#also don't mind my crappy screenshots

[urlknight]

Hi there, Love your work! I'm also doing stuff in Unreal and it feels like it's rarer to find other indie devs using it. I love how clean all your UI feels, and UI is something I seem to really struggle with.

Do you have any recommendations for workflows / tips / sources etc for getting better at UI?

Also I'd love to know more about the material / shader workflow for your latest post if you have more information anywhere.

Thanks :)

Hello there! Thank you!! I hope you don't mind me answering publicly as I feel like some people might be interested in the answer!

I really appreciate your UI (User Interface for those not knowing the acronym) compliment as it's something I've spent a long time working on and specializing in, in my career as a software engineer. UI/UX often goes completely unacknowledged or taken for granted even though it takes a lot of time and hard work to create and develop. In the engineering world I frequently had to advocate for and explain user experiences to those who didn't have as deep of an appreciation for UI or a very sophisticated understanding of why a good, visually appealing user experience makes, or on the flip side, can break everything. I think it's a very challenging, overwhelming topic to grasp and communicate, but just by being interested in it you're already way ahead!

There's a lot going on with UI. From visuals to knowing common design elements to successfully conveying a story to the user to implementation to testing to designing for accessibility to animation and I probably didn't cover everything with that run-on sentence. There's frontend engineers out there whose role is solely to maintain and improve UI component libraries for companies. And that's without throwing games, whose UIs are all uniquely visually tailored to their experiences, into the mix... I could keep going on about this honestly, but I'll get to what I think you can do personally! 1. Learn about common design patterns. What's a toast? What's pagination? What's a card? Little things like that. These apply to all software UI/UX, including video games- and knowing these off the top of your head will make it so much easier for you to invent your own UI designs and patterns.

2. Study the UI in the everyday applications you interact with. Step through menus and think about how you got from point A to point B. Take a moment to think about the why someone put a button where they did. Study the UI in your favorite video games, too! Take a lot of notes on what you think works really well and what you think doesn't. And also there's online resources that are great for inspiration. I personally spend a lot of time on the Game UI Database. - https://dribbble.com/ - https://www.gameuidatabase.com/ 3. Don't be afraid to start with basic sketches or even just simply representing everything with grey boxes. All my UI starts out as really crappy sketches on paper, or tablet sketches on top of screenshots. Visualize your ideas and then keep iterating on them until you've got something. For example, I went from this:

To this. (And come to think of it I might actually still want to make those cooler looking buttons in my sketch) 4. Break everything out into pieces and individual components. A good UI is made up of building blocks that you can reuse all over the place. That's how it stays consistent and also saves you a lot of stress when you need to go in and update components. Instead of a million different looking UI pieces, you just have to update the one! These individual components will make up your very own UI Component Library, which will be the standardized design system and source of reusable components for your project. This also applies to your visual elements that don't do anything (like I personally have a whole mini library of diamond and star shapes that I reuse everywhere).

For reference, here's a breakdown I made of my Inventory UI. On the right, I've labeled most of the individual components, and you might be able to see how I'm reusing them over and over again in multiple places.

5. Spend some time listening to designers talk, maybe befriend some designers! Many of them have an unique, interesting view of the world and how we interact with it even beyond just software. Their perspectives will inform yours.

6. Test your UI on users whenever you can. Get feedback from others. This is the best way for you to see what works and what doesn't. As game devs we spend so much time with our games it's easy for us to lose sight of the full picture.

7. Be patient and don't give up. Continue to be open to expanding your knowledge. These UI skills take time to develop. I personally am still learning even after like 10 years of doing it. Coming up with the visual elements is very challenging for me and I spend a lot of time rearranging things in photoshop before I actually start coding anything at all in Unreal.

Whew, that was a lot, but I hope that gives you some thoughts and a place to start!

I don't have any posts out there about Blender/Unreal shader workflows right now, but I'll consider making another post sometime soonish. I appreciate you asking and you're welcome! :)

[sneezemonster15]

I'd give you an analysis, but frankly from what I've seen from your own "analysis" you're not very good at reading

also if you'd be so kind to tag this as mha spoilers, or screenshot this ask and put it under a read more so i dont spoil anyone who's interested in reading mha. it'd be greatly appreciated

(also thanks for getting rid of anon, this time i will include pics !)

anyway, this is the "straight dude who is having a typical cutesy high school het romance with a girl in a taken for granted het world." you're talking about;

also i wont lie, calling mha a het world when these are real dialogue is highkey stupid:

and i know the topic at hand is s/n/s and bk/dk but lets pivot to tg/chk bc theyre more relevant to what im saying

theres a lot to say but honestly, the manga speaks for itself :)

oh and also, you're right, bk/dk has no romantic subtext - it has romantic text. no subtlety needed! :) that is, if you have read the manga - my favourite example is this:

and then shgrk then proceeds to kill bkg, who "dies" (sort of) thinking about izuku in his final moments:

and then izk loses control when he sees bkg "dead" on the ground

and these are from recent chapters! imagine the rest of the series, ey

well! that got long. i'd tackle your crappy assessment of deku's character, but then I'd be here all day!

anyways, if i were you, I'd reread mha and really really understand the text you're reading. you might end up seeing something you missed at first!

Aiyyo someone got triggered! Hehehe. Ah it was inevitable that the moment I talked about MHA and rejected shippy head canons from the show, some delusional hardcore shipper would get all up in arms. Sigh.

You think what you wrote is analysis? Hehehe.

So just some random panels and chapter covers from the manga prove Bakugou or Deku is gay? Lol. I have seen fans like you in Naruto fandom as well. But you are right, I am not as invested in MHA, because it just doesn't have the versatility and genius of Naruto and Shippuden, it is actually quite a straightforward story and I don't need to burn a lot of my braincells to 'get it'. Lol. I am not saying it's bad, but as compared to its contemporary mangas, it just isn't at par for my tastes. It's good for entertainment but it doesn't affect me like other mangas that it takes inspiration from. Some silly shipper telling me I can't read, I would tell you my credentials but nah, too much work for disproving silly ass headcanons.

