is anyone here a talented artist who'd be interested in helping me make some art for the ui of the Minecraft launcher I'm working on? Right now, the UI looks pretty boring, and I think some color and custom artwork would make it much more appealing.

dm me if you're interested

I can work out a deal, something like a $20 Steam gift card if the artwork is good and there's enough of it to make the UI look more polished

i know it’s not much in lowkey just a broke dev

does someone have any advice on how i should act the first day of school and i’ve been dreaming of finding a girl kind of like me but i play bedwars on hypixel and that’s kinda rare but that’s besides the point. I wanna ask for advice on finding good and loyal friends, not a bunch of painful ones. i recently lost my best friend of 4 years to this guy that pulled him away from me (if u want the full story i made another post and maybe i can share it somehow) but yeah it hurt bad and in my next school i want to make good friends that i can relate and talk to…. im kind of bad at explaining things sorry

I introduced my best friend to someone new, helped them become friends, and now I’m the one being left out.

I’m a teenager and I’m moving to another country in like 2 weeks, but that’s not really what this is about.

Me and my best friend, I’ll call him Jaden, have been close for about 4 years. A few months ago I introduced him to this other guy, I’ll call him Mike. They barely knew each other before that. I’m literally the one who got them talking, I’d message each of them separately, tell Mike what games Jaden was into, tell Jaden what Mike was into, basically pushed them to start talking to each other. I built the whole bridge between them.

For a while it was actually really good, the three of us were in Discord calls almost every day.

Then one day Mike just started calling Jaden without me. Didn’t think much of it at first, but it kept happening more and more. Now I’ll tab out of whatever I’m doing and see they’ve been playing games together for hours while I’m just sitting there wondering if I should even bother asking to join.

When I do ask, I usually get ignored, or a “not right now,” or “later.” Later never actually happens.

The part that hurts the most honestly is Jaden’s response. Every time I ask if I did something wrong or why things changed, he just says “idk.” That’s it. No explanation, no real conversation, just idk.

I’ll be real, I haven’t handled this perfectly either. I got really anxious because I’m about to move, and I sent too many messages trying to figure out what was going on, which probably made me come across as clingy and pushed him away even more. I can admit that.

But I also don’t really know what I’m supposed to think when my best friend of 4 years suddenly starts spending most of his time with someone I introduced him to, and won’t tell me why.

I don’t even care about being close with Mike anymore at this point. I just miss my friendship with Jaden.

Has anyone been through something like this? From the outside, does it sound like I mainly pushed him away, or does it sound like he’s choosing to distance himself too? What would you do if you only had 2 weeks left before moving?

Best way I can describe it is I built the bridge that brought them together, and now I’m just standing in the river underneath it, watching them walk across while I’m left behind.
