Hello! I am Dire!
I draw a fair bit of D&D art, some OCs, some assorted fanart for games/comics/animation.

The technology basically peaked. It's all incremental tinkering now. Like with digital cameras - the technical differences between the highest end products are only of interest to a tiny percentage of experts. Which might be part of the reason for "AI" being pushed in everything.
My phone is doing all the same things from 2015 with only minimal benefits. The only reason we have to upgrade is increased software bloat.
We should actually just have phones that last 15 years now.

Going through my inks and nibs (another victim of baby proofing). 3 of my nibs I had won in an art comp at a now defunct anime con.
On a whim I wondered if the store supplying the prizes was still around.
They are! And it looks like they haven't updated their website since 2005.

At some point in the baby proofing process, so much of our things got packed away.
The switch to streaming media assisted in the process of packing away all our CDs into emptied boxes of huggies.

The thing that kills me about the LUMI AI stuff is that kids should be, and frequently are, bad at stuff. Allow them to have the experience of being bad at stuff by themselves.

When on my period I used to quote Heavy weapons guy from TF2 "SO MUCH BLOOOOOOD!"
I stopped because I had told my co-worker, and she kept mentioning how funny that was I trained myself out of it.
Instead I now quote Lady Macbeth.

If anyone needs a jolt of climate-related optimism, here's the Great Green Wall. In just 10 years these simple, small, moon-shaped troughs halted the spread of the Sahara Desert, cooled huge swaths of land, and are still growing lush ecosystems for local food www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbBd...

Of course, the men of Gondor were unable to protect Middle-Earth, and the threat of Sauron was only stopped when hobbits and men teamed up with those of other races and cultures, and worked together for the betterment of all.

Read a thread about how hard it is to actually be an astronaut and how our billionaires will never experience low orbit Elysium.
But like, couldn't NASA just lie? We could load them up on a rocket, with like champagne dispensers and wanky LED gamer set ups.
And then just fire them into space.

I wonder if ant logistics take into account scout parties that don't return.
Do they just keep sending scouts to certain areas unless they hear a report that is negative?
Should I let one go after feeding it something nasty?

I don't know why it's so contentious to believe people should be paid well for their specialised skills or paid well to sacrifice their time for a menial job.
People around me are definitely not ready to find out I think people who can't contribute to society should also get to live with dignity

I just watched a video where a dental tech gave themselves fangs with dental resin. And previously watched a nail tech make pointy claw nails.
Feen.
Unfortunately I'm not allowed fancy nails at work, and I'm in aligners so I can't make big changes to my teeth.
I can dream.

Wong was born October 25, 1910 in Taishan, Guangdong. At age 9 his father brought the boy to the US, leaving Wong's mother and sister behind. He would never see them again. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 made immigration a tricky process, and Wong was separated from his father at Angel Island.
