I came up with the perfect analogy for ads on windows when talking to a friend who isn't into computers, at all.
You have a rough day at work, so you just wanna sit at your work bench in your garage and make stuff. Sharpen tools, nail things into wood and when you're in the zone and finally forgetting about all the troubles of the outside world, a dude breaks into your space and HEY I HAVE A LIMITED TIME OFFER FOR HAMMERS, YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS and the guy just drops a bunch of pamphlets on whatever you're working on.
You can beat the shit out of him, you can even set up traps so nobody else can bother you, but the damage is already done. You have to go back to square one, just trying to chill where you make stuff.
@AMP has been working on our website more and more. It's becoming more than just a place to buy and read our comics!
https://atomicomics.net/ now has a drawing pad that you can vandalize in any way you want! We also just set up a forum, so far the only topic is a post I made listing what we use to print our stuff.
We really wanna make this a place to hang out, so I've been tasked to find "Well meaning shitheads to try to break the site". We're going to be adding even more fun stuff this year, so look forward to that, along with even more comics!
I need a place on the internet I can say Spic, faggot and retard while also posting my unhinged drawings. This place is the ONLY place that has the memes and shitpostings I like in one place and not hidden on accounts that are gonna get banned forever.
@kaia The worst part of AI isn't people losing jobs or the environmental impact, it's the fact that any uncreauncreative bugman with a wad of chewed bubble gum for a brain can make this vapid, useless "content" for other gum brains to go :clapping:
With real creative software, you at least have to have a real vision and skill to make something, the fuckers can type out a video from their rite aid android tablet and upload it to tiktok.
