I've seen this ad so many times in the last two days, but I don't even know if there is anything that can be done about it.

And hopefully this upcoming year will be good tor me on Twitch, and I can find the balance I've wanted for a long time managing my chronic cancer, to stream more.

But my only goal will be to enjoy the time I have with all the people I've met over the years and the new friends I will meet in 2026. 💜

And now I'm just waiting for this computer to finish this update, then everything will be back (finally) and up to date.

I really like the update, it feels more clean, it feels more zen, even though it's not an arrangement I had planned, this works and I can see it helping with the arrangement I want.

If the second laptop is a 2-in-1, which I kinda doubt, as I’m not that lucky, hopefully my husbean can find a use for this one (or the one coming today).

I know he was hoping for a laptop to run a VNyan server. I just don’t think we will be that lucky.

Truth be told, I don’t think the refurb place realized at first I had done a quantity of 2, as they showed the order as fulfilled.

I just hope me pointing it out and their brief, perhaps short, response doesn’t factor into what I’m getting.

This has been fun, a lottery of sorts and I am winning

And I’ll admit, I was okay with it at one point, but over the last two years or so, I have come to see the double standard that this is.

And I know how easy genAI is for music, but really if it’s not okay for drawing, why is it okay for music?

Answer: it’s not.

I should say that it won’t be easy, but share the tools, the techniques and ways to start for free, but drawing isn’t easy and like artists that draw, there are artists that make commissioned art.

So why is it more acceptable to use something like suno, instead of commissioning someone?

Heck, I don’t know enough about the space, though I want to learn, to even find beginner friendly options.

And I don’t even know enough to google-fu for info at YouTube university.

Thus, this is a call to action. Those of you in the know, teach the rest of us the basics, we want to learn.

So far my assessment seems to be a good one on getting this done, each frame is taking less than half a second to do. In the five minutes I've had it running, I'm already 100 frames past what it took the render farm to do in about 2.5 hours...
