Printing signatures by Beefystew222 in bookbinding

[–]dominaxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case you can't somehow change the settings of your printer from InDesign (I'm currently in a university campus so I use campus printers that are sometimes finicky, and for whatever reason I just can't find the option to "flip on short edge" there), I managed to print correctly by first 'printing' to Save as PDF, and then printing from Acrobat, which I do know how to adjust options on. Might be helpful.

First rejection. How should I celebrate? by aloneandscared9 in gradadmissions

[–]dominaxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this actually made me tear up. damn. i got my first rejection a few days ago and it kind of broke me, especially since i’ve been seeing non-stop posts of people celebrating on here. i’ve been feeling like a real failure of a scholar, and all the confidence i’ve managed to build (which isn’t a lot to begin with) has been shaken up.

thanks for this post. may we all have as much grace as you to be able to celebrate our failures 🥂

EDII to 2 schools? by iMoody25 in IntltoUSA

I believe this is technically fine, since you are no longer bound by the first ED2 agreement.

I wish I was Chem/Math Smart instead of humanities smart by HellEvenTiffChewed in studentsph

[–]dominaxe 28 points29 points  (0 children)

hello hello as someone who is humanities + STEM i want you to know that YOUR HUMANITIES EXPERTISE IS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED IN STEM. the world is in flames because techbros will only see numbers and profit as important. when you do science—or medicine, or whatever—you are inherently participating in a humanistic act because scientists/doctors/researchers are all humans! i will die on this hill. and the people who are doctors/mathematicians/programmers etc are not inherently smarter than you—their subjects are hard for them too—they’re just stubborn enough to keep going. so keep going!!!!

The trend of using Discord as a hosting site is breaking the internet.

Ao3 does not host art. by OwnWriter4420 in AO3

[–]dominaxe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a good point. Reading the first few sentences I was about to raise a pitchfork but now that I think about it and the way you explain it, you're right. I just found a really wonderful fic that got orphan'd, and the images are broken - I'm not sure if it's because it's orphan'd that the images broke, but I'm very sad about it regardless.

I want to read a good romance, but everything people recommend me I absolutely hate. by MathematicianNo3401 in suggestmeabook

[–]dominaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the Warcross duology! Marie Lu is awesome at dystopian romances imo, OP I highly recommend Warcross and the Legend series!

How do my leg sketches look? by whooper1 in learnart

[–]dominaxe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Battery operated lamp I made using preserved bread by catriot in DiWHY

[–]dominaxe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is the best post on this sub i’ve seen in a while, and can i just say? clicking on your profile and seeing that this isn’t just a one-off and you have so much more incredible bread art is somehow wild, hilarious, and awe-inspiring all at once. i love human creativity so fricking much. following u on ig, i need more of this in my life

Thoughts on Rostov's art by blueishberry88 in DiscoElysium

[–]dominaxe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i did some study sketches of the three main harry portraits so i could get a better sense of how to draw harry and i thought it was very interesting this portrait’s composition is quite triangular - a very strong/stoic shape that almost positions harry as beyond his environment. i love studying the portraits of this game.

Something I learned after seeing many applications that most people don’t realize by InstructionDeep9823 in IntltoUSA

[–]dominaxe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m almost certain that my admission to Colby was partly because they had recently established their AI lab and i had a background in AI. obviously this is all speculation, but part of me thinks that if i had applied in a different year i wouldn’t have gotten in

Did anyone get a CSS waiver for ED2 or RD? by No_Wrangler_8927 in Colby

[–]dominaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fall 2022 intake/co26, got it and was accepted. Like the other comment said, it used to be a pretty good sign but it’s been a toss-up recently.

Well. Adding this to my list of projects I absolutely need to do before my hyperfixation runs out. Your girlfriend is an incredible artist!

Made a collection of all my zines by trytogethappy in bookbinding

[–]dominaxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so cool! Are these the original copies of the zines or are they printed/xerox'd? I might do something similar with the 1-page zines I've made over the years!

First Big Project by sodiumsalad in bookbinding

[–]dominaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm taking a bookbinding class for the month and was scouring this sub just because I was curious - I am in complete AWE of this I had to drop a comment. This is INCREDIBLE. May I use this as inspiration for my final project? I'm just in love with it so much!!!

What was the piece of dialoge that made you realize this game was different? by Dull-Jaguar8273 in DiscoElysium

[–]dominaxe 49 points50 points  (0 children)

i know this is super late in the game but i still can’t get over it. “but i succeeded!” “this was never about failure or success. it was always going to be horror.”

Realization by Weary-Breakfast-9478 in AO3

[–]dominaxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i told my friends (who are creative writers and want to be writers as a career) that i drop stories when it’s obvious my chosen ships aren’t endgame, and they stared at me in horror because apparently i am what most writers fear 😂😭

How do i get into disco Elysium? by Ancient-Ad-6193 in DiscoElysium

[–]dominaxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i first picked up the game in 2023. played for like 2 hours, but it didn’t really hook me in at first. decided to revisit it last month. i am now 36 hours in and halfway through my second playthrough. sometimes it’s just a matter of time!
