Next time I hear "Well chаtgpt says--" I'm gonna just explode

I ended up looking up the info myself while following the official steps, occasionally telling him that no I don't see the button that chаtgpt told you about, no the option chаtgpt suggested isn't there. And all that from someone who worked in IT for decades before retirement, like you KNEW this!!

It's so hard to shake off that feeling! 😭 What helps me reframe it is knowing that alt text is searchable, so I try to focus on keywords that someone might type in the search bar to find the image. Just stuff like "Art of [subject] with [special detail]" and go from there. Maybe that helps!

That is so cute what the HECK ...

Bose Quietcomfort! I love the quality of those, I got my first pair back in like 2018. Though I got unlucky with my next green pair that had a weird feedback sound when Noise Cancelling was on, so I had to return it 🥲 But as long as you keep the warranty, surely it'll be fine... plus it's pretty!

The stroke tool is such a missed function, I hope they add it 😭 At least there's the workaround of duplicating the art, filling it with the stroke color, adding a blur and duplicating it like 10x to fake a solid outline... but just typing that out makes me miss the stroke function fhsjkfds

It's so stressful! Even scrolling through posts on my feed, I feel like I -have- to click all the buttons just to avoid punishing the people I follow 😭 There can't be a single person out there who enjoys this

Truly a labor of love 😭 The result turned out so soft though, i've never been such a fan of pine trees as I am looking at this art

Oh no, and with the timing of the hardware prices too 😭 I hope you can find a new build that works for you soon! My last laptop sounded like a lawn mower once the fan broke, so I'm always worried about wearing out the fans whenever I boot the game... poor things gotta work hard to render our elves

There's something spiritually satisfying about every single brushstroke being a deliberate choice, lovingly placed on a canvas at 1000x zoom, and even if the viewer doesn't know it they can FEEL it

Definitely a case of 'built different,' it turned out gorgeous!!

Ngl it jumps into full sentences pretty quickly so might not be the best for a beginner, and I'm not sure if it's age-appropriate for an 11 year old (just not aimed at kids). But could be worth checking out and judging for yourself

Wanikani is low-entry for Japanese flashcard-style practice, after finishing the free levels it could be worth considering the lifetime sub when it's on 50% off! There's also Busuu, they have this community section where you can actively write in your language, get corrections and help others

The colors turned out so well, I love the warm hues 🥺 Very Myka-colored

This might be my favourite of yours so far. Peak creature

I love this little work of art within a work of art... absolute perfection

Elf! Elf! Elf!

(this is inspired by the fact that he used to collect seaweed as a kid to help his dad get by. Not just for cooking, but for soap making and other alchemical purposes-- he'd get paid pennies for bagfuls of it, which was then sold to the Alchemists' Guild in Ul'dah for a large mark-up)

Bro Mollymauk had me in EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, I'm so glad how well loved he is..... I can't wait for the next tiefling/warlock-adjacent character to drop so we can all fawn over them too
