When it comes to Japan's APA Hotels, you can’t separate the man from his creation. The founder’s extreme political views and aggressive business tactics have significantly shaped the hotel’s image, adding a complex new layer to its identity and branding.
More Than a Budget Stay: The Controversy Behind Japan's APA Hotels - Unseen Japan

Final fantasy 9 is the one game I could never quite move on from. I've played it so many times since I was a child and it still holds up for me.

Listen bro, you can create a little and you did something. You can create nothing, take care of your mental, rest, and you did something. Imagine, envision. It builds toward the ultimate goal of finishing something. Sometimes, this shit is slow and agonizing. Just do what you can when you can.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Hey artists! I’m looking for some advice on handling sales and products. Do you make your own stuff or order from suppliers?
I’m thinking about things like stickers, buttons, prints, plushies, etc. If you DIY, what equipment do you use? If you order, what services do you recommend?
