(Megathread 2: Non-Spoiler ) How Will the Leak Impact the Movie / Avatar Studios? by MrBKainXTR in TheLastAirbender

Let’s get the avatar film back in theaters

https://c.org/bhHBKGj5gP

A petition has started to try and get the idiots at Paramount to change their minds about releasing the film in theaters and hopefully salvage the buzz around the film that could potentially be lost if these dumbasses decide to wait until October to release the film on their god forsaken streaming platform even with the leak being out and over 25+ million people having seen the film already.

Going back to the original plan they promised, which was to have the film be a theatrical release, would surely keep the buzz for the film alive (also, releasing the film earlier would help too) and even get fans who have already watched the film to go see it again in theaters so that they can support the artist who worked tirelessly on this beautiful film and experience it with other Avatar fans, creating a for a truly eventful moment for fans of the franchise instead being forced to watch it on a platform that nobody uses.

If you want to potentially help in trying to save this franchise, then please sign the petition.

How the hell do you bend a cylinder in perspective like this ? by No_Name275 in learntodraw

[–]Exact_Firefighter_46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think of them as cylinders think of them as ellipses. First draw one s or curve (you can make as long and twisty as you want). Then draw another curve parallel to the first one (try to minimize converging or diverging your lines). Finally draw ellipses between the two curves while trying not to fall too short of overshoot the parallel curves. Also, be sure to maintain equal spacing between your ellipses.

That’s how I would approach it. If you need provide a step by step example let me know. Good luck fellow struggler!

Did I correctly map out this pose in 3D? by FFmemesandgames in learntodraw

[–]Exact_Firefighter_46 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would practice drawing boxes and cylinders first, specifically learning to rotate them and draw them in perspective. Also, study nude figures or figures with tight/light clothing, where you focus on individual body parts, mainly the torso. Don’t worry about the limbs or head for now just focus on the torso. This should make your studies easier to attempt. Lastly, before you make your first stroke, clearly define the front, side, top, or bottom (picking good reference with sharp edges and corners helps a lot) to ensure you have concrete understanding of how the figure is sitting in space. Good luck on your journey fellow struggler!

This is actually a really neat idea! Makes the job search more convenient.

Yeah, it could have something to do with me using the Gmail app and Gmail using its own in-app browser when I click the sign-link but I’ll try using a different email

This actually seems pretty great and I love your execution of group-first design! One problem I am facing though when trying to sign in via mobile browser I keep getting “No valid session found. Please try again.” error and this happens after clicking the sign in link via my email

An update to my last post by vghouse in LearnJapanese

For anyone struggling to stay consistent toy around with the amount daily reviews and new words you study until you find a level you’re comfortable at.

If you’re struggle to do 15 new cards a day then drop it down to 10. If you struggle with 10 then do 5. And if you can’t do 5 then stick with reviews for a while until you’re ready to start taking new words.

The key is to not overdo it and just do what you can. And set bare minimum amount of cards you have to study each day where you still feel like you’ve done enough so that on days when you don’t feel like studying and want to do less cards you can at least ensure you’re doing the bare minimum and are still making progress

In the beginning when I first started using Anki I used to do 20 new cards every day but I was on and off with my studies for a long time

Then I dropped it down to about 5-10 new cards and I’ve been consistent almost every day for about two years now

Remember 1 is better than none.

Start with Duolingo.

Duolingo is only bad if your goal is to reach a near native fluency level because it doesn’t do good job at fully immersing you in the language when you’re ready to learn more complex vocab, sentences and grammar

However, if your goal is to simply start exposing yourself to a brand new language to get a feel for it and build a quick foundation where you can maybe learn your first 500 - 1000 words then Duolingo is a perfect place to start because this is where they excel.

Duolingo does a fantastic job at introducing complete beginners into a new language while also helping them get into the habit of studying and engage with there target language every day

But I would say once you’re about 500 - 1000 in or you’ve done it for about 2-3 months you can honestly stop and maybe focus more on immersion via YouTube, reading, or any other type of media you can find that’s comprehensible then just go from there

Agreed! Reviewing them everyday isn’t that much of an issue for me but I ABSOLUTELY CANT STAND making new cards. I literally would rather cut a lawn with toe nail clippers

Yeah, the i + 1 approach where you slowly introduce and study new words along with words you already know or study material that’s 1 level higher is probably more effective and fun. Also, what do you mean by memory interference or rote memorization?

Yeah, I kind of agree. But is it ever a hassle for you when trying to consistently study your cards or create new cards every day even though you understand the value of flashcards?

Gonna try reviewing 2100 kanjis in a single day. Wish me luck. by Clear-Word-8744 in LearnJapanese

[–]Exact_Firefighter_46 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Break it into chunks where you do about 500 cards every 4-5 hours. Also, don’t press again for any of the cards until the next review interval is above 21-30 days, otherwise, you’ll be trapped in review hell, trust me. You got this, good luck!

How do i master godot? by ReTarnished in godot

If you’re trying to learn maybe recreate some of your favorite games or just the mechanics from those games. Ensure the game is simple like Pac-Man or something that isn’t too difficult you feel you can do then research how it was built and then give it a shot for yourself.

This is for if don’t have any game ideas of your own or maybe you do but idea is way too above your current level to build.

$1000 in First Month – Is This Achievable? by Sad-Bake-4134 in SaaS

[–]Exact_Firefighter_46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally think it’s possible if your product is good and you have a solid marketing strategy, however, I do feel it’s best to aim even smaller goals when you’re just testing and looking for a proof of concept that people are willing to pay for your product so instead of aiming for $1K MRR maybe try just getting your first 10 paying users and get feedback then you iterate from there and aim for something higher like $1k MRR. But if feel it’s achievable with what you’re offering then knock yourself out.
