In case anyone looks here, I am the artist formerly known as Zero22xx. I want to retire this almost decade old handle now, so I’ll probably be trying different display names and vibes over the next couple of months.

  • Yep, that’s what I usually do as well. If I sleep for only an hour or two, then trying to wake up and get going for the world is going to be absolute hell. So I stick it out. Although there will be moments in the day that I regret that decision.

    Usually I’ll end up sleeping early that next day but every now and then, it’s like you’re almost so tired that there’s an integer overflow and you end up wide awake again. So sometimes after an all nighter, I’ll only actually end up going to sleep at like 3am the next night. Usually when I’ve got some stupid fkn pointless fixation going on, like working on a game guide or making lists of something to collect.


  • I saw someone else here mention that they came up with a short list of names, then got friends to rate them or vote on them and narrow it down from there. Might be an idea. Thinking about it, you can’t really blame people for not wanting to make that decision for someone else. Although it would make it easier lol.


  • I wish I could come up with another name. For some reason, it just feels weird and almost wrong to name myself. That isn’t judgement against people who have chosen their own names, it’s my own awful hangups and I wish I had the confidence to pick something for myself and own it. So I guess I need a group of friends that know me and can help me pick one.

    My real name is gendered af. And even before this awakening, I disliked it because everywhere I go, there’ll always be other people with the same name as me. It’s like my parents’ generation just had no fucking imagination or originality. And it’s people being named basic shit that leads to all of the Tragedeighs in the next generation as over compensation.


  • The difference is creativity. If a completely uncreative person and an actual artist both used AI to make something, I’m willing to put money down that the actual artist will produce something a lot more interesting and profound than the uncreative person.

    Especially when you get down to the kind of people that didn’t even realise which machine was being raged against and who have zero media literacy or reading comprehension. It doesn’t matter how good the AI is, the work they produce is still going to be bottom tier crap.
