fic recs of the month

This is just a collection of my fic recs for the month of march, have fun <3

The Lab

by @de-sire-blog (de_sire) on Ao3

“I don’t get it,” Sirius says truthfully. “Remus is such a nice person, why does everyone pretend like he’s some kind of wicked stepmother?”

James laughs joyfully and winks at Sirius. “Are we even talking about the same person?” He holds out his hand above his head. “Big guy, about this tall, curly hair? Temper like a sleeping dragon? Smart, but a bit full of himself? Can kill you with his eyes?”

Sirius raises his eyebrows and laughs as well. “No, I don’t think we are talking about the same person at all.”  

A love story about healing, new beginnings and growing up. Academia! Romance! Shared cigarettes, cute cats, lots of coffee and the most amorous business trip you have ever seen.

the hare and the hound

by @steelycunt (aeridi0nis) on Ao3

‘He’ll never have to do it again, Remus realises. He can just keep being good, if he just behaves, he’ll never have to do it again, never with the dark and the bleeding and the crying. He just can’t give them reason to be angry at him, and he won’t, he hasn’t. And his mum is right – the drink does make him feel a little better.’

or:

Remus is a terribly behaved five-year-old. He doesn’t really think so himself, but his parents lock him in the cellar every month, so he must be doing something to deserve it. Well, not anymore. He’s got a plan, see, sort of. He’ll never go downstairs again.

Dusk

by @theresthesnitch on Ao3

“That’s not fair.” Sirius was crying now, and Remus swiped his tears away with his thumb. “This isn’t fair. We haven’t had enough time. It’s not fair.” 

“I know, love.” Remus leaned in for a kiss, and wondered if it would be the last. “I have loved you for sixty-two years, and it’s nowhere near enough.” 

Or

Sirius loses his memories.

Lupine

by @wolfstarbuxks (BayleyWinchester) on Ao3

Lupine adjective lu·pine | \ ˈlü-ˌpīn \ Definition of lupine : WOLFISH

Teddy is Remus' everything in life. He'd do anything for his son - including going to the same zoo, twice a week for a year so that his son could see the wolves that he had fallen in love with.

And if that meant that Remus got to met a sexy zookeeper, who was he to complain?

CONSTANT VIGILANCE and COMMON SENSE

by darkbluedark on Ao3

In which Alastor not-yet-"Mad-Eye"-but-still-quite-Mad Moody does as Alastor "Just Mad" Moody does, and brings a sneakoscope to an Order meeting.

~The kind of fix-it that makes so much sense that the fact that it isn't canon should be considered a plot hole in itself~

A Brief History of Dragons

by @eyra on Ao3

It's lovely up here; all meadows dotted with wildflowers, wind-beaten tracks criss-crossing this way and that through the fields, weaving inland to the pinewoods. The sun's hot on his back as he passes ramshackle stone walls, long since crumbled to piles of ancient rubble and scree, and then the path winds downwards, still following the line of the coast until Sirius finds himself outside an old white cottage, tucked away behind the hill with a rose garden that faces out to the sea.

Sirius moves to Cornwall for the summer and meets a rude, beautiful boy who is writing a book that may or may not be about dragons.

The Phoenix Agency

by LupinsChocolatePraline on Ao3

Sirius Black is excited to start his first full-time job after Uni, but this life change doesn’t sit well with his boyfriend who is difficult to live with on a good day, abusive on all other days. Sirius is good at pretending that everything is alright, he can even convince himself, but sometimes he wishes things were different. The problem is – Fabian is all Sirius has. Or so they both think.

Remus Lupin is a senior copywriter at an advertising agency, currently single by choice, and very comfortable with his unchanging daily routine, his familiar colleagues and his company-issued ergonomic chair that’s been his for three years now. When his favourite graphic designer is replaced by a twitchy, fresh-out-of-university Sirius Black, his peaceful routine takes an unexpected hit.