Fans make comparisons between Naruto and BNHA because Horikoshi is inspired by Kishimoto, definitely some similarities are there, but it misses on the most crucial point. Naruto and Shippuden are love stories. BNHA is simply your typical shounen manga. Naruto and Shippuden use the narrative tool of subversion to tell a love story in the restrictive genre of shounen. It has multiple layers and you need presence of mind to see them. Naruto is gay and you see comphet in his character, his interest in Sakura looks superficial from the beginning and then in kage arc, it is concluded as a mere cover to run from confronting his dilemma, and closetedness. His character is consistently shown as having an internal fight, a dilemma. Sasuke is just on your face, he is clearly shown as having no interest in women, but with Naruto he is especially intimate on his own accord. Ya know, using random panels ain't gonna help, you need to establish it in the narrative. Headcanons are all nice to entertain when that's all you watch media for, shipping. But please to be showing more maturity and media comprehension when sending me an ask, I am not very sympathetic to gaslighters whose heads are filled with shippy shit and cheap self gratification. When I talk Naruto, I make comparisons with other clearly gay media, and point out the common tropes, it's a result of expansive research. Not just random panels that prove nothing. Little one, you need more than that to prove your theories. I have watched a wide range of media, including gay media, your ask is just representative of your ignorance and lack of knowledge about how storytelling and character building works. Heh. Or do you think BNHA has its own concept of homosexuality, its own private language that cannot be compared with how other media establishes homosexuality in a given universe? Yeah, solipsistic ideas like that cannot be taken seriously.

Conformity is one of the pillars Japanese society is built upon, so it's not surprising that Japanese media talks upon how anything that doesn't conform to the norms is rejected. Their media is representative of their society. Mha also touches upon that and there's no surprises there, but again, you need more than that to prove it in the course of plot building and narrative. Some random out of context panel about some character saying something about conformity proves your point? You need to SHOW it and not just tell. But where other mangas, great mangas, popular and critically well acclaimed mangas have explored this idea in detail, MHA is just touch and go. It doesn't entertain a balanced proper discourse on it. It is truly shounen in that sense. Again, I am not saying it is bad, it is just more age appropriate. Which is totally fine. Do you know how heteronormativity is established in the narrative? Like this. Show me where this happens in MHA. Lol. Sweetheart, if the writer had made any attempt to write this world as heteronormative, where gay characters face challenges, I would have seen it. But mha is just not that deep. Sorry to burst your bubble. But that's just a fact.

Seriously, you are going to give me the example of Toga? I haven't gone through the recent chapters yet. I have only watched the anime. But it is clear that, that girl is medically insane. Her idea of liking someone is to kill that person and drink their blood, for her own pleasure. She ain't a homosexual, more like hemosexual. Hahaha. Again, you gotta show me the trajectory of her character, start with the base and show me how it escalates, how does she learn better about herself, her own feelings, the world from her perspective. No character is isolated, any writer who is talented enough to write multimillion franchise knows that. Don't project your assumptions on the story and the characters, work with what you have and draw the meaning from what's given, not the other way round.

There is no doubt Izuku and Bakugou have a strong relationship, even if it is mostly rivalry. But one can see that Bakugou cares about Deku and vice versa. Before telling me how to read, perhaps you should have done it yourself. Lol, I see this type of behaviour a lot from typical silly shippy shippers. "What, did you just say my ship makes no sense? 🤬"

Read.

Do you even know what subtext or text is? Hahah. This is text and subtext. So just because Bakugou and Deku talk about their rivalry in their vulnerable moments, that the audience knows as congruent since we have already seen they have a hot and cold relationship but that they are friends nonetheless, that proves they love each other romantically? You obviously don't know how romance tropes work. The dynamic between two men who respect and admire each other is always shown with a lot of empathy in Japanese media. It is one of the founding pillars of shounen, a genre meant for teenaged boys. They are certainly closer to each other than they are with women they are interested in, but a lot of fans such as yourself misinterpret it as romantic, because headcanon goggles. No, you gotta have more than that. Where Naruto and Shippuden have it in truckloads, none of that in BNHA. Deku is heterosexual af. If he is so interested in Bakugou, how come he reacts the way he reacts to Uraraka? Where is his conflict? Where is his dilemma? His affection and romantic interest in Uraraka is genuine and sincere, not a cover to hide his more private feelings. Unlike in Naruto's case. Kishi uses clever narrative tricks and tools to tell his love story in shounen and he does it skillfully. His motives and intentions are clear as water. He uses inventive smokescreens and red herrings to escape from being too controversial and colour inside the borders of shounen, nothing like that in BNHA. To begin with, Horikoshi doesn't even delve into the sexualities of his characters, because his story is not about that. There's no context, no set up, nothing. His worldbuilding is simply conventional, by which I mean heteronormative, there's no talk about sexual orientation of characters. You see the usual shounen perviness by Mineta and Kaminari and typical straight girls going kawaai over good looking boys like Todoroki, what impression does that give? If Horikoshi wanted to establish his characters being gay, he would have set up the context mindfully and carefully, like Kishi did. Gay relationships and characters can't be shown so explicitly in shounen as that would jeopardize its distribution in the west. Reason? Censorship. That's why Kishi had to be so careful, his target audience might not get it, but the adults do. Well, unbiased adults do, at the very least. So the boys in bnha are gay just because? Because you want them to be? Storytelling and character building doesn't work like that.

Seriously everything you think works as 'analysis' isn't even valid. I honestly didn't even want to respond to this ask, given it's so surface level and ridiculously simple minded. Perhaps you are a tween or teen who thinks every time two boys or girls smile at each other or rescue each other, they are gay and in love. Lol, watch gay media. Like actually watch it and see where your arguments stand in the scheme of things. I will tell you, nowhere. Juvenile kiddy stuff. I won't entertain anymore asks like these, they are a waste of my time.

