I'm still quietly mucking about here, but I've been more focused on non-internet things lately, admittedly. I've been less active on here/Twitter/Cohost/Telegram/Discord/etc., and I've felt a need to consolidate my online spaces. I can't keep up with tracking several online spaces.

On Cohost I have ArthurDTayra and 🔒ArthurAfterDark
On Twitter I have myophthisis, 🔒ArthurAfterDawn, and TheNewAgeOfOhm remaining. I may slowly phase out my use of Twitter considering how much of a mess it's become, with no end in sight.
I'm on Fediverse via Mastodon and tumblr, but they just don't work for me.

I've stopped following those who follow base individuals like gabshiba, forgewielder, sonofea/nightterror, dirtypaws/foxmusk, lordvictor. (This is also a work in progress.) No, I'm not going to explain why they're base since that info's already out there. I'm tired of giving passes to those who should know better but don't care. I'm also not following any blue check Twitter users. I'm being very polite in this paragraph.

I don't have much in the way of anything new to relate. I barely commission anything these days. Society and circumstance have treated a good number of artists I used to get commissions from unfairly, and more often than not these days I lack the funding after paying of bills and whatnot to commission something. I'm more interested in, say, modding Neverwinter Nights 2 or playing with RPG Maker MZ.

If AI image generators weren't heavily problematic, I'd probably still be fooling around with them, too. I enjoyed fiddling with Character AI until they involved themselves with cryptocurrency and NFTs. Big no to that. I've been fiddling with the alternatives ChatFAI and ChatAI instead, less for RP and more for creating bots. It's disgusting how modern tech is ruined by techbros, venture capitalists, reactionary politicians, etc. I'd love to get into VR, but that's a luxury that I'll have pass on for the foreseeable future.

Speaking of RP, no, I don't have the wherewithal for it anymore. I dunno, I can't explain it, but I burn out quickly and easily after a few paragraphs or lines.

I'm still living in NorCal. I'm still working at the job I started when I moved to NorCal. (It treats me well enough.) I'm still with my supportive beau, partner, and prized possession kuntos. I count myself lucky for these.

That's all for now.
