i hate this type of clickbait. maybe there is useful information inside, but it relies on the novice’s insecurity in their own knowledge. like it shows some completely fucking normal eyes or a normal midi piano roll or a normal epoxy resin mold or whatever and then tells you that some undefined unknown thing is RUINING your art, because you don’t know anything abt art and you’re still in the phase where you’re windowdressing with a billion little tips and practices that are useful for maybe a year before you outgrow them so you can’t actually verify whether you are inadvertently ruining your art by having not already memorized this particular one. anti-education material, this is.
where is the fucking reverence in knowledge and craft? where in these fucking thumbnails do we ever learn why art is worth making? why are you an artist if you only wish to serve your own ego?
p.s, a couple people are trying to guess what this video thinks is the problem with the eyes in the thumbnail, but that drawing is actually presented as the “good” version. creators literally spinning demons out of wholecloth for novices to fear.
i dont wanna single out digital artists, cus it’s even worse on my turf
Here, allow me to visualize my feelings about obnoxious clickbait thumbnails:
We really miss the tactility of cartridge-ized tech like this. Give us modularity give us tactility back.
Give me an antenna that sticks out of the top
Yeah that was a big part of why my Vintage Computer Festival exhibit was on floppy and optical discs. These are bits of vintage tech that are specifically designed to be handled by humans. They’re very tactile, especially compared to a lot of the other stuff at vintage tech festivals and museums, which tend to be “DO NOT TOUCH THIS” types.
Having seen @foone’s exhibit at VCF West XIII & XIV, I can say with 100% certainty, she does a fantastic job. Hands-on experience with history is what a vintage computer festival exhibit should be all about, and this right here is a prime example.
Thanks for the better pictures! And thanks in general
Man, the flesh sucks. I’m gonna abandon it for the machine.
Hey was anyone gonna telle that the machine is also subject to change? The nature of my decay is just different now. Shit sucks. I’m gonna abandon the machine for the divine.
Bad news about the divine
Win 11 feels like Win 8 in that it’s so awful that everyone should just skip it and wait for Microsoft to smarten up.
you are in her dms, I am in her garden. buried beneath the soil. the roots of herbs and spices dig into my veins. the worms turn my flesh into good soil for her harvest to grow. my soul is in the fruits of her labor as she makes herself a stew. we are not the same
Dendrogaster (a crustacean that parasitizes starfish)
this is how they look
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, CRUSTACEAN.
my tags need to go in the main part of the post actually
this is what im talking about that’s fucking horrible. worth noting though that the crustaceans are a broad class of marine animal which include barnacles and such as well as the usual suspects. so the nightmarish vision of a crab evolving into that terrible thing is thankfully not true
IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM @velociraptrix BARNACLES ARE DESCENDED FROM MOBILE LEG HAVING NORMAL ANIMALS. hell world hell world hell world