Better in the Morning // Ch. 7

MASTERLIST

Here's a nice, happy, little fluffy birthday chapter. Take a break from all the sad shit. ;-;

word count: 988

CHAPTER WARNINGS: Language, social drinking, non-graphic sexy-time

In February, Richie got hold of an absolutely gorgeous acoustic-electric guitar for restoration. When we showed it to Jake, it was love at first sight. Unfortunately, we already had a buyer for it. Jake had been disappointed, but he shrugged it off, voicing that he was glad someone would take care of it. We got to work restoring it, but in March, the buyer backed out. Richie was more than willing to let me snag it for Jake and agreed to hang onto it until Jake’s birthday in April.

Earlier on in the week, they held a party for the twins. The turnout was pretty big, and everything went off without a hitch. I had a few smaller gifts for Jake, and even found a cute necklace for Josh. When their actual birthday rolled around, I enlisted Josh’s help with the main attraction.

Jake and I went to dinner in the evening, at a nice restaurant across town. While we were gone, I instructed Josh to pick up the guitar from Richie and drop it off at our shared house.

Jake was in good spirits that night; “To good drinks and even better company,” he toasted. He was having a hard time keeping his hands off me during the drive home and as we made our way inside the house. We didn’t even make it upstairs before we were tangled up in each other, a mixture of gasps and moans filling the air. Afterwards, we laid naked and sweaty on the couch, holding onto one another.

Jake nuzzled into my hair and planted a kiss on my head. “Thank you for tonight. I love you.”

“I love you, too. Birthday isn’t over yet though.”

“Oh? You got something else in mind?”

“Maybe. C’mon.” I urged him up and to follow me to the bedroom, neither one of us bothering to get dressed. Halfway up the stairs he smacked my ass, causing me to yelp in surprise and shoot him a glare.

“What?” he said defensively, grinning. “I liked the view.”

“Perv.” I playfully swatted at him and stepped to the side, letting him walk into the bedroom first. He stopped and cocked his head at the sight of the guitar case on the bed.

“What’s this?”

I shrugged. “Maybe you should open it and find out.”

He approached it hesitantly. With slow, calculated movements, as if he thought something might jump out and bite him, he unclipped the locks and opened the case. I had the biggest smile on my face when I heard the soft gasp escape his lips. I watched as he ran his fingers along the neck and the polished black mahogany. He felt along the strings and the fingerboard, eyeing the abalone styled phoenix design along the edge of one side. He gently picked it up out of its case to examine it fully, and noticed the little note I’d written, folded up and sitting at the bottom of the case. He gave me another questioning glance before grabbing the note and replacing the guitar. I moved to sit cross-legged at the head of the bed and threw the blanket over my legs while he read the note, a little smile staying plastered on his face.

“Kya, how’d you…?”

“Buyer dropped out last month, so she’s yours now.”

“It’s beautiful. I love it, I can’t believe…” He tucked the note into a little pocket on the inside of the case and shut the lid, moving it to a safe spot on the floor. Getting on his knees he crawled towards me on the bed, pulling me in for a deep kiss. “Thank you. I don’t know what I did to deserve you, but I must have done something right. You’re too good to me.”

“’Cause I love you, and you do deserve it. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me, ya know. And don’t argue with me.” I tapped him on the tip of his nose, which he crinkled up at me. We shared another kiss, this one significantly more heated, before we ended up under the covers together.

~

When I woke up, the room was still dark. Noticing the silence, I reached over to find Jake’s side of the bed empty. I squinted at the digital clock by the bed. 3:08 AM. I threw on some panties and whichever of Jake’s shirts I found first, before venturing out to find him.

The sound of a guitar reached my ears, and I followed it to his studio. He was laid back on the lounger, eyes closed, with nothing on but a pair of shorts, lightly strumming on his new guitar. I didn’t recognize the melody and wondered if it was something new he was working on.

He didn’t hear me come in, and it gave me an opportunity to just study him. He looked so peaceful, so in his element, like nothing else mattered. It was times like this that nothing could touch him, not even the demons in his head. When I watched him like this, my heart swelled with love, and I was confident I could stand there and watch him all night. He was my special, my midnight- he was my sunlight, my moonlight, the fire and the flood. I thought about his own words from earlier. I must have done something right to deserve him. I must have done something good in a previous life to get to call him mine in this one. Through all the ups and downs, I was never letting him go. Nothing compared to him, to the happiness I felt just being his. And I’d be his as long as he’d let me, as long as he was mine, too. He made me feel loved. He made me feel safe and wanted. And he made me feel like there was nothing that could come between us.

