Random update with a side of vent.
a year ago
Hey guys, just checking in and all. I've got a couple things to write down, mostly because I am bored and had a bit of an interesting month.
[I updated the journal title to avoid misleading. Sorry if it pinged.]
A quick TLDR: Archiving with a mess, venting from drama; it was a long July.
I have not been drawing for a while, mostly since I've been downloading countless pictures for the past month and a half.
To put a long story short as to why, I've heard Pixiv was performing a dumb rule change back in mid-June, and was supposedly going to be effective on August 1st. However, I believe I might have been tricked since I have NOT heard about anything else regarding it since, and it is probably not as stupid as it seemed, which means I have wasted an entire month and a half downloading pictures for no other reason than archiving.
Even stupider is that my browser started acting up over the sheer amount of downloads within the last week and a half, and deleting the download history up to a certain point causes it to freeze. I vigorously searched for how to fix this odd issue, and I may have amended it to some degree, I will still have to reinstall the browser just to hopefully fix the issue itself.
While I spent most of the month downloading pictures, I've also tried to find other forms of entertainment. Trepang2 released a sweet DLC pack and I gave it a good go for the past week.
As for social issues, having to deal with a bunch of melodramatic bitches who whine over stuff that doesn't apply to them, and then try to come up with magic, whimsical, sensationalistic, movie-trailer-esque excuses on "why we should care", isn't very fun.
I get we're in tough times, but do people really have to copycat news, crying crocodile tears, shaming and out-ironying opposing views, manipulating silverspooned adult children into wrecking their own lives for a FOMO-induced cause that is almost literally thrown away by the following week? Are you social media addicts users THAT spoiled?
All this crap simply boils down to crying for attention. You don't get anything out of it. Not even your like count is enough to make up for it. It means people liked your comment, not you, specifically.
Your life is what it is, whether it's boring, rough, ridiculous, mundane, or otherwise, and you can still make the best of it, but is any of that crap not good enough for you, and enough of an excuse to make life worse for others, instead of helping yourself get better at mundane things in life?
To say the least, It's been a long month, but I'm glad to get all that mess off my chest.
I might make a YCH deal of some kind down the road, we'll just see what happens.
