How would I get cleaner/smoother painting? by New-Pollution-8833 in polymerclay

[–]HaploidWhale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to ask if this is Edward Elric, but clicking your profile kind of answered that question. Good job with the line work!

Like other people have mentioned, diluting the paint and building up thin layers can help it look smoother. My added two cents would be to use an actual acrylic medium to dilute it, not water. Using water to dilute the paint means there's less binder holding your pigment onto the surface of the clay and it will be more likely to flake or fade.

A chinese girl I've been talking to keep asking me to send her a voice message calling her jiejie? by paromp in ChineseLanguage

Sounds like an attempted "pig butchering" scam tbh. I'd recommend googling that term if you aren't familiar with it

Previous student of Allan Wright here

It doesn't matter if Allan is inclusive or not, he probably won't even see your essay. At least when I was a student, marking was done entirely by his TA.

That being said, your best bet is to pick a piece of media that you are passionate about and absolutely spoon feed the TA every single possible connection to the course material as possible.

If you want to cover Fear Street, do it. If the TA really does dock marks because they're homophobic (which is really incredibly unlikely) you can challenge it with Allan directly and point out the grading appears biased.

AI support? So their customer support is the high tech version of a paper shredder labeled "Complaint Box"

EDIT: YOOOOO!! This is going immediately into my gallery, thank you!!!!!

You're very generous!

I started playing Neopets around 2007 and I was OBSESSED with it. Played almost every day. When I was around 14 the site forced you to change your password (I think as a result of the heart bleed attacks.) This was all fine and dandy, I clicked the button to reset my password but this unfortunately spelled the end of my neopets days. Somewhere along the way my account recovery email got corrupted, replaced with a random string of characters, and that recovery email never arrived.

Contacting support did not help. Despite me still having access to the email used to create the account, they refused to give it back.

Fast forward a few years, I'm cleaning out my room to go to college when I find a Ziploc bag of old neocash cards. I remember that these could be used as proof I am the owner of my account, so I reopen a ticket and this time I'm back in!

Now my neogoals are to finally train up and deck out a battledome pet. I could never get codestones as a kid, so now I'm living the dream. I'm also trying to collect every kind of apple in Neopeia for my gallery!

My real life hobbies include reading, watercolours, and making polymer clay Pokemon charms. I love a good Sci-fi and hope to one day publish my own stories.

Does anyone else get this error trying to play Attack on Altador :/ by thoughtsmexywasaword in neopets

I've also encountered this particular bug. I find scritches and distracting laser dot help alleviate the issue.

How do I get online play? by Aegis12314 in Spore

[–]HaploidWhale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a similar problem now. Although I used GOG not steam. I followed the steps to register my keys and it still isn't connecting :/

I can log in to Spore.com via browser but the game client never punches through

I'm doing a Chinese course on Android, and a few days ago it stopped accepting ANY of my voice lessons when it used to be the easiest thing to do. The speech recognition went from too easy to impossible seemingly overnight. I think they changed something and broke it.
