God, I'm so sick of AI being in literally everything for no reason, I don't need AI to tell me to eat a small rock a day at the top of my Google screen. I don't want to see the uncanny valley CGI-looking AI art when I literally googled the word "cat". Nobody wants this, and yet it still happens, and like has the energy consumption of a small nation. And yet tech bros cream their pants for no reason, and wave around these hideous monstrosities they call "art" as a gotcha to actual artists, They think they're making the art world less exclusive? dont make me laugh. Art as a concept is not exclusive, anyone can pick up a pencil doodle anything (yes, even a stick figure, for those of you who use that as an example of why they can't make art), and make art. Art is meant to convey something, art is meant for humans to share. When someone makes art it should be an example of their creativity, to be able to make something that has never been seen before, to put in the time and the energy to share your interests, your ideas, to bring attention to something important. Art isn't meant to be typing words into a box and having a disgusting chimera of qualities stolen from other artists presented to you and you saying it's yours. So why the hell do I keep seeing those stupid drawings that all have the same airbrushed art style and background that you can never focus on because there is nothing in there to focus on? Why spend so much money, bandwidth, and resources to try and recreate something that a human could make, and make exactly how you wanted it? Sorry, this was all over the place, I just hate the fact that we have AI, something that could do so many cool things, like work on all the busy work and paperwork, maybe we could get it to do your taxes, and here we are using it to make anime women with as much personality as a cardboard pizza box.

My god do I want a suit of armor. Is that too much to ask for? Well, I'm not exactly asking for it, im working towrds it. The suit of armor I'm looking at is actually going to be bought as a bunch of seperate parts, but they'll come together in a beautiful set or German gothic armor. I honestly prefer german styles to italian because all the ridgest and whatnot look metal as fuck! I love the sallet helmet with the bevor, it looks more real than an armet helmet if you get my jist. What I'm trying to say is that the armet looks more regal and noble, which is a cool traditional knight look, but the sallet helmet looks more imposing for war. I'm planning on getting the individual armor parts from Irongate Armory and I've heard some good reviews for them, so I'm hopeful that they're legit. Overall with everything I've been looking at it costs around 1900 dollars, and I'm concerned because that sounds too cheap to be good. I'll do more deep diving soon into the buisness. Since it is 1900 dollars, I crunched the numbers and figured out I need to save 3 dollars a day, or 18 dollars a week to be able to buy it all in 2 years, and I currenly have 23 dollars in the fund. Baby steps. But once I have the armor I'd probably also try to get a sword to go with it, a nice cloak, and then head out to live the rest of my life at a renaissance fair somewhere, its the good life. I'll do more posts once I reach certain money milestones, so wish me luck
