said this on a shogi server but I think it applies to pretty much anything, so sharing it here. self deprecation doesn't help you at all, it's tricking you into failing more comfortably. be proud of yourself, even if you have to fake it.

In 2024, I committed to drawing every day for six months. It challenged me in ways I never expected and helped me understand that improving as an artist and as a person are the same journey.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

Globally famous and unsure if he was actually that good, Stephen King published under the name Richard Bachman to see if his success was a fluke. What did he find out and what can we learn?

I spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs easier, even if it's just used in "very early ideation stages."
Zero said "yes." Most said it made their job harder.
I learnt a lot about concept artists. You should too!

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

5/8 for wins in SS6 brackets in 2025. Think I can get those numbers up for 2026, I've been improving steadily.
Gonna put more time into Xrd too and see where that goes. Wasn't sure I'd still have the motivation for FGs this time last year but I've been having a lot of fun lately.
