  • I am immediately put off by anyone talking constantly about a topic unless it’s justified by context.

    For example, if you are talking non stop about your favorite game at a gaming convention or at your DnD table, let it be. Or with your friends who are in the same fandom, no prob. If you can’t shut up about it outside of that and constantly bring the topic up unprompted, well. I wonder what else you can’t tell about context.

    I guess with religion it’s worse because by its own nature it implies you, the follower, know best and better than those who don’t. So not only you come across as a fool who can’t read the room, you also come across as arrogant.








  • I do use Youtube. Through newpipe though. I’ll extend your premise , and presume there is no large tech company holding any site or service online. That also includes any generative AI.

    How would I use internet?

    Well, the same I did in the early 90s I guess. I can’t fathom it would be long before some kind of search engine popped up though. I guess I’ll be searching art online and sharing mine on platforms similar to Deviantart or the likes, if DA doesn’t exist I one hundred percent believe there would be online forums dedicated to sharing art and connecting through messages. I would probably also be text roleplaying in forums as well. Those things still exist on a small scale today.

    I guess I would also connect to check news to a couple official news sites if there is no such thing as rss. Same for weather forecast.

    I wonder what the situation would be about maps. Without Google, would we still have something large and accessible such as OSMand? I believe not only we would, they would be better, and they would probably be easier to use downloaded locally so that’s probably another thing I’d do.

    Do we still have torrenting? I can see myself torrenting even more if I don’t have any streaming platforms.

    Answer: I just think it’s not worth it. The motivation to make comics should arise from your need to express yourself visually, not to compensate for poor translation. Learning to draw maybe comes easy to you, but then you’ll have to actually do it and keep it consistent and meet your own standards, which is the extra hard part you are not taking into consideration.

    Climbing the mountain can be a challenge, but it pales in comparison with setting up camp and living at high altitude indefinitely. If you don’t have a call for that kind of lifestyle I would suggest you reconsider.

    Give it a go, though. Nothing wrong with a bit of tourism and sightseeing. You may even get to enjoy it, and you will understand for yourself if it’s meant to be for you or not.