11/100 days of getting my life back together

Saturday, July 13, 2024

each day is so different, man. today i woke up much later, at about 12:04. i slept in, i went to bed late, so i cant say i am too surprised with how late i woke up today. i can't be like "oh no, the consequences. the consequences of my own actions", when i struggled to go to sleep yesterday because it was boring to try to fall asleep.

but what's different today is the surprising feeling of hope. i was thinking back on the progress i've made and i think it made me feel good about myself. it's nice to have something to look back to, to see where you have come from and where you are now.

i did some yoga in the morning, + some stretches for my back. i was feeling really good about myself. i also thought of maybe meditating and other things about taking care of myself, but i got overwhelmed in which order i should do it, plus i also needed to make the breakfast, so i decided to take it one step at a time and convince myself that at least starting with stretches in the morning is a good improvement for now.

i am also really happy, because this is two days straight now, that we are having a normal breakfast, and not some cornflakes! i am hoping it is better for my body, you know, nutrients and energy-wise.

we also need to go shopping today, so there's that in the plans for today too. i feel really... light-hearted? knowing that at least i know the minimum amount of work i have to do per day, in order to be okay before the exam comes.

again, will be updating the post, as i do more work

14:18 - 15:20 finished DB7 15:51 - 16:26 finished DB8

i didn't study after that, but at least I fulfilled my 30 slides goal for the day, so it's more or less okay. when we went shopping, my boyfriend ended up buying me the eyeshadow palette I have been eyeing (pun not intended?) for a while, and I've been going back and forth between whether or not I want to get it. I was unsure, because it was really colorful and bright, and it's not normally the colours I go for in makeup. I was afraid I would be too scared to go out in public wearing this kind of makeup, but after trying it at home I don't think I've ever felt happier about makeup EVER.

please do not mind the crappy eyeliner on top, I was rushing to get something fun drawn on myself so it's not perfect. I really like the bright colours, I can't!

I think mostly what has been pushing this is the fact that I have been rewatching a lot of one of my favorite creators on YouTube, and they do a lot of fun and colourful makeup. I think that kind of ended up influencing me and made me feel a little bit more comfortable with trying stuff like that. and I'm really happy about it! they're not about makeup or anything, they are actually about dissociative identity disorder. I don't have it, but I find their content first of all interesting, and I think there are some things that I can learn from it anyway. the name of the channel is DissociaDID, if anyone is interested.

I've been unintentionally sharing some stuff from YouTube recently, I don't think it's going to be a regular thing dkdjkd I don't know why, but I just can't seem to shut up recently, when it comes to sharing something I like.

we also bought some vitamins and melatonin, which I'm hoping is going to help me sleep better. for now, despite this being not my best day, I would say I'm still quite happy with it.

I'll also now be adding forest screenshots, because I saw someone else do it and I think it's interesting! i wanna try the app again.

[ionalottabookmarks]

So I watched the first episode of Gotham Knights last night. And I'm not here to talk about the show as a whole - maybe later. I'm here for Duela.

(Sorry for crappy screenshots. My devices were not cooperating today.)

I was really, really hoping that, since Harvey's a major player, we'd go with the original origin of him being her dad. Right up until the moment he asked her "Are you really the Joker's daughter?", I was hoping. In vain, of course.

(Have I mentioned how much I hate that, after over 40 years, her lasting legacy is "Joker's Daughter"? It was a dumb gimmick to annoy her real dad! It didn't matter! It wasn't real!)

They seem to just be avoiding mentioning her last name, so no one will ask if there's a connection between Harvey Dent and Duela Dent.

From what we know so far, this Duela is really the Joker's daughter. Which I don't love. But she hates him. Which I do love!

(Also he's dead - love that. Batman killed him - don't think I love that, but if we get more details I might change my mind. Overall, a lot of mixed feelings around this situation.)

Duela is the daughter of the Joker and some woman who was also in Arkham. Duela was born there, and the Joker abandoned them when she was pretty young to get together with Harley Quinn. Duela grew up in Arkham. (Clearly the writers do not understand how this works - children born incarcerated will be put in foster care, not kept in the prison/psych ward.)

She's a great fighter. She's smart, and she thinks fast. She's a criminal, but not a killer. She did put a gun to a man's head, but that was life or death for her and three other kids, and we don't know if she would actually have pulled the trigger.

Overall, I like her. She's fun. She's cute. I think she has potential. Granted, I'm biased. I'm desperate for any Duela who isn't evil or wearing someone else's decaying face. We'll see how next week goes.

[penguindrumblr]

Extra! Extra! Extra! Been a bit, Penguindrumblr. Well, I think I already mentioned Utena at some point, besides Penguindrum being something I needed in my life, I'd also want to give some love towards Utena as well. u//u And by that, I mean showing my sorta crappy fanboyish inclusions I did for a game I played, Miitopia (2021), or the remastered game from the 3DS on Switch. But damn, people want absolutely crazy and detailed with how insanely great they managed to do with the customization...

Uh, yes, I know it slightly goes against Ikuni's deconstruction of both the Prince and Princess roles, but I couldn't help myself here. -//-'

And no, she slightly got her (pardon my french) ass handed to her by some slime monsters.

Also, just wanted to throw some shit on Akio and made him into a lard-ass here, and what's even funnier is that the one who made him as a Mii (the little chibi characters in the screenshots) just went with the bare minimal and purposely made him as insignificant as possible with how little detailed he is... what a pathetic little twat, he is! (do have some more, if you don't mind me sending this? ^^')

Hiiiii, yeah it's been a while 💛 I am always happy to hear from you though, so ofc you you can send more😚

Idk anything about miitopia, but utena introducing herself while lying on the ground made me chuckle 🤭

[sofiadragon]

OK, the poll has been up for a hot minute, but I'm scheduling this post for tomorrow!

