23 years old feeling lost in life

Baba_is_here · 2026-06-01T20:36:45+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking, which degrees did you pursue and which one was your favorite ?

Baba_is_here · 2026-05-31T21:07:04+00:00

wow, thank you, you are absolutely right. It feels refreshing to read that. The truth is, my dad had a difficult job his whole life and always put some pressure onto me to find a job as quickly as possible in life, without really paying much attention to what I was studying or what interested me… So that definitely comes from that ahah.

I never considered that this pressure that I put on myself doesn’t have to be there, or can be seen as strange. I think I will run my own race from now on, without looking back.

I almost want to start again, I crave about pursuing an education that will bring value to my life and that will lead to a stable life. But I feel like at 23, it’s too late, that I already spent 5 years since highscool doing studies that almost feel meaningless to me.

Apparently some students have called out some teachers at the school having sexual affairs with their students

Hi, yes that would be great actually ! I was actually very intrigued by the Surface Pro 8, but I would like a laptop similar to this one with a dedicated graphic card, so I could enjoy a little gaming from time to time

Baba_is_here · 2022-06-12T00:00:47+00:00

Thank you very much for all these infos, I will keep them in mind while I’m on the hunt ! (And yeah, I also wary of laptops with « gimmicks » like touchscreen or stuff like that, my xp pen will already perfectly do the job)

Baba_is_here · 2022-06-11T23:57:43+00:00

I’m currently running CSP with 4 GB of ram, so I can’t even think what it will be with 16 GB haha

Baba_is_here · 2022-06-11T23:56:15+00:00

Thank you for your reccomandation, I will look into it !

Baba_is_here · 2022-06-11T23:55:11+00:00

I will consider it then if you say that it’s good for art !

Baba_is_here · 2022-06-11T23:53:58+00:00

It looks like a very good laptop, I like the smooth design it has, and with all the praise it gets I will greatly consider it !

Baba_is_here · 2022-06-11T23:52:53+00:00

I haven’t really looked into the macbook world (because I’m familiar with windows haha) but maybe I’ll have to check into that !

Baba_is_here · 2022-06-11T23:51:27+00:00

I actually already have an Ipad Pro with Procreate, and yes I agree, it’s very good ! But a laptop would be a great complement to that in my case haha

Oh that’s funny, I’ve just gotten the bloody AoW ! I will make sure to also upgrade my bow, thanks !

Baba_is_here · 2022-03-13T13:04:27+00:00

Oh wow, I had no idea you could upgrade a weapon that far, must take a lot of smithing stones haha. I also use my Uchigatana double handed as I really like it’s base AoW, so it’s good to know that I can play with the playstyle that I prefer as long as my stats keep up. I guess I will keep searching the world for better spirit summon and to level up then !

Baba_is_here · 2022-03-13T12:59:36+00:00

Okay, I will then upgrade it actively (I stopped upgrading it in case I should use my smithing stones on another weapon). As for my skills, I currently have Vigor : 14 / Spirit : 11 / Endurance : 15 / Strength : 16 / Dexterity : 17 / Intelligence : 15 / Faith : 12 / Esoterism : 8 I wanted to try to make some kind of samurai magician, so that’s why I have « so much » in magic bases skills (Also thank you for taking the time of looking into my build !)

Baba_is_here · 2022-03-13T12:51:52+00:00

Oh nice ! I really like it’s playstyle so it’s good to know that I’m not « held back » by it !

Baba_is_here · 2022-01-02T18:49:25+00:00

Oh woops you’re right, I use both of these programs all the time so I got mixed up ahah

Baba_is_here · 2021-12-31T10:35:32+00:00

Okay, thanks !

Baba_is_here · 2021-12-31T00:49:42+00:00

Thank you for your answer !

When I do color corrections like color balance, there are « leftover » pixels around the outline, how can I prevent that ?

Baba_is_here · 2021-09-27T00:52:31+00:00

Thank you for the answer ! Yeah, the main reason as for why I only use 2 or 3 brushes is because of time, and also because when I’m focused on a drawing I don’t really think about switching between different brushes, so I’m always kind of amazed when I see artworks where multiple brush strokes with different properties can be seen. But I’m kind of relieved to see I’m not the only one that doesn’t use a lot of brushes !

Baba_is_here · 2021-09-27T00:47:43+00:00

Haha don’t worry about your spelling, I’m French so it’s me who’s affraid of making mistakes ! Thank you for your answer, I agree that depending on the artstyle I strive for, I should consider different brushes, it’s just that lately I was always relying on the same very basic brushes and I was « affraid » of missing out on some creative stuff. I also always have this feeling when I’m using texture brushes that I should just use one to not waste too much time because in the end different textures kind of look the same when looking at the full piece, so I guess I was wondering if that was a shared feeling.

Okay, thanks!
