I'm not going to deactivate this account or pull down all my stuff from the site. Always hated when other people did that. If other people enjoy your work, don't take it away from them for gosh sakes!


But the 2020 redesign is going horribly for me and the way I used to use the site. I'm tired of fighting off-base algorithmic recommendation engines, and "engagement at all cost" site design mentalities. I hate being pigeonholed into content pits by machine-learning systems, and having no tools for adjusting my recommendations. Even on YouTube, I spend more time trying to prune my recommended videos than I do actually watching any. It's the same with dA now. Anything I manage to find here, I find despite the algorithm and not because of it. And I can't opt out of the algorithm, so I have no option but to opt out of using the site.

So I likely won't be posting any more art to the site for the foreseeable future. I'll still probably pop in to check messages and the like, and leave comments or add to my faves every once in a while.


But all active brony-related art will be posted to Derpibooru until further notice, and I'll probably be less frequent here than in years past.

Same name at the new place: https://derpibooru.org/profiles/ABronyAccount


Take care!

Zeta knocked my power grid out of commission for more than a day, and lesser storms followed in its wake. Not conducive to getting drawings done. Gonna be a little late doing the rest of the Inktobers.

2-week vacation IRL means I get to spend more time lounging around the Information Superhighway.
Theoretically, this also means I can spend more time drawing. We'll see how well theory agrees with observation by the end of it!

Quick update

Instead of sinking into radio silence, I just wanted to put this out.
We're starting a rough week at work and I'm going to be getting a minimum of 50 hours, plus whatever extra overtime is necessary. So far I'm already two hours over after the first day.
Long and short of it is probably not so many drawings until next week.

Good news: My Trixie/Starlight rocketshipping statuette is on its way, according to Entertainment Earth!

Bad news: I got home after 10:30 last night and didn't scribble anything for Day 4.