Here are some words from one of the reddit discussions that inspired this poll. Before I open the floodgates on this: We all agree that being rude or a troll in the comments of a fanwork is bad, we're talking about constructive critique that asks why certain choices were made with a supportive tone and could open a respectful dialog with the author or other commenters. It isn't demanding or hostile.

Concrit is not: "You write OK, but I hate that one character and just her name triggers me, you shouldn't use her as a background character in one chapter out of 20 without tagging her. Change it to my other blorbo. Love the B plot romance and the mystery really wrinkled my brain."

This is also not criticism of the story content, but is constructive criticism of how the author used the website and counted in the discussions I've had before: "Hey great story, but I think you should tag [kink] just in case because that caught me off guard. I don't mind, I'm into it!"

Everybody cool? You in the back skimming shit, you got the gist? Cool. Let's go:

You can check out this comment in its natural habitat here, but the thread is locked:

This one felt right about the way things were and the way things are now, but I haven't voted yet so I don't know what all you lovely people are saying. I think the phenomenon of the shift comes from a couple places:

A plurality of young writers didn't have a strong idea of what concrit is when they started posting online (Blame standardized tests? The low quality of american schools staffed by underpaid teachers?) They get comments that eviscerate the fan work and then say "But, this is concrit! I said one nice thing at the beginning and end!" They can't articulate what the substantive difference is between this comment and the critique they got that was super helpful and kind to the troll they are talking to, and leave the conversation thinking that the troll comment was also legitimate concrit and that sometimes concrit is just mean and sometimes it isn't. AO3 hides comments until you leave one or click the rectangle, so other fans that might step in and help as part of a fan community don't see it happening, and the fandom spaces elsewhere have become segregated by age by accident since different social media have different age demographics.

Following from this: there are Olds on tictok, but not as many as on Tumblr or Facebook groups, and fandom spaces are very segregated these days along age and even political lines. On AO3 the culture has become "every man is an island" in a lot of ways. In the push to make sure the Archive is not treated like social media, anything social is rejected and discouraged by the louder users on related forums like reddit. Going to the source for this screenshot: this is absolutely an unwritten rule of AO3. The most common comments are just "Chapter Kudos!" Or a string of emoji these days, easily cut and paste with nothing mentioned about the fic. I remember most comments being just as simple, but not cut and paste: "[character] was a BAMF in this." This is the current culture I experience in fan communities. Critique, or even a comment that gives a specific opinion on any aspect of the story, of any kind is much more rare than when I was banging out a YuGiOh! Fic on LiveJournal.

The social media mindset. Even though AO3 and the surrounding community is loud and proud about the archive not being social media, new users will arrive pre-conditioned by it. Big "influencers" post a picture of themselves using a crappy sponsored product and get almost all praise, with anything even slightly critical deleted by moderators/staff. People mention an opinion on tiktok and any request for clarification, even if it isn't rude, is more likely to be dogpiled out that given an equally respectful responce. People just leave instead of starting a conversation when they enjoyed something but have a question that might sound negative or be taken wrong because they don't want the dogpile and don't want to feel like they are lying by leaving pure praise as a comment. When these people are told that anything that might be negative is morally wrong to say because the creators are just doing this for fun in spaces that are paid, it is absolutely going to effect the mindset in an unpaid space like fan works.

AO3 lets you turn comments off, turn on comment moderation, and put "Please no critique" or something similar in the end notes just above the comment box. While the culture around this has shifted and varies from one fandom to another, it could always shift again. Shouldn't people do what they can to make it clear where they stand when they choose to post their creation in a place where critique is not against the TOS or any official rule?

Please don't keep it positive in the replies to this one, folks. I'm just trying to wrinkle some brains. I'll be presenting a very different argument later on.

Hey fanfiction loving friend!

AO3 has the ability to turn off comments, moderate comments, restrict comments to logged in users only, or let anyone comment on your story. Most other fanfiction hosting websites do not allow comments to be turned off and in the case of some (wattpad) highly encourage comments even on individual paragraphs.

Over on reddit, someone said it is an unwritten rule of fanfiction that you should never leave a negative or critical comment on a story. This was countered most strongly by many arguments. Despite many people asserting that their stance was the one truth and that there was no debate on the topic - there was a lot of debate about what criticism even is and where the line should be for if giving concrit is alright.

So give this some thought:

If you have tea to spill, examples or an argument you want to make, please do. I have some that go both ways, but I'm going to wait for a few responses so I don't pre-empt the results. I'm not going to vote myself for a while, either, so I won't know which way the poll is leaning when I do pour my tea. I tried to cover all the flavors of debate I've seen in the many "definitive" posts I have read here and on reddit. Please reblog for a wider sample!

[riddlerosehearts]

baldur's gate 3 thoughts again except this time i made a mistake while trying to save the draft partway through and lost a bunch of random screenshots and things i wrote 😔 oh well. good news is that this post marks the end of act 1 for me!

the underdark is so cool. i really wish i had a better PC because even with my crappy specs this place is so gorgeous and fantastical while also being vaguely unsettling lol. definitely not regretting my decision to double back after finishing the mountain pass stuff. also, i feel like elenion would definitely enjoy getting to visit a myconid colony and see how they live and how their society works up close, so that could be an additional roleplay reason for me to be doing this.

...you know things are getting bad when at this point i really think elenion would be okay with trusting a literal mind flayer to help him because wtf else are we supposed to do LMAO. genuinely at this point it sounds less insane for the party to ingest dangerous mushrooms at the suggestion of a mind flayer than it would be to let volo give any of them eye surgery. we have to get these tadpoles out of our brains somehow, i guess.

omeluum is actually a fascinating character, though. an illithid who broke free and literally just wants to do good and live a peaceful life? i'm surprised that i wasn't spoiled on literally anything about him before i played. i hope that's not because he's a secret bad guy or something, because he seems really earnest and trustworthy right now.

