    The redraw is partially to save my privacy, I apologies.

  • Is there an actual/viable youtube alternative or will google forever have an iron fist as a video platform?
  • misnina misnina Now 100%

    I think the problem is just the massive storage costs of holding lots of video. Youtube is king because anyone can upload whatever, at any amount, but instances of peertube have to monitor their usage closely.

    I was uploading to one only for vtubers, and they said they had enough money for 6months or so without dono help, but one month someone attacked or something and just ended up consuming videos at a repeated and huge enough rate that they got a surprise bill that was just too high. They also near the end had to turn off better streaming encoding because it was bandwidth heavy.

    I'm sorry about all the other posts that got lost with the server roll back ;_;

    But I do love this! The little details on the fences is a really nice touch that adds a lot of texture to the image.

    For these large scale portraits specifically I draw with Clip Studio Paint, convert it messily with PixelOver, and then work in Pyxel Edit. In general, I just use Pyxel Edit for my everyday any pixel drawing need.

    [Annoucement] Server Rollback on crystals.rest
  • misnina misnina Now 100%

    yeah unfortunatly. there was a more recent backup, but it failed to take for some reason so I had to go back farther. :( (edit: I also lost my very popular pixel art image of the danger ahead lol)

  • Some of my more recent art got axed from the rollback on crystals.rest, but I got a nice variety of size sprites for a person I have decided to called Melon! Used Pyxel Edit

    I had to rollback the server due to some kind of issues to 8-28. Besides my own post, I don't think there was much missing. I just wanted to make sure you guys were aware.

    you're not going to fault me for buying a chicken burger are you?

    There are TONS of people who will do that exact thing. what is or is not a sandwich or burger (is a burger a type of sandwich?) for some reason is a stupidly contentious topic that people feel passionate about.

    People take labels and their individual expectations of that label pretty emotionally.

  • As far as public support goes, why aren't disabilities and chronic illnesses treated in a similar manner to LGBT issues?
  • misnina misnina Now 100%

    For those asking for something that needs help/awareness, chronic pain sufferers (and disabled, but speaking from chronic pain myself) pretty much always have diminished mental clarity due to being in pain or stressed all the time. We can be seen as lazy when we don't have a job or have a hard time contributing, but I think people don't realize that getting medical shit done in america is like a full time job. The amount of hoops you need to jump through, repeat appointments to get your doctor to actually listen to your concerns, dealing with administration of doctors, insurance, and government because THEY STILL COMMUNICATE THROUGH FAXES, and just being dead tired of being a broken human being. You have to shout and scream basically or you will be pushed to the wayside.

    So basically, please be aware of invisible illnesses and have patience. We may have the physical capability to do a task on a good day, but shit can get so beaten down. Also medically insurance covered, like, managers/secretaries that help you navigate this bullshit would be great. A real job as a medical advocate for a person should exist.

    There could also be more awareness spread against the stigma/stereotype of people coasting off disability. (Often it's snuffed when it's mental) It's not really enough to live on, it can be taken away extremely easily, you have to resign yourself to poverty because if you can make some money you aren't truly disabled. That and disability submission takes 6 months to process, in which most people are denied first just cause. so they then have to get a lawyer to appeal, which takes months+. It's hard to get disability, and it gives you scraps.
