  @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt annoyingly, if the person requested a product and liked the outcome, they got what they paid for? I think if I could afford to commission someone, I would be paying for their artistic skills, but expect final filters/tweaks and polish. I wouldn't "commission an artist" if I thought I could make it myself another way. GenAI sold as artist's work is horrid. But does someone owning a fake Rolex watch care if it's fake, if it looks "just good en...

  @the_gneech@meow.social I've wanted crafting gear as combat glamours almost all the time I've played FFXIV. Ali rocks an informal look and rarely wants to draw attention to herself. Wooden jewellery too has historically been only for crafter/gatherer jobs, though there have been some recent-ish items that aren't. The use-any-appearance-for-any-job was the one big change I needed in FF14, and I'm really glad it's here.

  @the_gneech@meow.social I wondered afterwards whether you might be able to find it with my sketchy description XD Btw, I added one black dye to the top, it's not originally black as well as brown.

  @the_gneech@meow.social The jacket is a carpenter one for...I want to say scrips. But I'll check later tonight. I wasn't on socials or gaming yesterday due to my own stupidity.

  I'm kinda glad some nutter in the #PokemonGo dev team thought to add photobombing. Though, this is the first time I remember it not being Smeargle.

  I found another badly drawn one with an awful pun. My brain must have been melting or something.

• Post #670323

  I couldn't decide what to do to end today, so I continued my Lynx #drawing attempt. Excuse the pink light, that's the ambient light in this room when I'm trying to calm my mind down before sleeping. #handdrawn #wip #sketch #catsofmastodon

  Decided to finally get back into #FFXIV for some random casual ambling and XIVLauncher decides it doesn't want to...well, launch. I don't use mods so don't need XIVLauncher for that. It's convenience, faster patching and quicker login method. Now I have to wait for the official launcher to install some Mcrosft crap so it can work. Oh look, it didn't work, so I can use the other perfectly functional launcher instead :otterfacepalm: Why add MS stuff if the...

  I honestly can't think of another site that won't take me to the page I purposefully clicked on because I'm not 1) in Windows or MacOS 2) In a specific list of browsers The whole point of a browser is to take you to the places and and least *try* to show you the things. I'm on Linux using (right now, at least) LibreWolf, a derivative of.... Firefox a "supported" browser. :blobcatfacepalm: #FFXIV #FF14

  And XIVLauncher is working again. For some reason it wouldn't work when the game needed patching... when one of its advantages is quicker patching. I did the update in the main launcher then switched back. Going to try and get an hour or so in-game at last. [P.S. I'll have to let @altbot deal with this image ALT (I do review and edit when I use altbot, and I do still write some of my own).] #FFXIV #FF14

  Even when playing my alter ego, I get yowled at by a cat when the food's not quite ready 😜 #FFXIV #FF14

  It was lovely to get back in #FFXIV. And it hasn't given me a headache this time. Yay for a larger dose of meds. I slowly did some crafting/gathering society quests, then just ran the intro story quest with the Felyn explorer. I played, rested and smiled. I now need night time meds and sleep, so I don't tempt the headache back. G'night // #StaySafe // #BeKind

  We try not to take sides when there are clear moral imperatives out there... but remove a historical figure from our bank notes, and UK politicians do their nut in. :blobcatfacepalm: The bank shouldn't have to justify a theme change after 50 years. If you're going to burn in anger, do it in the direction of people and situations deserving of it. It's not like we're lacking options right now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy03zy1lr8go

  Okay, it's time to do as my Belle #cat has done : curl up, shut the world out, and go to sleep. I've made tiny bits of progress on things today. But I need meds and rest again. G'night // #StaySafe // #BeKind

  The things I stumble on when browsing my past photos... #ComicsStrip #badlydrawn #penguin

• Post #645689

  About to remove my old site from Google Search Console. A weird end of an era, which was started, apparently in January 2017.