LMAO GALE PLEASE. i'm so glad i brought him along to the arcane tower.

oh huh, interesting that the history check here was a bard-specific option! i'd always heard that the bard colleges in DND weren't neccessarily actual colleges and were more just representations of just different schools of thought and such, similar to wizard subclasses being called schools, but apparently larian wants our bards to have gone to college! sure, i guess i can work that into his backstory.

anyway, bernard makes me sad. the whole tower is incredibly ominous and makes me sad for lenore, who we don't even get to meet... like she literally programmed a robot to give her a hug and emotionally support her on command!! :( i wish that when we went back with the mushrooms we could tell omeluum and blurg that lenore was missing, because they act like they didn't even realize she wouldn't be there.

obsessed with the fact that this is a bard option for when omeluum wants payment for the ring. and that you get to make him so happy that he gives it to you for free awwww.

i love how sometimes, the bard specific dialogue options actually allow your character to be studious and knowledgable about poetry and folk tales and music, which i was not expecting considering the way bards are generally stereotyped--

and sometimes they allow you to be a snarky little shit ASFKJGDFHJ 😭😭

since i went mountain pass -> underdark and i've already found the adamantine forge and done everything else it seems like i can currently do in my journal, i... think i'm actually ready to move onto act 2? i will say that i forgot to talk to dammon for karlach before the tieflings left the grove so i really hope that won't be too big of a problem. but if i did miss anything in act 1 (and i'm sure i must have) or mess anything up, then i think that's fine with me because i'm planning on doing several replays of this game anyway lol.

i went up the elevator, ended the day, and immediately mizora shows up and starts barking orders. i passed a perception check to pick up on her being desperate and this possibly being a chance to negotiate wyll out of his pact, and now i'm really wondering what would've happened if i failed that check?? would i have missed out on this whole scene where we try to negotiate with her?? would i have lost the chance to do this??

ngl i'm not so sure elenion actually would do that because it's a little too goofy for such a serious situation, but i couldn't resist trying it. and then i went back and tried the history check instead and they actually result in more or less the same thing--you recite an incantation you remember from an old children's story and she laughs in your face. where's the option to punch mizora in the face smh >:(

and now we get another ominous visit from the dream guardian! also, astarion told elenion he wants to talk to raphael and they told him they want to know what he's planning, which he disapproved of and refused to do. astarion why are you literally so hard to get along with omg.

this seems like a good place to stop for now but i am so excited to be making it further through the story.

[otterpedia]

I think I'm gacha fatigued. I played quite a few games with gachas in them this year and after having my soul crushed repeatedly by my crappy pulls in DTW while my friends and my wife pulled characters I desperately wanted and gleefully showed them off to me (which is valid, and I'm genuinely excited for them too), I decided to reexamine why I was even playing some of these.

I want to begin by making it absolutely clear that I know gachas are gambling. I am aware of my gambling addiction, which I'm pretty sure is equal parts hereditary on my mother's side as well as a kind of mind game these activities trick your brain into. I have a lootbox problem and I am especially vulnerable to costume collecting.

I saved up tons and tons of gems or orbs or tickets or whatever for this game and that game, and because one game in particular had such powerful hooks in me, I didn't notice that my expectations for every other gacha were unrealistic.

I spent actual, real-world money that I needed for new clothes or a haircut or funds for going out and touching some fucking grass on the teeny tiny chance that I could get just one more character or costume or event prize for my digital harem simulator or whatever.

I like to collect things. (Hoarding is also a genetic failing on my mother's side, come to think of it.)

That's why these games are so dangerous in my opinion. I'm glad I don't like any other form of gambling games, and that cute anime girls were the motivation instead of the temporary thrill of winning.

Genshin Impact appealed to me because it felt like a "real" game that just so happened to have a gacha. The way the odds worked for the banners were also very F2P friendly, or so I told myself, with a guaranteed 4-star character or weapon every ten pulls.

The story was robust and the music was gorgeous. The fandom seemed pretty chill in my little corner of the internet, though I did hear the occasional rumblings of shipping drama. I read quite a few fanfics that were cute or funny or even spicy. It was a nice break from other games, or something interesting to do when Final Fantasy XIV had longer maintenance periods and I was anxiously waiting to log back in.

I truly love the world of the game still, even though I haven't played in probably at least a month and a half. I was super hyped for Sumeru, and I pulled my favorite character on my birthday last year.

That being said, I wrongfully assumed the new area in Genshin Impact would make me feel as before. The newest chapter of the main story dropped last week I think and I barely even noticed.

I felt nothing.

There were adorable cat people and steampunk elements and underwater exploration things and I. Felt. Nothing.

I decided that was enough of a reason to quit the game. If I'm not emotionally invested anymore, then why keep playing? I tried to quit before a couple times, but then I convinced myself that it had become a money sink, an investment.

That's not how games should make me feel.

Logging in started to feel like a chore. Grinding for ascension materials or talent scrolls or artifacts was tedious and boring. There were too many characters to keep track of, and they kept adding more and more stupid gimmicks. If I missed even one day of an event I wouldn't be able to finish it in time and receive rewards that would never come around again.

If I didn't log in, I told myself, I would get left behind by the friends I play co-op with. I would waste everyone's time because they would have to go back and redo stuff because I was lagging behind again because I play a lot of other games besides this one.

If I stop playing, I can't stay in the discord server we made for Genshin and I can't see all the funny memes and cool screenshots and drawings and fanfic recommendations.

Somehow I convinced myself that I had to keep playing this game that no longer held my interest or made me happy because if I didn't, then I'm letting my friends down.

This isn't the case, of course, but my brain likes to bully my heart a lot. I'm not letting anybody down. If anything, Genshin Impact has let me down. I have the power to uninstall the stupid thing and never touch it again. It's my damn computer, my phone, my life!

I like Genshin Impact still, but I don't play it anymore. If my friends are disappointed by that, that's okay. They're not disappointed in me, hell, they probably sympathize with my disappointment in the game because they are my friends, duh.

