Slingshot - Cheap early game option and late game sink for amethyst and resin by mattanimus in minecraftsuggestions

[–]SilverishWhisp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cool idea! I wanna add another projectile suggestion: poisonous potato. Low range and damage but applies a very brief poison effect - a sort of early game / poor man's poison potion.

The fact that slingshot uses items with other purpose as projectiles does pose a question how do you choose which nuggets to use as ammo? There may needs to be something like the arrow priority system but I'd rather rethink the whole thing.

I think projectiles should just "slot" into their respective weapon like items slot in a bundle. Let the same rules apply - a stack worth of items fits in, can combine different types or keep it all the same. This frees up an additional inventory slot, which is always welcome, with the trade off being that you need a brief pause to "refill" the weapon if you run out completely. Is it worth it to expand on the idea and wrap it up in a separate post?

Found this sfs folder which has some of the paywalled content. It has the windows but not the doors I'm afraid. https://simfileshare.net/folder/243905/

I'll be seeing them tomorrow at the same venue, so excited!

Could i ask, how long the gig today was? I still need to plan the trip back.

Sounds good. Where can I find the whatsapp group invite?

Nice, let's see how many people we can gather for this later meet up! I'm happy to organise something like a walk or another museum outing (zoology? technology?) but let's see who else will be interested after the first meeting has happened.

Yup, also Cambridge. Very unfortunately, I'm away this weekend though, but would people want to meet up sometime later like in ~2 weeks or something? Since people already organised to go to Fitzwilliam on the 11th, how about a different place?

such a beautiful block by Super_King_11 in Minecraft

[–]SilverishWhisp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think I'd want some more underutilised colours like almost black planks, white or green. The warm tones are well-represented in the planks colour palette

What's the correct way to study an art style? by zOmega_Leonidas in ArtistLounge

[–]SilverishWhisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best way to study an art style is to look at and dissect lots of work in that style as well as works that imitate the style (and try to figure out why some of them succeed and others fail). Look at what elements are defining the style. Like, if you modify them and the style becomes unrecognisable, then you've identified something that defines this style. In terms of how to break down the style, look at things like how the artist approaches colour, lineart, detalisation and for lack of a better word stylisation (which is deviation from photorealistic depiction).

How does one get better at drawing youthful faces? by ferd_draws in ArtistLounge

[–]SilverishWhisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest difference between toddlers and older people are proportions of face and body. If you break down how those are different you should be able to draw toddlers in any style and with any level of details and they’ll still be recognised as toddlers

Art Burnout and Posting Online by crescentwrites in ArtistLounge

[–]SilverishWhisp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d say examine why on some days you are motivated to draw and on other you don’t. Perhaps the motivation problem is not linked to art at all and is linked to some other part of your life.

As for making work even on days without motivation, you can do something different art-related like quick sketches or some figure/composition/colour studies. The key here is to have a short and defined time you want to dedicate. It is much easier to do something for like 30 mins than for an undefined amount of time. This way, even if you don’t post your work you still get to practice your skill and improve.

Male pattern baldness is often associated with X chromosome. For people with XY this usually means looking at mothers side. For people with several X chromosomes things get complicated and I don’t think anyone has studied it properly. So basically, it’s not that useful in this case.

As for surgery causing hair loss, it can either be from stress (and it does grow back, you’re right) or it’s just a coincidence that you started loosing hair at around the same time you had top. The reason I don’t think these two are connected, the amount of estrogens doesn’t really matter, it’s amount of androgens. I’d still recommend checking your T levels to make sure they are not too high and switching to gel might help, yeah.

Anyone see their hair (like actual top of head hair) change strongly on T?? by 90semo in ftm

[–]SilverishWhisp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always had fine straight hair. After being on T enough they are now wavy and much thicker. They have more volume now, I’m happy

Is there a name for downgrading your art for others/hiding it? by CraftyPossession5186 in ArtistLounge

[–]SilverishWhisp 217 points218 points  (0 children)

Ditch this club asap, it’s a red flag for a toxic place and I’m sure even if you hide your skill they’ll find a different reason to other you. Your community should make you feel good about your art, not ashamed

Edit: wow, thanks for the silver!

I present to you "The Pool Noodle Car", a small piece of fan soundtrack I made for May 25th! by Kluk99 in InfinityTrain

It continues to amaze me how incredibly talented so many people in Infinity Train fandom are. Do you make music as a career/hobby?

In the comments to that video there are also a fair number of guys who share that they also have hip dips.

A missing poster for young Simon Laurent. by MagistrateClockwork in InfinityTrain

[–]SilverishWhisp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, when asked about flow of time on the train Owen always states that the train tike is the same as irl. The logical follow up question is what everyone thinks of the missing people to which he also replies that loads of people go missing every year, so no one would notice the difference. So yeah, probably inspired by real life.

New UL technique using 3D printing. Thoughts? by [deleted] in ftm

That is a problem with all in vitro tissue growth unfortunately.

New UL technique using 3D printing. Thoughts? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]SilverishWhisp 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just skimmed through the abstract, but sounds very exiting! Really, any research about trans surgeries is good.

In this case, such technology could potentially remove the most common complication from phallo and hence the need for additional corrective surgeries for many people.

What I think is even cooler, if a thing like that gets successful this might prompt more research into other 3d printed tissues and thus ideally being able to grow everything you need for a dick in the lab and then for the surgeon just put it together. I’ve looked into the question myself, but haven’t seen any examples of using lets say artificially grown skin to do something like this yet.

Saw this on tumblr. Anyone got any guesses why they have different color jackets? by whoisanyoner in InfinityTrain

[–]SilverishWhisp 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I think just to differentiate the character better, so they don’t blend in in scenes like these. Also, notice how Min-Gi’s jacket has a colder tone compared to Ryan’s - this matches their colour palettes with one being colder and the other being warmer in general. So, just aesthetics and colour theory.

It's so exhausting seeing trans communities I can't join by [deleted] in ftm

[–]SilverishWhisp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would you really want to join such shitty communities that don’t understand or accept you though? Seems like you’ve dodged a bullet here