In that moment, we were untouchable.

Unveiling the Cultural Canvas: How Culture Shapes Vietnam Graphic Design Market

Introduction:

Vietnam, with its rich tapestry of culture, traditions, and history, serves as an abundant source of inspiration for graphic designers. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the profound impact of Vietnamese culture on graphic design, unveiling how traditions, folklore, culinary arts, and architectural marvels weave themselves into the vibrant designs that emerge from this dynamic nation.

According to the study by Next Move Strategy Consulting, the global Vietnam Graphic Design Market size is predicted to reach USD 1.84 billion with a CAGR of 5.0% by 2030.

Request for a sample, here: https://www.nextmsc.com/vietnam-graphic-design-market/request-sample

Vietnamese Folklore:

A Well of Inspiration Vietnam's folklore, steeped in centuries-old tales and legends, provides an endless well of inspiration for graphic designers. Stories of mythical creatures such as the dragon, phoenix, and turtle find their way into graphic designs, symbolizing strength, resilience, and prosperity. These motifs often adorn packaging, posters, and branding materials, infusing them with a sense of mystique and cultural significance.

For example, the image of the "Long Mạch" - a legendary dragon from Vietnamese mythology - might be stylized and incorporated into a company logo, symbolizing power and auspiciousness. Similarly, the graceful silhouette of the "Hồ" (Vietnamese phoenix) could inspire intricate patterns in textile designs or digital illustrations, evoking a sense of elegance and beauty.

In addition to mythical creatures, Vietnamese folklore is replete with tales of heroic figures, ancient battles, and timeless love stories, all of which provide rich material for graphic designers to draw upon. Whether it's the legendary Trưng Sisters who led a rebellion against Chinese domination or the tragic romance of the fairy couple, Chử Đồng Tử and Mỵ Nương, these narratives offer a wealth of themes and motifs that resonate with audiences of all ages.

Cuisine as a Design Palette Vietnamese cuisine, renowned for its bold flavors and vibrant colors, serves as a delightful palette for graphic designers. From the iconic "áo dài" (traditional Vietnamese dress) to the intricate patterns found in ceramic dishes, the culinary arts offer a treasure trove of visual inspiration.

Graphic designers often draw upon the rich hues of ingredients including turmeric, pandan leaves, and dragon fruit to create eye-catching color schemes for branding and packaging. Moreover, the artful presentation of dishes, such as the meticulous arrangement of herbs and garnishes in a bowl of "phở" (Vietnamese noodle soup), inspires designers to explore concepts of symmetry, balance, and harmony in their compositions.

Furthermore, the cultural significance of certain dishes adds layers of meaning to graphic designs. For instance, the "bánh chưng" (square glutinous rice cake) and "bánh dày" (round glutinous rice cake), traditionally eaten during the Lunar New Year (Tết), symbolize the earth and the sky respectively, representing the harmonious balance of yin and yang. Incorporating these motifs into design elements can evoke feelings of tradition, celebration, and cultural pride.

Architecture: Reflecting Heritage and Modernity Vietnam's architectural landscape is a testament to its diverse history and cultural heritage. From ancient temples and pagodas to French colonial villas and contemporary skyscrapers, the country’s environment offers a visual feast for graphic designers.

Traditional Vietnamese architecture, characterized by its emphasis on wooden structures, sloping roofs, and intricate carvings, inspires designers to incorporate elements of texture, symmetry, and symbolism into their work. For instance, the ornate patterns found in the façade of the "One Pillar Pagoda" in Hanoi might inspire a graphic designer to create intricate line art for a promotional poster or brochure.

Conversely, the sleek lines and futuristic aesthetic of modern Vietnamese architecture, as seen in landmarks such as the Bitexco Financial Tower in Ho Chi Minh City, provide a canvas for designers to explore concepts of innovation, progress, and urbanization. This juxtaposition of old and new, tradition and modernity, lends a dynamic energy to graphic designs in Vietnam, reflecting the country's evolving identity on the global stage.