There's no reason to stress myself out over this. Which is why I needed to just write it out and be done with it.

So, there you have it.

I'm excited that my friends are excited, and that's good enough for me right now. If that changes in the future, then I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

And if my friends come across this post, I just want to say:

Thanks for playing with me, you guys! ❤️

OKAY SO for ages I've been trying to work out a name for my first cyberpunk oc because I could never settle on one and my second oc had a name immediately (his name is Valiant and he is a nomad just fyi heh). But for her I have been really back and forth but I've finallyyyyy come up with one!

So I've decided that her name is Vey or just V because they don't ever go by that name. So hear me out. They're a streetkid who grew up estranged from most of their family, but originay she was also considered the "runt" of like seven kids? So she -being the youngest and the smallest- was told by her mother that she was predestined to die young because "Vey, you'll never survive in these parts, you need to stop being so stubborn and maybe you'll live past 16 darling". So basically, they turned around, said " actually my name is V", and walked out that door at twelve never looking back. So she grew up and became queen of the fucking afterlife and the toughest mercenary out and yeah I just love her a lot.

Soon I might do a mini profile thing soon cause they're a badass. She also uses she/they pronouns just so yall know :]

Anyway mwah V you may be kind of a bastard but you're also a sweetheart deep down and I adore you

Hi how do you take such high quality screenshots? everything you post looks so crisp

Thanks!

Honestly there's a lotta things you could do to get crisper images, but it also depends when and where it is you're having trouble getting them to look their crispiest. However if your pics look fine in Photoshop, but look horrible once you've posted them, it's as simple as remembering to refer to tumblr's photo post dimensions. The pixel width doesn't matter a lot anymore, so you don't have to resize your pics down to an itty bitty 540, but the pixel height can't be too long, which is why I'll usually add a little extra width to my pics to make a long one seem "shorter", if that makes sense...

Now if your shots look crappy even in PS, a little sharpening will go a long way, I use the reduce noise option on pics, and the smart sharpen option on GIFS. When sharpening any image, don't do it until you've resized your image first.

Finally, the bigger your screenshots are, the better they will look overall, especially if you're doing a lot of editing and cropping. More pixels = more detail, at least to me, so you won't lose a lotta quality when a screenshot is cropped or sized down. When you're posting a long pic, keep this in mind, I usually screenshot mine in 2300 pixel width.

Now if you don't use a 2k or 4k monitor, you can use a plethora of programs to get bigger shots, DSR is what I use mainly, so if you've got a GPU that supports it, you can change your screen resolution in game to one higher than your monitor allows, if for a brief time, bc I wouldn't recommend playing your game like this.

There's also hotsampling programs out there, but I think a lotta simmers tend to prefer SRWE, which I'm personally not familiar with, so here's a tutorial on how to use it with The Sims 4.

HOT GIRL TIP:

Don't do anything your computer shouldn't be doing, if your GPU can't handle taking 4k pictures, just don't do it, it isn't worth it. The GPU market is dry as a desert rn, don't push the one you've got to the limit, and end up having to wait MONTHS to replace it, even taking screens at 2100 px will render perfectly decent shots, and honestly unless I'm taking long ones, I just keep mine at my native 1920 x 1080.

Concerning Art & Writing Requests

Hi. Althea here. I'm gonna try, keyword try to draw art requests. I will do it on either physical paper or digitally. I will also do writing requests as long as they are not NSFW. I like writing, and I like drawing, so I wanted to open up my "comissions" for it. No payment needed, because I don't know how that works and I'm not gonna ask for money.

Concerning Screenshots

I have finished screen recording all of Heroes Rising, and will upload the screenshots of Jiro from there before I do anything regarding Season 6. I might even do World Heroes Mission beforehand, considering it'll be a while for Season 6 to air all of Jiro's scenes. It all just depends on what the anime shows of her. However, I am intending on doing the other movies AND the OVA's as well. I don't know if the OVA's were shown here, I'd have to check.

Concerning... well, me.

I am not doing so well. Physically was always no, because *enter some crappy scoliosis joke here*. I know it's probably a TMI, but I feel like it should be known. I have depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I am attempting to manage them all, but it's hard sometimes. My grandma has a heart condition, and my mom has a tumor. I apologize for being so absent, and I have explained this before, but much less detailed. I am attempting to manage my personal life and my online life, and it can prove to be a bit of a challenge at times. My mom recently got some results back after her surgery, and from the sounds of it, they're not so good. My grandma is constantly bruising and getting hurt from the medication she's on that keeps her heart from blocking up the veins, and it's rather worrisome(?). I apologize for dumping all this out there, as it may seem like I'm just venting, but I did want to let you all know of my situation since I do tend to just up and vanish quite often. This ordeal with my family isn't recent, as it happened in summer of 2021, but it's still happening and it's still affecting me. I hope you all can understand my lack of appearances from these events, and I hope you can understand my situation if not respect it. I am trying my hardest, and depending, I may need to take a break if needed. Again, I apologize for dumping this all out there, but I feel that it needed to be said and acknowledged since so many people follow this account.

Now, don't feel hesitant!

Just because I ranted there for a second doesn't mean you have to hesitate with talking to me or requesting anything. I do not mind doing requests and talking. It helps me wind down and distracts me from reality. It's a stress reliever! I like doing things I enjoy. I like making people happy. So please do not hesitate to talk with me or request anything. I don't bite. The most I do is send memes. I appreciate the amount of support this account has gotten, from before I joined and to now. I hope to continue to keep delivering Jiro content! Oh, that's another thing.

Regarding my spelling.

I spell the character names a bit different from others, I guess? Some examples would be,

Katsuki Bakugo

Kyoka Jiro

Eijiro Kirishima

Ochaco Uraraka

Maybe it's because I'm American, who knows. Eh, I don't really think it matters all that much, but I thought it should also be known I spell it a lil differently than other peeps. Anyways, that's my rant/post. Thank you all for your time and I love every single one of you!

