Likes Anime, Video games, and drawn, tasteful pinups. Yes, I'm probably an oddball.
Also a realist. Just saying.

[Woof | 🦴 🍜 @woofle_train]

That's nice.

Anyway, here's a list of affordable (human) vtuber artists to support!! Because no, you do not need to spend 10k to get started.

Fuck AI.

Windows 11 is sending your gameplay data to Microsoft in real time.

It's called "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry" and it uses your CPU WHILE you game stealing FPS and resources from your game.

Services.msc → find "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry" → Disable

DISCLAIMER: DON'T READ THIS COMIC IF YOU'RE NOT USED TO FLAWED, SKETCHY, AND ROUGH PENCIL ARTWORK THAT'S MADE BY IMPERFECT HUMANS.

[vtuber nook @vtubernook]

seeing some confusion about what vtuber nook is, so here's a clear explanation

vtuber nook is a FREE resource directory for vtubers and streamers

think of it like a search engine or catalog for free vtuber assets

let me break it down 👇(1/4)

This is really hard and embarrassing for me to post, but I don’t feel like I have a choice anymore.

My family and I are in a really bad situation right now, and I need to be honest about what’s happening.

【TWITTER x BLUESKY 🦋】
After deep research on Bluesky and how it works, I discovered a content creation pattern that can be very helpful (and even drive more followers to Twitch/YouTube)!

【TWITTER】
With recent changes on Twitter — especially the one on January 15 — it’s not recommended for artists to promote their work here.

Instead, strategically build your brand and connections with other creators.

Focus on text posts that grab attention and quote tweets with opinions on topics you like (especially those with images, to avoid a wall-of-text timeline).

Twitter remains a platform sponsors check, so use it optimally — avoid controversial posts or complaints about changes.

Nothing can be done except accept Elon’s changes; he won’t alter his policies.

【BLUESKY🦋】
Bluesky lets you create your own algorithm.

You follow people you want and actually see their content.

It doesn’t work like Twitter, where liking something floods your feed with related posts.

Bluesky feels like the old Twitter.

You can be more social — share thoughts without fear of messing up your algorithm or timeline.

On Bluesky, you can create “mini blogs”, which differs greatly from what Twitter has become.

Another plus: no paid features, so no one gains extra reach by paying monthly.

【RECOMMENDATION】
Post differently on each platform. Use Twitter for professional growth and Bluesky for personal growth.

Be yourself on Bluesky — use hashtags and share thoughts freely. Only people who want your content will see it. Bluesky followers are more likely to join your livestreams, as they see more of you in their timelines. The chance of getting commissions is also higher, since more VTubers are migrating to Bluesky to support artists and, with their follow, you art will be more seen.

Use Twitter as a business-focused platform: build your brand, attract sponsors, and connect with creators or agencies.

Use Bluesky as a micro-blog to expand your reach and promote content: let people freely discover who you truly are.

I hate technology quite often recently 😒

[Rene씨 Art | Live2D Artist & Rigger | VGen @RenessiArt]

🚨YOUR ART IS NOT SAFE ANYMORE!!🚨
EVEN YOU USE GLAZE AND NIGHTSHADE!!

I always use glaze and nightshade before posting my art, and usually it will have noise and can't detect my style, but now, it can easily remove my watermark and make a different pose with my style

[🕹JustBern🎮 @JustBern64]

Reply or quote if you are anti-AI, anti-generative-AI, and pro human-made art.

[Trying to think of new SN @Pondering_a_SN]

This is what I was referring to when I mentioned the new option to edit images directly through X.
There is no sanctity anymore.
There is no respect.
I say this with the bottom of my heart to any that would do this kind of thing:
Fuck. You.

[Trying to think of new SN @Pondering_a_SN]

I don't know how long this option has been active, but i just discovered https://t.co/kO0SJPDaz9 is allowing people to AI edit photos and pictures directly from the website.

As much as I love seeing human made art here, might be best finding a different social media now. #art

[Cor (Duly Appointed MMX Hype Gal) 🎀 @Corvinelle]

On the topic of Mega Man comics again (and putting X's existential crisis to the side for a sec), the way X Timelines starts in X's room is so interesting imo because it immedatiely raises lots of questions. Why do the robots sleep in beds here? Are X and Zero roommates? (1/3)
