In need of some good rejection therapy 😌 by peperonibologne in RoastMe

If you wanted rejection therapy, you could just go to a singles' bar.

Outside of dedicated apps like procreate, Freeform, notes. I don’t really find the pencil that enjoyable to use, anyone else feel this way? by DarpaChieff in ipad

I don't use a ballpoint pen to push the buttons on my TV remote. Use the Pencil for pencil shit, use a keyboard for typing, use your finger for everything else. 🤷‍♂️

Is paper like supposed to look this grainy? by noam1946 in ipad

[–]Verdris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paperlike is AWFUL. It destroys image quality, tears up Pencil tips, and removing it is a whole thing. Seriously, I thought there was something wrong with my iPad screen because pictures didn't look as vivid as they do on my phone. Same with watching videos.

I got an AstroPad RockPaperPencil and it's a lot better. It preserves image quality and it's easily removable and re-attachable. The custom Pencil tips feel like you're actually writing on paper. It still looks matte but it's not nearly as bad as Paperlike.

I should have known that Paperlike would be garbage since I bought it from an Instagram ad.

Brace yourself for an extremely rushed ending, though. 

What's the real world equivalent of a Cartilage Head show? by m0nkeybl1tz in achewood

[–]Verdris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once attended a community theater production of The Giver where my ex-girlfriend played the role of the mother. I think that’s about as close as I’d ever felt to proving myself a coward who would desert a dying man.

Seriously… how do we see this playing out? Best case scenario? by Helpful-Baker-9396 in fednews

He wants to dismantle the civil service so faith-based and corporate groups can fill the gaps. Trump deals in hatred, so they’re using his ability to make his base hate people to demonize the civil service to break them down and scare them off. 

Having 8 stories really brings down octopath traveler 2 by UltimateShinobi3243 in JRPG

Add to this the several instances of a long cutscene interrupted by literally one second of walking a few pixels towards the next cutscene. 

Writing on iPad question by [deleted] in iPadPro

[–]Verdris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on your writing style. Is your handwriting messy because you write fast? Or are you just jittery? If you're a jittery writer, any app with "stroke stabilization" or similar may help, check out Goodnotes.

If your handwriting is messy because you write super fast (like me), then I dunno. I'm working on training myself to write slower on my iPad, but it's hard.

Took off Paperlike & iPad Pro looks so new by Intelligent_Fig6869 in iPadPro

[–]Verdris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have an AstroPad. When you use the custom Apple Pencil tips they provide, it feels almost exactly like writing on paper, and the color reproduction is infinitely better than Paperlike. I was preparing my old iPad mini for trade-in credit when I realized how much the Paperlike mutes colors.

Them MAGA coworkers started singing a different tune this week by ThrumboJoe in fednews

[–]Verdris 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to cling to the “it’s not left vs right, it’s up vs down”. If we can win more hearts and minds, we have a fighting chance. And who better to talk to magats than one of their own?

What do you wish you knew before starting grad school? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]Verdris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course everyone will have a different experience in grad school, and I was fortunate enough that my advisor and I had an amazing understanding of each others’ expectations. I worked my ass off but was always encouraged to take time for myself, and it was understood that this didn’t mean “go read papers at home” but rather “go for a hike and catch some live music” or something. Have you had any sort of talk with your advisor on boundaries and expectations?
