Do you want to do your hobby on a laptop? Learn Blender, it's free. You can also pirate other software such as zbrush and go nuts have fun with that.

Do you want to have your hobby at home but not on a laptop? Well, gardening, sketching, learn to play an instrument, cooking.

Do you want your hobby to get you out of the house? I recommend tabletop gaming. Birdwatching. Photography

The technology is remarkable, the implementation is lame, the impact is happening too fast for us to adapt, the damage to artists and creatives is to cry for.

Someone posted a meme yesterday comparing it to The One Ring from LOTR and I think it's spot on.

The first thing that comes to mind is everything Studio Ghibli. They are mostly great films, and have no sequels or remakes yet and I hope it stays that way.

I'm sure there has to be live action examples but I can't think of any right now.

Well that was totally uncalled for

Not at all where I am

Depends on how many balls fit in the glass, and whether you can see through the balls- if not, as long as all the balls against the glass surface and on top are blue, with a few more blue visible within the gaps should be enough. But what percentage that is could change according to ball size in relation to glass size.

Yes the current status quo that favors me so much is actually good for everyone else, don't let anyone say otherwise okay

Your appreciation of sweeping under the rug for handsome people is true, however, not the only outcome therefore I disagree that beautiful always wins. I've seen beautiful lose just as much.

Hey, nice to see you posting here

Best ice cream name here imo. I love how they stick to it unashamedly. I'm a straight woman and I love a golden gaytime lol

Jackalope. Winged jackalope

Both, we know AI cannot create anything new, hence the churning of slop decelerates any potential progress or pivots. Why innovate or find new meanings if there is no pressure for you to come up with new stuff? AI does it for you from what's already there.

I don't love any movie I consider terrible, but I do enjoy some parts of movies I consider terrible.

I have a love hate relationship with Michael Bay Transformers. Love the character designs, the flashy action scenes, but I absolutely abhor the plot (yeah if you can call it a plot).

Scented candles? Relatively affordable, easy to re gift if they don't like it

I feel weird the pope is saying something that resonates with me... Stop

I need to start using this in my life somehow. I'll snatch the pic for myself for now

As a child, I wanted to be a zoologist.

Later during my teens I wanted to be an artist. And I did.

I pursued the arts for a very long time. Started as a silversmith while I was still in my teens, a career that lasted about 15 years give or take. Meanwhile I kept studying arts. I managed to get some illustrations published but it wasn't a lot. As my silversmith era was ending, I got into 3D design/VFX. I managed to work for a small studio for two years. Best job in my whole life, unfortunately it ended too roughly with a mix of industry collapse, burnout and personal relationship problems all entangled.

That was a couple years ago and in spite of my best efforts I couldn't get a job in 3D ever again. This in turn drove me into depression, of which I'm crawling out of, currently holding a job in retail ( I jumped from one retail place to another until I found a decent work environment) but unfortunately my creative side is not giving any signs of life. The current AI debacle adds insult to injury, discouraging sharing new work at all if I had anything substantial to produce.

It's shit. But it used to be great. I wonder if there's something of Phoenix in me or if I'm just a pile of ashes. Only time will tell but the years keep piling up and things don't improve.
