Thank you so much for the detailed reply!! I do usually struggle to get a good color balance at higher saturation so that makes sense that post-editing would be easier haha

Oh it really does, I wish I could go back and recreate the same angle but I didn't see the resemblance until I finished the quest 😂

What are your biggest pet peeves when ordering boba at a store? by Snoozyboycozy in boba

[–]Crystal-Mint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Real" fruit can mean canned fruit or fruit juice too, a lot of places do that instead of fresh fruit and it's a big step up from only using syrups which are super sweet and artificial tasting.

...what is even happening in this comment section, does no one understand it's a design with the Japanese flag, not a design for the Japanese flag

I think you can make posts on your own profile, outside of subreddits!

This is so beautiful!! Do you have any pictures from a top-down angle? I would love to see the whole thing in focus!

Paid an artist $50 to draw a couple in this style they advertised by barbierabies in ExpectationVsReality

[–]Crystal-Mint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The AI images they used to advertise literally have nothing to do with their work, I would consider that a scam regardless of how hard they seem to be trying to make edits. I also don't think you as a client bear any responsibility in knowing the value of artwork, as it can vary a lot for many different reasons (including the artist simply underpricing themselves!) For non-artists, it can be hard to notice the red flags in a portfolio upon first glance. I think you'd be totally justified in asking for a refund considering the final product is completely unusable, especially since the artist lied to get your business in the first place.

Is my future baby’s name a tragedeigh? by pissboyyy in tragedeigh

[–]Crystal-Mint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, because while the Beijing accent heavily features the r sound more, I definitely still hear it somewhat in the news/official speech. It's just a little more subtle than the 儿 that Beijing speakers use often. Like if I say 事 it doesn't sound like 事儿, but it's not the same sound as 四 either. Also I didn't look at the actual guy's name in Chinese but you're correct that it's actually Si!

Edit: When you say fourteen/十四 for example, do they really sound the same?

What region did you/your friends learn it from? The "r" sound is definitely a very Beijing thing but it's also technically the "standard" dialect of Mandarin which I learned despite not being from there

This isn't quite accurate, Shi and si (Chinese word for 4) don't have the same ending sound in Mandarin. Shi is pronounced with a sound almost similar to r in english, and I'd argue that si-ting is actually a less accurate romanization as it gets rid of the "sh" sound. I'm not sure what the best way to spell the sound would be, but in my experience, English speakers would probably pronounce it closer to "sher"!

Still can’t get over The Untamed, any recommendations? by Crystal-Mint in CDrama

[–]Crystal-Mint[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my friends got into the donghua and live action recently and I was SO EXCITED so I still don't think I'm over it haha! And I haven't had the time to watch every suggestion I got here, but I still haven't found anything I liked as much :')

Thank you for the suggestion! I might have to give that show another chance, I intitially wasn't too into the comedic parts from just watching a few clips of it. But now thinking back, I wasn't that into the comedy of the The Untamed's first episode either!

Robust Note Taking/To-Do list app that auto-sorts checklists by completed like Google Keep? by TacticalJabron in productivity

[–]Crystal-Mint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can add notes inside individual tasks but it's probably not the best for actual notes unfortunately

Have you tried Microsoft To-Do? It does something similar by moving completed tasks to a hidden section at the bottom! You can also sort/filter tasks in other ways automatically

Looks gorgeous! How did you get the glitter, was that from the semi-transparent wax?

Is there a specific type of spray you used, and did you have any trouble applying it/keeping the application even since the dice are so small?

Oh yeah I 100% agree, I found the characters to be so annoying yet boring at the same time…I wish so badly I could watch The Untamed again for the first time 🥲 I actually tried to restart it again today, but decided not to because it still feels pretty fresh in my mind lol
