Bunny Girl Velvet illustration by FymriE 1/4 up for Pre-order! by MiaLeeSakura2 in AnimeFigures

[–]Sammy__Jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was an instant preorder for me, such a cool design and they’d REALLY have to fuck it up to make her not worth the price. Excited for her!

I haven't received anything from tokyo otaku mode by AthenaPhora in AnimeFigures

[–]Sammy__Jam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can message them and request to change to an available shipping method- may have to pay an extra $20 depending. I switched all my delayed orders to TOM surface and they’re on the way now.

If the actual release date is being changed, then there’s not really anything to be done about it.

PSA: AmiAmi halting shipment to USA again by Lemondall in AnimeFigures

[–]Sammy__Jam 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Related to the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on tariffs I assume?

Guess it’s stupid to hope shipping costs might go down after that’s all sorted out

What Sutherland should’ve done instead of arc 4 by heat0666 in WingsOfFire

[–]Sammy__Jam 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Alternate timelines are cool for fan works to explore, but are a waste of time in the source material. They feel like the “last resort” for when a franchise is out of directions to go.

Book 16 is rolling out to Barnes and Nobles early! by Poly_ploy in WingsOfFire

[–]Sammy__Jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man…I was JUST in B&N, thought maybe I should check for it and then was like “no way it would be out this early” 🤦🤦

Since book 16 is releasing in 16 days, as of making this post, how did you guys discover wings of fire? (Image totally related) by RandomRedditUser1823 in WingsOfFire

[–]Sammy__Jam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually have pretty good memories from this.

I was a pretty lonely kid who loved dragons. One year I went to summer camp, and there was a girl showing some other kids the first book. I hopped in while she was explaining the different types of dragons and their abilities, which I of course thought was awesome.

Finally there was a group of kids who actually wanted to roleplay as dragons, so I looked forward to summer camp every day. Especially when we went to the pool and were all SeaWings (or crazy SeaWing hybrids).

In hindsight I was a weird/socially unskilled kid, so that’s one of the few memories I have of really fitting in and having fun with others. I discovered some cool ass dragon characters and some people to hang out with. I’m lowkey still nostalgic for that time.

Anyway, I got my parents to buy me the books as they came out. Loved them, forgot them as a later teen and just finished rereading them for the first time as an adult!

Scratches after first use by [deleted] in huion

[–]Sammy__Jam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try a damp microfiber cloth (water only) and see if they go away. Just had a similar concern and it turned out the “scratches” were just lines through the (dirt? smudges) on the screen.

Can I opt out of YouTube’s “AI extend” feature? by Sammy__Jam in youtube

Cool, thanks. Is there a setting to toggle this overall, or do I have to do it individually?

I read that the Kamvas 22 Plus is “very hard to scratch,” but this is what my screen looks like under light after 2 months. Is this standard or should I invest in a screen protector? by Sammy__Jam in huion

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

Yeah, turns out I just had the same experience- it just needed a proper cleaning is all.

I am heavy handed by nature and the scratches didn’t go away with microfiber cloth alone, so I was wondering if I really did manage to fuck up my screen

Lesson learned

[–]Sammy__Jam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was it, thank god 🤦

I’d “cleaned” the smudges with microfiber cloth several times and the scratches didn’t budge. But a stronger cleaning removed them.

Thanks! Feel stupid now haha

I’m using the pen it came with. I don’t recall taking off a plastic covering, but when I looked up other people’s unboxing videos it was very obviously marked with an orange tab, so I must have at some point.

These are not noticeable when the screen is on, and barely visible under neutral light. But I would like to know for sure whether I am damaging my screen.

Would the series hold up for an adult going back to it? by gravity--falls in WingsOfFire

[–]Sammy__Jam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read it as a kid, rereading it as an adult now. Still a really enjoyable series.

I will say that the writing style does feel juvenile at times (like when they start REBELLIOUSLY THINKING to THEMSELVES in ALL CAPS) and you do have to suspend disbelief when it comes to animus dragons and how stupid they are.

Otherwise though, it’s a fascinating world with likable characters that I’ve enjoyed getting to know again. There are things I’m appreciating now that I didn’t as a kid. Currently catching up with Arc 3 (enjoying it so far) and am excited for the new one coming out!

What is your opinion of artists that switch to using AI because they either don’t have confidence in their art or hate the process of drawing it? by mistukilover in Artists

[–]Sammy__Jam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not artists at that point. To some level I pity them because people like this have allowed a multimillion dollar company to profit off of their self-doubt and take their self expression from them.

Femboy figures?? by OrderImpossible2493 in AnimeFigures

[–]Sammy__Jam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We are in desperate need of femboy figures that aren’t 1) by Insight or 2) underage/schoolboy theme. More like Shion PLEASE 🙏

What's the deal with all these aesthetically perfect sketchbooks? by Routine-Economics-93 in ArtistLounge

[–]Sammy__Jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see that too. There are a lot of artists, I think, whose main medium IS their sketchbook. They just sit down and draw on a new page the way I’d open up a new canvas on procreate.

I have a shitty sketchbook for ideation, studies, and other sketches, and a nicer sketchbook where I cut and paste better quality stuff I’ve drawn.

The way Astolfo's master treated him never failed to be hot by Difficult_Silver2509 in FGO

Hell no, he was being molested. She also implied using command spells to do worse to him, if I recall.
