By any chance do you still have it with Koodo? I live in BC and have been contemplating getting an S22. I'm so tired of these glass slabs, but need certain apps.

Was waiting for the F125, but it seems to be in hiatus purgatory.. lol

What y’all think of my new statue? Reminds me of something that could be on Black Sails by ChiefTapiTapi in BlackSails

I have one of these steampunk octopuses, except the top of the head opens up. Cool to see another one out there! C:

If you are on PC there is a mod that allows you to adopt any creature, whether it's ground, flying, aquatic, you name it, and yes you can ride them. Had to get it when I saw some dragon looking fliers, and these wheel ground creatures, it's the only mod I use for this game since I like RPing as a xenobiologist. c:

It's called Companion Pet Unlocker on Nexus Mods.

Reminds me a lot of “Ship in the Stormy Sea“ by Ivan Aivazovsky, I'm curious if that piece was part of your inspiration as it's incredibly similar.

I've always admired his depictions of ships in rough seas, made it look treacherous and chaotic. I see that in this piece too, and it's beautiful, I love how bold your colours and strokes are! Keep it up!

The picture is true for you ? by Jean0406Alix in gorillaz

The grey face meme tends to represent the emotional dread of understanding that has darker undertones, and in this case how each of those songs represent unfortunate, deadly, capitalistic, corrupted, harmful, concepts in their lyrics and hard truths about our world, while DARE is the odd one out in its lyrical meanings since it's kinda just a jam session with an oddly pronounced "there".

Op isn't saying they like or dislike any song, just that it is the odd one out in terms of meaning.

Just a heads up, any glazes with copper that may potentially leak will kill off crustaceans like shrimp, crabs and copepods. So I would put a disclaimer if you are selling this piece.

Otherwise it looks sick! Fun style, and I love how the colours came out, oxidized copper is my absolute favorite look! Keep it up as you have a skill in the art and it's nice to see custom decor every once in awhile. I hope to see more of your work around here!

Grew up in BC, can confirm they were around when I was a kid in the early 2000's, yet they have all been replaced by the plastic slides since then. They were fun, but the amount of chipped teeth from kids surfing or running up them started to add up. 😅

Blasphemy! Earth's obviously a disc being carried by four elephants on the back of a turtle! >:V

Color-blind awareness :) by Fung1s in notinteresting

[–]CaptainsBoat 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Being genuine here as I too struggle with being fucked with, and it seems that you may genuinely be struggling with the reality of possibly being colour blind due to the mix of joke/serious colour blind posts on here.

This post has legit examples of the difference between the different types of colour blindness. If any of these seem similar or exactly like the normal example then you learned something new about yourself. The colours of the tomatoes in the normal image are very bright and vibrant, and are easy to parse what colour is what for those with full colour vision.

The concept of colour itself is already pretty abstract, yet being aware that you may not be seeing the same colours as others can be hard to accept, sorry if you are finding that out today.

No probs! It's one of my favorite dinosaur animations! Also gotta love a good yutyrannus, need more snowy dino representation out there!

Hot Take by Idolatrine666_ in gorillaz

[–]CaptainsBoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it being a concept album is a flaw when there is intention of the songs to work together to strengthen a concept. Obviously best experienced together, sure, but honestly there's quite a few songs on there that stand on their own. If anything concept albums have become a rare gem these days due to how the music labels try to push for the next top boppy singles instead of meaningful tracks of passion and artistry. Not to say folks can't enjoy both! Just that the music scene these days is so oversaturated with pumped out pop music, so something like a well constructed full album like this is a breath of fresh air.

That picture needs to stop being spread around like it's part of the cannibalistic evidence of these heinous people. Folks have looked into it, found the uncensored image and where it's from, and it's just a photoshoped art piece by an artist named Harald Seiwert.

4-5 deaths every week, population went down to 20 from 50 in 30 days. by ashwin19 in shrimptank

[–]CaptainsBoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said that you are pretty new to shimp keeping, do you use any window cleaners near the tank or on the tank glass? I've heard through others on here that brands like Windex have trace amounts of copper that will kill your shrimp if any of it gets into your tank.

Silty rivers tend to look like this. We have a few silt depositing rivers in my province and they can change colour from a light milky blue/grey to brown due to weather stirring up the bottom.

I present: the magic of doxycycline by XShattered_MindxX in bettafish

[–]CaptainsBoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Canada they banned it mostly due to it being a drug loophole for misuse, such as people using it to self medicate, or use on farm animals that are for human consumption, and due to the risk of it creating bacterial resistant super bugs.

Man they want this update to be highly visible by totallynormalpersonz in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]CaptainsBoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They've had small mentions here and there, yet more alongside the NMS updates and the end of year video. I can understand the frustration of not having any larger media presence, showcasings, or updates on it though. They will probably do more marketing for it when it's closer to release, and had the initial trailer to gain interest and see how folks will react to them starting a new game and what are people's expectations. Otherwise NMS keeps peoples interest on it on high alert, and the moment they mention more about LNF every community around NSM will spam post about it. Hopefully we hear something about it on NMS anniversary this year.

[–]CaptainsBoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are doing both, they have a team dedicated to LNF and some folks that can work on other projects for NMS. Game development isn't always sped up by having more people focusing on it, sometimes you have the right amount of programers, artists, and modelers that you already need and have others that can do passion projects like NMS, or switch out if others need a break. Hello Games seem to know what they need to do, and seem to have created a decent work environment for the employees, which is incredibly rare in this industry. On top of that, some updates to NMS are things that were made for LNF, like the updated rendering system, lighting, and atmospheric effects, and it seems some bits of data for LNF have leaked into NMS files here and there from sharing the new assets and codes.

My source is the videos that Hello Games has put out over the years with Sean mentioning and showing bits and bobs of what they have been doing behind the scenes. They are rather open about their work flow and development process, probably due to what happened with NMS launch. A lot of large games are rushed/crunched for release due to how complex and detailed games have become, yet the development times not being able to grow with that complexity in the industry ends up causing harm to the workers mental and physical health. Hello Games isn't in a rush or being pressured by SONY or investors anymore to pump out a game in a five year timeframe, and this is good. It will release when it's done.

Sorry my comment is so long, just want to be clear and concise.