Impact of Vietnamese History and Traditions on Graphic Design In addition to folklore, cuisine, and architecture, Vietnam's history and traditions play a significant role in shaping graphic design in the country. From ancient dynasties and colonial rule to wars and revolutions, the nation's tumultuous past has left an indelible mark on its visual culture.

For example, motifs from Vietnam's imperial era, such as the "longevity symbol" (bát tràng) or the "five blessings" (ngũ phúc), are often incorporated into graphic designs to evoke a sense of heritage and cultural continuity. Similarly, images of national heroes including Hồ Chí Minh or symbols of resistance and liberation, such as the hammer and sickle, serve as potent visual symbols in propaganda posters and political graphics.

Moreover, traditional crafts and artistic practices, such as lacquer painting, silk weaving, and woodblock printing, continue to inspire contemporary graphic designers in Vietnam. By reinterpreting these time-honored techniques through a modern lens, designers can create visually stunning and culturally resonant artworks that bridge the gap between the past and present.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Vietnamese Graphic Design Market While Vietnamese graphic designers draw inspiration from their rich cultural heritage, they also face a unique set of challenges and opportunities in the competitive global market. Limited access to resources, outdated infrastructure, and a lack of formal design education programs are among the hurdles that designers must navigate.

However, the rapid growth of Vietnam's economy, coupled with advancements in technology and connectivity, has created new opportunities for graphic designers to showcase their talents on a global stage. With the rise of e-commerce platforms, social media marketing, and digital publishing, designers have more avenues than ever before to reach international audiences and collaborate with clients from around the world.

Furthermore, initiatives such as design competitions, art festivals, and creative hubs are helping to foster a vibrant design community in Vietnam, providing support, mentorship, and networking opportunities for emerging talent. By harnessing the power of collaboration, innovation, and cultural exchange, Vietnamese graphic designers are poised to make their mark on the global design scene.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Vietnamese culture serves as a boundless source of inspiration for graphic designers, shaping the visual landscape of the nation with its rich tapestry of folklore, cuisine, architecture, history, and traditions. By drawing upon these cultural elements, designers can infuse their creations with depth, meaning, and a distinct sense of identity that resonates with audiences both at home and abroad.

As Vietnam continues to embrace its cultural heritage while forging ahead into the future, graphic design remains a powerful medium through which the essence of this vibrant nation is celebrated and shared with the world. By honoring the past, embracing the present, and envisioning the future, Vietnamese graphic designers are charting a bold course toward creative excellence and cultural relevance on the global stage.

Rumors Of Internal Riffs Between The #1 Registrar In The World GoDaddy And One Of The Most Versatile Tech Powerhouses In History Sutra Nexus. 20+ Year Partnership May Be At Risk

Sutra LA | March 7th 2024

Rumors are circulating that there are internal riffs between GoDaddy and its long time partner Sutra Nexus, a tech hybrid capable of everything from selling hosting and business services to private military contracts and "ethical" hacker recruiting.

Sutra Nexus was founded in Atlanta, GA in 1998 nearly 8 months before Google was launched in a garage. It launched with a diverse product and service line ranging from web, graphic, print design to selling business solutions like conferencing, forwarding numbers, and even computer hardware. But soon it was discovered that Sutra Nexus operated in the sole interest of black operations for its parent company Imperial Alliance Corporation for such things as ION Canons, hacker tools, Internet and personal Security, and was known for donating money to pro gun, pro conservative, and Hacktavist groups.

Sutra Nexus operated under other names such as Trebor Surge Technologies, LHC, Arc Phoenix Corporation, and FlashKore Systems; but the way Sutra Nexus has grown and expanded is one of the most un-orthodox road maps for a tech company. Its business strategy has been referred to as "Starfish Strategy" and "The Liquid Principle", and most commonly "The Ghost Machine".

In other words, fail proof and bullet proof with or without any connections or partnerships whatsoever. Also seeking to always keep the company private using psych marketing to constantly appear, disappear, and reappear while shuffling it's many subsidiaries around all-the-while forging new contracts, Technologies, and even whole agencies built up and practically given away to other companies and firms. The tradeoff is "tricking" larger tech companies to complete certain tech in ways that are too vague or "too close to being the wheel" to patent or own. Sutra Nexus would then offer the completed tech to smaller more gullible firms in exchange for the lions share of the profits.

