I think polarizing art (some people loving it and others really disliking it) is great. To me it means it has a strong flavour.
I'm interested in writing that gives me something to chew on. Make me think about why I loved or hated it.
Brought to you by a reel I saw on "The Bride" being polarizing.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

Traditional looking digital art of Gen 1 Ghost Pokémon (Gastly, Haunter, Gengar). They have a grainy paper tone ‘feel’ with shiny spots to simulate a subtle shiny candy look. Using a mix of pencil, texture, and marker brushes provided by artist, Olga Ortiz aka olguioo on gumroad.

Gummy Ghosts!

Someone had recently described my art like gummy candy and I couldn’t resist ✨🍬✨

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

AHHHHHH MAHALO, so so so appreciate your kind words!

MAHALO so happy you enjoyed!!! Jolene Kim truly KILLED IT with the narration, highly highly highly recommend the audiobook!

ooooh The Sprawl is a good call. one day I'll have time to tinker with it 😩

I hope you enjoy Obake!!!
