The evidence is pointing to the manufacturer since it was vacuum sealed the same way as the ones in their video.

And the worst thing is the fact that i built the whole pc around that GPU because it's my dream GPU and i was so excited to finally build her in

My itch gets so bad when i travel, that i can't wait to get home to create 😂

Chris Shehan_Comic Art @chrisshehanart.bsky.social · Sep 3

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it.

It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

Remembering that they once wanted very abstract texts about love and i wrote a very abstract one about my marriage and my imaginary husbands... and they didn't take it!

I might've been too experimental lol

Just sent in a text to an open call 🤞

Third time sending something to that magazine, maybe now it's my time!

JASAD HEIR/THE LAST VIGILANT
If anyone finds out she’s a changeling they'll 💀 her. Finding a powerful relic could free her people from oppression & she’ll do everything to keep it. But failure to unearth its secrets will mean her death & the loss of all magic forever. #PosterPit #F #Q #A

Movie poster with a dramatic stormy sky, in black, purple and cornflower blue tones. A photo of James Cosmo in Shogun, holding a pistol, and a photo of Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie in Thor Ragnorok, are overlaid, side by side but back to back.
the logline "There's a reason magic was silenced."
Underneath there are three short sentences of text:
"His last smuggling job."
"Her last chance for freedom."
"Magic must survive."
The title appears in the centre: "The Breath of Silence - an adult epic fantasy."
On either side of the title, like billed names are the following tropes:
- magical prejudice
- revolution and revenge
- romantic subplots
- action and atmosphere
At the bottom there are three sets of laurel brackets with "Shortlisted Future Worlds Prize 2023", "Shortlisted RevPit 2025" and "Longlisted Write Mentor 2025".

"WOW! Great storytelling!!!"

Keeping her identity a secret will be hard
Living in close quarters w/a pack of gorgeous boys? That'll be harder still
But the hardest thing of all?
Keeping her vow never to let Tristan find out she's a girl—a girl who loves him

JASAD HEIR/ONE DARK WINDOW
There's a reason magic was silenced. Who will bring it back? The sorceress who will tear down empires, the smuggler with split loyalties who doesn't believe it exists, or the warrior who would die to keep it secret? #PosterPit #Q #F #A

A movie poster for 'The Breath of Silence'. The title is printed over the top of a watery sun which puts a mountain, a floating sky city and a dragon in silhouette. Below there is a dark green forest. The sky is a sunset but stormy and red.
At the top there are three sets of laurel brackets with "Shortlisted Future Worlds Prize 2023", "Shortlisted RevPit 2025" and "Longlisted Write Mentor 2025".
Next there are two billing lines saying 'A secretive warrior' and 'a damaged smuggler'.
The tropes are listed like supporting cast:
Found family
Repressed magic
Tigers & dragons
Slow burn
Sorcerors & shapeshifters
Enemies to friends
Next, beneath the main imagery, at the bottom, it says "An Epic Fantasy".
In the review section with 5 gold stars it says "worldbuilding is rich... wanted more" - Judges Feedback.
The final line says "Coming to an inbox soon."
