i'm fucking exhausted and tired that we've had decades to figure out proper methods of real time voice and video streaming to make long distance relationships work over the internet and everything is still more broken and stifling and frustrating than it was 10 years ago

im so tired

im tired

i just, absolutely have no time for enabling a caste system where a select few can do fun things that the rest of the server can't.

desperately hoping that someone comes along with something marginally better than discord in all regards so i can fuck off of it and bring all my friends with me

and this is why my server has external custom emoji disabled, and it upset some people in there that i did that, and that makes me glad

i have the disposable income to indulge in discord nitro if i wanted but i absolutely would not financially support such a badly run company like discord in the face of everything terrible with it including cross-platform support on linux

gonna make a take that's might upset some of my more bougie-oriented friends but honestly i cannot conceive why someone would pay a subscription for half-baked software such as discord

so you can show your superiority with custom emoji in other servers? that really pisses me off

also, if you're going to buy an used thinkpad, this is a VERY good guide: https://www.bobble.tech/free-stuff/used-thinkpad-buyers-guide

all my art since 2017 has been done on a 2007 thinkpad X61t. while the hardware is aging with a core 2 duo, it still runs modern linux and even web browsing without issues, and it cost me 50 USD, cheaper than any new tablet i've seen lately

LRT my advice for artists on a budget: tablet PCs from the early-to-mid 2000s are much cheaper than any cintiq-like screen tablet. pick up a thinkpad X220t and put krita in it, you can find them for about 300 US dollars

it absolutely wouldn't be half the movie it is without raul julia, of course

street fighter the movie holds up

if you're "not cis" you're trans. welcome!

i promise it'll be hilarious and everybody will love it

terfs: consider stopping, as a bit
