Find a programmer and do an adult visual novel.

I tried inspecting files of a decent one, and just so you know the scale, it had a total of 3 000 pictures, most of them 30x30 pixels face variations or UI.

But that thing makes 3k per month, so if you split it with one programmer, it is a decent start

Commercial Art is very lucrative, but most commercial artists never went to university. They usually just started self teaching art ( there's ton of available material online ) and just practice, practice, practice, went to conventions, got their portfolios reviewed, applied whatever critique they received, etc. Funny enough, commercial art is insanely meritocratic AF.

I know a guy who is obvious intellectual. He studied art and said to me, that they told him IN FIRST CLASS that only 20 percent of graduates get a job in art...

Well. He didn't get a job in art. :kekw:

⚠️ Hi fediverse, I need advice ⚠️ 

I am 25, and I have been working for only an year.
I have noticed that a lot of people in company I am working at are spending a lot of time thinking about their "carier progression". It seems seriously almost inconsievable to me.
I came from a poor background, and I was always told, that job has to keep you alive and not to ruin my life. So, when I have an easy job that pays A TON, I have to wander, why do these people keep talking about "progression". I am learning more every single day, so the progression seems almost inevitable.

Am I missing something, or could this be caused simply by the fact, that I am in the engineering part of company, where merit is still more important then politics? Or is this just my libertarian meritocratic bias, and I am stupid for not thinking about "progression" constantly?

(immage as a bait so people don't skip this)

Some people risk their lives for God and Country

In Japan, Doraemon is God
And maybe Country

It’s Saturday, so you know what that means!

I am once again asking that you start your own instance. Just do it. Control your own data, make your own rules, and choose what you see. It’s fun. And as the Fediverse scales horizontally, we will each individually hold a larger stake in the network.

Again, if you are having any trouble, please (!) feel free to reach out to me. I will be more than happy to help you out with whatever problems you have.

Set it up on a server that is yours or will be yours

It's quite a good story actually. No, I did not have any good job before this one.

First time, I got rejected. I specifically asked why, and as a response, I got that I was too shy and incapable of proper communication.

So, I got a job at a local bookshop, where I could spend days talking to people from every social background.

And when I tried for the job again an year later, I got it without problems.

The chariama to prove your skill seems to be a rarity these days. And from my observations, the longer you are in school, the worse your charisma gets.

I wander if it has anything to do with the entire fucking world being shut down...
