By the way, I find alt texts really difficult to write. I'm sorry if anyone is disappointed by this.
That said, if you are better at it than me, you're more than welcome to write me an alt text for anything I made. I'll make a new post with alt text (and of course give you credit, if you want).

This is how easy it is to make a "placeholder" asset without using genAI. Here, I'll include my placeholder NPC sprite so you can use for free!
No need for costly LLM subscriptions, you're welcome!

We just discovered that this rocky wall tile kinda looks like a frog when put next to a mirrored tile...
It's not just me, right? Can you see the frog too?

The "load game" screen.
For some reason, the "init()" function in the save_data resource script is called 43 times when I open this menu. I have no idea why. Is it worth fixing? Maybe not. But it bugs me.

I took the train to see my sister. It was nice, but apparently fronting for the whole day is really tiring.

Does Krita let you save text presets? Or do I just have to set everything manually every time I create new text?

This could potentially be a problem for me in the long run if I'm using Krita. I have about 500GB free at the moment, which of course would take awhile to fill up with only .kra files... But it's not exactly negligible either
I just discovered Krita documents get absolutely massive what the heck?
Sure canvas size isn't small, but I think this is way too much?

Krita's fill tool is acting broken to me. It acts like it's opacity is lowered, but my opacity is set to 100% so I'm not sure what's going on here

When did "AI art" first start being a thing? I searched for images from prior to 2023, but I swear some of the results are AI.
Did all this start earlier than I remember?

I have to admit, the wooden jointed artist doll I bought is a bit more useful than I gave it credit for. It's not as poseable as I'd hoped (and I don't think my expectations were unrealistic).
But it is kinda nice for just quickly reminding myself of very basic perspective and anatomy stuff.

Really all I want is a way to put up a bunch of images on my screen, and save that arrangement of images so I can easily open it again.
The closest I have currently is to create a second krita document for said images and open in a separate window. But that's not really ideal

Even the stuff that people recommended four years ago is infested with AI now, so limiting the date range didn't really do much to help

Sorry for just venting my frustrations on here. I just turned on the computer wanting to make art, and instead I'm finding myself getting griefed by the AI bubble 😑

Apparently setting a custom date range for your search doesn't actually limit the results to things from within that range.
Because I assume the webpage titled "Best Open Source Linux Drawing Software 2026" is not from before 2023

Looking for some simple moodboard sort of thing for linux, so I can just... easily look at all the images and stuff that are relevant to what I'm currently working on.
And I just keep finding articles recommending me "AI-powered" this and that. I hate this timeline

Excuser me @duckduckgo.com, but is it really true that you don't let me set a custom date range when searching images? I just wanna look at stuff from before 2022
Do I really need to go back to Google in order to look for art references without getting served AI slop?
Please change this, thank you

The Krita text tool may be actually usable now, but I don't like this thing where it keeps crashing frequently. I would much rather it didn't do that

Trying to find out if Krita has an official stance on AI. I would imagine the people working on Krita are artists and therefore not fans of genAI, but I wanna make sure that I don't update Krita one day and find that it's gotten all slopified
