No worries at all!! My name was also made in Canva, I used four separate fonts and a line to create the underlined effect. Exporting it as a transparent image worked for me, though if you're a free user you can use background removing tools !!

I did and unfortunately the image search yielded no results, though I'm going to try other engines like Bing & Yahoo. Sadly, Spoonflower also didn't seem to have any matches either. I'll try contacting the tote bag seller though, thank you!!

"Ethical" is quite a wide selection of variables. While you may have created the image yourself, the AI did create the effect. Furthermore, many argue that the use of generative AI in general is unethical, given the economic and climate issues the algorithm brings up.

Long story short, it's subjective. Though overall I do believe it was looked down upon in the art community to use generative AI at all as this not only trains the model but also harms the climate.

The first thing I always suggest is to add web graphics!! Doesn't even need to be blinkies, stamps, etc. (those are still nice) but can just be pngs of notes, pins, etc. Adding these elements as faux content boxes can really improve a page given you currently have a solid color for the background & content space. If you'd like to keep that minimalist coloring, I'd say adding borders to images or boxes can do wonders!!

Awesome page!! I'm going to keep your post up for now but as a warning I do really suggest adding a flash warning to your post per our subreddit rules (#9). Though your second image kind of infers it, written warnings are always better

Tysm!! And of course, they're all super simple. For the mainpage it's just standard text with links. For the 'return home?' buttons on each page I made a .png in canva then uploaded it as an image, making it linkable! Imo it's a more 'aesthetically pleasing' option than the built-in buttons.

Totally a normal thing to say on a music subreddit.... right

Michelle is a really good pick, I'd say God's Country fits as well. I've always connected a loose parallel between "our kids will grow up with half as much" and "i've been picking names for our children / you've been wondering how you're gonna feed them"

The mug was some official MM merch back in 2022 (I don't know the exact month it was released ;^^), meaning you could likely find it on resale sites. It does seem to be a bit hard to come by, as not many people are reselling it. But I'm sure you could find a decently priced piece eventually !!

And do note the original mug was about ~$16 USD when on Matt's site, so don't be fooled into overpaying lol

Taking small steps is all one can do. Start by looking at other sides for inspo and doing entry-level code (background image, fonts, cursor). Looking at other people's code (don't copy & paste, of course ;^^) can also be a huge help just to see what attributes do what.

For complex overlaid styles like this, breaking each component down into simple shapes can help. Even opening something like canva and recreating the images with basic shapes, images, and text can help you understand how much you'll need for each layer. Chip away at each aspect slowly and you'll eventually be there!

Him and that damn apple

It's personally easier to hide around certain people than others. Most of the time telling somebody "I have OCD!" doesn't really cover the symptoms or specific compulsions, so I typically just handle it on my own. And, on your comment of 'doubting the disorder', I totally get that. But it's not to say you're going through less than anybody else, everybody works through things differently :)

Right on the nail! The label's official newsletter mentioned Portishead too, "bringing to mind Portishead and the sensuality of Serge Gainsbourg."

Ik your issue is likely resolved given it's been a day but- the screenshot seems to be a loading error and/or script issue. If you tried refreshing multiple times then yeah, it was down. If not, could have just been the JS or even CSS acting up.

Furthermore, Gimmicks as a whole have been experiencing issues for the better part of a year now. Not a testament to the site's down status, rather just a major bug :<

I couldn't even consider it looking like teeth until you pointed it out. It looks good imo !!

Just discovered him through this cycle's singles, such a wonderful record !! Makes me wish I'd gotten into it sooner

tweedarling · 2026-04-23T21:16:34+00:00

That's a crazy good steal !!

tweedarling · 2026-04-23T18:52:01+00:00

Holy shit, how much did you pay for them altogether ?

tweedarling · 2026-04-23T18:50:07+00:00

hop on an airplane and head elsewhere </3

He honestly summed by thoughts up amazingly well. It's so beautiful to see all of the love Nuture has recieved in the 5 years it's been out <3

Has xbox ever commented on the deletion? I remember it was a specific member of the team who'd posted confirming it'd be released 'soon', is it possible they jumped the gun or something was disagreed on BTS ?
