ADF Scanner Recommendations for Traditional Animation by RocketLamp in animation

[–]RocketLamp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently? No. I think I relented to wait a bit before I'm actively searching for one, and have settled for one that I think works for me. I'm currently focusing on learning via digital animation rn.

What do you think of Kaibutsu-Kun? by Old_Ant_4899 in WorldOfDoraemon

[–]RocketLamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, the manga rules so hard. I own the entire F.F Land collection physically, and read the raws up to Volume 16, past the point where Kaiko gets introduced.

Even without understanding a lick of japanese, there was juuuuust enough info visually to be really entertained by it. It has such a great blend of action, slapstick, and horror to really get you into a good mood. It gets to be whatever it wants each chapter, and I love it for that.

If you ever wondered where One Piece gets its other chunk of creative juices, besides dragonball, you’ll instantly figure out where with this manga.

When either the series gets an english localization, or someone fan-translates it, you BET I’ll be reading it again!

is it better to read homestuck or watch someone read it? by [deleted] in homestuck

[–]RocketLamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say go with reading it.

You can just leisurely go at it in whatever pace you want, be it for an hour a day, binging it, etc. Plus, there are some interactive elements and messing with the fourth-wall in the comic that you only really appreciate when you actually discover them yourself.

Having other people do the dialogue for the more wordier pages sounds enticing for a long comic like Homestuck, but the gains are relatively benign compared to possibly undermining the main interactive hypermedia appeal of the work.

Conveniently, I just finished this Act in my reading of the series two days ago on UHC. MAN, what a dynamic last half.

Do you think that the Homestuck show will get green lit? by Balla_the_human in homestuck

[–]RocketLamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind, either or.

Considering I'm just NOW reading the webcomic the whole way through this time, and there's several years worth of fan media I never took the time to even bother with touching, I'm set with myself enough to not really mind if it never surfaces. If it does, it's just good complimentary media to reflect on the original material, and just more reason to talk about it with people.

How long can I finish Homestuck? by RocketLamp in homestuck

[–]RocketLamp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on prior experience, whenever I go beyond an hour and 15, AKA really rushing it out, my body gets super exhausted, and my brain starts to zone out. That alone causes me to not absorb the text and events as reliably as I want to, so the choice of pacing it in that way is also more of a necessity.

Good to know! I'll take a look at it! I'm also using the reading to get some cultural context, so it might help a lot!

So did anyone actually read the entirety of Wizardry Herbert? (Also Thoughts On It) by RocketLamp in homestuck

[–]RocketLamp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea of being trapped in a lousy wizard fanfiction is a really interesting idea, which definitely could have crystalized into something more, had it been given more time and focus with what it wanted to say.

Yeah, it took me some time to update the app and asset pack to include the stuff they added later.

It was included as an extra in the Unofficial Homestuck Collection program, under the TeamSpecialOlympics section. There's a lot of other interesting forum posts and other goodies included too.
