@kauko I'm usually an advocate of woof.
mh, same-hat
@kistaro I struggle with this myself. I desperately wish to mend, to please... while I don't know if it's "self-hate", I fixate on what to do, what I could've done...
@kistaro I dunno, you sure it's not softly serenading?
... maybe I shoudn't be tagging some things "identity weirdness" so much if it comes off as beating myself down for my "non-standard" pondering of experiences.
re: personal art, identity weirdness
@kistaro Only if you can be [NaN] metres tall to embrace a big rubber space belly.
Which I welcome, I just also think this mood doesn't lend itself to snuggling, eheh.
@Oneironott ... gekker cube?
re: old news, transformation, VR
Krekhov and his team found that animal embodiment could even be more believable, and more enjoyable than controlling the human form.
WELL, YEAH
personal art, identity weirdness
A first-person perspective version of my previous picture, Personal Universe.
I have a strong desire to just be a universe lately. Godhood, motherhood, caring for and guiding the reality within me.
... would be better than dealing with a lot of worldly garbage lately.
@kistaro Equalising for shitty headphones?? That sounds both awful and also completely understandable for mass-market use... ...
@VoxSomniator Holographic belt tail... the fursuits of the future.
@VoxSomniator I dig this idea and would sign up for such a vessel... to use on certain occasions, probably.
@Oneironott @VoxSomniator @Gyro@cybre.space @IceWolf Just adding on to say I am here for *all* of this. Weird furrry transhumanism is my jam. Be it magic, mechanic, biological...
@Soreth I feel like one problem to sort through would be credit card companies... like, supposedly the whole Patreon banning certain adult stuff can be traced back to the credit card companies...? Not entirely sure though.
@kistaro Looking very... pearlescent? With the chromatic shifting alike a pearl.
mad about social networks at 1am
DA appears to have done away with its categories, and focuses instead of tag-based organisation of submissions.
Now, its categories were an absolute dumpster-fire with how broad they were in some places but specific in others but oh my god this will have broken finding millions of submissions.
I went to search for a reference and found some easy enough by virtue of choosing the right keywords, but casually browsing something like... Windows UI skins... is going to be impossible now.
It's agonising that there's no good websites for artists. DA's shitting the bed, FA's admins suck, Weasyl is stuck in the loop of no traffic.
I hate what Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr did to the internet. I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it i--
Why even bother with these massive public spaces? They either leave you open to harassment, remove control from your own content, or you get lucky and become popular and untouchable.
Yet it's impossible to escape them because the euphoria of attention is intoxicating.
Focusing on small self-made communities would be nice.
Some people seem capable of doing it more than others. Some people make no effort to break the cycle of latching onto that attention and show little empathy towards others if it doesn't satisfy that attention.
Even if DA and the rest were effectively social networks too, there was no structure forcing endless engagement and growth. They celebrated art, not commodified it.
Or maybe I'm kidding myself and it was just as bad (given the existence of points and the print system), but at least we had art, rather than angry microblogging.
@starkatt Ohhh, yeah maybe that's where I first heard it, aha.
@starkatt I've heard this viewpoint elsewhere, so I suspect there's some truth to it.
I feel like there's academic studies into it even, or I could be misremembering.
re: eye contact, socialist teeth
@Goldkin Oh, that's, more terrifying and battle-scarred than I usually see you.
re: tech, disinfo
@Goldkin Too bad it's fake, apparently.
