🎨 A painting/Fediverse experimentation:
With percentages of Red, Green and Blue, you can obtain a precise RGB color definition.
So, please vote for one or more color channel and with the mix of all the votes, I'll challenge myself to paint a fantasy landscape, using the result as the dominant color.
(PS: I'm doing full time inking/penciling on episode 37 and a bit of colored art cool-down would be great! Also I need a bit of 'Fedifun' this week. Thanks for your votes and boosts! )

Now that I think about it, Twitter is the reason I stopped putting two spaces after the period.
Having that very limited canvas has done a lot of damage on my ability to write. I instinctively reach for short, choppy sentences.
No nuance.
Few descriptions.
Just. getting. ideas. out. fast.
The sheer horror of the immediacy of it all has been a severe limitation on my writing. How do I detox from this?
Dopamine is a hell of a drug that seeps into the fibre of your psyche. Product designers want to create addictions to the product so number goes up. A product is a failure unless it gets infinite growth. Even if it's gotten so saturated that there's no hope of ever really growing again.
I don't like that aspect of our society and how it's seeped out into everything else. I don't think I can do anything about that though. I am a voice within a voice in the wind. The only real effect I can have on people are these words and the thoughts that emerge from people thinking about these words.
I also don't know if these words will reach my intended target audience, but maybe my letter in a bottle will go somewhere that helps.
Here's hoping.
I am once again reminding you of the existence of #kdl (https://kdl.dev), a fancy new config/document language that could make your config files so much more expressive and maintainable than YAML/JSON. pls take a look!
