An inspiring, simple, yet powerful workflow, and I think it lead to a beautiful and interesting result! Lovely pixelart input as well.

I just started doodling with pixels myself about a week ago in the PixaPencil app, and your work here makes me want to try something along the same lines. I’ve also been thinking of outpainting from a 64x64 or such already, keeping the style consistent, just to see what would appear by expanding infinite worlds from my own small pixelart seeds. Have you tried something like that?

Don’t lay all your eggs in one basket!

Why not? Ideogram is brilliant at it!

I’ve clarified my answer.

This is, in some regards, similar to rape…

Edit: to clarify,

Another issue is that windows a predatory person will eventually force a reboot on rape you with pending updates upknocking. You can sometimes postpone it for a while, but eventually you’ll be in the middle of something and it they will just do it anyways.

Hopefully, we’ll agree that rape is much worse, but the underlying principle is the same: some entity abuses something you own - your body/property. Since you’re the owner, you exclusively should be in control.

Unfortunately, it can sometimes be necessary to leave an abusive partner/OS. This can be challenging if you “need” one but they’re all evil and dominating. M$ is not abusing its users as violently as some people are abusing their partners. However, their subtle abuse of their users takes place on a much bigger scale. Not only in this (pretty unimportant) regard, but also by e.g. unwanted telemetry/tracking. Luckily, non-abusive partners of the Linux family are becoming easier to find and date, and many are already flirting with one or more of them.

None, just motocross

I’ve recently heard of some people living near the coast, carrying on an old local tradition of simply growing potatoes in seaweed instead of soil, adding a natural salty taste to them.
