My most boring side, the one that likes to go in long tangents and really cares about stuff.

  • How do you listen to music?

    Jump

  • idk if ListenBrainz has this, but I know for a fact that lastfm has a big discovery function. You can import your spotify listen history and start scrobbling from there, and you're bound to find new artists!

  • How do you listen to music?

    Jump

  • Currently rip my CDs and then listen on my phone/PC as digital music. I also pirate music from artist I find problematic to avoid supporting them, and pirate old music I used to listen to which I plan to purchase later (not really in the position to buy all the music I've listened for free in my whole life, plus I feel like I've streamed them enough to support them, so I don't feel that guilty). My partner has vinyl records, so sometimes I listen to that, too. Also the ocassional concert when I can afford it, of course, I need that sweet live music.

    My current favorite band... Probably Twenty One Pilots? I don't listen to a lot of bands lol, I mostly listen to solo artists, in which case my favorite artist is by far Ren.

    I like Twenty One Pilots because they're like everything teen me would've loved. Specially a fan of Self Titled / NPI era. Raw garage-tier songs about your problems with God, and faith overall? Sign me tf in, I've had quite the history with religion.

    And I like Ren because of his hard-to-label music style from song to song, while so very clearly being a Ren song, with all of his theatrics, lyricism, life struggles, cynisism, and a splash of religion. I've been following him for a while and it's amazing to see so far he's come.

    Speaking of Ren and Twenty One Pilots... They're playing at a festival together next year (REN BARELY PLAYS LIVE)... And I can't fucking attend because it's in another continent. fuck me.

  • Has anyone here heard of or used the Revolt app? Now known as Stoat.

    Jump

  • Ah, none of my circle really uses that feature so I wasn't aware of its implementation. It feels like a super basic thing, suprised it's not on Stoat yet. I can see how that's also a dealbreaker to some.

  • I'm really rooting for it, it has sooo much potential. Biggest seller for me is how lightweight it is compared to Discord.

    In its current stage, it's a difficult switch if you come from Discord. No screenshare is a dealbreaker for me and many.

    I have my account, I sometimes use it to talk in big servers, but I've had no luck trying to bring friends in. And without friends there's no much reason to log in daily.

    Maybe one day when it gets the good features.

  • What's your favorite thing about your hobby?

    Jump

  • The thing I love most about drawing is the ability to visualize the silly ideas and characters in my head exactly the way I want it to. I love seeing my pieces and the characters come to life in such a vibrant way. And I absolutely adore the entire world of character design, being able to tell so much with just the way a character looks and is presented is so magical, definetly my favorite part of the process.

  • As much money as the parents can give before the child becomes spoiled and has poor money managing skills. So, with good education and parenting, all the money they need.

  • What is your opinion on ghosting?

    Jump

  • Not good. Done it a few times in my life, and I hate myself for it. I was in the recieving end for a while, like 5 years. It feels awful, specially if you are dealing with insecurities.

  • Whats the best voice acting in any video game?

    Jump

  • I have to plug in my favorite vg voice actor: Kellen Goff! A recurrent cast for the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, and one of the best performances in League of legends! His range and vocal control is crazy, plus he looks like a really fun guy based on his multiple interviews.

    Notable roles:Fiddlesticks (League of Legends)Arnold (Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret Of The Mimic)Funtime Freddy (Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location)

    And a really fun watch of him explaining how to do the Fiddelsticks voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czsRZd2-6Ac

    What were you doing at 18?

    Jump

  • 18, 2023 & 24, both really big years for me

    I oficially finished school! And after that came the job hunt (can't afford higher education), and to this day I haven't really found anything, sadly.

    2023 was also the year I oficially came out to everyone I know as trans, and started living comfortably as my real gender. Surprisingly, I had no issues in either side of the family (I was expecting a lot of drama).

    2024 was probably my best year of like, my entire life. I finally got to reconnect with and old friend sorta ex from early highschool. We were really close once, but both of us where going through mayor fucked up events on our life, and paired with our immaturity, we didn't really know how to keep the relationship going.Now years later we got talking again, and it's like we never stopped! Now I'm happy to call them my partner again, and our relationship is about to turn 1 year old :)

  • Your entire life gets turned into a movie / short series by the best filmmaker in the world with unlimited budget, do you like your movie? How do you think people would rate it?

    Jump

  • Honestly, I'd like to see my life on the big screen. Every story I write, and characters I make, have elements of what I have experienced on my life, so a realistic depiction of my life could be interesting.

    To boil down the plot: Kid growing up in awful conditions (and I mean awful), with shitty but compelling parents. Does a lot terrible stuff when growing up and eventually meets an equally (maybe slightly more) broken person. Together they learn to love the other and themselves.

    The movie wouldn't be afraid to depict those terrible moments, so you could truly get to see how awful that person was, and decide for yourself whether they deserve the good things happening in their life, or deserve the punishment they never got. I think that'd be my goal. To show myself as transparently as possible, without pushing my representation either way, to see how people would react to me leaving my past behind and finding happiness.

    The movie would also heavily touch in the subjects of: SA and CSA, religion trauma, neurodivergence, mental ilnesses and late diagnosis, the true impact of divorced parents, a shaky gender journey, terrible and extremely cringeworthy teen romance, paired with the most complex strangers-to-friends-to-lovers-to-friends-to-enemies-to-strangers-to-friends-to-lovers-to-it's-complicated you've ever seen, and a whole lot of self loathing.

    I'd also invest big on music. Music means so much to me and that has to be reflected on the movie.

    I think the movie could become somewhat of a success thanks to the controversy it would spark. I estimate a 50% of people would side with the protagonist and praise the movie for showcasing such a raw journey of self improvement, and so many would see themselves reflected on the story and be touched at how despite how unworthy and unlovable you may feel, good things can happen to you.The other 50% would find the movie outrageous. They would bash it for downplaying the terrible stuff done by the protagonist and how "they never got what they deserved". They'd preach the movie is harmful for displaying a story with a happy ending for the scum of the earth, and how that is the entire focus of the story and appearently the moral of the story.

  • I'm finally going to get to work on downloading all my music and abandoning streaming services. Any tips and/or advice?

    Jump

  • Nice!! Did this about a month ago and I've felt better with myself ever since :)

    My advice would be:

    • Make a list of albums you really like, and start with those first. This is mostly to get in tune with what you actually like listening to, since storage can become a problem.
    • I know you probably don't have the instant money to spare, but try to buy the music from the artist you love the most. You can pirate in the meantime, and you should definetly avoid paying problematic artists, but I think buying your music should be a goal you're aiming for; Remember, if you're not streaming their music, you're not gonna be supporting them in any way.
    • Find a music player that matches your need. In my case I'm using Lollypop. An free open source player available on Linux that supports Scrobbling by default (had trouble installng plugins in other players lol). There are tons of music player for different needs, like multi-platform, support for multiple devices, lightweight, lots of customization, auto-playlists, etc.

  • Researchers find evidence of ChatGPT buzzwords turning up in everyday speech

  • New research from Florida State University’s Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics, Department of Computer Science, and Department of Mathematics is revealing notable evidence that AI buzzwords overused by chat-based large language models aren’t just suggested on screens anymore — they’re frequently showing up in how people actually speak.

    Is this clever writing or is it actually written by AI lol

    Man I love The Owl House so much.
