If the Tony the Tiger fiasco says anything about how this goes, just tell the brand you're horny for their mascot. They'll block you of their own accord.
I am a simple man. If I see negative tag, I skip the blind.
With great puter comes great responsibility.
Comfy sweaters are the best!
Do you accept shitty, half-assed, sticky-note doodles?
Doodle and story behind it
I drew this doodle after getting another from a different artist. A little over a year ago, an artist I was following decided to put up a small sticker shop, so I went ahead and got one to show her a little support. The sticker was nice enough when it arrived of course, but alongside it was a personal thank you doodle from her. That gesture of a pure and personal desire to communicate through art is something I treasure dearly. To this day, that doodle is stuck to my computer desk alongside the sticker, and I'm gonna hold onto that little doodle for the rest of my life if I can.
At the time, the doodle inspired me to try and very quickly make something of my own. In my head I imagined maybe spending a minute or so without erasing anything, so I ended up with this. Despite the result, I love seeing it, and I actually stuck him on my door. It was never about the quality, but about the events, emotions, and process that lead to what I expressed. When I see it, I am reminded of that fact every day. I do not lament art being "bad," I am grateful for everyone who wishes to express themselves through art.
I'm amazed most sites would even let you tbh, so many seem to have arbitrary cutoffs well before 128 from my experience (kinda silly given you're sending a hash, not the data itself). I also have to log into computer systems at work from time to time, which obviously I'm not using my keepass file for. Beyond that though yeah, it's largely just the keepass master password for me too, and my login for my computer itself.
Thank you!
I am eating the shit out of these eggs.
Yeah moderation is the toughest part, especially considering this is a very general "just post whatever" community. Especially as it continues to get less obvious, I'd hate to see AI witch-hunt type comments against either actual artists, or maybe a random person dropping a saved meme they didn't even realize was generated themselves. For a place I mod which is largely populated by art posts (furry_irl) I opted to require artist credit in the title or post body when applicable, but that seems like it could be a bit tedious for 196.
I think the best case would be something like "we reserve the right to remove posts we believe are machine generated," but also "do not attack others about it, discuss tactfully, send reports for posts you reasonably believe are generated instead for moderator discretion."
Honestly if you have a tablet for long enough, the marks on the surface become pretty evident. Before my cheap huion tablet of several years finally gave out, parts of it felt like drawing on top of a vinyl record because the marks were so numerous and dug through the surface. In a way it was pretty cool to think about the amalgamation of all the strokes I ever used to create so many different things, all overlayed on top of one another onto a single "page."
Pour one out for the fish (into the bowl).

A redraw of the original feelings of power meme by @iamnotanartist_ by me.
The moment in question:
It took WAY too long to get access to a flush planet card for observatory's 1.5x effect, oh well. I got lucky enough anyway lol.
Draw your own while you still can, I'm sure you know where to go. Happy April Fools!
Truth really is stranger than fiction.

A few of the recent posts I've seen here were about custom jokers, so I figured I'd share mine and ask others here. It doesn't have to be drawn out, but if you ever spent some time thinking about one, I'm interested to hear about it! Speaking of, here is what mine is about:
Ain't Goin Nowhere infodump
This card is a homage to those people who overload their trucks in hardware stores, the ones who will tap the vehicle and say "That ain't goin nowhere!" It's a magical incantation, and something I thought would be fun to represent as an effect.
I tried to make it clear enough with the limited typing space you'd get, but that leaves out a lot of the tangential info of course. When I say Joker chips and mult can't decrease, think about the many cards which offer an unconditional trigger of these things in a given hand. When the trigger is unconditional, there tends to be an external condition which needs to be fulfilled, which can either decrease or reset (e.g. Hit The Road Jack, Ride The Bus). A joker can also be perishable and lose chips and mult over time (e.g. Popcorn, Ice Cream). Ain't Goin Nowhere would effectively prevent any of these from providing less than the maximum mult they've given since when this Joker was added to your run.
An important note though would be that these cards would still both perish and reset or decrease as normal, but would never provide that lower value, instead waiting for you to meet the conditions to increase it beyond your current maximum.
The second aspect of the Joker is that you cannot sell other jokers (as in, only this Joker can be sold while it's in play). This is functionally related to ratcheting down everything, and also a penalty to work around if you want to try and work with the potentially quite powerful effect. If you have fewer than the maximum amount of Jokers, you can buy more, but once bought, they are stuck there unless they either perish or are destroyed (e.g. Gros Michel, Ceremonial Dagger). You need to be mindful of anything you pick up, or you'll have to sell this card and change your strategy.
The best time to get this card would likely be once you have some established Jokers, and a rare conditional xMult card (e.g. Campfire) or an economy card like Bull or Bootstraps. Something that has synergy in a way where you can just massively inflate it and lock it in for the rest of the run. Verdant Leaf would destroy you though.

