I’ve been really impressed with how quickly Connect has shaped up after the whole influx of new users.

Most places that have HR like this work their employees too hard for them to have time to use a ping pong table anyway, so it’s really just a hollow gesture.

A bold move, cotton. Let’s see if it pays off.

Yeah, I’ve been waiting to see Boost and Sync come out, and in the meantime Connect has matured way more quickly than I would have ever expected. I think it’s top of the heap of Lemmy apps now for me.

Exactly. At first glance it can spit out some really impressive stuff, but turning that content into a coherent piece of artwork still takes imagination and skill.

I can’t draw very well, but I’ve gotten good at compositing and image manipulation over the years. SD is amazing, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t spend hours and hours piecing together an image to be the way I wanted it.

The terminology is sticking around longer than the format, too! Love me some (webm/H265) gifs.

Calling out the bulkiest NVME drive I’ve ever seen.

I don’t think I’m familiar with that, but I’d like to be.

It makes the X go faster, everyone knows that.

I feel like that will even itself out in time. With a huge influx of Redditors, comparing the services is going to be a hot topic for awhile. The communities need to settle and the people who will stay will stay. Over time, it’ll be less self-referential and more original content I think.

More like Whyoming.

Woot woot fellow Minnesotan!

It’s not a perfect clone, but it definitely eases the transition. I gave it a try and found it quite usable.

I use Krita almost exclusively, but gimp is a lot more usable with photogimp.

Yeah I’m waiting for Boost and Sync to become available, but I gotta say that Connect has shaped up real nice a lot faster than I would’ve expected. Who knows, I might end up sticking with it.

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

A long time.

That first game was rough around the edges, but so so good.

The perfect reaction gif doesn’t exi-

He came and he went.

The whole Tome of Beasts series is pretty great, including the Creature Codex. Some of them are a bit too “out there” for me to use in my particular game, but I’d rather have that than another reskinned goblin.
