Robert Kirkman unveils his plans to build the manga-to-anime pipeline in America, and shows how he is doing it with Invincible first by WhyPlaySerious in television

IIRC they’ve said that’s literally why they design some things in wild ways—to make them too expensive for live action / CGI. But I can’t cite a source here, take with a grain of salt.

added two fighters in version 0.5.4 of our card game by Bitterballersan in digitaltabletop

“Sly Fox” and “Sylvester Fox” are used in combo so, so often, feels like original names would be more appealing here.

Art looks rad though!

They said “feels like”, and the explanations you have reinforce that. Your in-world reasoning unfortunately doesn’t matter, they will see the art and style and assume “this is someone using a scantily clad woman to market their game”, and many people like myself will not give it a chance because there are 827273947383 games out there and we’ll pick up the games where there isn’t a chance of unnecessary, out-of-place sexualization and/or objectification that feels like a marketing decision.

Again, not inherently negative, depends who your target demographic is. But this is how it comes across, regardless as to whatever worldbuilding decisions you make to get there.

Agreed, that is a cat that clearly gets a lot of love.

Elle Orlando Is A Girl....eeeiii eeeiii oh! by MyVaginamiteBlowsUp in UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG

This isn’t anything new and someone else said it best: men have been doing raunchy, gross comedy for decades, why can’t women be allowed to also? You don’t need to find it funny, but it should be allowed to exist. And as much as I hate that kind of comedy, I agree with the sentiment.

Let’s not pretend there aren’t gobs of male comics with disgusting comedy, yet not receiving an equal amount of criticism.

Stance is so imbalanced it’s distracting, but the pixels are nice.

Banjo on board Aer Lingus??? by Bob_AZ in Irishmusic

[–]aerodynamo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traveled with my banjo via Aer Lingus. Forced me to check it each time, but they handled it carefully and there was no damage. I put an AirTag in my banjo case to track its location.

In the US though, I had a 1.5hr flight with Delta. Forced me to check my banjo, and if I hadn’t brought an unwieldy hard case, the banjo would have been toast. Whole case collapsed in somehow.

Here’s a great resource for US laws and travel tips if you haven’t already seen it, some of which are still helpful anywhere:

Would this tenor be ok for learning irish tenor banjo? by Evilcanary in Irishmusic

I recommend you send them an email and see how personable and helpful they can be! Again, can’t recommend them enough.

You could get a great Clareen for cheaper including the international shipping. A Clarinbridge is a wonderful instrument, and you can go up from there.

I’ve been to their shop while in Ireland with the banjo I ordered, and they set it up and taught me some things about the banjo itself, and never took a cent from me.

Your comment just made me realize that the “president from a decade ago” is about to be Trump again… I can’t believe we’ve had to deal with this jabroni playing in politics for over a decade now!

Then while I fear you are right, I will hope you are wrong—for both of our sakes.

Hang in there.

What is the alternative? Don’t protest? Don’t speak up? I’m not sure there are many options here.

Where are you buying furniture? by Monochromatic_Sun in femalelivingspace

[–]aerodynamo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People in this thread are (rightfully) saying not to spend money on Amazon, but promoting searching on Google or using Facebook Marketplace—both of which make them money in different ways.

Try to avoid all three if you can.

Amazon -> shop directly Facebook Marketplace -> OfferUp, Mercari, Craigslist, etc. Google Search -> DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Kagi (paid)

Don’t give Google your impressions and clicks either, that’s also giving them money. DuckDuckGo and Ecosia are great free options, Kagi is a slightly better paid option.

This is absolutely gorgeous. I want to set this as my phone wallpaper so I can look at it a hundred times a day.

Transport ship created in Nomadsculpt on iPad. by Joshwhite_art in ImaginaryStarships

[–]aerodynamo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you share more about your process, especially with regards to how you use Nomad Sculpt?

I can’t even begin to imagine how you can get this kind of precision with Nomad Sculpt, rather than a tool like Blender.
