What's something regrettable you did to your body?
  • I struggled with depression a lot when I was growing up. And to deal with it, I ate my feelings, and gained a ton of weight. Even though I've lost most of the weight, (down from 350lbs to 200lbs) my body is never going to look good due to the stretch marks and loose skin.

  • Be honest, how are you right now?
  • Honestly, pretty shitty. Given the political climate of my home (US) is exacerbating the problems I already face between untreated ADHD, depression, and who knows what else, I've just been dissociating the days away.

  • Where do you draw the line, exactly? AI-generated art doesn't discriminate based on how wealthy the individual whose art it is copying is. Most artists aren't wealthy. Their work is being stolen just as readily as Miyazaki's. The fact that Miyazaki's not using his wealth to help others is completely irrelevant to the conversation.

  • How has technology made your favorite hobby worse instead of better?
  • Definitely better. I play tabletop RPGs (D&D, Pathfinder), and technology has allowed us to do all sorts of things that would be challenging in a physical medium. We can create detailed maps with lighting effects, sound effects, and triggers. A lot of the more tedious parts of the game such as initiative and health tracking get automated, and applying damage and healing is as easy as clicking a button while having a unit selected. And to top it all off, we're not restricted to playing with the people around us and physically getting together. You can sit at home in your PJs and just hop into a Discord call to play with your friends. I'm truly grateful for it because I was able to continue playing Tabletop RPGs with my sister when she moved 1300 miles away to live with her then boyfriend, now husband.
