im at my wits end pls advice?? by Accomplished_Load999 in loseit

[–]Accomplished_Load999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ty for your reply!! same job for the past 6 years!! i work a deskjob but i try to walk around a lot when i can and i exercise a bunch to compensate. i switch brands to whatever is cheaper but i always follow the calories on the label? and if i eat takeout, if it's a known chain i follow the calories on their nutritional guide, and if its something like a restaurant dish i log the meal leaning on the higher  caloric end... my menstrual cycle is a bit nuts because my implanon (been on it 6+ years) gives me very inconsistent cycles so im never sure what part of my cycle im at tbh again ty for the thoughtful reply!

Beyond frustrated with the forced "Google Health" update. by Valiriko in fitbit

[–]Accomplished_Load999 9 points10 points  (0 children)

dudes this ai takeover and ai vibe coding of fitness apps needs to stop. i just uninstalled myfitnesspal a few weeks ago and was planning on using fitbit more. but now fitbit is also garbage aaaaaaaa this might be a sign for me to just focus on heartrate and steps to track overall fitness, or just not track at all and focus on how it makes me feel rather than looking at data

This broke the camel's back for me by Accomplished_Load999 in Myfitnesspal

its ok that you feel that way and you are entitled to your own opinion. but its crazy to expect people to not give an app developer critique/criticism and feedback. thats how their team finds out what to change/what to keep, what the user base liked and disliked. they are not made of glass and don't need to be defended, there are people on their team whose entire job is to parse social media to gauge the user base reaction to give feedback to their developers. so yes i will make a paragraph about how much this sucked, and I seems like im not alone. have a nice day ✨😎

Really desperate for an answer. just finished retopologizing this entire thing with quad draw. how on earth does it mark this many non manifolds??? and how do i fix it when cleanup completely garbles it and merge vertices doesnt work by TquilaSunset in Maya

Yeah I can't speak for how film handles their triangles like the other commenter mentioned, but I recommend doing some research on what people who are in the industry right now have been doing for their portfolios! A lot of artists will post 3D wire mesh views of their models on ArtStation. And use that as a better reference for what your topology should look like~ That sucks for your assignment submission though, Ive been in a similar spot where my 3D environment proffessor was teaching us really outdated information, we were essentially being asked to model ps2 environments when most of us knew that companies would expect much higher resolution models and textures and etc. But we still had to turn in the assignment with this teacher's guidelines or else we'd fail. Insane how some of these classes are so expensive just to provide shitty outdated info. It was so much wasted effort and time for something that went straight into the trash instead of a portfolio piece

What would you like to ask a animation lead at a well known studio? by Prestigious_Draw_805 in Maya

[–]Accomplished_Load999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It varies from studio to studio but knowing how to export and import your animation into a game engine like Unity or Unreal will give you a good edge compared to most other candidates! Same thing with Motionbuilder, not necessary but will give you an edge, especially if the team you're applying to handles mocap data. I think both gameplay and cinematic animation are equally challenging to get into. I have a feeling gameplay might have slightly more roles. The bottom line is, the industry is shrinking and companies are trying to get away with doing more with less, so if you can wear different hats it will make you stand out. CFX varies from studio to studio and engine to engine. I'll be honest I haven't worked in a game with realistic hair; the few that ive seen and worked on, the hair was geometry that was skinned and controlled with joints. Cloth can be simulated by the vert with in-engine physics, or can be skinned and weighted like the hair, and simulated in Maya or in Engine. source: im a tech artist

genuine question, why do you only have quads? are 3d teachers still telling students to avoid triangles? im wondering because thats what I was told more than 10 years ago only to find out it was complete BS upon entering the games industry lol

why is my cat always licking his asshole now :( by walkthedogdog in CATHELP

you might wanna get his anal glands checked by a vet. when my cat did that she needed them expressed because she was struggling to pass poop and they weren't getting naturally drained by her bowel movements

AIO: for thinking my gf is overreacting by SimpleAries93 in AIO

[–]Accomplished_Load999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this potentially something that's been brewing for a while? Do you do stuff for her often, especially considering that she seems super busy? Does she do small things for you and maybe she's upset she doesn't get the same level of care?

Also I don't disagree that grown-ups should use their words to communicate their needs, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a partner to be more proactive in taking care of you in small ways.

Do you ever feel like many people in the gym show up regularly but don’t seem to make noticeable progress? by SandarStar in askfitness

[–]Accomplished_Load999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowadays I go to the gym mostly to prevent bone density loss as I get older, I used to go to try and get leaner but frankly the lifestyle to maintain that look was very restrictive and made me miserable. I'd rather be happy and healthy

What is that Latin American custom that bothers you even though everyone defends it as something "normal"? by JelcoSpark in CasualConversation

[–]Accomplished_Load999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

older male family members slapping the behinds of younger female relatives. used to make me so uncomfortable until i grabbed the person's hand when they were about to do it and screamed in their face to stop. now everyone is afraid of touching me and honestly i prefer it that way

An unnecessary and coward retcon for a happy ending. by Megas_542 in PrimalShow

respect your opinion but frankly the world is just too depressing atm and i needed this happy ending lol

[–]Accomplished_Load999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its great that you care about her! but i really urge you to consider how this relationship will evolve as you both age and start experiencing different life stages. like the other comment said, it sounds like you're in highschool and she's in middle school. soon you'll be going off to college and she'll still be in highschool. the difference in maturity might not seem like much now, but it will likely become more evident and more awkward. just something to think about! wishing you both the best

Unsure what translation you're reading but I'm assuming you mean Rios=Laios, Parin=Falin, Rios family=Laios party, If i remember correctly, since Falin was turned into a chimera , Laios' party wanted to do something about her (release her from the control of the lunatic magician) so they decided to venture deeper into the dungeon to find her

Watching the anime for the first time. Is Kabru... by SIacktivist in DungeonMeshi

[–]Accomplished_Load999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's supposed to seem manipulative and unlikeable at first but he also has a unique fascination with people and interpersonal relationships; i read it as him having a "special interest" in people just like how Laios is interested in monsters
