God, I don't know. I've always believed artists have to go where the audience is, but I never felt like a trained sealed as much as I have this last year. I guess we're just going to leap into the artist-shaped hole Threads opened up, make ironic jokes as we do so, and then just keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller.

Thank God there are still people who buy books.

I will show the old concept that was abandoned. Why?

Everything is very simple, it is difficult. Making simple fire is one thing, but making controllable dynamic fire, to which the enemies had to react, is difficult when all your animations are frame-by-frame pictures

To the people complaining that there aren't enough artists here: are you following any art hashtags? Actually, same question to people who say mastodon doesn't have enough of whatever! Just follow some hashtags! Trust me if you do soon enough your feed will be absolutely drowning in your interest unless it's super niche

And then you can follow people who pop up on there, and maybe even eventually unfollow the hashtag

Following hashtags has been the best feature on mastodon. I love it

    I consult with a lot of insurance companies. What I've learned is that it is simply impossible to reconcile profit motivations versus the need to care for people. They are incompatible.
    If you want one, you have to remove the other.

    I think it is interesting and says something about tech in general that even Elon understood he had to hire rocket scientists and car manufacturing engineers and neuroscientists for those projects but he doesn't appear to have hired a single expert in communication or social dynamics when taking over Twitter, the same appears to be true for every other newly founded social network where I have taken a look at the leadership.

    @Vrimj

    My experience consulting for executives taught me that they got to where they were by dehumanizing or otherwise reducing people (labor and/or customers) into cogs that power their wealth.
    They are often incapable of turning off these simplified personas that they created for the "others," so it would never occur to them that they would need to consult with expert advice in this field.

    Doing an post! 👋

    I'm John Cutting (he/him), a writer, artist, veteran, and long-time lover of fantasy, science fiction, and RPGs.

    ✍️ I wrote two complete (and one in-progress) sprite comics all set in the same universe that are story-driven, epic fantasies rather than comedy-driven stories. If you enjoy the SNES RPGs from the Golden Age of Square Enix, then I think you will like my stories.
