Every single tech platform feels like a hostage negotiation with a website, where we barter to access the things we want with mechanisms built to interrupt us. We don't "use" Instagram or Google anymore - we trick them into seeing the things we want.

TIL Clip Studio Paint doesn't have a 16-bit color option. 8-bit only, so dealing with gradient banding can be tricky. There's no dither option for that either and a blurred noise mask is not ideal. Dang!
Back to the drawing board.

Use of generative AI is only inevitable because people with money want you to believe that it's inevitable. It's a lie they need you to both believe and pre-appease because then they can get away with anything -- and make more money in the process. Please resist their mythologizing on this front.

Very pleased with Dune Part Two.
It's a rare kind of movie that gets my reclusive cheeks out the door and into a theater. I'm quite picky about that these days, so I'm glad this one was worthwhile.

super cool that all these companies have decided to make customers opt OUT of having their data sold for AI training purposes
"but no one would do it if it was opt-in!"
yeah, THAT IS THE PROBLEM

So Crunchyroll has acquired the Funimation library and is shutting down the app. Digital copies you purchased on Funimation? Gone. Wasted money.
People ask why I collect physical media. This is why. You can literally BUY A THING and a bunch of well-compensated assholes can be like “actually no”

Did anyone happen to get good pics of the wolf moon last night? My camera isn't great, but the clouds in my area were so dang lit. Looked stupendous in person.

✏️ Never get stuck while drawing:
1. Draw from imagination
2. Make a list of areas you struggled with details
3. Find specific references for each thing on the list
4. Use references to fix mistakes
5. When you get stuck again, rinse and repeat

Sometimes I want to know if I've been mispronouncing a word like "nausea" and the phonetic spelling doesn't help at all, and I can't hear that word ever again without feeling shame (even though it turns out I've been saying it the right way). Anyway now Christmas is ruined.

I don't know if anyone else gets anxious about phone calls but a little tip I've learned is: if there is a phone call that I don't want to make, before I start dialing the number, I carefully hold the phone in my hand & toss it gently into a lake. I hope this advice helps others.

Bring on the warm liquid goo phase.
I need tech companies to stop creating things from sci-fi that were cautionary tales and get to work inventing warm goo healing pod
