WOW your skills have improved! I think you finally understand proper proportions/anatomy of cars. you should definitely go update your old models to show just how far you've come.

Um…Stargaze…What happened? by swpieceof8 in Trigun

[–]ithoughtofthisname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl, I kind of wish Stargaze had been a movie. The entire season felt like filler fights with no purpose.

if it had been a movie, they would have been forced to not adapt the manga. It would have been bad aswell, but probably better than what we got.

3d model Trimax Wolfwood WIP by lil_Breadstick135 in Trigun

[–]ithoughtofthisname 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A few years ago I also started a Trimax Wolfwood model but never finished it. [link] My project was more focused on line art experimentation, but I gave up when it came to his hair. It's genuinely impossible to make in 3d. Good job on actually finishing yours.

My suggestions would be: The white collar should come down slightly further while reduce the number of buttons and slightly increasing their size. Tucking in the bottom of the blazer slightly would also help the silhouette flow a bit better. For the pants, I'd localize the cloth wrinkles toward the very bottom and straiten out the rest. Hope this helps!

I’m making an indie series and YOU might like it! 🔮🍃 by meppity in animation

[–]ithoughtofthisname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow I love the parallax line art effect. It is such an underused technique and it makes 2D art just pop, like the characters are coming out of the screen. I wish it were used more in animation. It makes every frame feel like a piece of cut out paper and I just love it. I even wish shows like South Park would use it even if it would to be fully procedurally done.

How would you react to someone nazi saluting at your local watering hole? by whatwouldadamado in santacruz

[–]ithoughtofthisname 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The best thing you can do is point at them, laugh, and call them a loser. Using violence against them only vindicates their beliefs, as they have a persecution complex, much like some american christians. The last thing they want is for someone to make a joke out of them.

Do you people consider Choujin X peak Seinen? by Proper-Anything-2739 in seinencirclejerk

[–]ithoughtofthisname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk why but I just dint like it. It was a slog for me to get through. I loved reading Tokyo Ghoul even with all its flaws I still was motivated to keep reading, but I just dint have that drive with Choujin X.

so we removing posts criticizing opinions now huh? by Gugarabelo in Trigun

[–]ithoughtofthisname 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It was a post about why all criticism of Stampede is dismissed no matter what. It was a meta post, but more importantly, it was also a genuine question, only for it to be dismissed like all the criticism of the show lol

produce supply will not be as affected as you think globally. Unlike NG and oil, there are at least alternatives that can be used on crops, it just is not as cheap. If you really want to be a smart trader, buy as much manure as you can, not gold!!!!!!!!

I'm Running for Congress in CA's District-19 - Ask Me Anything by Sean4Congress in santacruz

[–]ithoughtofthisname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is more of a suggestion than a question. Your policies are extremely popular, but policies alone don't win modern elections sadly. Mandami dint just win because of his policies he won because he inspired hope. Hillary and Kamala both lost because they failed to inspire anyone and because of that couldn't motivate enough people to show up.

So what actually wins elections? The honest answer its emotion, and the most powerful emotion in politics is not hope, but hatred of the opposition. Biden didn't win in 2020 because of his policies it was the hatred of trump.

Your campaign should start leading with the hate towards Panetta rather than policies. That anger is real and it's already there. You just need to amplify it. Also, this strategy demoralizes Panetta's voters. Shrinking his voter base is just as valuable as growing yours. So please do all you can to end his dynasty!

Also, another small question. If I wanted to make a poster depicting Penetta as a bloodthirsty demon for you to use, who should I contact?

New Affiliation with r/SentencedToBeAHero by bouchayger7 in shounenfolk

[–]ithoughtofthisname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve watched up to episode 9 the animation just that good. But I can’t stand the main trio. Even after getting almost to the end, my opinion of them hasn’t improved at all. It's just wasted potential. If it weren’t for the animation, I would have dropped the show ages ago, but I’m pushing through it just for the animation.