This is but one method Sutra Nexus uses to make its money.

Also, when it comes to its direct clients and customers, most get treated like absolute royalty as long as they follow the plans and strategies of Sutra Nexus. Those who challenge or alter the set forth plan in any way, shape, or form, Sutra Nexus makes unprecedented responses almost no other firm or company in the same space makes....it attacks them. To date Sutra Nexus has never lost a case, chargeback, breach of contract, or broken partnership even after the company has been accused of unethical retaliation.

Despite these rumors and accusations, Sutra Nexus clients love the firm. Perhaps its because Sutra Nexus has been known to use the same tactics to defend itself to also defend and protect its clients. There is virtually no organization out there willing to go the lengths to protect small or large businesses alike than Sutra Nexus.

Some see this in the age of Big Tech censorship and constant agency fall outs as a much needed catalyst in such an age of constant market stress, inflation, and bad policy makers critically impacting businesses for fringe, unproven causes politicians are echoing just to grand stand for votes. It's the Age of Pipe Dreams.

Sutra Nexus first went into partnership with GoDaddy in 1999, a year after its launch, when founder Bob Parsons first took the company to the mainstream rivaling the establishment's Web.com and Network Solutions.

In 2010 Sutra Nexus dissolved their contract with its former hosting partner and inked a deal with GoDaddy under a special corporate account allowing Sutra Nexus to BETA test new products and services before officially launching to its customers. Sutra Nexus, founder Robert Chrisley loved the company so much he even went further by becoming a reseller to demonstrate how ground-breaking the program was and harshly defended GoDaddy against numerous troubled waters throughout the 2000s and the 2010s. It's even rumored he lead a botnet against GoDaddy watchdog site NoDaddy.com.

After GoDaddy went public on April 1st 2015, Chrisley's birthday, he bought several shares of stock and praised Parsons for the direction he had taken the company. But Chrisley began to notice a downward pattern in the company after Parsons finally left the company completely in 2018.

Since then there have been not-so-obvious falling dominos because of the way Sutra Nexus operated, but none-the-less the aftermath was very obvious. Per Sutra Nexus test labs and consulting, GoDaddy was advised to faze out its Fax Thru Email product in favor of a business phone number forwarding service similar to Grasshopper and eVoice. Later Chrisley advised their recently rebuilt flagship website Builder (at the time known as "Go Central") to include everything from Appointment System, built in store as a addable section, SEO friendly native blog, built-in SEO software, a CRM, built in email and email marketing, and an in-house POS/merchant solution as an alternative to PayPal, Square, and Stripe. Additionally a marketing dashboard that connects the website dashboard to social media channels to compete with Hootsuite as well as a graphic/image/social post designer to compete with Canva (despite the fact Sutra Nexus has been a partner of Canva since 2016).

Between 2018 and 2020 every single one of these features were implemented by GoDaddy as:

Smartline (now Connections) (after purchasing Freedomwire)

2. Websites + Marketing (rebranded Go Central)

3. GoDaddy Studio

4. GoDaddy Payments (after purchasing Poynt)

5. Microsoft 365 (after fazing out its Workspace product)

6. Every single internal change suggested.

Sutra Nexus never received credit or perks for the changes and didn't mind so as long as they were able to use them unfettered. But over the past 3 years, that has steadily changed.

New dashboard upgrades causes havoc platform-wide severely impacting Sutra Nexus operations and profits, particularly last year when the RCC on GoDaddy got a major overhaul.

The original deal was to remain with Wild West Domains and Starfield Technologies which GoDaddy didn't honor. Instead, gutting both companies after purchasing them and moving Admins over to GoDaddy.

Sutra Nexus is also renown for its stand against liberal and leftist ideology going as far as having the domain extensions .DEMOCRAT .LGBT, .XXX, and a few others completely removed from its Domain Registry giving all those who had registered the domains with Sutra Nexus less than 24 hours to transfer them out to another registrar or lose them. (This is in retaliation to GoDaddy doing the exact same thing with Christian-owned free speech advocate social media platform and Twitter alternative Gab.com).

This did not help ease tension between GoDaddy and Sutra Nexus but instead maintain a very tight balance after.

