I'm afraid the comma is also unnecessary. The clause that begins with "where" is a dependent clause that ends a sentence.

The comma is necessary, just in the wrong place. What @eveuncovered was probably trying to say is:

I wasn't commenting on that sentence. But this one:
"I'm doing a series called One Shot Wonder, where I publish one image I think is good enough to stand on it's own."

Oh! Silly me. Well if that's a mistake, it's one that I myself would make. I read the comma as a pause between "Wonder" and "where," which just sounds better in my head.

That is how I use commas, I see no other way to use them.

But a semicolon would have been better there:
Here's a good rule: if the things you're pausing between could also be complete sentences on their own, you want a semicolon instead of a comma.
I'm just trying to annoy you now. ^_^

You can put a comma in front of a dependent clause ending a sentence for emphasis. The comma is not necessary, though.
In Finnish, one must use a comma before (or after as in English) a dependent clause. I've seen comma left out a lot of times in such cases in English sentences. My old English teacher in upper secondary school always said of commas: "When in doubt, leave it out."

Going too far, chill! I suck in grammar, both in Finnish and English.

You don't suck at grammar. You have a very good grasp of English grammar.
I have to tell you that I didn't know why the comma was unnecessary. It just felt out of place and I had to look up the grammatical rule.

I don't actually understand grammar, at all. I just use the words in a way that looks and feels right to me, there are rules behind all of it, but I don't know them, could never be bothered to learn, waste of my time. And of course I make typos all the time, that is a huge pet peeve of mine actually.

You follow grammar. It is not necessary to know grammar rules in order to follow them.
But if it really bothers you when you make grammatical mistakes then it can be assumed you want to get rid of them. Looking up a rule may help you avoid a mistake.
I took a Finnish punctuation test in Helsingin Sanomat once. Surprisingly difficult. English punctuation is messing with my Finnish punctuation.

Yes of course I sometimes look up something that bothers me, but mostly I just try until I get it to look right. And sometimes when I can't be bothered, I just put out something that gets the message across but is shitty English.

Would it feel unnatural to you to take up the habit of formulating your thoughts in English? You wouldn't have to speak to yourself like some village idiot (not that anybody would care if you were alone) but you'd gain the ability to respond quickly and naturally.