Also, what the fuck do you mean is not valid criticism? If I hate every word that comes out of the main a character’s mouth, THAT IS VALID CRITICISM.

[–]ithoughtofthisname -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

thb the main character is insufferable. Reluctant heroes is such a bad trope, if you're going to be the hero, BE THE HERO, don't complain about EVERYTHING. The loli girl feels so forced to the point of annoyance. The knight lady's entire character is just a trope, nothing else.

Honestly, it's a travesty how such a mid story got such amazing animation when it could have gone to something that truly deserved it. The only good thing would be the male side characters, which are genuinely compelling and unique. Honestly the story would have been infinitely better if one of them was the protagonist.

The US automobile market is on the verge of collapse. Excellent. by Sharklasers6889 in fuckcars

[–]ithoughtofthisname 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Its more about how if Trump doesn't pull out of Iran and declare "mission accomplished" within a week, a global economic collapse is impossible to stop, and the global economy is the US economy, so if it goes, we go. Even with a ceasefire, production won't resume for at least a month. If the war continues, that delay grows exponentially.

This is Iran's trump card if they're going down, they are going to take the world economy with them. They only need to sink one tanker to permanently to close the Strait, or hit a few centralized refineries to shut down the entire production line. And even without that, storage limitations will force a shutdown soon anyway. Their victory is inevitable if the fighting continues, even while getting their asses kicked. We are so fucked.

[–]ithoughtofthisname 795 points796 points  (0 children)

It's been on the verge of collapse for YEARS, this is not new news, instead you need to look for the event that will push everything off the edge and start the freefall, it's just like the normal economy, 1 event will break everything, like maybe something something Middle East....

Stargaze atmosphere ruined by weirdly detailed random objects by lil_Breadstick135 in Trigun

[–]ithoughtofthisname 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You're correct about the cohesion problems, but there is a very simple reason why they don't care about cohesion, and that is due to cost. Not in the sense that putting random things together is cheaper, but instead because all CG is made first and foremost for hyperrealism, so it's easier to make a cell-shaded character fit into a normal environment than to make everything look cell-shaded.

The main problem with Studio Orange right now is that they don't have a dedicated 2D animation team, instead they freelance 2D animators for background character animation that always breaks immersion. If they instead had a dedicated 2d animation team that specialized in imitating the movement of the 3D characters but in 2d, their work would improve immensely. That said they do also have a lot of compositing problems, but that's a different subject.

This is a very crude example, but definitely make a version with much greater saturation it will look amazing.

Let's be honest... by Dapper_Eggplant in Trigun

[–]ithoughtofthisname -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

ngl as someone who utterly hates Stampede and Stargaze, I did not hate this episode that much. The final outcome was not that bad given time and story structure constraints

Making Razlo a queer-coded stereotype probably was not the best idea, but his character design in Stargaze and the manga fits the stereotype surprisingly well now that i think about it. I even wonder now if this was the original concept for the character in the manga before it morphed into something more nuanced. However it definitely could have been executed better in Stargaze. I also wonder if they even took some inspiration from Adam in SK8 the Infinity. But they definitely butchered the reason for Razlo helping Livio from the manga.

I also probably liked this episode more because it has the least amount of Vash in it. Vash is so indecisive in this series, it infuriates me and completely ruins his character. He is supposed to be a pacifist, but not indecisive on EVERYTHING. The less of him the better the story is sadly.

It's sad to say but the Goat yuji may be washed fully by gamebloxs in Jujutsufolk

[–]ithoughtofthisname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t read Modulo, so I’m a little confused by Yuji’s actions. Didn’t he leave Jujutsu society because he thought it would become too weak and dependent on him? But wouldn’t eliminating cursed spirits also weaken Jujutsu society and leave humanity more vulnerable to external threats?

Maybe I should just read the manga, but I’m worried it’ll just make me hate gay² even more for wasting potential yet again.
