Well, I dropped reddit because rif stopped working. Whether it was “for Lemmy” is kind of a “for now” thing. Something better comes along and I’m likely to migrate there (or use it in addition).

You need an artificer?!

You sound like a good dm.

Arguing with strangers on the internet.

Seriously though I’ve never been good at anything artistic. I’m a programmer by trade and occasional dabble in the odd personal project lately, and I have a lot of hobbies. I experiment with electronics, I’m an (really really) amateur blacksmith. I feel like those engage the parts of my brain art might, but I don’t feel like they’re any sort of self expression. They’re more academic pursuits, I do them to learn and learning itself is kinda the end goal.

To be honest I’m not sure I know what “expressing myself” in an artistic sense would be. I use words to convey my thoughts and emotions but I’m certainly no writer.
