Wait what I get a home???? With a studio??? Do I need to apply somewhere???

[–] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago

Has someone who had music home-studios for the past 20 years, don't set your expectation too high. Most home studios are actually a closet with a 14 years old computer and interface in it, in a shitty appartement shared with 3 other weirdos.

It says “a home studio “, not necessarily “your” home.

You mean I'll be able to afford renting one? Or that someone will let me live in such a place for free??? Still pretty good hey

I think that first segment is like 5-18, the second segment is 18-98, and the last segment is the cafeteria with uncomfortable hard plastic seats during "arts and crafts hour" if you're lucky enough to make it to the old folks home.

They'd have been able to draw a better timeline if the seats were better, probably.

I don't really count as an artist, and I ... guess mid 30s counts as old?

But I am finally in a living situation where I am not harassed by mentally unstable, incompetent narcissists, who seemingly invent a new neurosis that is now also my problem every week.

I finally have solitude, and can interact with people on my own terms, at my own pace, and I've seriously never had better baseline mental health.

I am loving the shit out of being a recluse!

Wait until you get to your late 40s.

Wait until you get to your late 40s.

I don't plan to

I said the same thing once. Funny how things work out. 🤷‍♂️ 😔

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish I didn't get so god damn lonely, interacting with humans is such a chore.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Get a dog, they're way better to talk to than humans.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ouch. I feel that in my disappointment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I feel that in my old weirdo.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Hey everyone! Make sure you check out my Pixelfed account where I post weird ass shit that no one likes because I got burnt out & disappointed as a young artist!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

So that's weird old shit now? Now I don't know if I'm just old too (35). But I love that art!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

TF are you on about, these are dope. I like your style, particularly the character work examples.

...gonna shoot you a PM.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Good stuff! You’re obviously not to the disappointing stage yet.

Home studio before death? I really hope so

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I think that just means 1/2 of the walk in closet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

HOME ~~studio~~ before death??????

I REALLY hope so

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

OK... So when does the burnt out phase end??? Is it like a "build the studio and it'll happen" sort of thing? I can't really judge that well, burn out and all...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

It's when you start a guitar pedal collection (and call it a studio) instead of playing the guitar.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

45-55 depending on how hard the burn out aged you, in conjunction with the aforementioned studio

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Bwoah that's not very confidence inspiring

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If the price for an actual home studio is being an old weirdo, I'll gladly pay that price

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

As a young weirdo, the transition to “old” isn’t that hard.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Note: home studio is a fancy way to say a tablet attached to your day job computer... likely in a studio apartment.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

painfully accurate

Not on the chart: after death: gained fame and their artwork becomes valuable.
