I think the past few years have utterly shattered what little faith I had in the general population

not to mention within the last few years Donald J Trump got reelected on an outwardly actively disgustingly unabashedly racist campaign. hard to imagine anything ever getting better when it seems like the majority population are meat lumps with brains that can be best described as vestigial

like not to be a doomer but the layman actively uses generative AI. Thats fucking crazy. the average person thinks dogshit AI art looks presentable. I’ve seen dozens of people *praise* it even. that’s completely insane. millions of people ask chat bots questions and expect accurate answers. jesus.

give me characters to draw. I probably won’t, but give me them anyway. preferably non-human but if I fuck with their design enough human is also fine

meows paws at you rolls around on my back bites the absolute fuck out of your hand

I don’t even hate my job or anything it just would be awesome to not have to do it

play YIIK btw, its literally about delusional motherfuckers getting engrossed in true crime mysticism with direct and immediate correlations to the Elisa Lam case. Its a good game when you don't have youtubers in your ear saying you have to hate it.

like obviously that’s an inevitability with characters that are essentially stuck in time (or where time passing is way slower for them) but it’s just odd to think. When I made these guys they were older than me, and now they are not. it changes how I view them a little. it’s slight, but it’s there

come my next birthday I’ll be as old as my (current) oldest 20s-aged TTRPG character. huh.

he is *the* best sonic artist in my opinion… yes this is filtered through Archie nostalgia but the shapes he gives him hit idk, it’s just perfect, it’s so Sonic

the enemy of my enemy is not my friend, if you hate the right things for the wrong reasons you are also my enemy

Hi, everyone! I'm still working hard on the Katana ZERO DLC. We made it bigger. It's the size of a full sequel, plus a soundtrack of over 30+ new songs. More updates to come. Thanks for your continued support!

I routinely undervalue myself as an artist because I don’t put in the work my peers do, will never have the work ethic to make it a source of income, and I regularly go several months without making anything, but I need to remind myself that that doesn’t matter literally at all

I love my art, I have friends that love my art, and the things I make are meaningful to me. That makes me a good artist. I shouldn’t feel ashamed calling myself an artist just because I don’t put in work every day, or every week, or even every month. I am not less valuable than my peers

“no ethical consumption under capitalism” is not reason to turn a blind eye to people owning brands you like funding horrible shit

it’s one thing if you need groceries and every affordable piece of produce comes from slave labor. it’s a whole different thing to actively seek to give your time and money to Harry Potter and Chick-Fil-A and FNAF. One is near unavoidable, the other is hard to even call an *inconvenience*

anyways I’ve been thinking about this again bsky.app/profile/zyph...

there is no ethical consumption under capitalism and whatever, but I do think most of you could be doing a lot better with who you give your money to

it’s like running around the elementary school playground acting like I’m Sonic the hedgehog except instead I’m sitting at a table and pretending I’m my own oc

I’ve had my cat sona for 5 years now which feels wrong because idk what I’ve even done these past 5 years