• Post #645688

  Right, that's my only real post. I have blood tests tomorrow, so need to be waking up in 6½ hours so wifey can drive me to the doctors, then out for coffee. I will have to leave my woodwork table in this chaos, and deal with it tomorrow. (Though I'm intrigued how @altbot will describe this photo. I wrote my own ALTs for the bookmark, but this picture's too busy). G'night // #StaySafe // #BeKind

  I've finally caught the female version of Combee in #PokemonGo, meaning I can evolve it. I hoped, during the #PokémonPokopia "crossover" event, that of have a chance.

  So my increased meds seem to be making me feel more like myself. Wifey says I've been "more present". However, I'm shattered. Coupled to that yesterday there was a series of house jobs that needed doing so NJ and her friend could use her rooms, and a necessary trip to the doctors for blood tests, and today, I've just kinda flopped. I had to change the beds, but I've mostly been drawing. I hope to get to the office to make blank wooden bookmarks...

• Post #645684

  Feeling about as small as my #Espeon in #PokemonGo. I've managed to shower, do dishes and look into wood suppliers on my phone. And I'm shattered. I've been up less than 12hrs. It's more the energy levels stopping my social media usage, because it takes social energy normally, but I'm so low, it's difficult. About to try and sleep 3+ hours earlier than normal. Hopefully my meds can nudge me over the #fatigue/sleep line.

  Just a prototype bookmark, solely to figure out the workflow from the sheet of raw material to the end. My lettering sure needs a lot of practice. And tweed does not make an adequate substitute for ribbon. I'll be trying one of my original designs tomorrow. #pyrography #woodwork #bookmark

• Post #609942

  Right, well, I didn't get into FFXIV, because I needed to do some extra work in relation to where my LOTRO content is archived, then fix a few other things. It's 4.30am and I need to calm myself and my pain down, then sleep. Going to be working on a basic wooden bookmark tomorrow. So drawing and fashioning with my hands. Should be more restful. Once I can wake the heck up anyway. Good night, #StaySafe and please #BeKind. There's too much of the other stuff already.

  Hey folks, It's too late at night/early in the morning to do a personal update, but if you're still on my FibroJedi Patreon, then there's a post for you. If you're not there, then in 4 days time that post goes live for the world. Thanks. #LOTRO #FFXIV #SWTOR https://www.patreon.com/posts/where-my-content-152664058

  @careclinic@mastodon.social Thank you. Take care of yourself, too.

  @anarchaeopteryx@gamepad.club I still need to do that. Or choose not to, given the likelihood of using any of the items as rewards. It's a cool concept, and probably great for people who listen to, or make, in-game music. I'm neither. Is it fun to do? (once you know how to do it!)

  If a Dragon was reading a fantasy story, would it be about a world without magic? Or would that be filed under "horror"? :blobcatthinking2: 🐉 (And with that, it's meds and bed time...)

  @Ratoncita@mastodon.social if they followed Jesus they would try to be like him and do what he says. Same with /any/ religion. Jesus didn't say "blessed are the war-makers". The man in charge doesn't stand for supporting the poor, or welcoming the strangers like Jesus preached. In history, people have often used God as an excuse. Sadly, so-called Christians have done it a lot. And this isn't how the Bible says Armageddon would start. *sigh* what a waste of lives in rec...

  The one thing affecting me here on Mastodon is that I will soon change my @ handle and use my #writing pseudo instead. But I want to design a new avatar first. I use this one on Bluesky, but it's an unseen character in my world, rather than based on me, which I think would be better. As would making a coloured one. I will still post about gaming as/when my health lets me play them. My change in focus does not mean I want to change servers. You weirdos let me in - you're stuck with...

  Aside from the walk, and clearing down loads of dishes, prepping fruit and veg boxes for myself, I've achieved very little. I had intended on publishing fiction for Patreon people, but that's best done at the PC, but I've not felt like moving in the last 4 hours, much less proofreading and editing. If I skip house jobs tomorrow and go to the office before doing my walk, that should help move my writing forward. The pain hasn't been as bad today (2nd day on higher dosage) but m...
