Got invited for a collab, but i dont want to work with them if they had used ai. I confronted them but they said its art from 2023 or 2021, but im not sure at all. Everything about it scream ai but i dont want to accuse them if i dont have a proof.

Hi! I'm 25 and I'm moving back in with my parents in two months. I just got back for a short weekend today and I'm having a crisis. My younger friend has a job, a friend my age is getting a promotion soon, my sister, who's a year older than me, has a job and is planning to move out with her boyfriend, my 19-year-old brother got a job and a girlfriend, and wants to go to university in a big city. I can barely make it to three lectures this semester, I can't bring myself to finish my thesis, I've never had a real job, and I don't have a driver's license. My mom cleaned my room while I was gone (again, I'm 25), I collect dolls, I enjoy crafts and art, I get along better with younger people, I sleep with the lights on, and I've never been in a relationship. I feel like I'm so far behind everyone else, but if I push myself, find a job, and move in on my own, I honestly don't know if I'll survive. I need to go back to my parents because I'm not ready to be an adult yet, but I feel ashamed and very disappointed in myself. They keep telling me its okay, but i dont feel okay

I had art block for YEARS, started doing more commissions thanks to vgen, and found my love for art again (artblock again, but that's because I was speedrunning one commission per day). But I feel like my art isn't going anywhere. I've changed art styles a few times, and I really like my current one, i let myself to be more lose with my rendering, but it's just boring (for me). Im trying out some background, full illustration so it wont me just emotionless person on white background (now its emotionless person on kinda okayish background). I love creating art, but the idea of ​​my art becoming something bigger keeps haunting me. I want to create something people would love. I've always dreamed of having my own game, but I can't code (I tried to learn, I think it's interesting, but I'm not a math person). I tried animating, I tried creating my own comics, I tried 3D sculpting, I tried making my game even. I quit everything I was doing. Big projects scare me, and even if I start, I constantly think it's not good enough, if I'm already doing it, I should do it better, I have to do something bigger, and then it's too much for my skills, and I quit again. My problem is that I'm the type of artist who enjoys spending hours on a single drawing (not too many, because I quit). I REALLY want to enjoy quick doodles, creating expressive characters, short comics, art with a story, but unfortunately, it just doesn't bring me joy. When i try to make something more expressive I feel like my art is stiff, I compare myself to the pros, and then I give up. I want to make my own webtoon, but I cringe at the thought of my own art. How can I go from being one rendered drawing a month type of artist to doodling, creating comics with my characters, and engaging people? Am I doomed to being a side artist, whose art is somewhat okayish, or is it possible to change my mindset and start enjoying short, quick doodles and all the fun stuff? I want people to be fangirling over my characters. I just need to do something about myself, because I'm a little disappointed. I love seeing other people's art, how bold their lines are, how lifelike their characters look. Is doing these stupid practices my only hope? How can I motivate myself and not give up in the middle because it's not enough.
Sorry if its all over the place, i ran it through translator

Helo! Im looking for game suggestions for me and my friend. We enjoy playing minecraft and sky cotl, but we kina got bored and we would like to find something new. I like building, decorating and adventuring and she likes adventuring, organising, dungeons or that kind of stuff. We are looking for something with a variety things to do for both of us. We are open for farm sims, survivals etc. Two main problems are the fact that we both are scared to talk on voice chat so we use in game chat and that we would prefer the game to be on the cheaper side (or often on discounts) since she doesnt work yet.
We are open for any other game even if it doesnt match the description and you think its fun for two players!

Hi! It might be very specific, but Im looking for games that have very little text (dialogues, descriptions) I want the story to be shown and discovered (even if its very subtle) by my own. I also enjoy games with subtle quests instead of "go to point A then go to point B etc".
Open would be nice but not required, i like exploration, building, any creativity and games that doesnt give you a certain task, but you can choose, explore, finish it later etc.
Games i like that might give a little bit more info of what im looking for: Sky Children of the light, Spiritfarer, Sons of the forest, The forest, Green Hell, Stray
Please, no farming sims or walking simulators.
I overall prefer to have freedom in the game, thats mostly what im looking for
