Different colors than I usually use, obviously to invoke a feeling (plus this is from like 2003, all we had were yellow light bulbs).
His name was Artemis (but 10 year old me wrote it Artimus) and his death was very traumatic to me. I thought we didn't have any old photos of him, but I found one recently. I don't want to show my real face and the blog I had it on blurred my face anyways, so I decided I would do a tribute redraw. At least sketchy, like, with an obviously converted very 80s or earlier couch we had at the time.
I got the idea to do it last night as I slept, and I woke up at 2am and decided to just go at it until now at 6am so I guess in a way it's rushed, but I got the feeling I wanted out of it.
I think the problem is just the massive storage costs of holding lots of video. Youtube is king because anyone can upload whatever, at any amount, but instances of peertube have to monitor their usage closely.
I was uploading to one only for vtubers, and they said they had enough money for 6months or so without dono help, but one month someone attacked or something and just ended up consuming videos at a repeated and huge enough rate that they got a surprise bill that was just too high. They also near the end had to turn off better streaming encoding because it was bandwidth heavy.
