Could also just be taking Twitch forever - as far as I can tell there also seems to be a kind of unspoken thing where if someone's been active streaming on the platform for years their uploads on average get approved way faster than if someone's been streaming for like a year or two

Ohh, you mean like all at once?
No I don't believe so, but I'm sure someone out there would know better than me on that part.

Could just have been flagged for further scrutiny - Twitch has some pretty strict like "what counts as potentially ToS" stipulations for emotes

It's been a hot minute since I streamed...
But I'm pretty sure the limit scales with record sub-count at any given time.

I think like you unlock more after like numerous pre-set concurrent sub counts - I'm pretty sure there's something in the dashboard that mentions it.

I haven't been able to afford our get access to my meds in almost a year now... especially no thanks to all the Medicaid cuts.

Pretty much, yeah

Hey, I know that feel too and I made a post about it too a while back 😔
But like, 3D is still really freakin' cool and if anything, it's one of the things that reinvigorated my own passion to create after years of depression and stagnation.

Please keep at it? You make some cool stuff 🐙

I've been posting a fair bit of it on my profile here, and otherwise my Ko-Fi right now has more of what I've done visible - working on getting a VGen page ready to go too, and my work queue link there includes samples of my work more thoroughly.

Surviving on limited supports and one meal a day and gaslighting myself like "one day it'll all work out and be okay" 🫠

I've just been progressively making more art when I can and trying to cope & sleep when the burnout flares back up like pretty much every single day now

one way to get over that "blank canvas fear" is as soon as someone gets a new sketchbook, just draw a huge scribble all right on the first page - it helps to "mind over matter" the tendencies for perfectionism 😁 (and if you keep a discipline about it you can turn the scribble into a drawing anyway)

I do 3D character model sculpting and a fair few drawings :3
lately just making more portfolio builders and after focusing on 3D for several years straight now I'm slowly shaking the rust off my 2D skills

I do 3D character models & 2D illustrations 😁🧡

Literally the only reason I even managed to keep any job for any particularly long period of time was because the one I finally ended up with for 8 years was entirely remote, dealing with data and I didn't need to talk to a soul - in-person jobs and me don't seem to work well at all 🙃

Still under further construction - I will notify of when everything's ready soon enough - lately life and the entire situation around America and the RFK Jr. things has me more burnt out than I already have been for years now.

Level 28 of life is just mega burnout & back pain
