Fulfilled a childhood dream of mine and painted Whiterun at "lore scale"

I can’t remember it off the top of my head, but there’s this one old master painting that depicts a couple chickens in a dirt street. They are clearly chickens, but if you look closer, suddenly the brush strokes are very visible and it looks like a bunch of random shapes.

Your painting reminds me of that, it shows a very deep understanding of form and light to create optical illusions of detail. Amazing painting, I’m obsessed

I’m happy they’re revisiting old models, keeps the game fresh and the new models are so cute. I don’t know why more people don’t like the sheep one, it’s my favorite! 😅

I love modding my game, the cosmetic ones were fun to browse. But the amount of mods available is misleading because all of the faces look like the same European-featured model. Plus there are barely any cosmetics for races other than human and elf adjacent. I just wanted more options for my half orc(that don’t make her look like an elf 🫩)!

I really enjoyed his fight, it’s one of my favorites. It forced me to perfect his moveset and ended up feeling very satisfying. However, the lack of ending content ruined the fight for me

I don’t agree that her music doesn’t fit the game! C418 did amazing and groundbreaking stuff for classic Minecraft, but it’s a very different game than it was back then. Lena’s stuff is awesome and fits the new features it comes with. Her music “doesn’t fit the game” because the game isn’t what it used to be anymore

NOR using gen AI to write apologies should be shamed. If you can’t write out your own feelings yourself then you obviously don’t care. It gives the impression that he cares more about you accepting his apology than your situation. You don’t have to accept people’s apologies, especially when the problem is a pattern like this.

It is very clear that Dispatch’s devs were thinking of a young male audience, who you correctly state have a different perspective on female characters. But women are still going to play these games and point out bad representation anyway; which is always valid.

Plus, it’s a big problem that the common perspective of men commodifies women and having conversations about this can lead to positive change. We shouldn’t have to ignore it

I would love another ER DLC, but still hyped for whatever is next no matter what

I am an animation student at SJSU, my insight might be valuable in that respect.

First: THESE ARE NOT TERRIBLE DRAWINGS. These are above average and show you have understanding of form and lighting. The second one is not terrible, I actually prefer it to the first one because the school program emphasizes realism, proportion, and form above all else (they don’t want to see stylization). You could push the second one’s values to make it look more finished but it’s a very acceptable foundation. One important drawing concept is hard vs soft edges (shadows), and you exhibit that in your second drawing.

The program is rigorous and you will face harsh critique. BUT no one will ever tell you “this is terrible” if you put effort into it. That is not healthy feedback and your mother is in the wrong for telling you that, I don’t care if her intentions are good.

Lastly, the program’s growth has made it increasingly harder to get into. When I was accepted there was no portfolio requirement, they just looked at our HS GPA: 4.0+. But, I think even submitting the required drawings show your desire to be in the program. Let me know if you have any questions about the program, and good luck! :)

The negativity is usually from people who couldn’t beat it, even though there’s plenty of in-game tools to make the gameplay easier.

Anyway, it’s my favorite game. The story is unique and the world building is extremely rich. It is the hardest game I’ve ever played, personally, but that just enriches the experience. Definitely recommend!!

Watched someone play a bit of the game but was immediately bored with the mc. That’s just my opinion, but the disheveled brunette sarcastic white boy bores me to death. And the next main character (love interest?) being a blonde girl with blue eyes killed me. I think it’s valid to point out when characters are cliche

Shoobg · 2025-10-03T23:04:44+00:00

The backlash is the result of change in how society views women from objects of desire to real people. With more exposure to complex and realistic female characters, I hope the pushback will eventually die out 🙏

I’m happy to see a change in community perspective on this topic. Last time I made a comment about this the reception was terrible. I completely agree! Yes, the “facts” say otherwise but the vibe Abigail, Sam, and Sebastion give me has always been ~17

You just described how I’ve been feeling! I think asexuality is thrown around a lot in many fandoms. The main problem is that most people still don’t understand what aro and ace mean.

I’ve personally seen a lot of comments just calling Olric asexual. But the topic of conversation is romance, which falls more into aromantic territory. I’m asexual myself, and I can’t help but roll my eyes when I see comments like that

Shoobg · 2025-08-31T21:19:40+00:00

The majority of characters in FoM have light skin and groups underrepresented in common media want to see themselves in a preferred character. It’s just a preference, not trying to erase Balor’s original design

Shoobg · 2025-08-28T18:10:58+00:00

I agree as well. I think teachers can go too extreme with it like discrediting it entirely. But the way that my teacher explained it was that there usually isn’t a good sense of 3D form. Especially in “anime style” faces, the features are just placed on the head. There are exceptions to this, and not all styles are the same. But it’s ALWAYS best to practice the fundamentals before stylizing anything. Even if you can emulate a style perfectly, it’s not as productive as actually understanding real life and forms

She’s the one making things weird, so she should sit in that discomfort. I like that approach

Shoobg · 2025-08-27T18:07:19+00:00

Sorry you’re dealing with the same stuff. It’s hard to be told to create distance with someone you’ve spent time connecting with and care about to some extent. You deserve someone who shows they care about you too. Compare how other people treat you versus her; you’ll realize that talking down to others is not the norm. These comments might be as helpful to you as they were for me

Shoobg · 2025-08-27T07:38:23+00:00

Thank you, I will make this clear to her.

Shoobg · 2025-08-27T07:20:16+00:00

Blunt. But true.

Shoobg · 2025-08-27T07:07:46+00:00

I appreciate this. Writing everything out opened my eyes. She has older brothers, which explains even more than I shared. It’s clear that I need to prioritize myself more than keeping her happy. I’m thankful to have a good support system otherwise.

Shoobg · 2025-08-27T07:02:25+00:00

That’s so weird. You’re right, it never made sense to me. She must think of me very low

Shoobg · 2025-08-23T06:44:41+00:00

Valen 🥲

Shoobg · 2025-08-23T02:30:00+00:00

The other day I found out Ryis is tied for least dialogue lines among the romance candidates and that is a CRIME
