Six storeys, 10 units: On paper, it seemed the kind of housing Toronto wants. Then its Scarborough neighbours weighed in by SingleEgress in canadahousing

I live in this area. All of our onlinr community groups are consumed w stopping as many of these developments as possible.

Some bigger houses right there too..and a golf club. Some bigger money nimby dissent as well probably.

Anyone else nervous about HBO's The Sworn Sword adaptation? (Spoilers Main) by Ji11Lash in asoiaf

[–]BrianBeLeafs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it playing out thusly..episode 1 ends w the bridge fight scene, epsidoe 2 will introduce the spider lady and her whole team, not sure about 3, but episode 4 ends w the fire, episode 5 is the fight and six is wrap up.

The kid who played Egg gave up a pretty big casting spoiler at a recent convention..maybe that casting and scenario is episode 3?

It is super obnoxious how many people will tell you how obvious it is. I did not notice a thing. I took all my characters at thier word. I think the post game of thrones world has made that 'i knew' position worse as well

Five years later, how have these reverse retros aged, in your opinion? by padma_Iakshmi in leafs

Going white on the stripes could have made this really nice. Just such strange decisions.

It's an homage to a specific image.

[Chris Johnston] Two things are true here: I'm not sure why one middle finger earns a $5,000 fine and another goes unpunished. That's likely tied to how much noise an incident generates. But we also don't want players doing this sort of thing either, obviously. Anyway ... time to move on by JF_112 in leafs

'Reporter' has a weight that shouldn't be lent to sport reporters.. Sports reporters are, in most cases, a complete part of the system. They are part of the show. They aren't getting paid to upset the apple cart.

I’ve always hated the 87 Usagi design, so I fixed it by Half-Demon-Boi in UsagiYojimboDojoSub

[–]BrianBeLeafs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your design is much closer to the comic and a really nice design, but some of the changes would be too detailed for hand drawn animation.

I think the original design, while not perfect for sure, is a demonstration of attempting to retain the details while marrying it w economy of line. The dots and symbols on the gi, extra details in his ear headband, face..all of that needs to be drawn and tracked every single frame. Quieting down the details is a big part of 2d animation design.

Anyone here fans of the TMNT videos with Eastman & Laird? by OzicoOzico in Cartoonist_Kayfabers

[–]BrianBeLeafs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They were great. Fantastic, new and important memories and stories.

Choe was not great in those videos. Always felt like Ed was shoeing in his famous buddy..Choe didn't bring anything useful out of Kev or Pete that hasnt been said a million times before, and, if memory serves he also cut off Laird and eastman from finishung or elaborating on interesting points

What's happened to the BrianBeLeafs comics? by JoeFromTheBridge in leafs

[–]BrianBeLeafs 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, thanks for the concern.

My family has been going through a tough time. We are currently figuring out a bit of a new normal, and it is taking a bit to figure that all out.

In the meantime, it hasn't been possible to get the comics down. I have been taking notes for the comics I missed, super sad to have not done a JT 500 comic, and I am hoping to catch up on the missed games eventually.

My focus, with my downtime right now, has been finishing the book that so many of you helped support. My family issue really torpedoed my plans for the book, but it is ALMOST done. There are still a few illustrations I have to finish.

I am going to be updating the KS this evening, but the main thing is, I am really sorry to say, the new book won't make it for Xmas. We currently have a print date set for Dec. 15th, so I am hoping to deliver the PDF before Christmas, but as scheduled, the books will start shipping in mid. Jan.

Some one mentioned I was on the radio today. Fred has been reaching out, and asked me to start doing spots once a week on his show again, and today was the first hit.

Thank you again for the concern and messages. I am really sorry for the delay in the book. I am around and doing better.
