@moodybats: oh yeah definitely don't stretch yourself too thin

if you do get a patreon up and running you can have it as a goal; maybe once you get $50 a month you can put $25 of that aside for stickers. i've seen some patreons only offer stuff once a threshold is up.

i was doing the monthly sticker and then planning on selling the leftovers, profit margins on stickers can be really good (StickerApp's are $25ish for 50+ and if you sell them for $2 each you don't need to sell many) but i also had the extra $25 to drop each month. even at its peak my patreon only made $13 a month haha ;;

@moodybats: if you can spare $25, StickerApp.com makes quality stuff for fairly cheap. it's not top-tier quality but they often give me more than i order at no extra cost too.

i tried to do a monthly sticker but just couldn't keep up with it

@lilykin: i actually made one last night, finally got in but haven't looked around too much

and yeah working against the algorithm suuucks. i do really struggle with consistent art too so it's a nightmare in that regard

i also have a website and a paid domain and hosting ... i hoped it'd get me motivated but it's been two years now lmao (it's in my signature under the etc link for those curious but beware going to my twitter re: current events and stuff)

@Jolly: oh oops i mistook that as the CURRENT usage, sorry!

if this were happening to me i'd probably try a fresh reinstall of the mouse drivers, if that's something you're comfortable with. or updating them even?

No protesting in my town, but the city I lived in last year was attacked/looted really badly. Most people think that they came up from Chicago to do damage, because there was hardly even any protesting and it's a primarily black/hispanic city. :/ The protesters were trying to get them to stop from what I could hear.

@jolly: when your mouse issues start up, could you open the task manager to report the RAM/CPU usage then? seeing into the issue while it's happening could produce different results
omg yesss ice cream and brownies are unbeatable

It's not great as a gallery or anything like that but it's really good for sharing.

As for galleries I'm pretty lost on where to go these days. Tumblr is dead, Twitter is Not Great and at this point social media is going to cost me jobs in the future lol. I set up an ArtStation but oh my god this is so intimidating.

I usually hotlink to my twitter lol ... if that doesn't work, imgur is pretty good for general sharing and stuff.
