It's ya boi, Kay ORRRR for the ones who know, JoeRiteback. I changed online alias' as being called "Joe" at an online meetup inflicted a lot more mental damage than I expected. I also began identifying as NB around the same time (no correlation though, I think). ANYWAY;

I'm something of a creative when my time isn't being consumed by competitive gaming or schoolwork. I used to be a digital artist but have had to transition to traditional cause my tablet lowkenuinely died on me. Get excited for some poorly taken photos of drawings soon!! If Im feelin real spicy I might scan em in, as a treat. Otherwise I have great interest in streaming political news/sometimes gaming (Hasan watcher here!), Anime/Manga (I'm more of a manga guy tho) aaand Vidya (Deadlock, GuiltyGear, MonHun).

Call Mr. Chronically Online cause that's where I be. I saw prime Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter and now Discord fall. Ironically my online presence is relatively light for the amount that I've used it. Some may find this admirable and some point I did. Now I value being able to appreciate ones history and I don't have much to  reflect on. Not to say I'm gonna become Mr Media Mogul, but having my slice of the internet would be nice. So I'm changing that this year so a fresh place like this where I can post without worrying about Big Tech is sooo appreciated. Plus it even has the added benefit of already having people I like on the platform!

Hope to shoot the shit with yall soon!

its good to have you here kay!!! i can't wait to see those trad drawings in the interim between drawing tablets (fingers crossed your able to find one!) I deff need 2 get back into manga again >.< ik theres a lot of cool stuff i haven't checked out yet.

tho i don't think you should see your lack of digital presence as something bad. i think its like, kind of neutral whether or not you actually HAVE an online presence. your history in whatever manifestation it has is inherently valuable. maybe if its the lack of tangibility that's bothering you you could try scrapbooking it(genuine) like idk give yourself something you can look back on! but i'm glad your taking steps to make your internet use more personally satisfying.
if you ever wanna go full in and like make a website 32bitcafe has a huge list or resources

but yea heres to forum friendship yAAAYYYY  :kirbart:

To be honest I'm not nearly  :comfmonk: as active on social media as I wish I was. Discord was the place I felt the most comfortable and home.

With the recent developments Im so happy to have a place to hide at if it ever truely goes kaboom.

Im all here for you sharing your art with us :) getting treated to the occasional scan if we are really good  :comfmonk:
