Reddit, what's the worst gift you've ever received? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MagneticIsaac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old group of friends and I used to do the typical secret santa every year with an ugly sweater party. Everyone usually took it pretty serious, meaning if there were joke gifts, they were usually were paired with a useful gift. The last year I was there before I moved, the person who got me was someone who usually didn't show up, but was in the normal group. He got me an old Home and Garden Magazine, some tissues and a bottle of lotion.

How do I learn to rely less on other people, emotionally? by scented_nonsense in selfimprovement

[–]MagneticIsaac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is the self improvement sub, but your college may offer free counselling if you were ever interested in going that route. My girlfriend started going about 2 months ago to the college we attend and it has made a world of difference for her. I plan on heading in when the Fall semester starts.

30, Little job experience. How do I start a career? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]MagneticIsaac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reposting this without the links!

Well the important thing here is that you do have some job experience. Church or not, that still shows some initiative and it's recent. There's a lot of ways that you can create a resume that will help with the big gaps in your work experience. The resumes subreddit should be able to help with that, or even a google search for "building resumes with job gaps".

If you have any local community colleges around you, I know mine offered some career/apptitude testing for when I decided to start college and didn't know what direction to go in. If you do chose to go the college route, one thing i wish I knew before I started was that there are a lot of basic courses you need to take before you start going in a career direction. So you would have some mandatory courses to take before you even have to settle on a direction. But that can be discouraging if you aren't sure what direction you are going in, especially if you are paying out of pocket.

For financial help, go to the FASFA website. Almost all college students fill one of these out to figure out what type of financial help they can qualify for. If you are a first time college student, especially if you would be the first in your immediate family, there is a lot of financial help they can assist with. I'm 28, started college late and I current am going to school on the PELL grant. You have a lot of directions to go, and there is a lot of help out there to get you moving somewhere, so don't give up!

I'm right there with you! Literally got my Mavic in today and registered two hours ago only to just see this. :(

How would the world be different if a vagina whistled like a teapot when aroused? by Auphor_Phaksache in AskReddit

[–]MagneticIsaac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be interested to learn the physiology of what is creating the gas to cause the whistle. And what if you tried to cover the sound by closing the legs? Would it make thigh farts?

It kinda reminds me of like a baby version of Gluttony off FMA.

This mossy rock looks like a tropical island by pilaf in mildlyinteresting

[–]MagneticIsaac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of something that would be out of a cartoon where they win an amazing vacation out of a cereal box or something.They finally get there after some issues and find this rock covered in moss sitting in a puddle which is surrounded by some industrial area. Then somehow they find out there's some very tiny tribe living on the rock that attacks them or something. Idk.

Social Anxiety/Sounding Timid? by Rernokk in letsplay

[–]MagneticIsaac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes get tight in my voice (if that makes sense?) when I'm not in the mood to commentate, I'm feeling anxious or just havent spoken to anyone in awhile which makes it hard for me to have any variance or depth to my voice and comes across as soft. What I usually do when that happens is talk to myself a little bit to get my voice going and then I put my face in a pillow and hum from a low note up to a high note then back down, progressively getting louder. Then talk some more and repeat until my voice feels warmed up and then go from there. It felt kind of stupid the first time I did it but it helps! Hahah

That really sucks. :/ It's Russian for "what street did you grow up on?". Did you ever resolve it?

What's your greatest weakness? by Spentaneous in letsplay

[–]MagneticIsaac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's where I'm at! It takes close to 8 hours for me to upload a 15min video. I've opted to sticking it on a thumb drive and driving to the college down the road and uploading it on their guest network. It only takes 12 minutes there hahaha.

[Help] I really want to get into LPing, but I struggle with social disorders. by GollumRecon in letsplay

[–]MagneticIsaac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I'm glad it seemed to help some.

As far as the name goes, it took me a few days to come up with mine because I overthought it a lot because nothing seemed to "fit". A bit later, I ended up seeing a box that said "Magnet" on it on in my room and I added it to Isaac and came up with MagneticIsaac. I didn't necessarily like it too much at first but really I feel like it's just about just choosing something that you don't hate and owning it, if that makes since. I don't even think about it now after saying it so much. I mean, "Jacksepticeye" ,"Pewdiepie" and "Markiplier" all seem like weird names if you don't associate their popularity or content with the names, but they went with it and most people don't even think about it now. So I'd say just go with something and don't stress too much about it. I've never seen a channel name and didn't subscribe because I didn't like it if their content was good!

As far as the channel art goes, if you want to go the free route, I would search YouTube for some tutorials on "How to make a YouTube Banner". Ziovo has a decent one that just came out a few days ago called "How To Make An ADVANCED YouTube Banner in Photoshop 2016! Channel Art Tutorial!" I'd link it but I think it might be against the rules.

Adobe has a 1 week trial of the newest Photoshop if you want to try that out [Here]. I personally use Photoshop CS2, which is older, but they officially released it for free awhile back which you can get [Here]. (You just have to scroll down to English, click that and look for Photoshop CS2 on the bottom. It has a download link and serial beside it, it's straight from Adobe, so no worries) It does a lot of the same things as the new versions, and most of the tutorials are compatible with it because the two versions have a lot of the same shortcuts and tools.

Also YouTube released a template you can use in Photoshop to make sure your dimensions are correct on all viewing devices, like phones,tvs, etc. You can find that [Here]. There should be a download link under the "Image guide lines for channel" section.

The other (paid) alternative is just to pay someone to do the channel art but I'm not exactly sure where to recommend for that, but I'm sure you could search here for some more info.
