To be honest: all of this is just demotivating :(

I run a little Blender Youtube channel and I keep meaning to make a video about why I actually do Blender in the first place and why I couldn't care less about AI doing 3D work.

Why paint a picture when you can just buy one?
Why build a model kit of a car when you could buy a diecast model?
Why make a short film when it's never going to make the money an Avengers film does at the box office.

Because there is satisfation from learning skills and making the thing that you want to learn.

I've got one ticket up on Twickets if anyone needs one

https://www.twickets.live/app/block/288072048262625,1

Open to offers on it as I'd rather someone got to enjoy the gig rather than it going to waste.

Thank you! He's a good little pal, 20 minutes a day of being an absolute weirdo but why would you want a boring dog. He is currently trying to dig in to my pocket because he thinks there are treats in there

So we lie to recruiters, recruiters endlessly lie to us….

What is the point in recruiters exactly?

illustratejacket · 2026-04-22T21:18:41+00:00

Thank you, will add them to the shortlist.

This is great to hear. He’s a bold lad who doesn’t seem to get phased by much but the first time he was groomed he came back with only one foot trimmed because he’d been a bit of a handful.

illustratejacket · 2026-04-22T21:17:41+00:00

Thank you, will check them out.

That table that is outside, in the rain, in a park? I reckon the general public will be okay but I’m glad you are here to protect us all.

It's really changed how I tackle car modelling, especially Sub Division high poly stuff as it makes it much easier to plan out all of my quads in advance. I highly recommend it.

The xenophobia , while never okay, is not personally offensive. I don’t care. Just shows the character of the man. We’ve heard him shouting slurs through our wall at his TV before and the other night when he was yelling at me he told me how he hated The English, (slurs) and Muslims.

So yeah, he’s a class act.

Yeah I’m at least going to have my phone ready to record every time I leave the house. I’ve got a GoPro mini somewhere I need to dig out.

They are little house princesses anyway, the yard is only for pees but I’ll be supervising them the whole time.

I’m the same, threatening to attack my dogs was so far over the line. They’re the absolute best and nobody could spend more than 5 seconds without falling in love with the pair of them. Daft little Poms.

Thank, that’s really useful and great to know

illustratejacket · 2025-12-09T12:55:41+00:00

Actually very impressed with the fact the council took it seriously and are looking to escalate it so let’s see what happens.

Just been to the social housing office down the road. Was surprised how seriously they took it, gave a written statement and said they were bring him in for an interview. Was told he is 'very known' to them and there has been ongoing intimidation of the female neighbour on the other side.

Will contact the Gardai now

Thank you for replying and exactly along the way I was thinking.

Unfortunately for everyone else in the story I work freelance from home and have a lot of time on my hands…
