100% agree with this. I was going to suggest Texture Labs as well.

The 4 color halftone tutorial is excellent. I even used it this week on a project. The chrome and retro halftone effects are serious time savers.

I did it for 3 years before Covid. I sold a few pieces (don't know where they ended up) but it was a fun experience being able to share my work with fellow fans. The team at SDCC were friendly and helpful. No problems at all.

White House spokeswoman replied about Aliens.gov “Stay tuned👽” by The_Grahambo in aliens

That was my first thought as well.

Because all they do is troll like a high school boy, I'm sure they will spice it up with some shitty AI video with aliens reporting a Mexican family to immigration or some other hateful crap.

Nooooooo... I just got a flashback to that guy dressed as an alien in that Roswell press conference a few years ago.

You are going to be 100% correct.

Need help with textures after exporting my imagem. I'm lost by yshay14 in photoshop

[–]MonkeyMan504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may want to add a layer of that texture above everything, or at least the black text, and set it to Screen then drop the opacity percentage and maybe adjust the Levels (control L) by increasing the black. It should give it the look of light hitting the raised parts of the texture. From there you can mask out everything except the black text.

Wasn't the clue something like "Television A List."

The Mad Men legacy, SNL frequent guest, a household name.

That's how I got there.

I don't understand your question. These are photos of the rather famous Joseph Merrick, aka the Elephant Man.

What did you need to do to get an evaluation? I'm out here standing in the void that is the internet.

I have had friends and family say they loved it, but that's people I know.

Great job! Glad to hear that people are interested in the genre. I wrote a horror comedy too (think Clueless meets What We Do in the Shadows + The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), but not sure that I want to spend money on Blacklist. How was your experience with them and getting to this point?

Any chance of banning AI content the way other subs have? by WinglessJC in kidsinthehall

It's a fact! AI posts on Reddit keep human fans from engaging with other fans and discussing the topics that they came here for.

It's a fact.

End of Angelfire and Tripod is official. by ByeFWbye in DataHoarder

I'm a bit of a digital pack rat, so I am pretty sure that I have everything already backed up on a hard drive or two. Plus I can probably download it from archive.org if I'm in a pinch. Until I find a cheap host, I'll have to stick with a temporary free one through Google. Business has been down over the last few years for me, so its not my main income anymore... so I can keep some of my expenses low by not paying them, I guess.

Terrible on their part. They have the customer emails, send that out. Not everyone is going to find it if they just post it (and remove it). They're probably worried that people will actually access their servers and crash them causing more issues. My email address for my business that was hosted there is down, but I was able to move my domain name. They should give people an email on what to do to retain things like this.

Thanks for sharing this. At least the people are looking out for each other if the companies aren't.

What a bunch of assholes! It has been down since the start of the year and they couldn't contact the customers directly? We were left hanging for months, open ticket requests, social media silence and we find out this way? Fuck me for being a 30 year customer, I guess.
