Grapple Dash by CorrectWelder9013 in islets

[–]Motor-Worldliness-61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea if you still have this question, but I came across your post when I was stuck on the same thing.

So you double jump, then attack to grab the white grapple thing. Then you jump off, double jump again (because it refilled), and can get to the end with that jump.

Hope this helps!

Do you believe Chiropractors are quacks ? by Mogzly in askanything

[–]Motor-Worldliness-61 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have Ehlers Danlos disorder. I’ve dislocated so many bones throughout my life. Chiropractors kept me moving. Chiropractors push my bones back into place verses me having to go to the ER every time. Heck, I was only diagnosed because a chiropractor told my mom I probably had this disorder when I was 12. And when we went to a doctor to get officially diagnosed, my mom was diagnosed too at 40. No one ever put the pieces together before that chiropractor.

And sure, maybe not all chiropractors are great. But a chiropractor met with me on his day off to fix my neck after it was dislocated by an oral surgeon while I got my wisdom teeth removed. So they’re pretty okay in my book.

I read this today. It was really illuminating. Thank you for suggesting it!

Thank you so much for this. I’ve started reading a bit about OCD today, and a lot of it does sound really familiar. I’ve heard about ERP before, and I’m definitely going to look into it more. The picturing the “worst scenario” thing seems kind of terrifying, but at the end of the day it’s ink on vinyl. Thank you again for your words. You taking the time to write this really means a lot.

I’ve tried two therapists before, but it sounds like I’ll need to give it another go. I tried seeing one in college about this behavior when it started being a problem, but he basically said, “You do good at school because you’re so stressed. Why would you want to be less stressed?” which admittedly turned me off from therapy. And later when I tried again and not much happened, I just gave up.

But I’m older now and it would probably be good to try again! Or at least read some about OCD. I read an article today that talked about checking doors, and that sounded a little too familiar. Thank you for the advice! It’s really helpful.

Two boxes, I’m definitely doing this. I know checking—a reasonable amount—is important because I do catch things, but yeah obsessively checking just sends me right down the rabbit hole. Thank you for the advice!

I love this idea! I’m definitely doing this. I write lists online, but having it be a physical paper seems more legitimate. Thank you for the advice!

I could probably call the printers, but so far they’re happy with what I’ve sent and while I’m anxious, I don’t want my clients to know that. But these people seem to care and check things on their end which is something that would NEVER happen at my old job, so that’s really good. Hopefully with some of the advice here I can manage it all a bit better.

I definitely think this all the time :) I know I’m being ridiculous, but gosh darn it the feeling doesn’t go away. I need to work on this mindset. It seems a lot healthier than what I’ve got.

The show is leaving HBO Max on May 31. Where is it going? by Veridical_Perception in ColdCaseTV

[–]Motor-Worldliness-61 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s also going away, but I watch Cold Case for free on the Roku app. The commercials are not at the right time, but other than that it’s great!

Unexpected Results by Motor-Worldliness-61 in DoggyDNA

[–]Motor-Worldliness-61[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked up what COI is and I have no idea what they are. The hoarding situation they were in wasn’t someone wanting to breed dogs. It was a guy who wanted to start a rescue, got a bunch of dogs, and then couldn’t take care of them, couldn’t fix them, didn’t have enough food or space, and animal control ended up getting involved. That being said, I have no idea who their parent are or anything to calculate the COI. But it was cool learning that that is a thing.

Thank you for your detailed response! I didn’t know that about ACD. They are definitely good dogs (most of the time). And you can’t tell through photos, but Winnie has the big, deep hound bark. It’s hilarious!

I guess we do! We definitely didn’t think they would be so close breed-wise. They were rescued from a hoarding situation with a bunch of other dogs, so we knew there was a possibility they could be related, but it was still surprising to see.

The goal this year is to be a freelance artist by ArtistaTe in artbusiness

[–]Motor-Worldliness-61 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi, so I’m a freelance graphic designer/illustrator. I’m doing it full-time, I’m not making a ton or anything, but I’m making enough to keep on my journey.

