an illustration of Honey's oc Zephyr. they're sitting at a wooden table and resting their head against one of their hands. they're looking at the viewer with a soft smile as their tail sways gently behind them there's a red wine bottle and two wine glasses on the table filled with the wine which they're sharing with someone, possibly the viewer if they would like~ the label on the bottle reads "Crimson Infernal Blend"

Don't mention NSFW and don't mention the word commission as well, to be safe.

Sharing to help many. Keep going guys and be careful.

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

ChatGPT feeds me reams of bullshit, but good news everyone, I'm not going to remember it anyway

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Here's how to get rid of Copilot completely from your computer (1/3) ABI Bouhmaida @forgoodcode 1/ Settings App > Personalization > Taskbar > Other System Tray Icons > Switch "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" Off This hides Copilot from your taskbar (9) ABI Bouhmaida @forgoodcode 2/ Press Win + R > Type in ‘regedit’ > Navigate to "HKEY _CURRENT_USER\ Software \ Policie s\Microsoft\ Windows" > Right-click on the "Windows" Key > New > Key > Name the new key "WindowsCopilot’ > Right-click on the new key EY > DWORD (32-bit) Value @forgoodcode 3/ > Name the value "TurnOffWindowsCopilot’ > Double-click the name of the value > Set the "Value Data" to 1 > Restart your computer Congrats!

Opened Twitter for the first time in a while just to dig up this tweet of theirs I adore
Tweet from Jesse Hamm (@Hamm_Tips) reading "Somewhere out there are people who need to hear a story you're uniquely able to tell. Art by others, even better art, won't do; only yours."

3D artist on Patreon suddenly banned by PayPal: “I have nothing to pay my bills for this month. I have nothing to pay my rent, and I have only around $100 for a living before I resolve this, alter my billing in Patreon and wait a 5 day cooldown. PayPal says I can access my money only in 6 months”
r/paypal Join u/Unlucky-Bluebird-310 • 7d PayPal banned me permanently after getting my $1K. Help I'm a 3D artist on patreon. My only salary is these $900-1200 | have a month. Paypal worked fine for like 4 payouts, but, friday evening, 2 days after my payout from Patreon, my account was frozen. It was like: "show us your IDs so we know you are really you". I wasn't home at a time so I decided to take care of it on Monday. Today is Monday, I got banned permanently: "Were unable to offer PayPal services for this account anymore". ' With all my $1293 on it... What's so bad about it is It's my only source of income. I have nothing to pay my bills for this month. I have nothing to pay my rent, and I have only around $100 for a living before I resolve this, alter my billing in Patreon and wait a 5 day cooldown. PayPal says I can access my money only in 6 months (180 days), which is so far away it sounds like never. If problem is with my ID verification - I never really had a chance to do it, l'm not taking all these documents with me all the time. It this ban is really permanent, how then is this not a scam or a robbery? How is it even legal? So frustrated, really not sure what should I do... Edit: I tried to call customer service, but calling to US phone number is not cheap. Call got cancelled shortly after I typed my one-time passcode. I also tried to contact some E-mails, but I don't farl confident about that. Until further edits of this post, this is the ultimate outcome of working with Paypal: account blocked, monthly income stolen. Until further edits of this post, this is the ultimate outcome of working with Paypal: account blocked, monthly income stolen. Edit#2: I exhausted all the Emails with my begs and cries for help to lift the ban. I don't think they'll even read it, because: I contacted an actual person on customer support chat. They refused to lift the ban and they refused to disclose the reason I was banned in a first place. They openly told me: "No, the reasons are confidential and proprietary". I filed a complaint on Better Business Bureau. Maybe will try to write a complaint somewhere else...Way too tired, way too frustrated and way too depressed to do anything else today : (

Got a lil' bit fed up with myself for how much of my output lately has been fanart, wanted to try making something that was ENTIRELY me for a change.

Hope everyone enjoys my new son as much as I do 🌱💙

Felt like adding to my Mario Bros. 1 redraw. Fixed Mario, added Luigi and Wario for fun. Peach, Toad and Bowser only work on black backgrounds like the original game. Allowed Koopa Troopa a sprite overaly to get an extra color like in SM3. NES accurate, but probably not optimized.

"can we please make the game on the assumption that whoever is playing has decided to so" has always got me blank stares at work unforch
dirtydeeds.bsky.social DirtyDeeds @dirtydeeds.bsky.social · 11d
it's certainly been frustrating to see devs say more and more "sorry guys but we need to make our games shout out every thing and handhold every last point so that someone who doesn't give a fuck about it can sleepwalk through it"
like why pander to people who, essentially, do not like your work?

I've been stitching together the 2400dpi scans I made from the 1987 #Nintendo wall calendar. It's slow going BUT I did get the art for Super #Mario 2 repaired & cleaned!

When I'm done the RAWs & repairs will be on my Internet Archive page: archive.org/details/@his... (Links to more stuff in my bio)
Rare retro art from a 1987 Nintendo famicom wall calendar. This features Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, and a bunch of Koopa and other characters all playing in a band under the ocean. The original text on it was for Super Mario Bros 2 but there is also some promo merch for the Mario Anime with this art. スーパーマリオブラザーズ ピーチ姫救出大作戦! Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!. Super Mario Bros.: Princess Peach Rescue Operation!. Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission To Rescue Princess Peach!
