    Hi! Sorry for long days of absence, some journeys take too long to end. Hope everyone's doing good, I had to fix some things, and I saw a lot of things as well, most of them, are bad, not only for me, but for a lot of people. I saw a large mass of people getting so upset, also, something thay should be good, fun, a amazing reveal, also disappointed a lot of people in a community, these things affect directly what we enjoy, it's surely a dark time for gamers, and other parts of the industry as well.

    Also, there are two things I want to talk about

    If anyone's worried about how I removed all my friends from my friends list, please, don't worry about that, my friendships will continue the same, what happened is that:

    1: I didn't see the need in keeping the list, there were a lot of people there who I didn't consider as my friends, and there were a lot of people who I consider as my friends and they weren't there as well. And there is the followers thing, which makes it even more irrelevant for me.

    2: And mostly important, I wanted for my profile to only have the "About Me" and "Activity" sections, my first attempt was getting rid of the blog I made, but It didn't work, as the blog section is still there, so in its place, I removed everyone from my friends list, which worked, now there are 3 sections only.

    So don't worry about that if you consider me your friend, our friendship continues the same, it's just a change in my profile.

    And lastly, I saw how controversial the Studio Ghibli art style copied by AI trend became (). I heard that a lot of artists are scared about this. If it's true, I honestly, don't understand why they're scared, I mean, I understand the reason for the fear, what I don't understand is why it's happening now, why it's still happening. Isn't AI showing for more than 1 year that it is capable of doing such thing? I would understand the reaction 2 years ago, but at this point? Also, it's just a trend, in no time, it'll stop and they will jump into the next art style to replicate with AI.

    I understand though people saying specifically in this case that it's really bad considering what Hayao Miyazaki himself said about AI (), I agree about that, but for me there's really nothing that can be done, maybe something related to copyright issues could be made, but such thing could be a headache for a lot of people. I believe the old man and the Studio's works speak for themselves, simply enjoy the good things we still have.

    I already shared my opinions on AI multiples times here, for me it's a lost battle, all I can do is ignore it (while I still can)

    Though, such thing became harder, you need to take a few decisions to resist, like, during this absence I saw for the first time a loooot of artists using "No AI" warnings in their drawings (), these guys really don't want to see their art styles being used for Ai training, and I'm one of them as well, so I guess I'll need to do such thing, I really didn't want to, especially because I wouldn't expect for it to happen, I'm not famous enough for them to do that to me, but I better do it now, before it's too late, and I'm not sure if it'll work, but it's worth trying. All of my drawings from now on will have a "AI use and reproduction prohibited" warning, I don't feel good doing this, but it's necessary, I Believe I'll get used to it.

    That's what I can still do.

    Also, happy 5th anniversary for Maria (the original version of my oc Mary) and the Starys :party-pinkie: ~☆