GoDaddy soon responded by introducing a subtle but blatant swipe as a feature for the month of June during Pride Month by having both its own website Builder product and all who carried the branded version of the Wild West Domains website Builder to display a glowing rainbow effect whenever a website Builder user published changes live. This reportedly angered Chrisley so much that he was rumored to have been part of the GoDaddy server attacks off and on until GoDaddy implemented the use of AWS Config in 2021, but Chrisley denies this completely and there is no evidence or any connection to the blackouts, server throttles that plagued GoDaddy through a variety of products since 2019.

However, the timing is very coincidental in many cases. In 2014, after repeated attempts to make a deal with Google to offer their premium email suite GSuite (now called Workspace) , GoDaddy sought after the Microsoft 365 product in order to save on in-house resources. Sutra Nexus rejected the idea entirely siting the security flaws on Microsoft's platform and the fact its own Robert Chrisley is a huge advocate against Bill Gates and Microsoft credited in calling out the Gates/Epstein connections long before it made mainstream news. Chrisley outright refused to carry any Microsoft products and threaten GoDaddy to either keep WWD Workspace intact and updated or find a different solution or he would break the partnership. In 2020 Chrisley also proclaimed the servers would eventually be hacked. GoDaddy ignored his warnings. But in November 2023 a Russian hacker group hacked Microsoft servers in November 2023 and was not discovered until January 2024. This is only the latest of a series of security breaches, most being swept under the rug and down the memory hole.

In 2022 GoDaddy offered a "M365 clone" ran on GoDaddy secure email servers as a private label product which Chrisley agreed to adopt to replace Workspace. This transitional period protected Sutra Nexus and all of its clients from the wave of breaches that were either attempted or unsuccessful during this period because despite the "clone" look of Microsoft, the servers were not Microsoft servers.

Another breach Chrisley predicted was in 2018 when Chrisley effective removed Wordpress, Wordpress Hosting, and Shared Hosting products from Sutra Nexus product line stating that WordPress was a huge security risk, janky, unreliable, and one of the most unstable useless excuses for using as a business presence since flash websites. The prediction turned out to be true.

Hackers first accessed the login credentials and SSL keys of 1.2 million GoDaddy Managed WordPress customers on September 6, 2021. The unauthorized third party used the vulnerability to access the email addresses and contact numbers of the customers. GoDaddy immediately blocked the third party from the system, began an investigation, and contacted law enforcement.

But the damage was already done and once again, Sutra Nexus clients did not suffer any windfall because of Chrisley's clever positioning of clients on the right products and services to protect them as invaluable assets. Despite Sutra Nexus ruthless attacks against anyone or anything that threatens it, it actually has a pretty great track record for fighting black hat hacking, moral causes, and client security while also advocating to keep a free and open internet.

It is a seemingly conflicting juxtaposition to some who may be dull to the whole industry, but supporters quickly point out that Sutra Nexus never goes after personal assets of anyone that it retaliates against as long as the offense has not done the same. And if Sutra Nexus has been breached in a monetary sense, then it immediately pursues the offender legally. At least that's what its spokeswoman Julie Nguyen stated when asked to comment on this article.

The latest rumor states that GoDaddy revoked its payment processor from Sutra Nexus over charge backs, but maybe being used as a loophole to move against Sutra Nexus without appearing to break any contracts or legal agreements. Sutra Nexus denies this, instead insisting that customers can buy any product on their storefront as of today with no problem. However, the rumor isn't referring to the processor used on Sutra Nexus Domain and Hosting store, but the GoDaddy Payments account that was being used to bill for agency services from Sutra Nexus.

Whether the rumors are true or not, the fact that Sutra Nexus has always emerged from any battle smoke as the David in the middle of Tech Goliaths could be a cautionary tale GoDaddy may be advised to take seriously and consider before pulling a "Gab.com" on a company and a successful entrepreneur who has zero old school problem of shooting back. In fact, based on the track record Sutra Nexus has had with GoDaddy over the years, Sutra Nexus has been treated more like a betrayed best friend. A best friend that hides its abilities and defense strengths from GoDaddy because it assumes GoDaddy is also a friend. Only time will tell. But underestimating Sutra Nexus or its owners or subsidiaries is a best a fool's errand.

