trying to set up a printer for my parents, and truly i haven't experienced such uncontrollable rage in years. it's a printer. download our app. turn your location services on. use the app store. your computer can't open the app store? sorry no printer for you. you downloaded it on your phone? turn your precise location on. it's for your safety. you need an account. verify your account. it's not safe otherwise. connect your printer to this account. it's not connecting. sorry no printer for you. you can plug it in with a cord though, as a last resort. then you can print! well done! but no scanning. only scan if you have the app and an account and are connected. are you online? please verify your account. it's not safe without this.

so christopher nolan drilled into an active historical site to rig a scene, dumped a bunch of plastic skeletons into the ocean with no plan to fish them out, and ruined an actual Viking ship on loan from sweden and refuses to pay for damages. all for that garbage movie.

Both Xbox and Playstation have had their servers go down in the last 24 hours, making digital purchases unplayable while they're offline

and I think that's a great preview of what to expect if they make the full switch to solely digital games: you won't be able to play any of them if anything happens to the servers

if you dont decouple your drive to create from your desire for attention you will go insane. simple as. you will never feel satisfied b/c you will always want more and you will feel perpetually bitter that you did not get what you are “owed”

[sinsbymanka]

It’s an unpopular opinion but it is absolutely and completely true. I’ve never seen someone who creates for engagement happy with the engagement they get. I posit they can’t ever be happy that way because it will NEVER be enough

[thevikingwoman]

I agree with OP and Manka so very much.

You have to rest in your own desire to create.

But, because I see statements like this turn into a sort of general notion of “it’s bad to want validation or attention or engagement”, and to me, that’s not what this means.

It’s perfectly valid to want people to like and engage with what you create. In a general sense, when you create anything, you do it to share with other human beings. Art, craft, food, anything you create is a way to connect with others through our shared humanity.

And wanting someone to like you fanart or read your fanfic is part of that.

the words used by OP is decouple, and this is important. Nothing wrong wanting engagement. But it cannot be tightly coupled with the drive to create.
