I'm so tired of supporting this site
I've been on DA for 11 years now - and maybe it's that amount of time that's been preventing me from really stepping away, or the fact that there really isn't a good art-focused alternative. But I think yesterday's update was the last straw. DeviantArt has been so out of touch with its community it would be funny, if it wasn't inconveniencing everyone every step of the way. With Eclipse, they took away a plethora of useful features, and instead of working on bringing them back, all they have been doing were half-baked projects like Chat (meant to replace notes for some reason but still broken as of now), Subscriptions (A feature that people either do not use because Patreon works better for them, or use and have alienated some of their watchers through because their watch feed is now filled with subscriber-only deviations, as DA has not introduced a way to hide those afaik), and now an AI generator with a set of data that appears to have been scraped from DA and other image sites

Another year closer to death
So yeah, another birthday... 32nd now. Another year closer to the finish. Where did the years go, eh? Seems like I was 20 just a while ago. But, at least it's a reason to get gifts and some attention, so not a bad thing in the end. Sadly, DA no longer reminds of people's birthdays so I didn't get hundreds of wishes as in previous years. Sadge. But I got some gifts. First, my parents got me a nice cricket-themed cake - as I play cricket in a Polish cricket club (WHCC). Yes, everything is cake - the ball and bat as well. Then @nayialovecat drew a pic for me She draws fanart of a game titled Bendy and the Ink Machine. I'm not familiar with it but it's some sort of horror survival game. Pretty fun pic ^^ A second picture was from @BezierBallad "Am I supposed to eat this"? featuring Dopple as well! Now when I think of it, changelings might not be fans of normal eating xD And last but not least, a physical gift from @jakubik25 who bought me a mug with my picture printed on
