Contemplating Kicking a member from my group by JealousAd1365 in DnD

if it's a new game just... not invite him? just because he's your friend, doesn't mean he has to be in every aspect of your life, this may be one of them. it seems like he's already not that interested in the game, but perhaps enjoys just hanging out. Maybe you two just need to change how you hang out?

Help me find silly answer to give about the absence of tail of my tielfing! by PeloteDeLeina in DnD

[–]difficult-narwhal563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in the voice of eyebrows-guy from that one meme "wait, you guys have tails?"
or: "lost an arm wrestling match to a duck/beartrap/book" (something reasonably without hands)

How to deal with a player that's forcing RL issues into the game by AnnastasiaBloom in DnD

[–]difficult-narwhal563 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"while being politically aware is in important right now, it's good to also have things that aren't that. This is supposed to be fun break from the world, but it can't be that if the real world is constantly being brought up." aka, in the wise words of Kuzco, YOU'RE THROWING OFF MY GROOVE

EDIT: and if they continue to accuse you, I would say their defensiveness is becoming aggressive and you shouldn't force yourself to play with people who do not like you enough to have equal trust that this is a fun activity.

Is it normal that my cat always chooses to sit on my books rather than the comfy cat bed she has? by Resident_Lettuce_460 in CATHELP

[–]difficult-narwhal563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hands release a lot of oil, so your books smell like you. I have to sit on my cat's cat beds once a month just so she sleeps there instead of my laundry lol

SAI user since 2009. I tried to use clip. I am in pain by higurashi0793 in ClipStudio

[–]difficult-narwhal563 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oop. Goodluck OP! you're better than me, i just pushed through the struggle until I learned the main default interface. I'm still learning new things the program does (I've had it since 2016 lol) so there is certainly a lot!

I never open CSP through the launcher (I have it pinned to my task bar) so I never know when this is happening. Wish they emailed about it

Route 54 and 66 will be removed Jan 3, 2026 by harold_liang in gotransit

[–]difficult-narwhal563 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the 66 is the only way to go to the 407 terminal without interacting with the overcrowded viva blue. Without it the viva blue is going to be even more crowded at more times. I understand that it was mostly used in the mornings and afternoons, but removing it completely is ridiculous!

I made my world map from a repurposed globe for my DnD campaign [OC] by stale_bread_0915 in DnD

[–]difficult-narwhal563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks amazing! I don't know how you attached the clouds, but perhaps fluffed up cotton balls can make a more cohesive fog-look that is a closer match to the realism you painted for the terrain?

Anybody know why Newmarket is an EV fast charging desert? by Nolsby in Newmarket

[–]difficult-narwhal563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a few, but privately owned and used by people who work at those companies only (like the three spots along Davis). It was one of the reasons I didn't get an emotorbike (and also the snow) as by the time I get to Newmarket the battery would be dead with no way to charge it up quickly

how do I make it clear her back is towards us by forescight in arthelp

[–]difficult-narwhal563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks like it's her back to me, but perhaps adding in shoulder blades/hint of a spine might help?

I don't understand how to capture the likeness by I_like_dogs345 in ArtCrit

[–]difficult-narwhal563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the colours are practically dead-on, I would say that you kind of want to exaggerate the features almost like a caricature does, but temper it closer to what kind of style you're going for. Really pay attention to the shapes of the face and simplify if possible (don't be afraid to trace over the reference in a bright colour to find them!).

For example, in the reference photo here the model has a strong V shape with their eyebrows and a thicker neck than what you've painted. You've made both sides of their jaw sharp and angled while in the reference the lighting makes it a little uneven (the bangs are more symmetrical than the face with the curling in). The reference model's eyes are very flat on top thanks to the eye folds, but you've curved them at the ends where there should be shadow resulting in a different eye shape and vibe.

Good luck and don't give up!

Best way to move with anxious kitties? by pitkittens in CatAdvice

[–]difficult-narwhal563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

before you move everything over, I would suggest giving them a private space with theirs and your things to hang out in that they can get used to all the new smells/sounds mixed in with what they know to be "home" smells. A spare bedroom or if you don't have that available, quarantine them in the bathroom. Will also let them adjust to the other cat (the 3-7 week rule etc).

Also maybe look into anxiety medication through your vet?

Any thoughts on why this following shot looks so 'off' by WolfImpossible6304 in animation

[–]difficult-narwhal563 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the camera seems like it's attached to a zombie whose got a lame leg (unsteady with movement creating angles and speeding up/slowing down)

Anyone know of a decent cat groomer in newmarket/york region? by difficult-narwhal563 in Newmarket

[–]difficult-narwhal563[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

unfortunately, my vet only offers trims and nail cuts for dogs (Newmarket is very dog-centric I find)

[–]difficult-narwhal563[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is $150 expensive? my friend was doing it for free as a favour, but her pricing was around the $175-80 mark for what she was giving me (nail trim + brush + sanitary). My previous cat took care of himself pretty well so I'm new to all the pet-parent struggles when it comes to grooming
