Well well. Guess You will be hearing from me just a bit more hahahah.

I guess I really did want to say that I'm very sad with the path that humanity is headed. This was supposed to be the age of information, yet society seems to be turning more and more ignorant.

ChatGPT and AI are making everything so much worse. Students, and people n general, are relying so much on robots that they're no longer learning basic skills. Misinformation is easier than ever to spread through shitty AI pics. And everyone's just kinda fine with that. They're being told by corporations to be fine with it.

The age of tolerance, too, yet social media is governed by vitriol. Just the other day I saw a tweet making fun of the death of one person's mother; it had amassed 100k+ likes. Just... where the fuck are we headed? Why have we come to this? How are we devolving into these heartless, rampaging monsters?

To quote Hayao Miyazaki "I fear we are nearing to the end of times. We humans are losing faith in ourselves." And if that's so, then so be it. In these times of turmoil and uncertainty it's more important than ever to keep the things that matter close to us. And it's why I'll be forever grateful that places such as Newgrounds still exist; one of the very last bastions of passion, creativity and community. There will never be a site like this one again, ever. And it fills me with hope that there's still a place in this rotten digital world where I can actually feel happy, and discover wonderful things and people much like I did when I was young.

So, thanks for being here. And thanks for reading up till this point, for anyone that did. That's all, back to work! Hope to at least be able to work on something for a certain collab I'll be part of soon.