In closing there is another rumor floating that Sutra Nexus has finally created the perfect in-house solution to completely house its business clients on its own without the need for GoDaddy, including hosting, domains, security, and even the ability to have its own resellers (just like it currently has now) and other tech it can fully control, keep up to date, entice loyal customers, and leave GoDaddy entirely. If there is anything to what has been mentioned here, that may very well be true. Because, Sutra Nexus is so good at keeping secrets, the information here may not have even been leaked or rumored unless Chrisley himself wanted to be.

The Grind/Side Hustle/TikTok/Celeb-lit vs Comics

Hi everyone I've just been reading these two articles, one via bluesky and one via Neill Cameron on twitter (you probably already know Neill's comics work, if not go and find it because he is really very very very good). It's interesting where artists and creative people are right now in terms of trying to make a living from their art. The Vox article, about the hugely pressured "Personal Brand/Constant TikTokker" phenomenon, talks mainly about music but a lot of visual artists are hitting the same walls, but concluding that this is just "a thing we need to do to get paid. Get hip to it, grandad!"

Neill Cameron's piece (paywalled but you get 1 free article per month) talks about Graphic Novels/kids comics being a new feeding ground for celebrity dilettante children's authors, as he refers to them - Celebrity-Author Apex Predator. And how actually kids comics made by people who have spent decades making comics are doing pretty well thanks to publications like The Phoenix. (Full disclosure, Neill Cameron is employed by The Phoenix).

I found both of these quite thought provoking and hope they're conversation starters . It's never a popular thing to ask out loud in a public space or on an in invite only server, but there is a big unspoken truth at comic cons and meetups around the country, we seldom talk about it because it would possibly, momentarily, break the magic spell of those Artistic Community Spaces if we acknowledged it, but I suspect many of us in the comics making sphere do not make all of our income from our art. My own distant hope is to one day have a fair chunk of income at least come from comics. Currently I make a decent living as a Product and Design Manager for a kids entertainment company, so there are time pressures in my life that reduce the time I can spend drawing.

But looking at these two articles I do wonder, how possible is it?

The propaganda war between the blues and the reds; Intel compared AMD processors to snake oil

Intel's controversial ad campaign compares AMD's Ryzen 7000 laptop processors to the deceptive tactics of snake oil salesmen.

Advertising

In the first of these facts, Intel states that AMD used an old processor architecture in its Ryzen 7000 series processors.

The chip that Team Blue used as an example is the Ryzen 7520U based on the 6nm Zen 2 architecture from 2019. This chip also uses RDNA 2 graphics architecture.

Although there is no doubt that AMD's new nomenclature for laptop processors is confusing, Intel's own naming method, in which chips with similar names use different architectures, is not so defensible. While Core processors are based on Raptor Lake architecture, Core Ultra processors use Meteor Lake architecture.

AMD divides its Ryzen 7000 processor series as follows; Note that the third number in the number of each series indicates the architecture used in that series:

Mendocino (Ryzen 7020 series) - everyday computing

Barcelo-R (Ryzen 7030 series) - lightweight mainstream computing

Rembrandt-R (Rysen 7035 series) - Lightweight premium computing

Phoenix Point (Ryzen 7040 series) - professional computing

Dragon Range (Ryzen 7045 series) - professional gaming and content creation

Below is how Intel's first generation Core (Ultra) processors are divided:

Raptor Lake Refresh (Core 120U)

Meteor Lake (Core Ultra 125U)

In continuation of the first fact, Intel compares the Ryzen 5 7520U processor from the Mendocino series of the competing company with its Core I5-1335U processor from the Raptor Lake series; Intel's announced statistics show that this model is 83% more efficient than the AMD competitor. The Mendocino series of processors are designed for low-end laptops with a price of less than US$500.

In the second truth, with a quote from the ArsTechnica website, which pointed out the role of the number 7 in misleading users about the architecture used in AMD processors, Intel says that the old AMD architecture is hidden behind the new name. The third truth also ties the future of education and learning to the way of naming the creations of the red team.