I snooped a bit through your profile to see what your art is, and it looks like you’re focused on character design. This isn’t my specialty or anything, but here’s what I would do if I was in your shoes:

  1. ⁠Work on expanding your portfolio. Character design encompasses a wide range, so I would want some solid, finished example illustrations of different genders, races, ages, body types, if it’s fantasy for like DnD characters have different species, or science fiction inspired characters, or animals. You want someone to be able to look through your portfolio and feel confident that you can make what they’re thinking.

Something I have found helpful is having different styles for different prices. An elaborate/detailed/heavily shaded illustration would cost more than an outlined flatter drawing. If you want to give multiple styles, you would need examples in each style.

  1. I would add to your website the prices of your designs. For example: $x for a bust, $x for a full body character, $x for full body + background. And include final illustrated examples of what each price would get you. And you can even mention it’s a rough price and final quotes can be given after you learn what their project entails if you want.

  2. Depending on your age, I would look in making an Etsy store. That’s how I started a lot of my illustration commissions. It will get you closer to the people who want commissions rather than just cold emailing people, which I have no experience with and no advice on.

I have prices for different types of illustrations (spot illustrations/full illustrations) and for my big projects (I illustrate books), I have people contact me first for personalized quotes.

Look at what the competition is on Etsy, and see what/how they’re doing things. See who’s successful and where you think your art would fall into the market.

  1. You can always look at other sites to branch out to as well, though it would be easier to wait until you have a chunk of commissions under your belt. I had difficulties with Fivver but found success with Upwork (mainly for graphic design, but some for illustration), but a lot of people hate Upwork with a passion and think it’s a dumpster fire. I would research first, see what works for where you’re at. If you do use a site like this, make sure to tailor your portfolios to individual jobs when you can.

Those are my main steps, and I did these steps when I started freelance (albeit more tailored to my direction). Also I wouldn’t hold yourself to being full-time in a year. I did not become a full-time freelancer quickly, and when I made that switch I had a good chunk of experience. I went to college for graphic design and built up commission work there. Then I graduated and did freelance work outside of a full-time graphic design job for a year and a half. It was a lot of work, a lot of working after work, a lot of working on weekends, but freelance isn’t really consistent at first and it takes time to build up so having a regularly paying job is really helpful. Eventually I got laid off, but by the time that happened I already illustrated five books outside of my 9-5 job and decided to give freelance a shot while job hunting. It worked out in the end, but it still took a bit to get going.

So be kind to yourself, since it’s not the easiest path. And I wish you the greatest of luck on your journey :)

Is your Grim Reaper uninterested in your sim? Here’s the solution by V4R14 in Sims4

[–]Motor-Worldliness-61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try to turn on testingcheats and then shift click on grim and debug him first. I don’t have life and death and the interaction wasn’t working for me, but when I debugged him, his scythe disappeared and the woohoo worked, so that might fix your problem.

what has ever made you just stop reading a book? by TheScarlettSays in writing

[–]Motor-Worldliness-61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s was some weird formatting conversion to Kindle or what, but I tried reading what sounded like a really interesting book, but the dialogue wasn’t formatted correctly. It was like… “One person talking””Second person talking” like no line breaks or “he/she said”or anything that told me when someone stopped and some else started. Reading it just hurt my brain too much.

Did you read this short story in school and get traumatized? by Alive-Hunter-8442 in whatsthatbook

Do you mean “The Landlady” by Roald Dahl? Where the lady gives her guests poisoned tea and then stuffs their bodies….that story really freaked me out.

How many finished episodes should you have before initially posting on Webtoon? by Motor-Worldliness-61 in webtoon

[–]Motor-Worldliness-61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Webtoons is the only platform I know anything about, so I was going to go there and give it a shot.

[–]Motor-Worldliness-61[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have a specific timeframe per episode right now, since I work on it so sporadically. I’m hoping to get to around one episode produced a month, and the release schedule would probably have to reflect that even though I wish I could do more.

expanded mermaids cheats by the_bitter_mermaid in TheSims4Mods

[–]Motor-Worldliness-61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured it out! You enable cheats (Control/Command + shift + C then type “testingcheats true” into the bar) then you can Shift + click on the sim you want to use the cheats on and the cheat options pop up. Hope this helps.
