pc is because we want to be able to lower or rise the graphic settings. Some of us build a "cheaper" computer because we are aiming to play games on 1080p on high settings at 60fps. Its not my fault i dont have the money to buy a 4k monitor and a 5000€ computer.
When i built my computer 3 years ago, i spent around 1200€. I bought a "gtx 1660 super" and a "i5 10400f" with 16gb of ram and 1tb of ssd. My pc is pretty good for AAA games on 1080p. Im always able to run the new titles at high settings with 60fps. I am mad because i know survivor could easily be playable at 60 fps with this rig if they'd optimize it properly. It is not that much different from fallen order and i was able to play fallen order at 90 fps on high settings.
About combining high end GPU's with "Lower" ( not actually, ea is just dumb, but ok) performing cpus:
Ea some of us prefer to buy a 200€ cpu with a 500€ gpu because we know it will run the good games at 60fps 1440p high/ultra and it will last for 4/5 years.
Again not everyone is able to buy a 600€ cpu with a 1300€ gpu.
"While there is no single comprehensive solution for Pc" WHAT A JOKE! What you mean is "buy a console instead because we dont give a fuck about the pc community".
EA IS A FRAUD! FIX THE GAME! WE DESERVE BETTER!
