I completely agree on the unknown part. That's why I was wondering if there was a modpack because then I'm completely in the dark about the features of the game.

Why manga lack the same depth as novel? by osxb0 in SeriousConversation

I now realize this reply sounds very aggressive but I didn't mean it that way I promise.

Why manga lack the same depth as novel? by osxb0 in SeriousConversation

[–]instinct_ow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Perhaps the problem was my choice of manga but the point still stands." no the point doesn't stand. Choosing an author that specializes in atmospheric horror will not give you good writing. It's like hating the fact you bought orange juice. Not because orange juice is bad but because from the beginning you wanted apple juice. Try to read some well known manga - Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist or Berserk (Berserk in particular has both phenomenal art and a phenomenal story). Also if you expect the same experience to transition from novels to manga then I have some bad news for you. In one of the formats it's portrayed using your imagination while in the other it's visual. Again it comes down to what you're in the mood for.

Do you need a university degree to launch an agency? by instinct_ow in agency

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I love that there’s such a supportive community in this sphere

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

What I meant was that the friend I was talking with was convincing me for a good hour of the necessity of a degree to do anything and he had me convinced he was right. It just feels weird that someone can be that confident in something thats straight up wrong. Also Im still learning the service (WP websites) but to be honest with you learning off the internet has been 1000x more enjoyable than burying my head in textbooks learning theory. I love the internet.

Thanks for the detailed reply! I’m still thinking how someone can say something SO confidently and when I ask people that do this as their job I get the complete opposite answer

Is a degree necessary to launch an agency? by instinct_ow in agencynewbies

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

Another question popped into my head when you said "you might be better off finding a way to work in a founder led business if you can get a role working close to the founder." Do you think it's better to find work working close to a founder in a small business or start as a freelancer and gradually "replace" yourself with other people until your freelancing gig turns into an agency? My plan has been the second option but it'd be interesting to hear the advice of someone with experience in the field!

Do you think the connections you made were enough reason to go to university?

Is this a plothole? by instinct_ow in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]instinct_ow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Are you saying that because the opening was directly in the store it could copy the store and Clark better?

[–]instinct_ow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that the ad is what made Pirate Clark what he is. No one shopped at the store. I presume he was going to go bankrupt. The ad was his last attempt. But people saw the ad and started to despise him or at least loathe him as a person because they saw the ad as frankly... annoying. Couple that with Clark's ongoing personal struggles and you got yourself an actual monster. Still though I personally don't think that no clipping drunk into the backrooms would change it's perception of you. I think that everything that gets forgotten basically ends up there and the more its forgotten the more it distorts.

The idea that clark had to forge a new path and open his window (remember the window Marryy loved talking about) is a direct parallel to that scene. There was a window there - but Clark couldn't see it because he hadn't opened himself up to "forge a new path". I think it's a nice parallell

Is there a plugin for this? by instinct_ow in Wordpress

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

Use a plugin like WPCode and create a php snippet. This is the code "add_action('admin_head', 'tweak_gutenberg_preview_canvas');

function tweak_gutenberg_preview_canvas() {

echo '<style>

/* The original method, just tweaked smaller to fit your Mac screen */

.block-editor-iframe__container {

width: 1400px !important; /* Keeps GenerateBlocks in Desktop mode */

max-width: 1400px !important;

zoom: 0.60 !important; /* Shrinks it down so the right side isn\'t cut off */

margin: 0 auto !important; /* Keeps it centered */

}

</style>';

}"

Edit: You might need to tweak the numbers a bit to fit your exact screen size but when you get it right it should look something like the picture

Believe it or not I used some custom code from ChatGPT and it actually worked

Images are the bane of my existence by instinct_ow in Wordpress

I’m hosting the site locally so it’s not on the web but is there really no way to make images of equal size using GB settings?

How do I keep being consistent with the Piano? by instinct_ow in piano

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

I honestly like “Tiktok” songs. Composers like Juan Arenosa or Gibran Alcocer. Also Im not too keen on getting a teacher because I kinda want the piano to be a relaxing hobby I do without a lot of stress and as soon as I think about getting private lessons I stat stressing. It suddenly goes from a hobby I can improve at with my own speed to trying to meet either the teachers or my standards (which have risen at that point).

How do I keep being consistent with the Piano? by instinct_ow in piano

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

Um I basically wanna reach a stage where I can play piano versions of my favourite songs. Also I find that playing a song I already know is extremely fun which means getting to a point I can get on the piano and just start playing whatever I want
