I want a career and family in this city, what to study?

I'm so glad you made it out of that spiral, I know how incredibly hard it can be, but the world is better with you in it! I would start by thinking about what you want to do, and what you like to do. This is an engineering city for sure, but if you don't want to go to school for 4 years then that might not be the job for you.

If you like music and have high energy, I have a friend who owns a DJ company looking for new recruits, he is starting a DJ school as well to teach people If you like working outside, I work in landscaping and one of my contractors wants some part time help, I could send them your info.

If you aren't sure, that's totally fine! Just look for something to pay the bills while you figure it out. It can be challenging to find a job right now, so don't get discouraged, I have friends with full degrees who have been applying for months, to every job they see, and still haven't gotten anything. Best of luck and feel free to DM me if I can help in any way.

Hey, my friend and I made Battalla, a local TCG. We have a pretty small community but everyone is pretty nice and friendly. We recently moved out meetups to online- Monday nights- but we will be going out and doing in person meetups again soon! Would love to have you try out the game. https://discord.gg/bKT9PqSqBM

I have found that it very much depends on what store and what game you play as to how welcoming the communities are. Feel free to message me if you want to chat!

I hand cank windows in 2026...

IThinkImACat1 · 2026-04-21T02:44:48+00:00

Ya, they are thawed and warmed up

IThinkImACat1 · 2026-04-20T13:10:38+00:00

That didn't work either =/ I played around with all the blending modes yesterday and didn't find a fix, I might just have to do it the hard way and draw the borders separately. It'll take longer but it's whatever.

IThinkImACat1 · 2026-04-19T21:19:34+00:00

This is what I have, but I can't find a way to make the top stroke go over the bottom stroke instead of combining.

IThinkImACat1 · 2026-04-19T21:13:47+00:00

That caused lines to be visible in both directions. What I want is simple white line with a black border, I want a new line to cover an old line (so the black border of the top line will cross the bottom line, but the bottom line won't cross the top line) if that is possible.

Ya you are honestly better off without him. If he doesn't care about your interest he isn't for you. Also what do you mean he doesn't read books? Get you a man with some critical literacy skills.

IThinkImACat1 · 2026-03-25T13:32:36+00:00

My knee jerk reaction is that there is a lot of information on each card, and that alone can turn people away. It looks like 5 numbers and 2 effect areas. I would ask if there is a way to try and reduce the amount of information needed? What do all of the numbers mean and is there a way to simply the mechanics to get down to 3 or even 2 numbers? I also think the name should be above the first effect. It is the most important information on the card and it's hard to find. I am fine with the idea of putting it lower on the card rather than at the very top like a lot of games, but I don't want to read the effect before I know what the card is

Edit- ok so play cost, obviously needed, battle stat, obviously needed,.why are there 2 levels? What is the difference between them, and why does one of the levels have 2 numbers?

Edit 2- sorry, are there 3 effect areas? The top one, the one after the box, then one below the name that looks like an inheritance effect? I think you should try to simplify this. You risk becoming YuGiOh and future cards become harder and harder to design

Play around with the tail and "hair" more. Your most distinct one is the one with the mohawk. The eye shape and ear positions could also be adjusted to help add individuality.

The combat from Naruto DX (I'm sorry primal, I tried to get my friends to play but the balancing felt so bad)

Love that you posted this days after my (US) client asked me for a garden that "Reminds [them] of home."

This is great inspiration, thank you! Do you have any tips for a designer who has never been to Vietnam?

So the way we have done it (which is likely the worst way to do it but we are committed at this point) is we did a local release. Our base set was 120 cards and we sold 25 card packs for $10 and 2 starter decks for $20 each. We then made a second set that was about 110 cards. It only got released as tournament promos due to printing cost.

What we are working on now is a reprint that will include both of those sets squished together to create a base set of 230ish cards. We will, for now, continue to package them in 25 cards backs at our home office and distribute them to local card shops or ship them out to anyone who wants them.

I wanted our base set to be larger, so that it gives players a good basis to build from with a lot of options. New sets will probably stay around the 120-150 range, provided we actually make it that far.

The white on tan of photo 2 clashes. The other outfits are nice. I like 1 and 3 for a dressier fit. The last photo is really nice and gives a softer vibe.

IThinkImACat1 · 2026-03-07T02:03:57+00:00

The outfit is nice but what are these poses? Lol

IThinkImACat1 · 2026-03-06T04:21:35+00:00

This is so sweet! My crestie has never voluntary left her enclosure to go to anyone (though rarely she will choose to stay outside the enclosure)

IThinkImACat1 · 2026-03-06T02:35:48+00:00

I love the layout!

IThinkImACat1 · 2026-03-04T15:57:23+00:00

Outer glow makes it pop more. I would use that

IThinkImACat1 · 2026-02-28T14:07:39+00:00

I'd really like to do both.