I just finished the outer worlds and i have opinions about the ending

Spoilers of course

first off, this game's climax is very weirdly set up. So the main plot of the game is that the possibly mad scientist guy revived the player character (i'ma call her Ruby) in order to hopefully revive the great minds who are currently in cryosleep or whatever to free the system from corporate owned hell. But people also tell Ruby that he's kind of crazy, and some people don't seem to trust him.

Ruby runs some errands for him and eventually he comes up with the plan to transport the ship full of sleepy colonists over, which everyone worries won't work. Well, it kinda just works but mad scientist (his name is Phineas) gets captured and put into the max security prison.

Multiple people tell Ruby that the easy part is getting into the prison, the hard part is getting out. Makes sense, it is a prison after all. but this is not what happens???

so Ruby goes into the prison and whether you like it or not, the factions who you helped throughout the game immediately start attacking the guards starting in the first area. Very sweet of them to help! But uh, I was kinda hoping to be stealthy since there are a lot of soldiers??

this just keeps happening and the factions show up to help me out while i'm wishing we didn't have to kill all these soldiers and could just sneak past. Ruby confronts the real leader of the board, in my case she's able to talk her down and get her to let Phineas go.

And of course, it's a prison break story. so now it's time to break out---

nope that's the end. the game cuts to random crappy screenshots of various characters as a narrator just kinda tells the player what happened afterwards.

I like this game but I get the distinct feeling that there's a lot of content that was planned and then cut.

The ìpega Controller for N-Switch

Have you ever wanted your Switch to be more like a Wii U gamepad? Probably not, but the idea of having a similar FEEL might be appealing. After my initial, new, used-for-less-than-a-month joycons developed drift after hardly even touching them, I was definitely on the lookout for an alternate solution. I got an official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller already, but what if I wanted more controllers? Well, I tried out the Hori D-Pad Left Joycon but the stick did not seem significantly different... which is good for matching them with standard joycons but bad for my peace of mind. I got a FaceOff wired pro controller by PDP (I may go into more depth on that in another post if you'd like) that functioned surprisingly well for a cheap, simple, slightly gimmicky controller. And then there was this.

Behold! A peculiar piece of plastic with their own control sticks! There's also a d-pad, no batteries required, no crazy settings needed, just plug it in and go, baby! It was relatively inexpensive (if not a tad more than I normally would risk) and though I had never heard of the brand ìpega before, I couldn't resist the temptation to try it and a least, if nothing else, have something to say about this strange product.

Of course, the pictures and wording definitely made me even more curious as they tickled me. The blurred imaged of Fortnite and Splatoon 2 along with calling it a controller for N-Switch definitely made me feel like they didn't want to get into legal trouble while advertising this.

Now this controller does have some nice features to it, don't get me wrong. The Switch fits into it nicely with rubber on the insides to grip it so firmly that you can shake it (lightly to moderately) when it's upside down and it won't fall out! I'm impressed. The design also uses that bottom bar and supporting back extensions of the plastic to help support the system weight more evenly without putting stresses on the side connections. The sticks feel nice with concave tops to keep your thumbs from slipping out. You get a D-pad. The handles are shaped to give you something substantial to grip onto unlike the flat joycons. And it uses no batteries of its own. It just runs on the system's battery at a very small drain since it has no fancy features to power.

Then again, not having fancy features isn't exactly the highest praise. To get this working you need to turn on wired pro controller communication. You have to hit buttons on the console to wake and unlock it before connecting it to the controller or else it won't do anything. There's no gyro, rumble, NFC reading... nothing. To make matters worse, it doesn't have the best feel. The curved mold of the plastic makes the D-pad directions and buttons closer to the inside shallower than those closer to the outside. The +, -, home, and screenshot buttons are far at the bottom and tiny. The sticks are a bit tall to be this high up on the controller. And of course, as is pictured above (very blurrily... sorry) they didn't even get the right labels on the triggers! Was it to avoid legal action? Did they jut have these parts laying around from cheap Sony controller projects? Or did the actually not know Nintendo uses ZL and ZR? Whatever the case, if you don't push those triggers inward squarely then they while stick and often not even register.

Ultimately, this controller replacement falls on its face for a few key reasons. It's not its lack of fancy features or crappy button feel. It's more than that. One major reason is because, well, let's face it, this DOES make it feel like you're playing a Wii U in off-TV play mode. But unlike the Wii U gamepad, there's no way to charge this while playing. There's no passthrough on the bottom so you have to take it out and stop using it if the battery is low. The second major flaw is that it's not at all potable despite only being usable in handheld mode. It's bulky, unprotected, and doesn't fold up in any way to save space in a bag, much less an optimistic pocket. And lastly, ironically, the left stick on this broke on me. For some reason it will now only move diagonally up and to the left or diagonally down and to the right. I guess I could just play D-pad only games but I might as well use something more convenient or with a better D-pad for that. In the end, this cheap piece of crap turned out to be... as expected... a cheap piece of crap.

[sapphicrpc]

it's also worse if you're writing a trans man & he's gay like the fetishism is next level and so pervasive that it's basically impossible to call out. like part of why i don't generally ship in groups anymore is because of the way that i ( a trans masc person ) would be asked really invasive questions about my character's body/genitals

like bad rp experiences can really shape what you're comfortable with and personally i really struggled/struggle with how to bring stuff like that up to admins because i've had admins say stuff like "well those are valid questions" "i don't think that is transphobic" or get mad at me for not interacting with everyone if i try to just back out of a ship

so if you any tips on how to approach/handle that kind of interaction, i wld love to hear them

sorry that i've sat on this for a while because i wanted to give a really thoughtful response.

first of all, if you're reading this and you're thinking that the admins are right and there's nothing wrong with those kinds of questions/actions... just think about whether you've ever asked a cis person about their genitals? would you approach a cis man and ask about the size of his dick? no. if you're a respectful person you wouldn't and therefore you should extend the exact same level of respect to trans people. go do some basic research and do better.

