Hello!
I’m a nonbinary Canadian Blender artist! You can find my work here: Galleries, commissions, prints, and more!

Microsoft is constantly experimenting with how far they can push users into a corner and get away with it. There might be a day when Microsoft caves and releases a Windows that is more like what we wanted, but I imagine it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. We have not yet seen the worst MS has to offer force upon us.
It also has rapidly-ballooning expenses with basically no income model other than a donation link.
I want a decent new art platform as much as everyone else but I’m not moving my entire portfolio over to a new service that, honestly, looks like it’ll be dead in 6-12 months.
Local loose-leaf. Although I do enjoy Ahmad Tea loose leaf. It’s very high quality for the price.
None. It is never acceptable imho.
We do not choose where we are born or the social class we are born into. Forcing someone to sacrifice their life in the name of an entity they did not choose, likely have no/limited loyalty for, or might even be actively oppressed by - is wrong.
Good. Fuck that fascist and his companies. The only sad part of this story is that they used paint and not something that would etch or scratch the stainless.
Even with her guard up, Shadowheart’s character is still more varied. Her reactions are more mixed and you can really see her bluntness and pragmatism come through. Her responses vary from indifference, apathy, rudeness, hostility, and moments of care and tenderness. Astarion in Act 1 is just an asshole all the time. I also feel that some of his reactions clash with his character and don’t make sense. Don’t get me wrong; I think he’s a good character but I can also see why so many want nothing to do with him.
Astarion is particularly annoying in Act 1 for some reason, with 99% of his reactions just being him hating anything that is remotely positive. His reactions (and character in general) in the following acts is a lot more fleshed out and varied.
I’ve finished nearly all at least once.
But I’ve played Skyrim for thousands of hours and only ever completed the main questline once.
This is going to flop.
A big appeal of assistant devices was the barrier to entry was extremely low. So low that they could be purchased in multiples and given as gifts and were easy for the recipients to set up and use. So low that Alexa integration was common on many types of devices at many pricepoints.
Setting one up and being asked to pay a monthly sub might not go so well. People are getting burnt out of constant subscriptions bleeding them dry. I really don’t know how many would be willing to pay for something that was once free and was basically taken away from them.
this is also not including the growing amount of people that are goddamn sick and tired of hearing about AI constantly being shoved into everything
Time for another anti-trust lawsuit.
Nobody can force you to stay here if you don’t enjoy being here anymore.
That being said, your post history isn’t that bad at all. We all say things that garner heaps of downvotes sometimes, and that is especially going to be the case in more heated communities like those related to politics. Honestly, I don’t even think up/down votes should even be a thing here and copying them from Reddit was just importing toxicity, but that’s just my two cents.
Valve is still a private company. If they ever made an IPO then they would be screwed.
Because they will. They literally will.
Adobe is one of the most awful, insidious, evil corporations in the software space and they have done absolutely nothing to claw back even a tiny shred of good faith.
You’re not wrong! But at least for now I got a decent PS alternative for $45. We’ll see how things go.
Good time to drop a reminder that Affinity’s tools are 50% off right now and are buy-once software.
It’s funny that you brought up application compatibility when numerous creative tools I use don’t support Linux. I also did not buy my Macbook at full price.
I wouldn’t mind having a Linux laptop to tinker with some day, but it would not be a primary or secondary device for me.
Late-stage capitalist oligarchic shithole.
