ShopDreamUp AI ArtDreamUp
I admit that I like the old layout, when the bar used to be a little more to the center. It's not a big deal, alright... Nothing's changed; the functionality is still the same. What's changed is that they moved the bar to the right, isolating it from the Shop and Submit buttons. I guess it's less confusing this way, though it does look slightly like an eyesore because it's in a slightly darker box. The Submit button is an even bigger eyesore because it's in a bright green box. 
It seems like DA's attempting to copy Twitter and Facebook. 
In support of pencils
I remember when, as a kid, I used to hold a pencil a lot. Give me a pencil, and I would come-up with the most ridiculous stuff that only the hyper imagination of my child self could muster then. It's how my artistic abilities developed over the years. Pencils are a nice tool for budding artists to master their craft with. They have an advantage over pens and brushes: the ability to erase mistakes. This property also makes them perfect for professional artists to plan out the layout and composition of their paintings beforehand. Some artists even produce entire artworks via the pencil alone. These days, I hardly hold the pencil as frequently as I used to, mostly because I draw exclusively digitally now. Still, never underestimate the power of the Pencil tool in a given art program like Clip Studio Paint. While you'll never see it in the final completed artwork, the Pencil tool is still a very invaluable tool for artists to ensure that all the layout and character proportions will
The Hacker Saga - How I Got My Account Back
At the time of writing, I finally got my Discord account back. I've told everything to all my affected friends and deleted the offending link. One friend of mine blocked me, though... Can't blame them; I understand the need to protect yourself from an obvious hacker. I managed to explain everything on Twitter/X; still waiting for their respond back. Upon finally getting my account back, I've wasted no time doing a full screenshot of our conversation. This should explain what was going on. Because I had not seen this friend for a year, I was excited, and they seemed to really support my streaming endeavors when I mentioned to them that I'm a streamer now. It didn't help matters that my friend was indeed a programmer themself, further giving the plausibility that they are who they are when they said that they've been working on a game. However, I must also not ignore this possibility: that the hacker turned out to be my friend all along. In which case, I'd be very, very angry.
Warning! My Discord has been hacked!
At the time of writing this, I have disabled my Discord account. The hacker impersonated as one of my friends. They invited me to test this multiplayer game they allegedly been working on. And I fell for it. Before I knew it, the "installer" did some mumbo-jumbo with my computer's system files and basically have full access to my computer. I immediately ripped my computer's LAN cable. Even as we speak, I'm still doing a full backup to all my files. Unfortunately, even my Discord account got compromised. As a result, I had no choice but to disable it. Because I have 2FA, I don't think that the hacker could do anything about me disabling it. They tried to kick me out from Discord by logging me out. Nice try: I managed to do a password recovery, then forced myself back in to immediately disable my account. If you have someone you knew claiming that they're making some game or something and inviting you to test it out -- in this case, Tankaza or something -- DON'T. Do not entertain
Finally, my thoughts on the Super Mario Bros Movie
Yesterday, I finally managed to convince my parents to allow me to go to the cinemas once more, so I can watch the Super Mario Bros Movie. That marked the first time in 3 years since I get to step into a cinema hall, since the start of the pandemic -- I had to assure my parents that I'm following every single quarantine and social distancing protocols ever. The following are solely my own thoughts and impressions after watching the movie, and there will be no spoilers throughout. Now, part of the reason why I wanted to watch this movie is because so many people that I followed, including some of my friends, have watched it, and they're recommending me to watch it. (Admittedly, I was also just as hyped for this movie as they did, back when the first teaser trailers were released.) So I did, and I'm happy to say that, yes, I enjoyed this movie a great deal, far more than that infamous first Super Mario Bros movie attempt, back in 1993. Here's the thing: I don't think that the

I admire you for at least giving the things a shot, in contrast to the people who are threatening to leave this site over something I bet they haven't even tried.
