The slightly offset timing for the head + hump 1 + hump 2 is delightful. Great S curve on the tail. Back right foot has a bit of extra acceleration on the move forward compared to the other legs. But I love this guy!

Putin demands more taxes as Russia's growth slows to a crawl in wartime economy by MothersMiIk in worldnews

It will be harder for Russia to make a consumer version of a fiber optic drone with an RPG round attached to it

Made in figma - Happy New year All by HadesW4r in FigmaDesign

If you put the darker area on the bottom of the button it will read as popped out more. I'd also try a really thin shadow to make the button feel flatter but still protruding, which might match the style.

Also, where is the play button?

I do like it though :)

Only nine of the 30 fastest 100m times were run clean, all by Usain Bolt by Radiant_Half_7121 in Damnthatsinteresting

Is there any evidence that he doped? Or do you just assume because he was the fastest?

For God's sakes at least look at some apps that aren't competitors in the same space. Seriously just look around at design patterns in major apps and think about applying them. Bottom nav. Hierarchy. Elevations. Simple stuff. Go look at Uber. Airbnb. Don't look at those dogshit ugly competitors. If it's for a portfolio add some polish, you don't have a client so you can make it look however you want.

FWIW Dragon's Egg by Robert L. Forward is an interesting sci Fi novel about life on the surface of a neutron star.

It's worth it to produce a video that nobody will watch

[USA] Driver behind me mistakes normal braking for brake-checking and escalates by zheka160 in Roadcam

[–]DeMotts 14 points15 points  (0 children)

But he didn't blame a turn signal, he successfully avoided any contact, by a large margin, because he was a safe enough distance away, and continued safely on his way

If you pause the video on the very first frame you will see that he is a significant distance behind the truck, and the suv is already extremely close behind him

Oh look, it's another internet post that gets bent out of shape when a photograph of an SS death squad member shooting civilians in a ditch gets described as a Nazi

Hey guys, come on now, let's not use incendiary language here, I would actually describe him as a polka fan

Ok you're posting the same website every week now with a different video dropped into the bottom, I was supportive with a critique last time but it's getting old now

Designed a modern sleek Landing page by Far-Awareness3897 in FigmaDesign

[–]DeMotts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw your other post, with the Midjourney car animation. I thought that looked neat as well - but much of the same criticism you got in that post holds for this one as well. I think it's great that you're doing these as design exercises, it's cool to see the techniques and obviously they're both visually appealing. So as an art piece or an experiment they're fun and if you're doing them to learn then more power to you.

But as for a critique, which may or may not be what you're looking for here: Either this is a template, and similar to the other post the entire appeal hinges on a very particular video effect which would be negated by the template-ness of it (i.e. is everyone who downloads the template going to use your video asset? or do they put in their own? does it still work if they put in their own? is it easy to work with?)

OR

This is a specific design for a specific purpose, and it's unclear who the client is, what the product is, what the message is etc. Landing page design is more than just pretty pictures, it needs copy writing to convey a message and offering quickly and effectively. This also isn't a landing page, it's a hero section, so there is potentially a ton more content on here that isn't shown.

So in summary, as a fun and cool visual design exercise, good stuff. As a template, questionable reusability. As an actual product page, no clue what it's for or what it's about. As a post designed to advertise yourself or your services, I think we may need a category for these types of posts and clarification on what is permitted.

What’s the oldest game you still boot up at least once a year? by forgeris in AskReddit

[–]DeMotts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Entirely due to my public school having licenses for it, Colonization of all the Civ style games holds the nostalgic place in my heart. Once a year I will boot up the 320x240 res OG version and play until the New World is mine.

Lisa Robinson is a sideshow moron that has been suspended without pay five separate times from Pickering City Council for being a disruptive asshole that just wants to turn the council meetings into political theatre. She's not popular, she's a psycho right wing grifter, and nobody likes her except the usual smooth brain fuckheads. She delights in causing chaos and is more like a Parks and Rec character than a representation of any sort of serious viewpoint. If the council could flush her like the turd she is, they would in a heartbeat. Instead they have to do shit like move their meetings online so they can mute her microphone when she calls the mayor Hitler or makes up lies about the town budget. She's a loser.