Welcome to Furry_irl!
This post will serve as a more detailed version of the sidebar rules for the community, and also as a place for community members to leave meta comments (e.g. discussion about rules to add, things to change, etc).
Rule details
0. Code of Conduct — Follow our instance rules.
The Pawb.social Code of Conduct and it's included CW Policy cover most of the basic stuff you'd expect regarding illegal content, bigotry, harassment, marking obvious pornographic material as NSFW and the like. Regardless, do read through it if you haven't already. In regards to the CW policy, here are some addendums for this community in particular:
Overt suicidal themes — Characters depicted as imminently or having already committed suicide must be CWd (on Lemmy this means marked as NSFW, and with text in the body such as 'suicide' such that users can filter it). More absurd Wile E. Coyote type slapstick like a falling grand piano or rocketing to the sun are fine as is, but if it features methods people typically use to actually end their lives, please be courteous.
General weed usage — CoC 5.1.4 mentions all schedule I and II drugs. I believe weed is still erroneously labeled as a schedule I substance in the US, despite having medicinal usage, and also being fully legal in many states. If your furry meme comic has a bong in frame, or your character has red eyes, I'm not coming after it if it's not CWd. This obviously doesn't extend to depictions of abuse / misuse.
1. Post formatting — All titles should be a single word, followed by _irl. An emoji may substitute the underscore.
If you're familiar with other irl communities, post formatting rules like this are likely second nature already. Pick any word (typically something vaguely related to the post) and you're golden. If you're not sure, just title it furry_irl. Capitalization doesn't matter.
2. Credit artists — If it’s not your art, include who made it in the title or the post body. Links are appreciated, except to X/Twitter.
Artists should be credited when you share their images. At a minimum, include an artist's username when rummaging about your phone to dump your furry memes. This can be in the title (e.g. Furry_irl (by UserName)), in the post body, or both. Furthermore, direct links to where the artist is are greatly appreciated in the post body, unless it is to the Nazi owned platform Twitter / X. Do not link there, or to any website which scrapes its data (e.g. xcancel).
If you're posting your own art to Furry_irl, first off, thank you! Second off, please give some form of indication it's OC in the title or post body. Anything from just saying the word, to talking about drawing it or taking the photo. You could also put a link to where to find well, you, if you'd like!
I do not expect specific artist credits for captioned images sourced from large corporations, such as big TV shows, movies, or video games. This rule is to ensure indie artists are given their dues, and can be discovered by others easier.
3. Stay on topic — Images should contain or be related to furries. Images should be relatable or a meme. This isn’t the place for general art posts.
There isn't much to expand upon here, but here are some explicit examples of furry posts to avoid for this community:
4. Avoid AI images — Our fandom has countless artists, please share their (or your own) labors of love instead.
We have a vast artist pool, and that vast pool tends to absolutely hate anything to do with generative AI. Please be courteous to them and others by not posting such generations here. You should know explicitly who made the art before posting anyway, so this should be a fairly simple request.
I do not condone AI witch-hunt accusations. Don't be antagonistic in post comments. If there is definitive proof a sourced image is generated, include relevant link(s) in a report. I will not act on 'vibes'.
Some posts made before 2025/02/18 are likely breaking some of the new community specific rules. They will be considered grandfathered.
Posts that break the rules will be removed at moderator discretion. If you do not include artist credit, I may request you add it, and give you some time to modify the post first.
If you make a habit of me removing your posts, I will remove you from being able to post.
Meta discussion
Any questions, comments, critique, or suggestions regarding this community can be posted here and discussed openly.
I am trying to provide some sensible supplemental rules, and write down things people seemed to know already (such as the furry_irl post formatting style). If community members think something isn't a good fit, I want to hear about it so it can be evaluated. Overall, I feel the community has been decent about self regulating, and I'm not expecting the supplemental rules to change much, besides a request for who made some art here and there.
I am also adding some basic flair to the community (an icon and banner) so that it is no longer barren. Please consider these placeholders instead of anything I am particularly dead-set on keeping around. It's just some basic vector graphics I created in Krita. If you have ideas, or wish to submit art (it must be your own art), I highly encourage you to do so. If several people are interested, we could turn it into a community vote event, or make it some sort of collab!
Please share your voice, I want the community to have a proper say in how it looks and is run. Thank you!
PS: The post image is OC, I drew it specifically for this write-up.
I got an email on Tuesday from the FSF that today was I love free software day, so I decided to make some art in appreciation of a community responsible for creating and maintaining so many wonderful programs! Thank you dearly to KDE for all that you do. As an artist, I use Krita so often for all sorts of things, and I am so grateful it exists.
I could gush about a number of projects under your wing, but to keep this short, you empower people like me to have a freer digital world in so many ways. I appreciate you!
PS: I read the art guidelines, and license this as CC-BY-SA
I sketched this out like a week from the inaguration, but it took until today to finish it. I feel worse than when I made the sketch, but at least I got it done.
For people with filters: Politics Trump Elon
Sometimes dumb ideas don't leave until I draw them.
Can you believe it guys? Christmas, just a week away! Christmas is in a week! Woo-hoo! I am so happy about this information.
Can you believe it guys? Christmas, just a week away! Christmas is in a week! Woo-hoo! I am so happy about this information.
In light of recent events, this is my new headcanon.
Don't forget Mastodon! We're already here on Lemmy after all, may as well mention the properly federated alternative too.
Also want to piggy back because if this is a sona, do you (OP) have a clear idea of what you are or look like? The more time you spend figuring these things out, writing detailed stuff down, making crude sketches or perhaps editing bases, the more likely whoever it is that you speak with will be able to bring your idea and identity to life. Whatever mediums work best to help you visualize your sona, will also help the person drawing it. In this way, both of you have less headache making changes, or being dissatisfied with results.
