Choco, if you ever want to brainstorm strategies for art sales, lmk! I'm in a similar boat with commissioned art.

(Which BTW if you know anyone interested in commissions send them my way. I can DM my portfolio.)

Quote from: Krizonar on August 27, 2026, 09:00:33 AMIn a forum relevant topic for projects/hobbies, I was talked into trying out Garuda Linux on one machine, so that was a project. I had so many small bugs add up over time that even on just a for fun machine it wasn't really sustainable (the funniest one that was relatively harmless was setting the built in firefox as my default browser nuked the firefox icon system wide into a '?' lmao), hence the reinstall (of unfortunately, for that machine, Windows lol). I did give thought on what an OS-Tan for Garuda would be like! I imagined a dragon. Hm, poor wording maybe. Surprisingly, Garuda comes with a Linux tan in its default wallpaper selection.

How are you liking Garuda? I would love to hear about your ideas for a Garuda-tan. ^_^

I also even noticed you uploaded a Mac tan and System 6 tan artwork to the gallery recently, ones I had commissioned actually! If you'd like to tag the artist, it's Kennymap as the filename implies. I do have a Cheetah tan one as well I'll likely hand off... who I've noticed has been getting love recently! As the tan I use for my main desktop, that was pleasing!

Nifty, I'll tag them! And yes Cheetah-tan seems to be getting her flowers recently, which makes me happy, I've always been a big fan of her design.

Nice to see another friendly face hehe, sorry I wasn't back sooner. And goodness, my condolences is all I can really say to such a string of events (when my activity dwindled on the site, I, too, was working a terrible job, no longer the case), I'm glad you're still here too.

And I hope things pick up for you, always looked up to you and everyone else here.

One Piece is one of those series i love, but it's so huge i doubt i could ever actually watch it. i'd like to get the manga at some point, since i can go through those quicker.

recently started a series called Though I Am An Inept Villainess and it's getting kinda intense. if you like body swapping and/or stuff set in fake imperial China,  i'd recommend it. :0

*hugs back*

tbh a hot beverage sounds nice, but i'm still kinda full, so maybe later. i can't do coffee, though, all it does is, ahem, keep me regular. but sometimes it's a nice treat, especially those blended coffee drinks you can get from cafes. making me wish i lived further west in the state so i could justify going to one of my favourite cafes, but i'm not driving 3 hours for a coffee, lol. xD;

d'awww, art sharing between friends! the best.

hobbies, i'm getting back into art (got a sketchbook in my lap as we speak and another off to my side), hoping to potentially sell some prints. depression and anxiety are telling me i'm gonna sell none of them, and yet i persist.

as for how things are going generally....suffice to say the past years have been a RIDE. i was homeless for a hot minute, worked my worst job ever, caught covid twice, lost a parent, losing the other to dementia. but hey, i'm still here, i guess. :0

Blueberry shredded wheat is the best. I had an english muffin with cherry jam and a moka pot espresso.

I'm glad you're doing well! Anything you're excited about at the moment in terms of projects or hobbies?

And I appreciate the well wishes, genuinely! <3 Truth be told things have been hard recently, but my friends & family have kept my spirits up. (And also having hobbies to work on.)

I'm glad you're still getting enjoyment out of my old art! I think I still have some of the Mac-tan art you shared here in my personifications art folder.

It makes me happy to see the forums being used, I like Discord for what it is (and especially as a DM app) but I feel like we (the internet collectively) lost something when we stopped using forums...
