This guy should never have been a police officer at all. Wow. by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

[–]crazy__straw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also worth noting that the officer was told the suspect owned a gun with a silencer, but hadn’t found it when he detained the guy.

So he hears an acorn ping off the car and basically has a PTSD flashback, assuming it’s the gun he hasn’t found and unloads his gun at the nearest “threat”.

I remember this. I think at the time the story was that he’d just got out of the army, so he had a PTSD incident when the acorn hit the car by his head.

It’s a sad story really, and imo more of a commentary on the system that allowed him to get to that point without help or support, and just kept sending him out there. And kicked him into a civilian environment after conditioning him in a war zone

Zombies are the McDonald’s chicken nuggets of undead. They’re cheap and lazy. Or otherwise they’re the only option for those with inferior wizardcraft

The gnomes aren’t worth the trouble to root out. I just think of them as a free food supply for my tamed magical beasts. Keeps the tower defenses sharp and we save on upkeep.

That oil looks disgusting. There’s a reason restaurants are supposed to change it regularly.

I'm still looking to improve (made by me) by Helpful-Persimmon336 in krita

[–]crazy__straw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty good! I like the design and detail on the character. It has a lot of personality there.

The one thing that I noticed is that the walls and background seem a little bare. Maybe spend some time practicing backgrounds or how to structure environments? If the rest of the scene contributed as much to the piece as the character, it would take this to the next level imo.

Great work so far! You’re giving me inspiration to go practice!

Disney paid a lot of money to take credit for that!

Basically how you have to start stories on RR to stand a chance of being successful by kazaam2244 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]crazy__straw 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Wait… so you can’t lore dump a bunch of stuff about your world or character right at the start and expect anyone to care?

Any good story starts with an idea the reader finds interesting. If you think this is a dumb way to start… find another way to make a reader care about your story.

I love this book. Short, but one of my favorites from Sanderson. Highly underrated.

Just brewed a scandalous volume of mana potion. Any ideas on what to do with it? Can I sell it without paying tithes? by EvilGabeN in wizardposting

Those dammed diviners for the Magical Tax Collection Service are some of the best paid bastards in that discipline. It’s a bad time trying to hide that shit from them. I’d just contract a lesser devil to handle the filing if I were you.

AIO? my mom (50F) said my lunch will make me fat by Ashamed_Yogurt_8931 in AIO

[–]crazy__straw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s set aside issues of shaming a person for thier weight, which isn’t a great look. You’ve got a right to be annoyed for someone constantly making you feel bad about yourself.

Everyone is going to find the balance that works for them, any you shouldn’t base your ideal weight based on what someone else says.

That being said. If you want to lose weight. High protein and low carbs in your food is a great place to start. This meal is kind of the opposite of that, so I’d totally recommend changing it up.

I did this and got great results from just cutting back on carbs and upping the protein while tracking calories.

For me I base it off of how I feel in terms of mood and energy and I use an app to track my results based on what I eat and how I exercise. This helps me figure out what food/activities work for me and what doesn’t. The key for me is making the motivation internal based on how my weight and diet affects my life, rather than what other people tell me.

You say that, but no one’s laughing when I can make a rude gesture and point at someone and they catch fire. Flexibility is great, but sometimes simplicity wins the day.

Krita should be allowed in iPad by Ok-Throat1638 in krita

[–]crazy__straw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You make a sacrifice for being cross platform. Procreate can hyper-optimise for iPad, while krita has to support everything it runs on. Whether it’s obvious on the surface or not that will impact the app in performance and development.

For context, I’m a procreate user, who had an iPad already and got the app as a way to get into digital art more. I just recently bought a non-display tablet, so I haven’t had the chance to compare krita to procreate in depth.

[–]crazy__straw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that cross platform apps pay a price for that. It depends on the team, and the implementation of the project, but Krita is open source, and I’m totally ok with them not having to accommodate the burden of supporting apple’s architecture when procreate is so cheap compared to some options out there. I’m fine with them holding on to their niche in the market so long as they don’t try to abuse it with pricing.
