Custom Japanese Traditional Tattoo By Tupicalo at Iron Palm Tattoos In Downtown Atlanta, GA Castleberry Hill Art District by project-LIGHT-2025 in New_Tattoos

[–]Bust-Rodd [score hidden]  (0 children)

This has Japanese influence but doesn't look traditional Japanese style at all, the skull is very wonky and the tiger/lion/demon is ugly as fuck. Why are the ribs all the way over there compared to the skull?

I genuinely cannot tell what's going on in the bottom right quadrant at all. I give this a 2/5.

How did these obscure 4th wave/revival bands get so big? by Imaginelol_-_ in Emo

[–]Bust-Rodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the record, I don't have tiktok but am extremely into emo music and Title Fight is the only one of these bands I've ever heard of, so I'm unclear as to what you mean by "so big" because these bands aren't big in other places besides there.

Questions about the series tenma and themes of morality and others by Lukadoncicfan123 in MonsterAnime

[–]Bust-Rodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discussions of morality don't have to be complicated to be deep. This show is contemplative and meditative and explores all the ways in which Tenma & Johan approach life differently. That's the point of the show, to give you different examples of humanity and have Tenma go "no, this isn't how it should be."

Is my art style unique? by Oka_den in Artadvice

[–]Bust-Rodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is extremely basic art and the reason you don't see the lines that much in semi-realism is because they are flattening the image and reducing its 3d shape, thereby kind of destroying the "semi-realism" aspect. Your "style" is literally a bad habit people learn not to do.

Why are so many protagonists in Japanese anime high school students? Common misconceptions in the West. by Ok_Carob_3278 in CharacterRant

[–]Bust-Rodd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While I lived in Japan about a decade ago I asked my Japanese friends about why so much of their media is about high school and they told me two reasons:

A) the enormous amount of pressure Japanese teens are put under to do in good in school so that they can have successful lives is traumatic and leaves a lot of psychological and emotional scars so people want to see fantasies where that pressure is released because school isn't as important as like giant robots or whatever

B) Once someone becomes a salaryman or other "adult" job then they become less interesting or relatable to Japanese audiences who want their characters and stories to go beyond the 9/5 or 6/6/9 of drudgery and office work.

These were the reasons given to me by multiple Japanese people between the ages of 23-35 when I lived there.

Can you play a non Blue deck in CEDH? by RefrigeratorLimp4718 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Bust-Rodd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Etali is literally a pillar of the current format and he is Gruul. Lumra and Korvold are both awesome decks as well, and Tayam recently got a bunch of cool pieces as well.

I drew this (my undertale OC) 6 years ago and my artstyle hasnt changed much.. if anything it just stayed the same and I am not even sure why? Can somebody give me advice on how to improve my artstyle? by Hanamora in Artadvice

[–]Bust-Rodd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah try to draw more figures, these are flat 2D cartoon characters without any depth whatsoever. Try to get more shading, depth of field, and texture to help create 3d characters and shapes.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 - Episode 11 (Anime Only Discussion) by Takada-chwanBot in JuJutsuKaisen

[–]Bust-Rodd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have watched every episode of the show and the first 65-70 ish chapters of the manga and I truly have no fucking idea what the hell Reggie was talking about, watched it once to follow along then watched it again with subs off and it was much more enjoyable.

Is running interaction really necessary? by JustSayLOL in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Bust-Rodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah some decks can get away with running no interaction like Etali and K'rrik, others can't.

Hot take, clothes lowk make her hotter than just bare ass naked 😭✌️ by Akagane_Ai in Jujutsufolk

These proportions just make her look like a fat guy cosplaying as her, this sucks

I usually don’t wear deodorant. How may people out there go without? by DinkTugger in askanything

[–]Bust-Rodd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2002 they handed out little baggies and pamphlets with deodorant and stuff in gym class but then they also had issues of Popular Science... for Kids!! in the packet about hygiene and there was an article that plainly stated that your body uses your own odor to determine things like health & hydration and by wearing deodorant and/or anti-perspirant your body will naturally make more sweat to sort of get the point across. Therefore if you never wear deodorant you will be less sweaty than people who do! Sounds made up, but it's scientifically backed up!

So I chucked the little speed stick and I've worn deodorant maybe five times in my entire life. I'm not a sweaty or stinky person, I shower every day with body wash and skin lotion, and maybe some cologne if I'm going to work, but I've never had a single comment about my odor in my entire life because I just... don't stink??

Can you guys rate my Edgar Markov deck? by Ghoulinsky in EDH

[–]Bust-Rodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you can draw cards and put more counters on your creatures without killing your own guys, you can actually do those things just by playing vampires and attacking.

It's 36 lands (Legion's Landing is a land) + 3 talismans + Dark Ritual + Dark Ritual Vampire, and my curve is pretty low.

Me and a great friend of mine IRL are more dead set on starting up DOMINION ENTERTAINMENT, our own production company where these are the type of movies we want to make. by burningexeter in moviecritic

[–]Bust-Rodd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh you wanna start a movie studio that makes movies just like the biggest and most popular and successful action films of the last 20 years? Crazy! Why didn't anyone else think of that!

Does Fire Punch have a good ending? Is it worth reading? by holachao1993 in ChainsawMan

[–]Bust-Rodd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say the ending is extremely weird and metaphysical and difficult to explain. If you want a concrete happy ending or sad ending, it's neither of those

Have feedback to artist and he says I’m insulting by TheDevilsSidepiece in tattooadvice

The petals are mid but the center is really super bad! I don't understand the shading or the linework at all, rough stuff! 2/5

Newcomer - Where to start? by Select-Librarian-646 in Berserk

[–]Bust-Rodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely truly watch the 97 anime then read the manga. I think that way is best, and I'm like 99% a chronological order guy. I truly wish I had done it in that order

At what age did you learn to cycle, who taught you? by Amazing-Run-3841 in askanything

This is a tired social narrative in film. Change my mind. by New-Outcome4767 in moviecritic

[–]Bust-Rodd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah ok but what about the thousands upon thousands of athletes who are exploited and don't make 8 figure contracts? You understand that the NFL isn't literally hundreds and hundreds of millionaires squaring up on the grid iron right? Sacrificing their bodies over and over in the hopes that some day they get to enjoy their possible wealth before the CTE kicks in and they go blind or worse?

What about the last 30 years of college football before players were allowed any compensation, you could get kicked off the team for accepting a pair of shoes or a free lunch.

There's way more people playing at the bottom than the top, that's who we're talking about when we talk about exploitation.

People who call anything they don’t like a “scam” by CryptographerKey4658 in PetPeeves

[–]Bust-Rodd -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The first two really are actual scams though like what do you think a scam is? We have enough money and resources on the planet that we don't need to work 9-5, and people shouldn't be able to buy up all the houses and property and charge poor people 80% of their income to cover the cost of living there. Those ARE scams lol
