I lurk their #ykkaria channel on Rizon, and I don't think anyone there knows anything either. Post Office just died. And I miss the bird threads on dreamch.

Don't. Gigacorps sell slop for cattle, not making art for we the people. The entire industry (perhaps all of them come The Great Financial Reset of 2030) is about to collapse, you're not gonna make it, that ship has sailed. Pursue a new passion, for your sake.

I wouldn't consider making games a passion, more just a hobby. I never talk about my passion in life with other people online. Sometimes I mod games but I mostly mod really old games no one other than really niche communities play. Although I worked on a model replacement thing with another person earlier this year for a game that is so modern it technically didn't come out yet and is still currently unfinished lol. That's a first.
I believe financially it's better to pursue goals that can uplift one another and which have visible and comprehensive effects on the people around you than attempting to pull a lightning in a bottle moment with a video game for the sake of monetary gains. Something something the root of all evil.

What? I get bromide as a metaphor for something unoriginal, derived from the use of bromide to create photographs, but sulphite sounds like someone just made it up.

I have to take care of my family, they've invested a lot in me and I can't throw it away no matter how much I want to

Recently? Nothing honestly except fumes and trying to do good in this world. Also self-improvement I guess.

I love this artist, they draw very beautiful youmus. Looking back through this thread, there are a lot of good 2hus, but I've never posted in this thread.

What keeps me going is my friends. I tend to spiral into psychosis from financial pressure, mental illness, and job stress. But my friends will host regular events that snap me back to reality. Small things, like weekly TTRPGs, random movie sessions, VRchat, holiday get-togethers on Independence Day and New Years, and just a general "wanna hang out" every once in a while. I can really say that if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have made it this far. And I do my best to keep them going as well, a lot of them have had tough times. But we stick together, and we're all still here because of it.

Apes are social creatures. And we are apes. So be social, your brain wants to.

>>23058
I agree wholeheartedly, love how this artist does youmu. I also really like the other artist in this post, who makes really cute youmus and yuyukos.
Also will take the Mexican pizza into consideration. My second job is at a grocery store so I could just easily get some dough there but I'd have to run it by my friends first since they are making Birria

I volunteer at a homeless shelter. There was one incident where one of the clients came back to the shelter too late relative to the curfew-time and so was forced to spend the night outside on the streets for that night, and he was somewhat non-compliant. He kept his hand on the door, forcing it open, and I had to keep myself at the doorway, so that he didn't come in. He eventually got the things he was asking for like his phone, and peacefully resigned himself to the streets that night, but my coworker did check with me that night - when I set the garbage bins outside, did I properly close the shutters behind me? She seemed afraid that if I had failed to do so, the exiled client could forcibly enter, perhaps seeking vengeance. Her fear made me afraid.
But generally speaking, my primary fear when I work at the shelter is to not involuntarily glance at the breasts of the women working there. This anxiety is borderline constantly on my mind, but it's beginning to ease these days.
There's also fear of eye contact with one particular male staff member. I don't know why, but I really struggle to maintain eye contact with him. I use prayer to deal with the eye contact issues I have with everyone, and it really works! That's my testimony.

So yeah, those are my workplace fears. It's mostly anxiety. I would say the homeless shelter is a safe place to work. I'm not necessarily safe from rejection, but I am safe.

Blaise Bailey Finnegan III's speech is pretty on topic of whatever you'all are discussing. Highly recommend listening to the song!

ngl i expected wayy worse stories from a homeless shelter, but was it really necessary to not let him in? my guy was just late and then he had to sleep on the streets

Learn to run fast

somebody put a realistic looking rubber snake near the entrance door once and I nearly jumped out of my own skin it was embarassing

I already have a fan (two actually, a white one as well but I can't really show that at the same time) from that store. scary

pretty fan, I guess rolls have similar taste

If you drink tea or coffee daily it can be worth it to get a nice quality cup you really like both ergonomically and aesthetically. Makes a big difference since it's something you use so often.

Replace broken items. Maybe obvious but it really does make a difference. Had a broken ceiling lamp for years now, just bare lightbulbs sticking out. Bought a new one months ago but kept postponing cause I didn't really think it'd matter that much. Sure did now that I installed it. Feels really cozy in here now.

Also just a personal kinda comfy purchase, ordered some pipe tobacco. Gotten much too expensive for me nowadays and I already smoked up most of the stuff I had that I liked so I've just shelved that interest. Came across some on a clearance sale at half the usual price per tin, so I got a few. Figuring I'll save them for the future, open sparingly maybe a few years apart. Also got a cheap pipe with a much smaller bowl than my old ones, to eke out the stash further.

Considering picking up a portable (pocket sized) radio.
On one hand, you can use just about anything for radio these days. Built into your phone, almost all mp3-players have built in radio too. Can stream net-radio when you're at the PC.
On the other, it has a certain feeling to have a separate unit for just that. Purpose built interface, probably better speaker, still have battery left on your phone if you run the radio dry. Doesn't spark the same interaction triggers as a smartphone/computer either, check on websites/apps and so on.

Still very much undecided.

Go a portable CD-walkman for music while walking; it plays mp3s, so it's good!

Recently i've been listening audio books at: https://www.youtube.com/@vincentbagnall/videos
Voice acting is of highest quality. Subjects of readings are humanitarian in nature, themes related to psychology, spirituality, mysticism, poetry, philosophy, politics, history, art of acting and Shakespeare.

I like to put on a Bancroft Brothers podcast when I'm washing the dishes. This is a pair of twin brothers who are also both former Disney animators and have decades of experience with the animation industry. They interview others who are or have been in the industry.
