I quit my job in the games industry bc I was getting so bitter and angry and sad about the state of it all and how it drained me creatively. I might return one day but for now I have started my new role being just a regular IT guy answering phonecalls from people needing help with their puter problems and you know what??? I love it. It's relaxing, it's rewarding to feel like I'm helping AND I can draw while waiting for calls.
Sometimes it's ok to recognise when you need a break. Just because a job seems glamorous or cool or like a "dream job" doesn't mean you have to stick to it if it makes you miserable. I feel so much better.

"Artists being scared of AI are like people working with editing, cutting and assembling photos traditionally being scared when Photoshop and digital photo editing became a thing. Fearing new technology" No you dingus. You know what you can do with photoshop???? Photo editing. You don't just tell photoshop to do it for you, YOU still need the skills to do the work. Generative AI models steal existing artwork, feeds it to the garbage machine and spit out garbage based on a prompt. It's not the fucking same you wet piece of bread. We as artists aren't nervous about a new TOOL that can HELP us in the WORK we do. We're not scared of technology. We're frustrated about idiots like you not knowing how to apply new technology in a useful way

I hate seeing AI art slop literally everywhere I hate having to squint suspiciously on every peice of fanart to figure out if it's AI shit or made by an artist. I hate how I just cant trust any image on google or social media anymore. I hate how the place I work for is actively talking about how to use AI internally. I hate it here. I want none of this. Who asked for this? I wish I was a librarian

This year's Tumblr April Fools thing is really nice cus it's like slightly interactive? Like, I see friends who have booped me and I can boop them and it's really nice.. Especially when you're like me, always nervous about bothering people. I see people boop me so many times and it's like oh! I can do that too! I am happy to! I will interact with you! Idk, makes me happy..

feels so good to get a new job and quit your old one when they start asking you to use AI in your workflow as an artist... Fuck off actually???

I haven't followed MHA in years at this point but the spoilers I get piss me off so much I feel like I need to get up to speed with the anime just so I can have an informed opinion if my hate is warranted........

The ask feature on Tumblr is so funny to me truly the way of experiencing writing letters digitally. If you reply privately, just like a physical letter you have no way of knowing if the person ever received it or if they will ever reply. You don't have a proper message history beyond the latest message, everything beyond that is gone. Remarkable. Actual digital pen pals

Why is the silly Vampire Dies anime the one show with such stellar continuity??? I expected at least 80% of the characters to be cheap throwaway gags but no, they remember EVERYTHING and I feel like that makes the anime so much more solid I love all of these idiots

Because yes I do remember the random police officer from season one episode two or whatever where Tsujigiri Nigiri sliced a guy in a flashback I just didn’t think that would matter one season later but here we fucking are and I do appriciate it
