Samee I have a newfound motivation to catch up with MSQ now, because I want to see how cringe he is.... or how cringe we can make him 😈

I realised context may be needed

Thank you sm for sharing that, I'm gonna store that in my memory for future reference LMAO

It was such an important part of media literacy too, learning to check if sources are trusted and understanding the author's intent! And even with Internet, learning from books will always be special to me since you learn so much more when you're looking for just one piece of information c:

Next time I hear "Well chаtgpt says--" I'm gonna just explode

I ended up looking up the info myself while following the official steps, occasionally telling him that no I don't see the button that chаtgpt told you about, no the option chаtgpt suggested isn't there. And all that from someone who worked in IT for decades before retirement, like you KNEW this!!

It's so hard to shake off that feeling! 😭 What helps me reframe it is knowing that alt text is searchable, so I try to focus on keywords that someone might type in the search bar to find the image. Just stuff like "Art of [subject] with [special detail]" and go from there. Maybe that helps!

That is so cute what the HECK ...

Bose Quietcomfort! I love the quality of those, I got my first pair back in like 2018. Though I got unlucky with my next green pair that had a weird feedback sound when Noise Cancelling was on, so I had to return it 🥲 But as long as you keep the warranty, surely it'll be fine... plus it's pretty!

The stroke tool is such a missed function, I hope they add it 😭 At least there's the workaround of duplicating the art, filling it with the stroke color, adding a blur and duplicating it like 10x to fake a solid outline... but just typing that out makes me miss the stroke function fhsjkfds

It's so stressful! Even scrolling through posts on my feed, I feel like I -have- to click all the buttons just to avoid punishing the people I follow 😭 There can't be a single person out there who enjoys this

Truly a labor of love 😭 The result turned out so soft though, i've never been such a fan of pine trees as I am looking at this art

Oh no, and with the timing of the hardware prices too 😭 I hope you can find a new build that works for you soon! My last laptop sounded like a lawn mower once the fan broke, so I'm always worried about wearing out the fans whenever I boot the game... poor things gotta work hard to render our elves

There's something spiritually satisfying about every single brushstroke being a deliberate choice, lovingly placed on a canvas at 1000x zoom, and even if the viewer doesn't know it they can FEEL it

Definitely a case of 'built different,' it turned out gorgeous!!

Ngl it jumps into full sentences pretty quickly so might not be the best for a beginner, and I'm not sure if it's age-appropriate for an 11 year old (just not aimed at kids). But could be worth checking out and judging for yourself

Wanikani is low-entry for Japanese flashcard-style practice, after finishing the free levels it could be worth considering the lifetime sub when it's on 50% off! There's also Busuu, they have this community section where you can actively write in your language, get corrections and help others

The colors turned out so well, I love the warm hues 🥺 Very Myka-colored
