Making content? What’s that?

hey-hey all,

regarding some recently-deleted posts, please be mindful that the staff team is all for showing love and support for others. we want you guys to be there for one another, and recognize the value in having a community you can fall back on for reassurance through highs, but especially through lows.

but, we also need to be mindful of how we communicate our support for others. it's easy to fall into some bad habits that can, maybe counterintuitively, hurt more than they help. that's not to say that the term "suicide" is forbidden. i know it's a touchy subject, and the word itself kind of sticks to the roof of your mouth, but september is suicide prevention awareness month and it's good to be up front, and to use the proper term for this particular type of crisis scenario.

the problem (if you can call it that, but i don't think of it as a "problem" so much as a "misunderstanding") isn't that you guys are trying to help, or that your vocabulary is crass or offensive. please know that. i love that you guys help each other through rough patches.

our team is just worried for the possibility that users may feel pressure to act as crisis councilors, as opposed to as friends or those who would like to show support. this kind of pressure can have a negative effect on other peoples' mental health, especially in those individuals who do not have professional training in crisis counseling.

if you feel a fellow PMC user is in genuine crisis, that is, you believe they're in danger of harming themselves and/or others, please contact our team before you contact anyone else. report the comment/wallpost/forums post, or else make a private ticket and/or send a private message to our team. we regularly connect people with resources for help.

if you have any questions, please reach out to me or create a support ticket. Below are a couple of resources for those experiencing suicidal ideation or who are otherwise in crisis

Been busy as usual- but I also have some news to share! I'm currently working on a Youtube channel (along with little Dino's help!) mostly to try and support my family; we do pixel stuff for now, but I will be expanding to Blender and the game characters I'm finishing.

I'm not asking for subscriptions, and I don't want to make anyone feel like they should support me just because; but if you are curious and would like to pay me visit, please do! It'd mean a lot <3

And that's all! Dino's busy too- she made some cute pixel work of herself c:

Almost forgot the weekly ~ my reshade contest will finalise late on the 15th; the deadline is very near, but anyone is welcome to ask for extensions if they need!
And Dino just got a little friend, which I believe will be joining us for the next special <3



(she's trying to look cool)



Thank you all very much for 900! But this does not negate the special, it has yet to come c:

are you feeling down? yeah. happens. here, have a sandwich. i dunked it in a bucket of seafoam green paint for you. it increases morale

so like. whats the point of generative ai. what is it supposed to do, exactly. what practical purposes does it have

lets see, it can... write things faster than a person. not as good, though.

it can make images faster than a person. again, not as good though.

it can... uhh... make really annoying internet bots.

it can help companies cut corners by using ai instead of hiring designers, at the cost of... worse designs...

uh

am i missing anything

just wondering, cause like, non-generative ai is doing pretty cool things. like detecting tumors. quite literally fighting cancer

As August's sweltering sun sets and the September sun rises, I want to give a general PSA!
September is celebrating a lot of things! National Hispanic Heritage month from September 15th to October 15th, but we generally celebrate it for the whole of September!
September also celebrates National Library card sign up month, so get yourselves a library card, a nice drink, and plenty of festive books for the harvest season coming up!
Speaking of which, happy harvests to those who need/want/appreciate it! We appreciate you 🫶! Fall is coming! And I won't tell if you start setting up for Halloween already 😉
September is also National Suicide Prevention Month! There's a few good handfuls of resources if you or someone you love is struggling, please stay safe!
Self-care, self-improvement, and self-love! Harvest, National Hispanic Heritage Month, and prevention! Can't think of a better month to celebrate it all!
And for Pride days, keep an eye out for these days!
Sept 18th, HIV/AIDS awareness day!
Sept 23rd week, Bisexual awareness week, with the 23rd being Bisexual day!
Sept 27th, national gay men's HIV/AIDS awareness day!
Additionally, the last week of September celebrates Banned Books, so swing by a bookstore and purchase a good banned book to bundle up to and drink your pumpkin lattes to! International breast and ovarian cancer awareness week is also the last week of September! Go cancer patients and recoverees!
Over all, have a wonderful end of August and beginning of September! Feel free to add to this list in separate posts or in the comments! Stay safe, loves! 🫶
