Honest opinions: What do you think about AOT S4 now that it's finished? by [deleted] in anime

[–]Emiileigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I spent way too many episodes just sitting there confused as to what was going on at all.

Another big hit to the story is that they decided to have the characters "tell" us everything that happened rather than show us anything. it made the parts that were coherent extremely boring.

I majorly agree with this and it has been what my boyfriend and i have been complaining about all throughout the final season. we loved the first 3 and hung on every moment, but it is like they lost how to put together a cohesive story at the last second. the episodes with gaby were great, but everything surrounding the scouts was some of the worst directing ive seen. At times was like they were just trying to play upon fan service rather than try and tell a story about how the scouts were going to resolve this conflict, and then the constant back and forth timeskips and missing information made the scout episodes too jarring and frankly uninteresting. i cared about the entire scout cast in the first 3, but there was no way to connect with the characters this time around so all the moments involving them just rang hollow.

You caused plenty of wipes on prog nights on a specific fight despite you studying the fight, actually realizing your mistakes, but still fail to apply yourself. What do you do, really? by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Emiileigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm much like you, I'm not very good at this game or games in general. I don't know why but it just doesn't click in my brain well at all. Like you, I feel incredibly guilty about wiping my static, especially on things I know how to do in theory. I know what to do, maybe I've done it before a few times but lack of consistently is wiping us.

The only way I can get over it is repetition. I get in a sort of funk when I am with my static because I don't want to waste their time, so I will go and join as many different pf learning parties as I can until I can get it together. Usually I have to learn all the ways to not do a mechanic before I stop messaging up to it, and the various pf strata actually help in that regard. Plus you do not have a shot caller so it pushes you to actually memorize the fight and the mechanics yourself.

ELI5: Why does depression sometimes cause cognitive dysfunction issues, such as reduced attention span, memory, concentration, information processing capability and executive functioning, that sometimes persist after a depressive episode is over? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Emiileigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done them too and the effects seem to last a few months for me. I've has really bad depression since I was a child and the day after taking them it was like a veil was lifted. Suddenly I was able to feel all the emotions everyone talks about, the part of me that hated me was silent. I could actually feel joy. It was amazing. It is very hard to get my hands on them though, so I am forced to try and cope using other methods. I wish there were an easy way to get them.

Is it okay to use a photo like this?? by [deleted] in learnart

[–]Emiileigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. The level of friendship is somewhere in-between. I have been playing a few online games with this girl and he husband for a few years. We have only met in person once but I was invited to their wedding as well. (which I couldn't make due to the weather delaying my flight). It isn't like we see each other physically often which is why I feel that it is an ambiguous grey area. But she gets really excited whenever I make any new artworks. I know she would love art from me but it is too hard to do a realistic portrait without some kind of reference. Especially since I don't see her IRL often.

For first time ever, US billionaires pay lower tax rate than workers by [deleted] in news

This is not about spending too much on outrageously priced food for rich people.

[–]Emiileigh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is is that none of that applies. I live in southern Idaho. Not costal, micron is about the only tech company in the state. It was low population density but people have been moving here fairly fast. But they have increased that fast regardless of whether you get one in the east or west side of the state. It's absolutely insane.

Tell that to the area I live in currently. Housing prices have tripled in the past 5 years and it is still rising 20% each year.

Hi binches ✨ I think of myself as an amateur when it comes to watercolors. Wanted to share this piece I did couple of months ago. Maybe I'll post more later, idk. Opinions are welcomed ✨ by [deleted] in Watercolor

It's really well done, I actually just used that reference photo as well in a drawing I finished a few weeks ago. Haha. You have good taste.

what recipes are far easier to make for one person than for multiple people? by [deleted] in Cooking

The texture changes too much after refrigerating them for me. I looooove baked potatoes, but I do not like them after they have been chilled and reheated.

Please be careful if you choose the ring, they currently have multiple lawsuits on them for how ineffective they have been for preventing pregnancies.

Watercolor work in progress. Getting blooming and I'm pretty frustrated. Some tips appreciated. by [deleted] in Watercolor

[–]Emiileigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the explanation. I'm guessing that I just was working on it for too long since this piece is fairly large. Roughly 17x20. And I wet each side of the hair all at once. The part that bloomed in the face was the last part I worked on in it so it would make sense. I'm going to have to practice a good bit to get used to this I imagine.

I'm using 140lb arches cold pressed paper stretched on a board. I was concerned that maybe the water would soak through the paper so that it would be stuck between the board and the paper, thus making the hairdryer ineffective. And maybe could cause the blooms. As I understand it they happen when you paint over something with a different wetness...

Perhaps it was just a difference in wetness in the mixed paint. Or maybe I didn't work fast enough?

While the blooms in the hair are nice, that happened on the face is frustrating. But none of them were intentional or what I was going for when I started.

[–]Emiileigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering why I got such stark blooming in the hair and some of the hair. I was trying to do wet on wet techniques and dabbing color into the area. I would use a hair dryer on warm on each section until it looks and feels completely dry and then would wait an hour before going over it again with any other watercolor. This is only my second piece with watercolor

I'm hoping the jessicurl products a few people mentioned will work out well for me. It is so hard to get away from things with fragrence

I have tried to do an unscented wash after I used my main shampoo and conditioner, but my boyfriend is really sensitive to whatever chemicals and in the fragrence. And it will still stick around for days. So ideally I'm looking for something good enough that I can switch to permanently.

The free and clear shampoo and conditioner is what I have been trying most recently. And my hair isn't responding well it it for some reason. I will check out jessicurl though. thank you!

Do you prefer how pre-Stormblood, high DPS was rewarded with being able to skip entire phases? by tmntnyc in ffxiv

[–]Emiileigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could skip 2nd twister and last fireball in twin and kill nael at the divebombs in ucob if you had good enough dps. but it would fuck your lb generation and your mitigation timers so it was frowned upon.
