I had a little kobold cleric named Muk who thought if he was a good enough person he would evolve Pokemon style into a dragonborn

It's the minimum effort that translates to minimum time that translates to minimum cost for the business. Why hire another developer for a mobile app (or another platform) when you could just have the same web dev write it. Or without hiring another dev, why have the same dev need to build up tooling in another language when you can just reuse from the existing platform

That is a great way to look at it!

It's always hard to get through the mental block of comparing oneself to others (or your own art to another's), but I really really like how you said the process of discovering the beauty in anything. I need to internalize that and push away the perfectionism that says I could (should) do better. That doesn't matter, anything can be beautiful, and there's no good reason to discredit something just because you're still in the process of learning (or self improving)

Thank you, I'll definitely be stealing this way of explaining what I've been trying to put into words

Even though I agree that external validation shouldn't be relied on, and your own opinion of yourself is the most important, that's still really hard to do when you don't like how you look.

A different comic that connected to me a little more was this one:

Where just because I don't like the way I look, doesn't mean I'm ugly. Someone else may like just as I am, so the important thing for me is to be healthy and happy with myself, even if I don't like how I look

... I'm realizing I'm mostly just rewording what you said, but I wanted to share the comic in case it helps someone else see another perspective :D

Beets is one solution, and I also recommend taking a look at Musicbrainz Picard. It's a more graphical and user friendly way (though more manual) to identify, organize, tag, and sort music into a preferred format. It's what I use on all my Bandcamp purchases to clean up metadata and add things like lyrics before it automatically throws it into the right folder

You just bounced so high it took a little time to fall back down
