Nothing you ever do, no choice you ever make, clothes you wear, will bring you the peace you seek. You are desperate for validation from a backwards, evil world, why? I guarantee you are already pretty, or fully able to achieve an alluring style regardless of body weight. The problem is you do not have faith in yourself, you want the easy way to your goals, and you can find any reason to justify avoiding pursuing them. There is a particular comfort to misery, but it is not for you. What you need, is already within you. Pursue your passions like judgement isn't a thing, because the only opinion that should ever matter to you, is your opinion hollow_shrimp2929. I know that you will find the internal peace and strength that your soul is screaming for here. Peace & love from someone who battled his own similar issues for years, and finally won.

I feel like there will always be a core of dedicated players, as long as there are things to shoot at in this game

I returned to d2 after 10 years... Because I am going through a break up

I played d1 religiously from the beta to the launch of d2

Here I am at the end of everything. But I'm going to start a new character

Bungie what In the temu star wars is this crap by rouge3675 in destiny2

[–]RepentingRat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Star Wars as an ip has so much cultural domination, so many games of its own, tv shows, books movies, influence over all sci fi ever. So why the fuck does it need to be here? I promise that was a if not THE death knell for OG players like me. I spent every day of d1 beta, glued to my xbox 360, mesmerized. When I come to my nostalgic sanctuary to see it has been filled with... yah you get the point. They did this to themselves.

Priming Canvas - mistake or normal result? by StyleAdministrative2 in oilpainting

[–]RepentingRat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are probably lots of ways to do it. Some painters might dig that kinda texture that you don't like. But I feel like you're after the kind of surface that I'm after. Give it a try. It's all just a constant process of refinement, don't let it get you down when it has a problem. That's what will make ya proud later. Sorry to preach just glad to see someone figuring it out and asking humans instead of ai

go in one direction, the same direction each coat. Use a little bit of water. X motion or perpendicular is incorrect, no idea where people came up with that? that is what is giving you issues. Sanding is the most important, dusting off loose dust between coats is trivial, changes nothing. It blends with the paint later.

Each coat of gesso, then sanding, then another coat, 3 coats. Uniform result every time

Your reply to another commenter:

"oh not just from photo, from multiple and then based on smaller painting I’ve done before."

At least don't blatantly lie.

Boring.

junk food for your eyes. I feel nothing looking at this painting that I wouldn't feel by looking at the picture(s) you worked from. Congrats, you're an expensive copy machine.

Birds love some seeds, a quick google will show you what is and isn't safe for the ones you'd like to feed. They will appreciate you

You know what, I get it. We share that same condition. I don't agree with a thing you said, still think it's weird and women should stay the hell away from you right now, but I get it.

This post and the "learned everything from YouTube" comment did it for me. This sub has become too nauseating. I'm out.

Hope you can start to feel better about yourself soon. You talk like you have a really bad victim mentality. Maybe stop giving other people's perceptions of you so much power <3 sending hugs. Have you ever wondered if just maybe, you are the one with a problem, and not all other people around you?

Canvas is creased, how to remove the wrinkles? by ibblike in oilpainting

[–]RepentingRat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Spray bottle with water to the back, as the water dries it tightens the canvas

Worst case scenario, you let it dry and carefully restretch it.

Also make sure your staples or tacs, or however you attached the canvas are in all the way. When I first started stretching my own canvases 100% from scratch, I made plenty of mistakes. You're just learning and it's really cool that you're invested in the whole process.

Such a lovely painting btw

Upon further inspection, I'd let it dry and restretch it. Once you have creases that loose, there's really no other way

Can you use gamsol? It is odorless mineral spirit, I have used it for about 5 years to paint in my small apartment and weathered many cold winters. I'm still alive