In the final and fourth point of fact, Intel compares its Zen 2 architecture-based Medocino processors and Zen 3-based Cezanne series to its twelfth-generation Alder Lake chips, stating that "not every core will give you the best performance." Also, Rembrant processors based on the Zen 3 Pus architecture and Phoenix based on Zen 4 are pitted against the company's 13th generation processors.

All the comparisons shown by Intel show the superiority of this company's processors over all AMD products; However, Intel's statistics are based on the overall Crossmark score, which cannot represent the performance of these processors in real scenarios.

In contrast, AMD's Zen 4 and Zen 4C hybrid chips use an ISA (instruction set); Therefore, Intel has a weak point in this field and their statements are a kind of self-inflicted flower.

On the other hand, Intel has not mentioned anything about pricing or performance, both of which affect the price of the laptop . Intel's new ad campaign is more reminiscent of Intel's real-world performance slides from 2020, which turned out to be full of misleading benchmarks to make AMD's desktop CPUs underperform their own products.

In the end, it must be accepted that regardless of any generalizations and advertising usages, the way processors are named by both AMD and Intel companies is not defined. However, AMD is using orange labels instead of the usual gray labels to help identify laptops that use processors based on the Zen 4 architecture

Intel Meteor Lake with XeSS Speed Up Dying Light 2!

A new demonstration of Intel’s Meteor Lake central processing units (CPUs) with Arc-integrated graphics running Dying Light 2 while making use of XeSS technology has been shown off by the company.

Intel XeSS Brings Huge Performance Improvements to Arc iGPUs, Which Will Be Featured on Upcoming Meteor Lake CPUs

The demonstration, which took place as part of Intel’s Tech Tour Malaysia, used a first-generation Core Ultra processor from Intel’s Meteor Lake family running the game Dying Light 2. In the demonstration, Intel used two identical systems that both ran at the same thermal design power (TDP), which was somewhere between 28 and 30 watts. Dying Light 2 is a triple-A game with some fairly good visuals. The benchmark was selected with the express purpose of demonstrating the graphics capabilities of Intel’s soon-to-be-released Arc Alchemist integrated graphics architecture, which is included within the Meteor Lake GPU tile.

The Intel Meteor Lake system on the left was running Dying Light 2 at a native resolution of 1080p, whilst the system on the right was running the XeSS Quality setting, which utilizes an internal resolution of 720p and upscales it to 1080p (with a scaling ratio of 1.5). Since Intel Arc has never been made available in anything except a discrete form factor before, this is the very first time that we have witnessed integrated versions of the company’s graphics processing units in operation.

Intel Meteor Lake with XeSS Speed

Alchemist architecture for Meteor Lake CPUs offers support for a variety of capabilities, including ray tracing and XeSS, just like the Arc discrete family does. This support is included in the architecture. The XeSS technology is a major and crucial component for integrated graphics since it may give significant performance gains and can help push over 60 frames per second in 1080p gaming scenarios with a suitable mix of settings. These benefits make it an important and necessary component.

This demo demonstrates just that, showing how the Intel Meteor Lake Arc integrated graphics can give up to a 2x gain in frames per second while using the same amount of energy. This is a XeSS Quality preset, so we may anticipate even greater performance utilizing the Balanced and Performance modes. The boost can occasionally fall to between 20 and 30 percent, but for the majority of the demo, it stays over 50 percent, which is a good trend.

The Phoenix APU is among the most potent processors available in terms of integrated graphics capability when compared to other CPUs. This is due to the fact that AMD’s RDNA 3 GPUs include support for FSR, which helps generate significant performance gains over the native resolution.

This will also play an important part in upcoming portable tablets and consoles, both of which will witness a significant increase in the use of CPUs based on the Meteor Lake architecture. At the moment, AMD is the uncontested monarch of this area; however, it was recently observed that some manufacturers have started embracing Intel’s Meteor Lake chips for their forthcoming handhelds. This might become a legitimate alternative and one that heats up the handheld industry.

Meteor Lake is Intel’s newest architecture, and it is intended to help the company maintain its leadership position while also competing with AMD APUs and NVIDIA’s entry-level discrete GPUs. Although Intel did not disclose the actual performance metrics, it is likely that we will become aware of them in the following months as we approach closer to the debut of Meteor Lake on December 14th.
