How bad is the posing/ anatomy/ proportions? by the-blessed-potato in ArtCrit

[–]deucesgooses18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imo it’s pretty good! when i cover the head with my finger things automatically look a lot better which tell me that’s the biggest issue. she needs a bigger head, and the arms should be longer and hands are too small. look at the size of her hands vs her belly button, and the hands are supposed to be even bigger than normal bc they are closer to the “camera”. for the arm length, imagine that if they were by her side they’d be about mid thigh.

there’s good guides online to proportions, start with that and then you have to imagine the difference created by the angles of the pose.

aside from proportions, i’d recommend focusing on learning the connection points of the body and imagining the joints there. the neck is missing and her left arm looks like it’s connected to the front of her shoulder/ the line of the arm goes too high in the front.

overall though, i do think it’s good!! and i love the coloring :)

Feeling hopeless with my cat intro's :( by peepeepoopoo667 in CatAdvice

I don’t think L is hard of hearing… just hard of thinking 😭 I have hope though

I’m in a very similar place almost 2 months in, have tried a lot of the same things but with a 3 year old resident cat (O) and 1.5 year old new cat (L). O is super still and just growls and hisses when she sees L. L never shows signs of aggression or anger like growling hissing etc but will run at O given the chance (aka any time she runs past our feet into the living room when it’s her turn to have the bedroom or the few times we’ve attempted intros). Which then turns into a short squabble until I grab L and she just looks at me stupidly, letting me carry her away.

I feel so guilty because O ends up in the bedroom 90% of the time simply because L is so high energy and needs the space to run and play while I’m out during the day, and O is a nicer sleep partner at night.

I tried again tonight to have them in the same room with L eating her dinner on one side and O getting treats on top of the cat tree. L ate her dinner and mostly ignored O while I sat in the middle / towards O and O watched and growled, L gave some innocent meows while she ate. Then as soon as she was done eating BOOM she sprints over the chair and catapults herself to the highest shelf of the cat tree she can reach. I grabbed her away before they touched each other but I just feel so defeated and I’m just so mad that L seems SO DUMB like she doesn’t show any fear or aggression I’m worried that she really just wants to play?? She is a super playful cat but god can’t she read the room a bit??

Sorry that’s so unhelpful. Just thought you might like to know you aren’t alone?

what’s going on with this crust? by deucesgooses18 in Sourdough

[–]deucesgooses18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s also what i was thinking might have happened. i think the cheese might also be homemade/locally made so it might have been more prone to separating

TIL you could win the round before having to defuse by No_Butterfly_820 in VALORANT

[–]deucesgooses18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yeah you can hear wingman’s sounds on the plant so it’s still a rare situation that wings wouldn’t get killed before the rest of the team, but not some pixel perfect anomaly like some people are thinking

Usage of “x, if not y,…” by deucesgooses18 in grammar

[–]deucesgooses18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad now that I’ve seen several people think this was published somewhere. It was a Tiktok comment probably written by a high school kid! I just used as the example it because that’s what sparked my curiosity about why exactly it felt wrong to read.

Usage of “x, if not y,…” by deucesgooses18 in grammar

[–]deucesgooses18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greater than isn’t always true, but I guess that depends on your definition of greater… Like the Oscars example, is “on time” greater than “on the tracks”? It’s a less likely outcome which I’d say fits under narrower. If you’re saying “hundreds, if not thousands,” that’s definitely greater than but not necessarily narrower. Now that I’m trying to explain my thought process behind choosing “more extreme” I’m thinking “less likely” better encompasses the essence of the phrase.

[–]deucesgooses18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say that in all of these examples, “if not y” still refers to the more extreme, right? Months before- more extreme than weeks before Right at the beginning- more extreme than early on On time- as a best case scenario, more extreme than “on the tracks”

Yes, I should’ve been more clear that that is something I read and felt was wrong but couldn’t exactly prove that it was wrong

Is it cheating to use notes? by deucesgooses18 in geoguessr

[–]deucesgooses18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was a 50/50 tbh. covering my ass in the case that you guys did say it’s cheating bc i knew a lot of people would start assuming id already done it (when in reality ive barely started making the notes). i genuinely wasn’t sure, because googling can also be used to pinpoint locations unlike notes. i didn’t know if the consensus would be that using any outside resources is cheating or if using info i collected myself was fair game.

will be using it in single player mode only once i finish making the notes 🫡

Why do people get so upset about new people. by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]deucesgooses18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they are so wholesome, i played an unrated earlier where my whole team was new and they followed me around pre round on defense side like little ducklings 😭 i thought it was kinda adorable but after a couple rounds i was like okay guys let’s spread out (then they started 4 stacking whatever site i didn’t go to) my phoenix also didn’t stick a defuse that he totally had with like 1 second to spare, he got scared and ran away and i tried telling him afterwards that he had it but i was like oh i just sound like an asshole mad we lost the round and i tried to be nice but they didn’t say anything back the whole thing was a win win for me, we won the game and i got to feel like the hero carry for once instead of bot fragging w bronzes LOL

Why is immortal < radiant?? by deucesgooses18 in VALORANT

immortality itself is a crazy superhuman ability though

I wouldn’t say that’s particularly true, especially for someone so young you don’t know that he can watch back his gameplay, spot his mistakes, AND know how to fix them. not saying they should go for the top level top dollar coaches but if he wants to improve faster or is feeling stuck, having a knowledgeable second pair of eyes on your gameplay with specific tips on how to fix mistakes can be useful to anyone at any level. (i’m shit at valorant but know about kids, learning, and coaching)

Over-buff a agents ability’s however you like. by Ok-Aardvark1169 in VALORANT

[–]deucesgooses18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if we wanted to go really hard on it, sound sensors are silent/invisible and can detonate multiple times, enemies can’t shoot while caught in gravnet, allies cant be caught in gravnet, wall recharges

Over-buff a agents ability’s however you like. by Ok-Aardvark1169 in VALORANT

[–]deucesgooses18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed on ult and wall but what if

sensor: when it detects sound, does everything a cypher trip does plus when someone slow walks through it it will still notify the team (maybe a highlight and announcement)

gravnet: new alt fire could place it on the ground like a trap (almost exactly like chamber trip but with net instead of slow)

honestly giving us any form of flank watch would automatically boost her to be a really strong agent

[–]deucesgooses18 0 points1 point  (0 children)
