They are non-binary.
Yeah, that's entirely my bad, they made that abundantly clear in their million subscribers videos.
Hey, that's one of my favorites of ~~his~~ theirs! If you haven't yet, you should check out The Apex and The Fine Print.
If you enjoy games like Outer Wilds or Return of the Obra Dinn, where you basically can only play it through once to figure out the secrets, it feels like this is going to be something you'd love. The downside is the roguelite element can be really punishing and make you feel like you've wasted a day, especially if you've found the secrets in those rooms. The good news is that there's been at least a couple times where I found out items were puzzles days after I saw them, so it might not entirely be a waste.
Canada has 25% tariffs on all goods not covered by the USMCA, as does Mexico. China has 145% tariffs. Everyone else has 10%. This has a pretty handy visualization.
Thanks for fixing it!
I think this is a reference to commissions done for someone who requests exclusively blonde women shopping for wonder bread, or alternatively destroying forests with chainsaws or filling up SUVs with gas. They even have a Know Your Meme page.
There's definitely people who unwittingly spread misinformation, but the rule wasn't for people who just post once or twice, but people who have posted misinformation and been warned previously multiple times. That's not a mistake at that point, that's a pattern of behavior.
Since Legault took power in 2018, I've come to remember him for:
- Thinking the been on face coverings and religious symbols hasn't gone far enough
- Blaming nurses, not employers, for patients' issues rising from the nurses' strike
- Bill 96, which has let them require all businesses have French signage (replaced at their own cost), prohibition of already-existing English government resources, and limits the number of students in English speaking schools
- Limiting funding to English-speaking universities in Montreal
- Limiting immigration in an attempt to make sure that a limited amount of non-French speakers move in
- Forming a committee literally named "The Committee of Sages" in order to determine protections and rights for trans people, which also has no trans people, or any LGBTQ+ people
- Advocating for removal of an anti-Palestinian protest camped out on a university's grounds
And now for fucking with strike protections. When the one good thing I can think to say is "He didn't fuck up the COVID response," that's a pretty bad track record.
I'm not familiar with the backrooms. Is she going to die because she's getting the rock out and is unaware, or is she just stuck there for eternity?
Done for Griffonki, with his sona as his D&D character. If you're interested, my commissions are open.
Done for Onedeadlymouse. Commissions are open, if you're interested.
Done as a request for BalloonieLuna. If you're interested, my commissions are open.
This stupid idea popped into my head and I decided to put it down. If you're interested, my commissions are open.
Finished up the first piece for 2024, even though I definitely wanted to get this done last year. But done is done.
I started drawing in January of this year, and finally finished up my first piece in early February. Since then I've been trying to improve on it, and I decided to look back to see if there were any real metrics that could show I made decent progress.
The most obvious first step was to take a look at the upvotes I'd gotten:
Also, NSFW stats:
And, overall, it's a mixed bag. Lemmy definitely has a longer running time for keeping posts alive (it helps that there's fewer posts here), and Reddit has the issue that if your post isn't noticed inside 2 hours, it won't be picked up at all. There's no real sign of definite progress on Reddit, though Lemmy does seem to see at least some uptick in this metric, though that could be attributed to c/furry growing.
So, there's the next obvious metric, upvote percentage:
Reddit drops these metrics after 40 days, so I have no idea what it's like for the majority of my posts. Generally though, the response is more positive on Lemmy than Reddit, but it might be a bit too early to tell if the percentages are actually meaningful, or if the community doesn't downvote good content just because it's not their type, and upvotes are a more meaningful metric.
And, finally, FurAffinity:
There's not a lot of items there, either. If I post something good, I might get a fav. If I post something really good, I might get 2. Like Reddit, if it's not noticed inside a short window, it appears to get buried. The one exception appears to be this piece, which has gotten fav'd repeatedly over time. Watches, on the other hand, appear to be entirely random--or it could be my work's just not good enough to get people wanting me on their feed.
So, just some lessons from my time over the last year:
- Memes are faster and lower-effort to draw, but get a lot bigger response (yes, I know, groundbreaking statement of the year).
- Time and effort spent don't equate to response. I know, it's another obvious statement, but until you've spent weeks on something for nothing, it doesn't quite sink in.
- Either a) I've not become a better artist, or b) these metrics aren't the full picture, and I also suck at promoting myself. I'm hoping it's the latter.
Regardless, it's been a big journey, and I hope it's only the start. I came to Lemmy from Reddit after the API changes, and overall, c/furry's been an open, welcoming, and most importantly positive place. I love it here, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it continue to grow.
Some vent art.
Monster Train 2. The first scratched the itch I had when I had run out of steam with Slay the Spire, and the second has built on top of the first with some new card classes, giving you different abilities for your engine, and five new races with new mechanics for each. It's fantastic, and really feels like everything you'd want out of a sequel. And as a nice bonus, it's not too hard on the Deck's battery.
