hello, long time no see

great news- i finally got a NEW PC

the reason for this is because i was gifted a Kamvas 13 drawing tablet as a graduation gift, but it didn't work very well with the PC i've been using this whole time, kept locking up on me and crashing, so i had to search for a more powerful PC capable of running two screens at a time

this was a very long time coming, i kept trying to order a few i had my eyes on from Walmart, but the PCs never came, which was really frustrating, then i kept waiting for certain PCs to go down in price, and the ones i looked at kept going out of stock, until finally, i settled with this big tank from Amazon, the Panorama RTX 4060 TI Gaming PC Desktop

aside from having to upgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 10, (yes. upgrade.) it runs pretty good! all i have to do now is move all my stuff over to the other PC and it should be smooth sailing from there!

and now for the personal stuff (you can ignore if you really don't want to hear me yapping.)

since graduating, i've been trying to find a decent job to get into, that's at least close to my field of study, that pays better than my current job, and doesn't require anything higher than an associates degree.

90% of the creative jobs i've looked at are for companies nobody's ever heard of, AI animation jobs (ew.), or really good jobs that i would apply to if it weren't for the fact that it requires a BACHELOR'S DEGREE

so i kind of felt demotivated tbh, it's kinda taken a toll on me

asking for the creatives, do you have any tips on getting a job as a creative with only an Associates in Art degree? i would really appreciate it.

also,

I'M STARTING A KO-FI PAGE.

it's still a WIP at the moment, but now you can support me through Ko-Fi!

I plan on taking commissions through this, so definitely keep an eye out for those!

but anyways, yeah i apologize if i keep disappearing for several months, kinda bad at keeping up with my socials, that and trying to keep my motivation up with the whole job search thing. but if you're looking for somewhere i'm actually somewhat active on, check out my Bluesky! they've recently rolled out video support, so i've been putting out my shorter animations and stuff there. and that's about it, see you around!
