@weebdeluxe The first few will surely happen since the titles really sell the consoles. Also like how old is Mario Kart 8 at this point

I likely won't get a switch2 tbh since I did not use the first one all that much and just game less in general or more on PC

@volpi And the site just says "yes" all the time

@Erpel Ente blasting cash on fedi from his newfound riches from selling out!

after a recent update firefox has stopped using my system notif daemon for webpush. this especially sucks because sway tries to treat the popups as regular windows and puts them in the layout hierarchy, disrupting our layout

we double checked about:config and it’s still set to use system, but for some reason it’s not working. has this happened for anyone else? and has anybody found a fix? we could probably set up some sway window rules to float the popups but we would rather firefox just play nice with the notif daemon in the first place

@volpeon Watched the video. Finally answers to all my questions... (lost his sanity along the way)

@joeycastillo

@rick this is THE paper for you

@quad It would still be a better idea to do the responsible thing (says the man who will use his tax return for vacation)

@volpeon I looked at the Thumbnail in NewPipe

@volpeon Oh yeah more quality content! Let me guess Steve rants for 10 Minutes. lul.

@yassie_j tbh 3-lane roundabouts are hell for people as well. I would be kinda fun to see them navigate one. (On closed course with professional drivers!)

"AI" is here to monetize the human insecurity.

Most of the time i see people using "AI" generated pictures, text, code, whatever.. they mention they are "not good enough" to make their own.

You don't have to be "good."

These tools are feeding on your insecurity. They're there to monetize your insecurity.

Many people are insecure. That is normal. You should not rely on magic machinations to wave your insecurity away. That way relies addiction to these tools, which will make your life more difficult when you dont use them.

So instead, make your own lil stick figure drawings. Make pixel art in 16x16 grid for icons. Write that text the best way you can. Iterate on things, ask for help.

The hurry to get things done is artificial. You can do it without the addiction to chatbots. Allow yourself to take time, instead of producing just for productions sake.

Trust yourself to find the answers and to make a thing.

You're way better than what the scum behind generative "AI" hype think about you.

Don't sell your insecurity and brush it off. Face the facts and work on it.

In art, authenticity, being yourself, creating things from your brain, using your own intelligence, is the main point. Not the quality of the finished piece. But your piece.

You're allowed to fail. To err is human. And that is what makes it art. The happy little mistakes.

@aks This is a lovely post. I guess some storytime from me is fine, right?

I totally get the struggle with the "hurry" though especially when you have some deadline in mind ypu wanted to hit. Like say some convention. I struggled there a bit as well.

Some context: I do like me some sewing recently since I decided to do some cosplay to a con. I dreamed of doing that for a bit I guess since it is a great way to show off as a (even female character)

Cosplay in question I finished a mock-up of last week for jacket and pants btw: https://akko.lightnovel-dungeon.de/notice/AsYestvDJPafsHC62y

I set my sights on after a con last year and began thinking about it in like november. I had a hat for that generally but wanted to make new one (the one shown in the post above). I decided on a lovely pink fabric (although kinda expensive) and then set off to buy and learn some stuff.

I generally knew the basics of sewing from a elective subject I choose in school. Made that hat once already so I was set there.

I learned to make that hat via a Youtube Tutorial which explained how to lay down the pattern but I had to do my own measurements and stuff. Laying down the whole pattern myself is above my skill level for sure though. The second hat turned out well even though there is some imperfections in it I love it dearly. And its also a 1 of 1 bespoke hat since every one you will make will be slightly different. And Certainly better looking than any store bought cos. My ears perk up so nice on that hat.

For the jacket and pants I opted to buy ready made patterns to learn from. I bought 4 in total. I learned from my hat its a good idea to make mock-up pieces from stuff to check fitment. I tried two (american) pattern and released with the pants they are nice but way to wide for my use on the legs.

The pattern from an european maker was way better in that regard. Learned a few things along the way as well. Had a very similar problem with the jacket

Its very important to take your time and read instructions carefully. Maybe try out some stuff before doing the real thing. Doing my Mock-up I realized that sewing in a zipper into pants is more difficult than I thought. So I had some mistake there. After trying again I got the hang of it I think.

I had some stress thinking I would not make it to June where the con is. Since I had "wasted" time with patterns that turned out being not right for me.

A friend told it is not that dim how I make it out. If rely needed I can make it for next year.

I am though pretty positive I can make it lol. Since everything is in order for the real deal.

In terms of drawing I don't see myself ever being that good. I would need to practice a lot.

I sometimes need some tokens for my TRPG-Sessions still. So I took a token a player drew, traced the head pattern and added stuff to it like horns, helmet or whatever. With solid colors and no shading but you could.

Also this reminds me of a VTuber who said she would be totally fine with *any* fanart. Be it even a stickman with blue hair lol. Since my drawing skills and I have seen the person behind the Vtuber in person I thought I would rather something physical and sewn instead.

Here is a small post about the mock piece: https://akko.lightnovel-dungeon.de/notice/ArabFkPtubI2JdXCLo

For this I basically traced a an image of the Vutuber and just thought How I may put it together. It took 3 tries to get it proper with a face stitched on. But she was very happy about the present. ^^

also attached my drawingskills xD Also I kinda got carried away writing this xD
