As we spiral into fascism that wants people like me and mine to suffer, the 1st hand anxiety gets ever worse, but the 2nd
hand anxiety for those I love is what really hits eats every day. I'm working harder than ever to use my privilege to help those who I can, but the emotional exhaustion . . .

I've been informed that the idiom is actually "not all heroes wear capes"

So there I am, looking at my 90k poly avatar edit, pondering whether 70k is truly the limit I should be aiming for.

"Shoud it not be different?" - I ask myself.
"Yes... It should be 60k".

And I start dissolving edges, like a real masochist.

(other than like pieces, whose sole function is money laundering) making people question meaningfulness VS meaninglessness is half the fun

I wish I could switch, unfortunately it's a situation-specific necessity

Definitely planning on switching from Substance Painter -> Blender + ucupaint though, if that's any consolation!

"design professional" really just means you have met the threshold for rageposting about Adobe

trying to create a new photoshop file, something I've done probably 200+ times in the past year, and photoshop freezes and crashes every time without fail today

industry standard product btw

I've been on Do Not Disturb a five year streak with no signs of stopping thanks

This is one of the first Gaussian Splats taken from inside VRChat! (...at least as far as I know)
