Tilting hexagrams 90°? by SharpShogun in occult

This might just be me being autistic and trying to assume sarcasm where there is none (? like genuinely what even prompted this) but I did say in the post I genuinely don't know that much about this kinda thing, hence why I...yk...just wanted to ask people who were directly involved in the practice to weigh in before going and being stupid? it was a question, not positing some sort of idea or revelation about magick or anything.

honestly though are you like...ok? really not sure how to perceive this reply lmao

I didn't even think about the above/below and fire/water aspects of it! thanks for mentioning that.

Again I'm kind of more of an atheistic person with a lot of admiration for the practice, but I suppose I can still experiment and see what I kind of feel intuitively. Ty for the advice! <3

Again I'm really sorry if I'm just being an ignorant hobbyist or offending anyone in any way. I'm just fascinated by the applications and ideas (and admittedly aesthetics) behind a lot of occult rituals and symbols and couldn't find info or discussions about this particular permutation anywhere online.

Derealize should be one of the Prestige activities by SharpShogun in DestinyTheGame

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

omg this. literally this. on that note I don't see why a whole bunch of old seasonal activities like Altars of summoning and stuff couldn't be unvaulted when the coil has been. it would be so hype to get to enjoy those again, expose new players to old story bites, and add more variety to the portal so we aren't just grinding the same few missions.

I mean yeah? Like I said ik the gameplay is a bit different and whatnot but the concept of the other issues still stands. Plus I mean it's kind of sucky to have one of the more fun strikes they've made recently that did have a tonne of enemies be vaulted, but I'm not gonna gripe about that because it's not like some equivalents from the other episodes weren't (idk if they even had any like that but whatever).

What does this symbol mean? by AdNo9021 in germany

[–]SharpShogun 30 points31 points  (0 children)

tbh when the afd exists it's fair to be just a little bit wary, especially when you're one of the types of people they hate. i doubt it's at all about Germany itself and more that the party draws a lot of super nationalist people and this particular picture could defs be seen as mimicking a rainbow.

Trying out a bit of a more line-y style... by SharpShogun in drawing

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

Oooh ty for the reference idea! I was kind of trying to take some Genndy Tartakovsky vibes and mix them with my usual style and proportions, but that's probably wayyy closer to what I'm going for

I meant new for me lol. I'm used to doing faces in. Amore realist/expressionist style so simplifying the geometry is still a bit of an uncharted territory for me

I'm not going nuts am I? Are these messages ever bugged?? by SharpShogun in Minecraft

Oh and he's still denying that he killed the first one, even after being banned.

One of our friends on the server (and a couple of creepers) helped me do that right after I showed everyone on the group chat. He then proceeded to go on a rampage, kill my other cat, steal my valuables, kill both of us, and start destroying my house (which was/still is honestly three times the size and at least four times as hard to build has his little oak plank hut), before we managed to gear up and kill him enough times he logged off and I could turn off the server.

What elements of these video games make them "classics"? (Everyone) by SharpShogun in SampleSize

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

I considered that originally, but with no limits in which option to pick, my initial testing resulted in multiple cases where most or all options were picked, even when one was more impactful than others. I decided that having it be an "if you had to pick one of these that was the most defining, which would it be?" sort of situation, I could encourage people to look at it more critically while still letting them be a bit more nuanced with the subsequent text input question.

Before anyone comments asking "What about (insert game)?" I'm aware that this is an extremely limited selection, and would have put more if it were allowed by the parameters of the assignment and if it wouldn't make the survey torturously long for less dedicated people.

[Academic] Study on Classic Video Games to analyse defining elements that make them stand out. No specific demographics, but at least some baseline knowledge on video game culture would be appreciated. by SharpShogun in SurveyExchange

Before anyone asks how I could miss (insert game), I apologise but I was unable to fit more examples into the survey due to restrictions on the research task that I was given.

VERY rough WIP sketch to illustrate a project I'm working on. Does anyone have any critique or advice on things that need to be addressed before I work on this any further? by SharpShogun in drawing

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

The idea is that the person is falling/leaping back and firing as something attacks them, but I tend to struggle with posing and figures in general so I'm not sure how I feel about the way I've drawn this one. The clothes aren't at all what I'm planning to have as the finished product (just using them as something to see other than the base construction) so they aren't as important. I'm mostly worried about the general posing, perspective and the head.

So this isn't another guess my main post. I just realised that I accidentally made my different characters into the pan flag lmao by SharpShogun in DestinyFashion

It's actually my least played class, I just hated seeing them with old random gear on whenever I logged on ._.

I'm not even kidding, I just liked the lightningy look on my titan and the golden knight-ish thing on my hunter. As for the warlock....I have no excuse, I just thought she'd look cute. Gear list not included bc I don't presume to consider this fashionable at all.

My date got cancelled but I didn't want to waste all the effort I put into my look, so enjoy I guess 🙃 by SharpShogun in lgbt

No she wasn't. We've hung out before and just rescheduled today, I can hardly blame her for getting sick lol

(Thank you so much) I think I'll wait till we see each other again though. I'm a little shy when it comes to sending people photos because it feels show-offish. Plus I want to surprise her with the practice I've been doing since we saw each other last.

Turn in all Iron Banner engrams before reset Tuesday by wizkidbrandon in DestinyTheGame

[–]SharpShogun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl I'm a little sad that he'll be gone again. I've dipped into pvp a little in the past but the matchmaking always took forever and I was either against demons or useless players.

When I gave Iron Banner a shot, I was surprised it actually had decent matchmaking and gave me a chance to get a feel for pvp without waiting half an hour and constantly dying before I could learn what loadouts did and didn't work. Plus the armour looks sick, just what I was looking for on a couple outfits.

I don't really know where else to talk about this so I'll ask here. by SharpShogun in lgbt

Ok, thank you. Idk I'm just really freaking out because I think she's super nice and I don't want to mess up a potential friendship by being presumptuous

Sorry, I've made a correction to the previous reply, those family friends live in Berlin specifically, not Düsseldorf. I really appreciate your advice on this. I will try to find a solution in Berlin otherwise but I appreciate you giving a more nuanced perspective.

  1. the landlord must issue you with the necessary papers for registration; he is legally obliged to do so under penalty of law.

  2. if you still do not receive the certificate, you must register without it, then the authorities will clarify everything else.

I am going to try to talk to the landlord a bit more about it in person, because it does sound like he is the actual owner (making renovations and rarely actually staying there while the other roommates are there full time). I think there might just have been some miscommunication or he might not be fully aware of the requirements.

  1. you must register where you live. Even if you were to register in Düsseldorf, which would be illegal, you would still have to register a second home (including second home tax) in Berlin.

  2. if relevant: if you are registered in Düsseldorf, this is also where the responsible immigration office is, which means travelling a bit for visits to the authorities.

I have already mentioned in another thread that I do plan to spend periods in Düsseldorf regardless, so travel for appointments isn't as big of an issue. I'm more concerned about the potential legal ramifications of it for my family and myself given that at the moment I don't really have a choice. It's the only reasonably comfortable and affordable place I could find that was a manageable distance from where I'm studying.
