I wonder why the X is silent in Don Quixote, but not in quixotic, which is derived from his name

I heard a story via a podcast where someone was discussing their "relationship" with an AI boyfriend.
I'm not going to judge *too* harshly - people probably have their reasons; loneliness, abuse survivors, busy work schedules, etc., but it just feels so separated, so disconnected from humanity.

here I am, trying BlueSky once again for my social needs. I've been rather desperate for some semblance of socialisation that I've been checking Facebook and LinkedIn, the latter I especially do not recommend unless you enjoy reading AI posts from accounts pretending to be people

Uninstalled Threads from my phone. It's always so depressing opening it, it's so draining.
I've been receiving nothing but complaints about AI usage, and whilst I agree that generative AI is awful, it's literally all I see on there.
I'm tired, boss. I don't want to read about it anymore.

Here's the piece I finished the other day; it has been Glazed, AI disturbance applied and watermarked.
I refer to it in my head as Beautiful outside, Dead inside, but really my doodles don't get names. I think it's Untitled79 according to IbisPaint, maybe that's it? #art

I know this will never happen, but now X is hemorrhaging users and losing value rapidly, and BlueSky is doing the opposite and presumably doing better, I would find it absolutely hilarious if BlueSky bought the rights to use Twitter name/logo from X and literally just cost Elon billions for nothing

I was really pleased with this response I gave on the Skyrim subreddit (I'm odd_gamer, it's an old handle I used before I was Doododds)

I don't think I've actually shared these images before, or at least for a long time! Did you know I dabble with 3D modelling software?
I like creating, I don't think I'll ever stop being odd, and that's honestly how I like it!

I cannot tell you how many weird looks I've received over the years for my love of this!
Coworker: "what ARE you listening to?"
Me: "ever play Gotcha Force on the GameCube?"
Coworker: "....no?"
Me: "Oh. Well, it's from that."

You don’t owe anyone an explanation for enjoying video game music. In fact: you deserve praise. You have excellent and varied taste 😂

I've been having a break from the modern gaming world and getting into Heroes of Might and Magic 4 on Winlator, playing an old PC game (that I own through GOG) on my Android tablet.
No ads, no microtransactions, just pure, uninterrupted gaming. It’s a refreshing change!

I've been on hiatus for way too long, I miss doing art but the creative juices just aren't flowing, not yet at least. So I'm doing a little practice, just some light doodles and getting the basics down 🤘 #ArtStruggles

It's easy to get overwhelmed in the coming months, with Black Friday sales, a constant push for extra work to be done regardless of whether you are an independent artist or have a day job, and family stress with Christmas events
Remember it's important to take time for yourself too

I've now deleted every post from Twitter/X and deleted my account. The site is no longer recognisable as what it once was, and the mass disregard for artists is just too much to ignore

So I've realised that making Stained-Glass style digital art is fun, but what I need to look at is making a small library of vector art assets that I can use and reuse as I see fit. Things like waves effects, simple leaf shapes, stars...
More work, but I know I can get interesting results!
