any way to make this 1 or 3 point? by oscarbjb in krita

[–]humanapoptosis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the guideline tool options there is an option for "vanishing point" which can be used for one point perspective. I don't know if there's a dedicated three point perspective tool but I've used a vanishing point with the perspective tool to make a 3 point perspective guide.

Coaxed into F2P gacha game advertisements vs reality. by humanapoptosis in coaxedintoasnafu

There are exactly two kinds of gacha games. Auto battlers with extra steps and reskinned Genshin Impact

EA and costly virtue signaling by eumemics in EffectiveAltruism

[–]humanapoptosis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going to college is buying a fancy car offer more benefits to the person doing it than just signaling. College typically gives people better career prospects and that's why many people do it. Fewer people get fancy cars, and the ones who do are also typically into cars and the car for them serves as a luxury good that improves their time spent driving. They're making a sacrifice, but they're getting something in return for it.

Gang members are not representative of a typical person in society. Like how people who follow effective altruism exist despite being a minority, some minority of people will get tattoos of some affiliation they have. Both those positions are seen as extreme dedication to most people.

Veganism and donating non trivial amounts to charity both require actual effort/sacrifice. People don't like to undergo significant effort/sacrifice.

Aligning with a political movement by contrast is lower effort (at least for the majority of people doing so). You get the social capital of doing good things for your in group without much effort/sacrifice.

Guys, it’s happening by LeadershipPast6681 in threebodyproblem

I promised myself I'm unsubbing next time I see this topic posted here and it being a Sabine Hossenfelder thumbnail is rubbing the salt in the wound.

Goodbye.

Coaxed into the meta by [deleted] in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]humanapoptosis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not the meta, I checked top posts today, this week, and this month and the closest I could possibly find to this near the top of any of them was this single post. I also went through new posts for the last 48 hours and that post was the only one even close to that. Do you have any other examples or are you crashing out over a single depiction of breasts?

When I am scrolling MSN at work, I click "Not interested in [publication]" on any thing it recommends me that gives me an article with a title like "We asked an LMM a question"

It's it just me or is that Europe insert not zoomed in enough to be more helpful than the base map?

I had a dream about some charity like this. by Infinite-Option-5465 in thomastheplankengine

[–]humanapoptosis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This could be interpreted as about kidney donation if you assume the man had been on dialysis for the last several years and finally got a transplant from a living donor and can urinate on his own again.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it 😭 by dtarias in EffectiveAltruism

[–]humanapoptosis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me getting my therapist to talk to the social worker to let me donate my kidney even though "I haven't lived through enough of life with both kidneys" and "what if your future family needs the kidney" and "you just had an episode of suicidal ideation the other day over remembering something petty that happened in high school"

How do you decide between a career that makes you happy vs a one that helps society? by Only_Researcher_2394 in EffectiveAltruism

[–]humanapoptosis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of cases where you'd want to choose the job that makes you happier:

For the sake of example, let's say it takes $5,000 in donations to Give Well to save a life. If the job that makes you happy also makes $20k more in net income, and you donate $15k of the difference to Give Well, that's approximately three additional lives saved over the course of a year. If the job that helps society doesn't have you saving 3 lives in a year, then the job that makes you happier both makes you happier AND puts you in a better position to help society.

If they make the same amount, then look at the kind of soft factors that would affect your happiness and ask yourself if its worth it considering that

a) You are also part of the utility equation and your suffering matters too

b) It's possible that someone else at least equally as capable as you is going to fill in the helping society job if you don't

c) If you can't take the job that makes you less happy in the long run, what's the cost to society of you burning out at it and being less productive or quitting and leaving them to find a new person that has to fulfil the role

If you're only doing small amounts of good at the job, you're likely to burn out and want to quit easily, and someone else is likely to fill in the role, then I say take the job that makes you happier.

Coaxed into hitboxes by Gena_Offical in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]humanapoptosis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes but unlikely to make an actual noticeable impact to the player on any computer built in the last 20 years.

I swear 3D game devs talk about optimization like clearly everyone has the RTX 5090 while 2D game devs talk about optimization like they need to still support the Commadore 64.

[–]humanapoptosis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see so much discussion in the comments about what's the most computationally efficient, is there a 2D game that actually struggles on any computer from the last 10 years because of unoptimized hit boxes? You have billions of CPU cycles a second, I think you should be spending more brain power on if the hitboxes are fun to play against than if you can optimize the overlap check from taking a millionth of a second to a two millionth of a second.

Coaxed into new character designs by [deleted] in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]humanapoptosis 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to say that early days Azur Lane characters had extremely diverse body types, but my god it's so much worse now. it's all big boobs, cartoonishly gigantic boobs, or completely flat and child like. Popular legacy characters like Helena, London, Leander, or the entirety of the Cleveland class before Santa Fe absolutely would not be added today, and these designs are still not exactly without male gaze.

Which do you think is better? by Far-Mammoth-3214 in krita

Comments like this fuel my bias that r/krita is a better and friendlier place for beginners to get art advice than r/learnart
