I’ve been really impressed with how quickly Connect has shaped up after the whole influx of new users.

Most places that have HR like this work their employees too hard for them to have time to use a ping pong table anyway, so it’s really just a hollow gesture.

A bold move, cotton. Let’s see if it pays off.

Exactly. At first glance it can spit out some really impressive stuff, but turning that content into a coherent piece of artwork still takes imagination and skill.

I can’t draw very well, but I’ve gotten good at compositing and image manipulation over the years. SD is amazing, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t spend hours and hours piecing together an image to be the way I wanted it.

The terminology is sticking around longer than the format, too! Love me some (webm/H265) gifs.

Calling out the bulkiest NVME drive I’ve ever seen.

I don’t think I’m familiar with that, but I’d like to be.

It makes the X go faster, everyone knows that.

I feel like that will even itself out in time. With a huge influx of Redditors, comparing the services is going to be a hot topic for awhile. The communities need to settle and the people who will stay will stay. Over time, it’ll be less self-referential and more original content I think.

More like Whyoming.

Woot woot fellow Minnesotan!

It’s not a perfect clone, but it definitely eases the transition. I gave it a try and found it quite usable.

I use Krita almost exclusively, but gimp is a lot more usable with photogimp.

Yeah I’m waiting for Boost and Sync to become available, but I gotta say that Connect has shaped up real nice a lot faster than I would’ve expected. Who knows, I might end up sticking with it.

That first game was rough around the edges, but so so good.

At the moment, I’m guessing gif support depends on the individual client app, probably? On Connect it shows up as a link, which opens the gif rather than it being embedded.

Whatever the number, I’ve definitely noticed in the past few days that there are getting to be enough people having conversations and posting content for this place to feel like a legit community instead of a ghost town. I’m really glad to see more people joining and taking part.
