Can we talk about the devastating, heart-breaking moment when you find a beautiful piece of fanart of your face claim...

...only to discover it was AI-generated?

All-in-all this circles back to the 'proper sourcing/crediting' camp and while some folks can make the argument that roleplaying is more about the writing than the aesthetic, I agree with the points made about the animanga roleplaying experience is now packaged as a whole with equal parts writing/aesthetics/graphics and that's not something that's gonna change in a while, I feel. Also the exploitative nature of some anime/manga AI-generators have caused some artists I follow to put statements in their social media platforms to plead with others that their art isn't allowed to be used to train AI speaks volumes. Anyway that's my yackety-sax two-cents piece for this thread.

I've never eaten more KFC in my life until now when I came to Aus.

The Youtube algorithm seems to know this fact very well.

true friendship is when they're more than willing to read your 20-paragraph long essay on a pretentious indie eastern european survival horror game from 2005 and then STILL ask questions about why you're absolutely obsessed with a single pretentious white man who can only ever take Ls in said game before proceeding to read your followup 20-paragraph long essay on said white man

this is easily the most ominous thing i have ever said to anyone

2023 was a tough year, but it was a hard-paved road towards healing after dealing with the death of a parent back in 2022. I didn't really get in any significant roleplaying done this year but I'm hoping that 2024 would be different, and to set aside a lot of past differences in my communities and social circles for a fresh restart.

One, while I simultaneously was stressed and overworked at my old job, I loved all the people there and I genuinely miss them ever since I quit to move to Australia. Made some really great friendships with coworkers I never knew I could have (all of my previous coworkers at different jobs were just nice acquaintances at best) and they were all so supportive about me making the big change to move to a new country.

Two, helped my family take care of final affairs of our loved one and seeing them genuinely making positive steps to healing through our grief. And on the positive side, I helped my mom reconnect with her estranged sister and they're back to being best friends again.

Three, I moved to Australia!

Four, the amount of paperwork I had to do to get to stay in Australia is insane but it was a gigantic hurdle that I'm so glad I managed to get over. So many documents to prepare, so many forms to fill out, and not to mention begging the officers at the local police station to fingerprint me so I can certify that I am Certainly Not A CriminalTM 🙃

And five, my SO's family and extended family are some of the most warmest, kindest, giving people I know, and I'm so grateful to be included as well. We're all going on a trip up to Queensland next year together and it's going to be my first "tropical" vacation in god knows how many years.

Bridgerton, but maybe set in a fictional world/country.

With the site's equivalent of Lady Whistledown and her gossip being the crux of site plots and characters' threads contributing to her next column.

Just maybe a new site coming closer towards the end of the year, it's been on the back burner living rent-free in my mind for the past six months but I've been so busy preparing for my move, both logistically and spiritually :pepepray:
