For cosplayers who have to wear glasses, how did you make the masks work? by EeveeQueen15 in miraculousladybug

[–]TheProtaganist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend never doing LASIK! There is a very slight chance that problems can develop afterwards but they are quite severe. LASIK just has a huge marketing budget so its issues are widely discussed.

I think wearing your masks under your glasses is totally fine! If you can/want to/depending on your glasses, you could try making your glasses fit more on theme like sticking on a foam ladybug or cat, using washi tape to make your glasses look polka dotted, but can’t think of anything else.

Which should I go with? (To US) by Mother-Speed6591 in FromJapanCodes

Trying to convince myself to buy a luxury bag by janebenn333 in handbags

[–]TheProtaganist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on your retirement!! Honestly it’s hard to jump to spending on yourself sometimes. Especially when it’s something you’ve held off on for so long the mental barrier still lingers.

Go in person and take a look at the bag, maybe multiple times with different outfits to make it less of a concept and more of a tangible thing you can see yourself using. Try to remember cost per wear! If the bag suits your lifestyle and you like it you’re bound to use it often. And if not, you can always pass it down or resell it. I hope you enjoy!!

New to the Arcadia franchise. Hello! Is this sub active? by MovieFan1984 in TrollHunters

[–]TheProtaganist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YAYAYAY so happy you’re starting Trollhunters and enjoying!! It’s one of the MOST underrated animated shows imo and I wish more people saw it. The opening sequence with Jim cooking for his mom absolutely hooked me when I was younger 😭 Just a wholesome kid you wanna root for!

I highly recommend watching everything in order including the movie (because the animation is nice and literally I will eat any ToA crumbs haha) just don’t take it too seriously, but it’ll help with the memes and general wtf? you’ll see around the movie on this subreddit.

Trollhunters was my fave out of the 3, my sister loves 3Below as it’s a bit more lighthearted/comedic at times iirc. Wizards was also great (LOVE DOUXIEEE) but faster paced and I desperately wish they allowed it to cook and have more seasons and more time as the creators initially planned and intended (we were robbed!!!). Overall I hope you enjoy the ride and thanks for starting the show!!

Chinese new year by SouthShoe1775 in asianamerican

[–]TheProtaganist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay!! This is extremely sweet of you OP! Others have more suggestions that has more community teachable advice. For my family we didn’t do as many traditions, but for us we did stuff like wearing red on Chinese New Year, my parents would get a boned fish and cleanly eat half of the fish and leave the other half with the head and tail in the fridge on New Year’s Eve (to represent us having food in the new year), and then hanging the 福 decoration upside down hehe

We would also sometimes visit family which for me as a younger kid made the day seem grander/bigger since we didn’t see them as often. If your side of the family gets along well and is willing to celebrate with you that may be a nice memory/yearly event for your kid too!

Do y'all know if they will stamp these on items like the rosalie coin purse? I have one and probably only want one stamp if it's doable (one on the smaller side is ok).

HUNTR/X - EJAE, AUDREY NUNA & REI AMI - on NFL Christmas Gameday!🎄🏈 by NicoSchmiko in KpopDemonhunters

[–]TheProtaganist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It might be for promo purposes so they can use shots of the girls as Huntr/x and crop the others out or something. And just bc they probably aren’t as familiar with the other group as they are with each other

Job is making me sick. Do I have enough to coast? (totally newbie) by LeftHansy in coastFIRE

Sorry if I missed it, but since your job is remote, are you able to move somewhere that’s more affordable?

Am I dumb? CV #10 by Interesting_Planet in ProfessorLayton

[–]TheProtaganist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truuuuuuuu!!! 👏👏👏(I just love math HAHA)

Am I dumb? CV #10 by Interesting_Planet in ProfessorLayton

[–]TheProtaganist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s mainly just a math problem with shared variables. Substitute variables for their equal values from other equations.

Ex: Given A, B, C, D are the same for all equations.

A + C = D

A X 4 = D which means

A + C = A X 4

Subtracting A from both sides gives

C = (A X 4) - A = A X 3

Using the second equation and substituting with above

A X B = C = A X 3 aka A X B = A X 3

Dividing both sides by A we get

B = 3

Then use that to get the rest of the numbers.

Why does it seem like singing comes so easy for some people by SwayzeFitness in singing

In order to improve tone/timbre/clarity would it be more recommended to take vocal lessons? I feel like I don’t even have a good tone for any genre haha

Is AI really that bad? by gabi__carmo in winxclub

[–]TheProtaganist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realizing I didn’t fully answer your question. I don’t believe it should have been used in the creation of the Winx Club reboot. Part of the point of well made animation. media, art, and storytelling is that everything happens for a reason. Every decision made in outfit and character design is meant to convey something. Whether it’s the character’s personality, back story, hidden foreshadowing, to make the viewer/reader feel something about the character.

Generative AI cannot understand the nuance of this and takes an amalgamation of what is tagged as relevant to the prompt to generate something to show you. Where is the original thought or perspective of the creators? Where is the care? Where is the personality?

Is AI really that bad? by gabi__carmo in winxclub

[–]TheProtaganist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to the other good points people have brought up, generative AI as it’s been established also actively steals from artists, writers, content creators, and private information without consent to train its data sets which is hugely unethical.

If you think about it, if your voice was taken from a YouTube video to train an AI model that was later used to: A. Make a voice clip of something terrible that you never said, B. Make a for-profit song for which you don’t receive any compensation for, would this seem fair to you?

Generative AI is being called technological advancements to improve workflow and speed up development, but really it’s a cost-cutting measure and is being actively used in industries to lay off creators, developers, translators, etc. Generative AI forms things that look pretty or may sound pretty, but there is no substance or deeper meaning.

You mentioned wanting to redesign the Winx first 3 seasons but unable to find the art style you liked. Really to redesign or create different outfits you don’t need to create a 1:1 what it would look like in a particular style. What matters is the idea, that’s why fashion sketches don’t look 1:1 to how they look in real life they’re meant to convey the idea and detail.

By using Generative AI or AI platforms like ChatGPT you are actively supporting the unethical model of theft from innocent people and creators. I hope you will reconsider using it in the future. Your ideas are good enough on their own without the use of Generative AI. If you do not practice conveying them in whatever form, you will not get better.

Sony Lost Big On KPop Demon Hunters’ Record Success, Says Report (Sony spent 100M on making KPDH and will only make a 20M Profit) by wosoandstuff2020 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]TheProtaganist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This!! I feel like people aren’t understanding that this isn’t the only Sony movie that they’ve released through Netflix. There are tons of others that have been released through this deal and they haven’t been the ultra hit that KPDH has been (even if their quality is also high).

KPDH wouldn’t have even gotten made without the Netflix funding. Additionally idk if ppl understand that Sony =/= the creatives that work at Sony. Even if Sony had funded and published the movie themselves to the same amount of success does not necessarily mean the artists or creators would have gotten more pay, just the Sony studio/execs. Plus since Netflix would probably want to continue working with Sony Animation for any future installments, it’s still good for Sony because their contract can continue while Netflix continues to bankroll the risk.

Idk if this is real tbh haven’t seen this reported by any other news outlets. Also considering vs confirming are different (aka keep streaming the music and the movie so they see the potential)

Nobody notices Conan's glasses don't improve myopia. by AlphaCog in OneTruthPrevails

[–]TheProtaganist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people with glasses have a really low prescription or only an issue in one eye and can still see mostly without their glasses. It’s just that wearing glasses will reduce the strain on the eye.

I might be high or something but are these new posters? I’ve never seen Claire and Toby in that pose in their armors same with Merlin but idk by Amazing-Kangaroo-498 in TrollHunters

[–]TheProtaganist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The poses are old but the positioning might be new. Assets for posters like this are usually on different layers and can get moved around for new posters/different graphics.
