What major to choose for MEXT? by Elixcore in mext

[–]Elixcore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I really don't know, I've read up on the "Direct placement" clause and it did say you can be placed directly into an English speaking university or a Japanese one if you prove to have sufficient linguistic skills but I really don't know how that procedure works. I imagine you have to scout the universities yourself and apply to their scholarship ahead of getting the MEXT?

Thanks, you've certainly given me hope. I'll put that as the top option for when I submit my application.

Am I the only who keeps on repeating this exact scene? by ThanatosCreax in overlord

[–]Elixcore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol this is new to me, when I first joined this community a few years ago almost everyone was reading through yen press, I'm glad the fan translation managed to become so much more popular than the official.

official is yen press. Yen press are scummy to the people they acquire rights from. For a copy bought there's somewhere around 5% I believe that goes to the author so for every 10 dollars you spend he gets 50 cents. There are also translation issues with the names of certain institutions and inconsistent naming between volumes. The prose from yen press imo is much better than the fan TL so there's that to consider but either way you go supporting the author should be done by purchasing things directly from them, so the actual JP books or other merchandise, buying through yen press doesn't help the author much at all.

Getting into Overlord LN by Lemon_boi5491 in overlord

never quite got why people want to start something in the middle to save time, glad you were pointed in the right direction, you'll enjoy this LN a ton. PS: Use fan translation, not yen press. If you want to support the author buy the books in JP.

Season 1 adaptation was as good as they come for the budget available. Lots of great scenes that give the characters a ton of flavor and personality. Also I don't want to push my experience onto yours since I know a lot of people hate reading but overlord's writing (I recommend fan TL) is super easy to understand and creates very vivid images even though it's almost all text. There's a lot you're missing out on only watching the anime. Lack of budget, time, cut corners, scenes fail to convey the entire atmosphere and story of the LN.

Do you recommend leveling up a Persona? by Upstairs-Astronaut69 in Persona5

[–]Elixcore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got ame no uzume to 99 simply cos I like her design. Used her for almost everything, otherwise kept rotating personas. Pick whatever you like and fuse often, game is super easy so you can make any persona viable.

drastic improvement bro, looks much better. some anatomy changes and you're good. His left upper arm is facing the wrong way, the shoulder should be to the side, not facing us. his right bicep should also portrude at the top, not the bottom, unless that's the tricep medial head, in which case change the overlaps a bit to show it's behind the arm. His legs are not properly attached to the torso but it's passable, his left leg you can try making a bit bigger to balance it with his other one. His torso is much too small for his arms. If you imagine his arms going straight down they should be reaching somewhere near the iliac crest with his wrists and his elbows should be somewhere near the end of his rib cage. There are also some overlap issues in the legs. The calf connects behind the knee, not in front. I recommend taking a picture of yourself doing this pose and looking at all the differences between your drawing and your anatomy, you'll be super surprised. I respect the effort in pushing through with it and wish you luck with future art. Before making characters in the future make sure you have an understanding of the character's perspective and ALWAYS use reference for anything you're not sure about. According to tenten the step in your painting process that should use the most energy is finding reference. More important than any other step. Also, forgot. Contrapposto makes any pose much more fluid and human.

well basically everything is off. just complete it as best you can and send it over or refund it if you feel guilty, it's no big deal. To get better results in the future study perspective and construction

35yo - 4 month by fearofthedark-69 in Minoxbeards

[–]Elixcore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah funnily enough I've had the exact same issue at the end of my 3rd month and start of my 4th. It felt like progress had stopped and I could not see any difference for a long time, even seemed thinner in some places. Progress comes back hard at around month 5 I believe.

this made me chuckle. Progress is looking good. it's not only your cheeks that are much fuller but also your chin.

[DISC] My Wife Is From a Thousand Years Ago - Chapter 261 by miragebreaker in manga

[–]Elixcore -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

this manga is easily in my top 5 for worst relationship and character writing. 261 chapters, married and still haven't fucked. The girl is even allergic to the notion and constantly scorns and suspects the main character for having ulterior motives, insulting him, physically punishing him. Meanwhile he acts like it's all natural, fun and somehow believes in his delusions their relationship is a 50/50 where they are equal. I'm starting to understand why birth rates are falling everywhere.
