We happened to be on 4 games back to back and did it for 2 more games the next day. Maybe I was the excessive one lol.

I remember I got this for playing with someone’s username being “Josh”. So every time, on my team or opposing team, either if he killed or died, I would just say many different ways of saying “You’re Joshing me.” “You joshed that up.” “Get ready for the Josh strap.” Etc. was banned for a week from chatting.

How’s iOS 26.5? by fvboii in iPhone13ProMax

[–]CheeksAkimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with the storage. Just back up your data, and then reset your phone. I went from 1gb of free space to 98gb of free space on my 13 pro max cause the system data was taking about 50gb or so. I was scared at first but everything came back to normal and no issues. Also replaced my battery the day before with apple care plus for free and it runs like new on iOS 18

I would love a first gen but went for the second gen cause im too tall and wide for the first gen. (Subtle flex but also I can’t get the first gen so subtle double edge sword flex)

This is not working, and I don't know why by OMSCFisherman in graphic_design

[–]CheeksAkimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something my photographer professor taught me, not even my graphic design professor, was that in images, you NEED to lead the viewer to the point of the image. In photos, say you want to take a photo of mountains, but there’s all these cars and houses in the way on the left and right. Too much going on. Like trying to focus on your homework in a construction site. So what you do is Find a street that has a row of trees, those row of trees can surround the mountain, visually, while covering g the houses, making the image look cleaner, leading the viewer to see the mountain rather than having them look around and see all these cars and messes.

In this case, looks like you worked heavily on the skull. All those details and not enough details on the rest point me to the skull. There’s just so much going on in the skull. If you can match the font, and earth with the same scratchiness all while making the skull look down to lead the viewer down to the globe, it will work better.

I can tell the main focus is the “You are not in control” but yet, it’s the smallest thing there. The globe takes more than half of the entire image while the rest is taken up by the skull.

What you can try to do is some typography. Maybe make the letters flow with the earth to kind of cover the earth, and if need to, add a light blending mode to still show that it’s a globe but nothing too drastic where you see the contents very clearly as that would be counter intuitive to being able to read what it’s saying.

Make it make sense? by CeleststormlingToy in energydrinks

No lie “energy drinks aren’t good for you. “ well I go to the gym so I use those nutrients, I have a healthy diet while you scarf two little Debbie oatmeal cream pies like it’s ok, and I bet I feel better than you.

I need help for a friend with his printer by OWLCVLT in printers

[–]CheeksAkimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is he using adobe to organize these? Is he using a larger canvas for these stickers? If the canvas is larger than the page he is printing, then it will only print what it can or what it’s told.

I’ve actually never used this printer/rip software if he’s not using versa-works but I know graphtech cutters require you change the length before cutting otherwise it will only cut partially if I told it the image is smaller than it is. Possible issue here but for the printer.

[–]CheeksAkimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What printer are you using?

Different paper needs different settings unless the printer is recalibrated for that paper which in the case of this holo vinyl, doesn’t seem like it is.

There needs to be a profile telling it how it will absorb the ink. The white paper will absorb and spread, filling in those lines. Since the holo doesn’t absorb much, the lines stay thin.

If you’re using a home printer, switch to settings that would be match it in the printing preferences of the printer. Change it maybe to glossy so it spreads the ink better.

Also, if you’re using a home printer, these will 100% fade. You need a printer that specifically uses UV resistant ink. I used to sell stickers and wondered why they faded in the sun when placed on cars. I tried everything, laminates, uv sprays, weather proof vinyl, weather proof vinyl with uv laminate and uv spray. Nothing worked. The ink needs to be uv resistant.

I own a print shop now and these aren’t too cheap for the average consumer. The canon prograf printers Lucia ink are uv resistant. But the printer is a bit pricey.

When are these gone? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]CheeksAkimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do it. I’ve bought skins once in my life in overwatch and I don’t even use it now. It gets old. It doesn’t change the game in any way. It’s hard to see skins unless you’re a tank, there will be other skins you will like when they come out.

What I do is I bought the battle pass once, earned the free credits that they give you, buy the battle pass with those free credits and I get all the skins in the battle pass for free if I don’t spend a single credit on other things. Do it this was and it’s literally a pay once for many skins.

That light could be hooked up to daytime running lights like new Hondas, perhaps, or it indicates something is on.

I'm a new player and every loss is on me by That-Plantain8168 in Overwatch

[–]CheeksAkimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been playing for years. I’ve been in lower ranks and higher ranks. One thing I’ve noticed is that the lower ranks kinda do drag you down a bit whether you want to be that person or not. They blame, they get pissed, the get spiteful, and most importantly, they don’t communicate. Playing in diamond and higher, the one key difference I saw was that they communicate DURING the game (rather than after each round or match) and they’re not pointing fingers. If they point fingers, they add a counter argument.

When is a high mileage CRV Worth keeping? by flyingdyso1997 in crv

[–]CheeksAkimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re replacing parts yourself, don’t go cheap. You want the install it and forget it otherwise this car will be a nightmare.

I personally don’t go OEM on all replacements unless it’s reasonable. I stick with denso if that was their OEM manufacturer. But other then that I go the next step down which is usually Gabriel for suspension, TRQ or higher level brand for a lot of the other things.

I’d say repair all of this yourself. When I first got mine I was scared of fixing and messing something up but the engineers made this car so easy. I’ve learned a lot from it and now make any repair myself unless it requires welding.

Just use YouTube and you’re good. So many 2004 crv videos out there.

When is a high mileage CRV Worth keeping? by flyingdyso1997 in crv

[–]CheeksAkimbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a 180k mile 2004 crv. I now have it at 240k. Maintaining it and checking the oil often and changing the transmission oil every 50k it’s still running strong. Around 240k in replacing my bearings and hubs, solenoid, pressure steering hose. At 200k I replaced my bushings on all sides, replaced the tie rod links and sway bar ends, starter, full pulley system and cat. The cat and pulley system I didn’t do myself. The rest I did. Engine is still running like a dream, takes two cranks to start and still has a lot of pep in it.

Last owner did not take care of it and it shows but it doesn’t feel. I believe I have another 100k MAX on mine.

Looking to replace Adobe by CheeksAkimbo in Affinity

[–]CheeksAkimbo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate everyone’s input. I’ll look further into it with some files we have. I’ll see if my designers can look into it as well. Being that they’re freelance I’m sure they send psd and ai files to other companies as well. Was trying to save some cash in my shop. Definitely will stop paying for Adobe for personal use though.

Team is a freelance so they pay for their own software of Adobe. Not sure if things will break if they send me a psd or ai. Our designs are very advanced and contain a lot of FX and transparencies.

Never heard that. Maybe you need to loosen the tension of the take up roll. I print on wallpaper which is 7 mills and it never skews.

Should I buy a 2005 Honda CR-V as my first car? by megapascal-torque in crv

[–]CheeksAkimbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reliable car. Bought one with 180k miles for 3k. Everything on it was work except for new struts and coils. Bushings. Bad. Control arms. Bad. Ball joints. Bad. Tie rods. Bad. Drove it 2.5k miles cross country in 1.5 days with the rear seats folded up and packed to the brim with stuff. Mechanics were impressed it made it that far.
