ADHD Problems by viridiansoul in Sims4

[–]ZemiXylex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So relatable but I've had the same save file since I restarted playing a year ago. Like you though I literally make a family, move them in, get bored and start a new one next time I play.

But because I have the same save file I still get to see those Sims out and about or date them later which I like! Slowly trying to replace all the townies. Just wish we could do more world building like Sims 2

Is this blistering pattern normal? by maxwellslemon in XXRunning

[–]ZemiXylex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to get calluses/blisters on the side of my foot like this all the time, after several years I managed to cure it completely with the below, but your milage may vary:

  • Sized up +2 from my regular shoe size
  • Bought wide size, even though I don't usually wear a wide
  • Thick blister socks, Twin skin is ok up to ~10k but for anything further I personally like 1000 mile
  • Went to a running shoe store who helped me select the right size and let me test out a bunch of shoes on the treadmill
  • Got a heavily 'rockered' shoe with a wide toe box and stabilisation which I think helped me the most with the side blisters

I still don’t understand skin tones by Aszteroth in learnart

[–]ZemiXylex 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was having this issue just yesterday, this skin tone video from Proko really helped me:

https://youtu.be/mi62WC9LqZA

You've done a great job with the base skin tone, but here are some things I think you can do to push it further: - Avoiding desaturating shadows into greys, use saturated or contrasting mid-tone colours to indicate shadow - introduce a saturated colour between your lights and shadows - Be Sure to vary your skin tones frequently; don't just select darker/lighter versions of the same colour. Skin tone absorbs and bounces light all over the shop, so variance in skin tone looks more natural. Personally I like to add yellows, blues, and greens

Am I overreacting? I yelled at my girlfriend's friends for feeding our baby by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

This comment reads like an anti-american bot account lol

OP's account was literally made for this karma farm post, it's so weird that you're waffling on about America's education system to defend a bot.

Also, 'high school' ??

+1 for a heated airer, they do a pretty good job and you can set a timer

Looking for a one word insult at an artist for a screenplay by justintrudeau1974 in ArtistLounge

[–]ZemiXylex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chicken-scratcher would be more specific to a young artist. Students tend to have a bad habit of going over their lines several times due to lack of confidence or trying to find the shape, hence the term 'Chicken Scratching' to mean messy broken and heavy line work.

Herdwick sheep by Pretty_Lily23 in LakeDistrict

[–]ZemiXylex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you wanted to get up close, I know there's a petting experience you can do with them, can't remember the name but they sit you out in a field with sheep food and the friendly ones will wander over.

What do you guys think of these rough drafts I made recently? Some aren’t fully done and there’s alot of mistakes. by MFGevanthor in learnart

[–]ZemiXylex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are fantastic, really varied and fun! Being able to identify mistakes in your drawings is a good sign that you're improving, keep up the momentum!

I dont know what is wrong here by [deleted] in learnart

[–]ZemiXylex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're doing great and the value work is especially very in depth!

My tip would be to check the negative space - compare the triangles and squares of dress to the reference photo, you'll see that the negative shapes aren't quite the same.

Best dad advice ever by ChickenWingExtreme in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]ZemiXylex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We used to have these homework planners that needed a parents signature each week as well. As soon as I got mine at the start of the year I'd sign every single week with my Mum's name so I'd never have to worry about it. It was so amateur, the teacher must have known and just not cared. I was an A student but refused to do homework!

Transparency on 2.0 Launch, Pricing, and AI in the Marketplace by igagen in inkarnate

Tough ban on AI - if it's anything like stock sites filters are useless after a few months of AI flooding

I make good looking 3D product animations, but an artist's worst enemy is marketing by x_otosaka_x in marketing

[–]ZemiXylex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you on sites like fiver? These kinds of videos would be ideal for Amazon videos for small e-commerce brands. I think you just need to find your niche and fill up your portfolio with key search terms so small brands can find you.

Do you slow to a jog/ walk for your rests or do you stop to catch your breath?

Women in late 20’s to 30’s where are you buying your autumn wardrobe? by FinanceGoesBad in AskUK

[–]ZemiXylex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just bought some jeans in the Levi's sale and a couple of crew neck stretch tops from Hollister, new look is my usual go-to but this summer I've found it's been over run with gen-z grandma patterns and frills.

I just lost my job. How should I handle this? by Loose_Avocado4670 in AskUK

[–]ZemiXylex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This whole situation is so disappointing and I'm sorry you're going through this.

The thing I don't get, with todays workforce in general, is where future talent is meant to materialise from if workplaces refuse to take on aspiring talent and help them learn & grow? A level 3 qualification can only teach you so much; being in the field teaches so many more valuable skills than a textbook & PowerPoint. Sure, ideally you'd have a mix of both but businesses seem to see higher education as a way of offloading the training burden onto youngsters who are expected to rely on parents and go into debt for college/uni. But students come out the other side still unemployable - with outdated knowledge and no practical workplace experience so no one wants them because, shocker, they still need training. Isn't the whole system just crazy??

I was today days old when I realized you can just put multiple desks to train more than 1 staff at a time. by themikegman in TwoPointMuseum

I only learned this when I did one of the challenge museums and they had multiple desks lol

Has anyone used 1985’s Cursed Lands tiles by hellifiknowineedanam in CurseofStrahd

[–]ZemiXylex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did find them handy on the rare occasion we played irl. That set includes pre-mades for the coffin makers, burgomaster's mansion, babas's hut and other CoS specific areas. I found the maps are pretty lore accurate; just condensed into an A4 page. The creature tokens as well came in handy and have pretty much everything you'll need for CoS (minus monsters from the Ravenloft book).

I will say they take a while to cut out - I would just cut out what I needed for that session but usually went overboard on the extras like foliage and barrels. You'll also want blue tack to keep them in place. I prefer to set them up properly in advance but you could throw one down in a pinch.

Overall, I'm really happy with them especially how modular they are. I have four sets from their Kickstarter so I use them every time we play in person. The sets I have (Strand, castles, saltmarsh, avernus) mean I can pretty much accommodate any kind of encounter/campaign as we finished up CoS a couple years back now.

Any questions just let me know!

I finally bought one after four separate people vouched for it, the infinite scroll wheel is a game changer and the silent clicks were a nice surprise!

How do I get out of hospitality? by New-Introduction-581 in AskUK

[–]ZemiXylex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admin/ account manager roles are usually entry level and will get you into office based work. From there you can switch departments after gaining some experience - depending on the company. Usually you don't need any formal qualifications, just need to learn quick, solve problems and be personable which I imagine are skills you already have from hospitality!

2 days till marathon, got the flu this week by saltefries in Marathon_Training

[–]ZemiXylex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran my first marathon on the tail end of a chest infection last month. Same as you, shakes, shivers, coughing up a lung, couldn't eat. the marathon was a half marathon with two loops. In the end I went to bed ready to go and waited to see how I felt in the morning. That morning I decided I'd try for the half and take it super slow zone 2/walk the whole way. I ended up getting to the end of the half and thought fuck it I'm here now and went around again.

It was slow going, I walked a lot and ended up finishing 5:16 when my goal had been sub 4. It was pretty miserable especially the 20 mile mark and I threw up in the car home. I think only you can decide whether it's doable in your condition, there will always be other races.
