low-quality image of a crt tv in a dark room with a screen test image glowing barely illuminating a vhs tape. The label is just barely seen but nothing can be gleaned from this

I had to use their chat service but I got it!

"We'll miss you"
ughh....

Mars @manaweaver.bsky.social · Sep 18

Yep, same! I can def. say that it's not the comcast / google thing.
I chatted with an agent (had to get past their AI bot) and they were able to cancel.
It might just be technical issues due to traffic, but I'm a lil jaded.

Huh... weird! I can't seem to cancel my Hulu / Disney+ subscription all of a sudden. Weiiird.

I can't think of a caption for this picture of my cat I took, but it's a mood I feel a lot.

Cat looking angry in panel one. Cat vomiting in panel 2.

When I need promotional inspirations, I just go on a lil cursed flight.

Mars @manaweaver.bsky.social · Jun 19

Sure thing!

All the screens on my flight said "Please Wait" and the lights were dim. It felt very liminal.

Hey y’all. I’m still looking for a day job, so if you know anything remote or within LA let me know.

I’ve been a tech writer, content creator, social media manager, project manager, operations manager, and a consultant on 5G and Satellite grant proposals, DEI, and marketing.

"Singing your song isn't the hard part. It's getting the fans. That's why they're on the stage and I'm at the bar."

-Bartender to Me last night and it felt relevant.

My dysphoria-having ass trying to make the best of June.

Shen Comix @shenanigansen.bsky.social · Jun 6

Panel 1: Shen, cloaked in shadow due to the contrast from the light outside, is kicking a door in so violently that it flies off the hinges. Only his eyes are visible in the shadow.

Panel 2: A person as sitting at a laptop, holding a gaming controller connected to it. They have messy hair and dark shadows under their eyes, and are wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants. Around them are scattered energy drink containers, ramen rontainers, chip bags, and and napkins. There's also a floor mattress. This person is clearly a shut-in.

Panel 3: Shen, still mostly cloaked in shadow, points forward at them with a severe expression on his face, saying "you thought you could escape pride month?"

Panel 4: Confetti falls as the shut-in (still in sweatshirt/sweatpants), is paraded through the streets on a stage atop a colorful car, as crowds cheer on both sides. Above them are two drones hovering in the air carrying a banner. The banner has the pride flat on it and arrows pointing down at them.

Fair enough! I did it and frustratingly got the confirmation that it's AI and that they cannot refund. Guhhh

Mars @manaweaver.bsky.social · Jun 5

QUESTION for those who buy assets:

If you buy an asset and post-download, you strongly suspect it was generated by AI (undisclosed, but I'm pretty sure), how do you proceed?
- Contact the artist for a refund?
- Leave a negative review?
- Report them?
- All of the above? Something else?

Thank you! Ugh, good on you for taking a break!

ManaWeaver Update:

I've spent a lot of time getting ready for a demo to release next month. The game is so fun to work on and I'm forcing myself to take breaks and vacation. It's so important to do that.

Much love and more updates to come.

Come check it out!

After all...Why not? Why shouldn't I ... just change my entire tree solution at 11:50PM the night before PAX? (why am I like this?)
