Do you want to do your hobby on a laptop? Learn Blender, it’s free. You can also pirate other software such as zbrush and go nuts have fun with that.

Do you want to have your hobby at home but not on a laptop? Well, gardening, sketching, learn to play an instrument, cooking.

Do you want your hobby to get you out of the house? I recommend tabletop gaming. Birdwatching. Photography

Nice one, yes

The technology is remarkable, the implementation is lame, the impact is happening too fast for us to adapt, the damage to artists and creatives is to cry for.

Someone posted a meme yesterday comparing it to The One Ring from LOTR and I think it’s spot on.

The first thing that comes to mind is everything Studio Ghibli. They are mostly great films, and have no sequels or remakes yet and I hope it stays that way.

I’m sure there has to be live action examples but I can’t think of any right now.

Not at all where I am

Depends on how many balls fit in the glass, and whether you can see through the balls- if not, as long as all the balls against the glass surface and on top are blue, with a few more blue visible within the gaps should be enough. But what percentage that is could change according to ball size in relation to glass size.

I don’t love any movie I consider terrible, but I do enjoy some parts of movies I consider terrible.

I have a love hate relationship with Michael Bay Transformers. Love the character designs, the flashy action scenes, but I absolutely abhor the plot (yeah if you can call it a plot).

I need to start using this in my life somehow. I’ll snatch the pic for myself for now

As a child, I wanted to be a zoologist.

Later during my teens I wanted to be an artist. And I did.

I pursued the arts for a very long time. Started as a silversmith while I was still in my teens, a career that lasted about 15 years give or take. Meanwhile I kept studying arts. I managed to get some illustrations published but it wasn’t a lot. As my silversmith era was ending, I got into 3D design/VFX. I managed to work for a small studio for two years. Best job in my whole life, unfortunately it ended too roughly with a mix of industry collapse, burnout and personal relationship problems all entangled.

That was a couple years ago and in spite of my best efforts I couldn’t get a job in 3D ever again. This in turn drove me into depression, of which I’m crawling out of, currently holding a job in retail ( I jumped from one retail place to another until I found a decent work environment) but unfortunately my creative side is not giving any signs of life. The current AI debacle adds insult to injury, discouraging sharing new work at all if I had anything substantial to produce.

It’s shit. But it used to be great. I wonder if there’s something of Phoenix in me or if I’m just a pile of ashes. Only time will tell but the years keep piling up and things don’t improve.

That’s too true, thanks for the reminder

I’m still on Baldurs Gate 3 and loving it

Good for hygiene, but, are you expecting someone to force you down the toilet anytime soon?

Shame you’ve already blasted music and you are pretty certain he’s feeling it. I would have slipped a note under his door asking him to at least get a mat or something to cushion the weights falling

I’m here to say Jasmine /Jazmín in English and Spanish, because I haven’t seen it mentioned yet

Yassss!

This could be a showerthought, instead the showerthought community is swamped with stuff that are not showerthoughts.

Do the marie kondo thing and if it doesn’t spark joy let it go. At least one of you two will be grateful in the long run.

You need motivation? Think of how much you would save over a year. Because it is an ongoing expense. At the moment you are spending $1320 dollars every year if my math is right. Judging from most comments here, prepaid plans are around $30 a month or so, that’s a massive difference! What would you do with $900 to spare? Also most carriers let you keep your number, right? So what’s to lose?