as for advice? my god... this is an awful situation if the admins are acting like that. you did everything i would say you should do. go to admins, etc.

honestly? my genuine advice on this exact situation? leave the group and protect your peace if you're really uncomfortable. take some screenshots and put a callout post in the tags and let the mob ruin the group for being assholes. trust me - they'll do the work for you.

however what i would do, because i don't mind a bit of a fight. i'd make it an in character problem. play your muse but anytime they're faced with a question like that have them fight the person about it, have them defend themselves in character. if there's social media in your group have them go on a twitter rant calling them out, if there's no social media post a starter where they rant about being faced with transphobia. when someone is being creepy/fetishising, call them out. have your character respond like "wow you're really creeping me out right now, would you treat a cis person like this?" i GUARRANTEE you they'd panic because they're not used to being called out.

don't rely on crappy admins, fight your own corner yourself. cause some fucking problems. out of character send links to people with reading materials about why this is wrong. send them to admins. send them to members. kick up a fucking FUSS. i'd made their lives bloody miserable until they kicked me out or changed their ways if it was me. and if they kicked me out for calling out transphobia (because that's what this is, lets be honest)

anyway... i know that my methods are not for everyone, but that's my advice as someone who has no issues with being a problem to problematic people. equally, i understand wanting a safe space online because a lot of us deal with these problems enough irl that we don't wanna deal with it online so... in which case there are groups out there that WILL give you a safe space. admins that WILL take your side on this. i don't know what platform you like to write on but i can recommend discord groups that'd protect your safe space (because i or a friend admin them and i'd go up to fucking bat for trans people any day of the week)

if anyone else has advice for this anon please respond with it

[acearohippo]

I just want to say, there is a reason why Fandom culture is so prevalent here and now. Most of us aren't able to create something new, like a bestseller or most watched show. We can't get our perspectives and vision out through this medium. It's hard making characters and bringing then to life. But in fandoms? Characters are premade and just waiting to be your canvas. Your favorite book, TV show, movie, hell even band or YouTube channel, and the group that has formed as fans around it are your access to sharing what's always been on your mind, in your heart, and a apart of your body. Anyone can be an artist, whether through traditional pen and paper, digital art, all the way to aesthetic board makers and modders and screenshot editors etc. Anyone can be an author, writing fanfics, creating Y/N povs, sharing memes, and creating headcannons etc. Anyone can create a piece of media that resonates with someone else, that shows just who you are as a person and makes a mark in a world where you would otherwise be nameless and unknown. Yes, fandom has its bad eggs but you know what? So does real life. You can't live in a world that everything is perfect and expect to not resonate with something that might've come from a bad egg. That is the issue with rose tinted glasses: they only tend to come off when people are met with the reality that there is no perfect utopia we live in and NOT just a metaphor for being blind to discrepancies. We need to stop giving up things of importance to us just because ONE person or a SELECT FEW of people that are connected with it are crappy people. This is why we are all so depressed, so anxious, so skeptical and so jaded. We are so quick to cut out the bad, so much that we will let it take the good with it. What ever happened to using the good to overshadow and drown out the bad? Whatever happened to making something positive out of a negative situation? Screw that author, may she be written off as a has been for the future. But her book series? That was something good. That was something great. GOOD THINGS DON'T JUST COME FROM GOOD PEOPLE. Someone on tumble posted a tweet or something about someone's father giving money to a homeless dude? When told that this man would just spend it on booze, the father replied something along the lines of "What he does with the money is a statement of his character. But what I've just done is a statement of mine." The actions of another are NOT reflective of your own morals. What someone chooses to do or say does NOT somehow rub off on you. Unless you find yourself turning into a jerk like them. If not? Fuck em. Read that book series you love. It's fucking great. Listen to that song you like. It's fucking great. Look at the pretty artstyle you've found. It's. Fucking. Great. Don't let assholes ruin what vibes with you, there is enough shit in this world already that you don't need them to add more on what makes you happy.

With all that being said, if it does come to it where you do feel like there is no way to ignore the product and the person who made it, then, by all means, cut it out of your life. If it causes you anxiety or stress etc, then absolutely take care of yourself and get out of there. But do it because of you, don't do it because of them. That still gives them power. That still gives them ammunition. Gives them strength and an ego. Because they know that you are so affected by them that you were called to action. Don't let them have that satisfaction. Don't let them have any more of you than they undeservedly got.

Sorry for the long post. Its all over the place, I'm tired, its 2am I'm sick and tired of people giving up their happiness for others that don't deserve even a fraction of their attention. Also, I forgot my original point so here it is: you make harry potter what you want. You probably already have and, guess what, That Terf has never. ever. touched your contributions to the fandom or to yourself with the series. Take solace that you have made it even better than it should've been by that note alone. It is just as much yours as it is hers and why should that bitch get to have custody over your connections too?

No more rose-tinted glasses

I know that I’m a little late to the party with this, but I’ve had to do some major thinking about how I wanted to convey this.

My heart was shattered when I realized that an author that had been a favorite of mine, was filled with so much hatred. Her books had been a comfort to me, a symbol of stability in times where my life was being turned upside down. An escape from reality and the hatred that came with it.

But now the rose-tinted glasses are gone, and I can see how much hatred was below the surface, even then. The antisemitism, the racism, the homophobia, the transphobia, the sexism were always there, not even hidden that well.

I wanted nothing to do with her when I realized how far her poisonous thoughts extended, heck, she almost ruined my favorite colors because I knew people would associate them with her house system. I felt like I had no place enjoying a fantasy world.

I am done with Harry Potter. I am done with that TERF author. I am not done with fantasy. Green is the color of the forest and silver is the color of a beautiful moon and stars at night. I will not let her take away who I am. I will not let her make me feel ashamed about who I am. She is the one that should be ashamed, because all the people that she harbors so much hatred for are pretty freakin great.
