This account is mostly for shitposting. Don’t take anything it says too seriously.
All my OC is created with MS Paint (not Paint 3D). I know how to use “real” photo editing software, but I still prefer Paint for memes; I enjoy how its technical limitations add a problem solving element to the creative process.
I despise ads in nearly all forms. My art aims to offer the viewer a glimpse into how I perceive them. Colors are often inverted because inverted colors are often perceived as being “ugly” and “harsh” and I think all ads are ugly and harsh-looking.
I try not to spend more than 20-30 minutes on any one piece because I think spending any more time than that indicates a certain level of respect for the original source material I don’t wish to convey, and I want my art to have a certain “vandalism” or “graffiti” vibe to it.

Ah, self-taught. The slowest, most difficult way.
- Comment on Do you participate in this hobby without a formal IT education or a career in a 1 month ago:
- Buy books
- Read
A “formal education” mostly involves reading a book. These books can be identified, purchaed, and read without enrolling in any course.
I have a whole shelf full of text books for IT degrees and certifications. Despite never enrolling in any classes, amazingly, the books still allowed me to read them.

For better or worse, once you put your art out there, it’s no longer your creation anymore; it belongs to the world now. You can’t control what people do with it after that.

I usually open a document and type notes to myself. If I followed documentation, I’ll link it and download an offline copy in case it 404s one day. I also export configurations to csv or json and link those.
Something else would probably be better but it works for me and for what I do.

This is like me reading The Great Gatsby in high school. “An asshole throws some parties, then another asshole runs someone over with their car. No one learns anything from this.”

Hilarious if true. We always used to poke fun at rich kids by saying, “he walks around like he’s got a stick in his ass” so it gives that expression an entirely new, arguably funnier, meaning.

Having donned a toga several times for Halloween, I can tell you, they’re surprisingly comfortable and delightfully breezy for the undercarriage.

“Indications of humans wearing pants” doesn’t have to refer to an archeologist finding preserved remains of pants buried in the ground. It could refer to art depicting people wearing pants, writings where people are described as wearing pants, a receipt for the purchase of some pants, or even the discovery of tools that could be used for making pants.

Probably in their pocket. Before being incorporated into clothing, “pockets” referred to small pouches that were cinched shut and tied to a belt. The term “pickpocket” was created during this time. It was common to use a small, sharp knife to cut and “pick” pockets right off someone’s belt.

Ok, but before pants, humans wore robes, kilts, loin cloths, all kinds of coverings besides just pants.
Also, fun fact, the reason why it’s called a “pair” of pants is because each pant leg used to be a separate garment; they were held up together at the waist with a belt.
