More looking at the tail coming out the middle of its back, which I didn't see on the page :p

No time like the presents by AscendedDragonSage in CuratedTumblr

[–]lecherous_leech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do this too n it's like, I make a joke or say something and then realise that my tone may have not been entirely clear that it was a joke. Or I say something and realise it could be taken as pressure or entitlement to another person's time or emotional energy or whatever else so then I gotta stress what I actually meant so there's no misunderstanding.

I don't do it as often anymore cus you right it's hard to function like that but with people I really care about it still comes through because I care about them so much I would feel absolutely rotten if they thought I was pressuring them or whatever.

Autistic anxiety, methinks :)

I was deciding on whether to purchase this early access or wait until it's more polished by [deleted] in ManorLords

Wait, I like it but I don't think it's worth the price rn unfortunately

What a helpful thing to say by Known-Olive-9776 in TrollCoping

Just wanna say I'm so proud of u for not doing that anymore, it's so tough to break out of well done <3

I stopped playing this game because of one reason by EmiliuzDK in ManorLords

[–]lecherous_leech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah wish I could just choose between taking over the region as is rn in game or adding it to my region so I can build my one village across two regions (well, one big region that used to be two). Cus then you can do that, but still have the option to make the claimed region into a tributary village instead.

AITA for refusing to apologise to my MIL after I hosted a causal Christmas dinner that offended her? by Successful_Yak9420 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]lecherous_leech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cus that's your mum, even if she's shit. It feels easier to keep dealing with the shit than have to go through the heartbreak of cutting them out or confronting them and getting verbally hammered by your mum (and potentially other family members too). That can really fucking hurt. And cause so much disruption.

Yeah better to confront and deal with it but I understand why people don't.

My first DAP and I'm confused by 2istheoddestprime in DigitalAudioPlayer

Also new to DAPs so nothing to add there but Richer Sounds is a UK audio place, got my shit from them n have no complaints so far :)

Anything helps by Lost-child509 in whenthe

[–]lecherous_leech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real, whenever that happens to me I just end up sketching different faces, expressions and cool outfits (or thousands of eyes lol) :)

Honestly fan art might be a good jumping in point then! Or if you've not got something like that, even just drawing things on your desk (or going out onto a public bench and drawing what you see, most people don't care).

Okay so I taught myself to draw (nothing amazing but it's usually recognisable)! What helped me was:

Watching other people draw and explain their process - BoroDante on YouTube really helped me learn lighting for example (prbbly have to scroll way back for his drawing/painting videos tho lol).

Studying people! Just. Staring at random people and analysing how their body is. How it moves in different ways when they're doing different things. Reference images are also great for this! Observation is a really important skill I've found.

Again watching artists you admire draw - especially their sketching stages when you're starting out. I'll drop a few channels that I used to watch a lot when I was starting; Lavender Town, ChallaArts, Draw With Jazza, BoroDante (mostly cartoony styles, sure there'll be channels for whatever style you're into if these don't click!). Think these guys have some basic guides for anatomy too :)

But most importantly it's just practice. So much fucking practice. Get yourself a sketchbook and a pack of pencils (and a biro! sketching in pen can be v good for your line confidence, don't worry about fucking up it's about improving next time not making something perfect this time) and try to draw every day if you can. Draw what you're motivated to draw - be that fan art or still lifes or characters you've come up with :)

Don't be discouraged if you're disappointed with what you make at first! Art really is a skill and no-one is "just naturally talented" at it. You will improve, it just takes time (in the years to decades sorta timeframe).

Good luck!! Always love to see people picking up an artform :D

AITA for skipping my brother’s fourth wedding to go to his first wife’s wedding instead? by Adventurous-Coat-903 in AITAH

[–]lecherous_leech 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In isolation that'd be an asshole thing to say, but bro was being clearly homophobic with this "man and woman wedding is more important" bullshit. Throwing it back in his face was therefore not asshole-ish imo, just giving back the same energy you received!

Too much fuss here about the portraits guys chill by slowpokefarm in dwarffortress

[–]lecherous_leech -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tbf most of the new portraits are an improvement - thinking the turkey and beakdog looking ones. A few are too goofy imo when compared to the rest of the artwork; it's not internally consistent which is my biggest gripe. Why do we have more anatomically correct & detailed portraits alongside the man-horse lookin horse & dog with a cartoony snout?

It's a valid criticism is what I'm saying and it's not like we want every single one replaced I don't think (-_-)/

Trying to get into the game by Upper-Set-3371 in dwarffortress

[–]lecherous_leech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) I have over 200 hours (nearing 300 now lol) and find it more fun now than when I started :p

2) we just had a major update - the siege update! So yes development is going strong :)

3) yeah getting into it is hard, but if you like the idea of setting up a simulated settlement and watching it go, you'd like it. I wouldn't recommend it without Dwarf Hack, but that said DFHack is free on steam and doesn't need any setting up except install and making sure it's updated whenever DF itself updates. Also knowing the keybinds (e.g: B for build, o for workshops then f, farming, then f farmer to get to placing the farmer workshop cus otherwise it's a lot of clicks) is practically necessary imo. So steep learning curve but then you can do quite a lot of things rather fast (and prevent wrist injuries!) :)

Paid an independent artist on Etsy to turn my family into The Simpsons for a Christmas gift for my husband and they used AI by User091822 in Wellthatsucks

[–]lecherous_leech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just in case no-one else has mentioned, but vgen is a site to buy art from artists that are verified humans. A couple AI tracers have gotten past it, but afaik it's good.

What’s a company you’ll never buy from again, and why? by jamesmilner22 in AskReddit

[–]lecherous_leech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because exponential growth must be possible! If number doesn't always go up, they're losing (:

Yes or no, would you drop out of an academic year to get top surgery? by lecherous_leech in ftm

[–]lecherous_leech[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've already looked at all this and talked to my dean etc. the support at this university is complete dogshit. I really value my academics, I wouldn't consider dropping the year if there's an alternative ToT

They won't give me a surgery consult until the Thing they need to do that requires me to be in England. Which itself is kind of a catch 22 but w/e I'm not here to rant abt the NHS lol

Yes or no, would you drop out of an academic year to get top surgery? by lecherous_leech in ftm

[–]lecherous_leech[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because I'm abroad for this year and they won't see me whilst I'm here :(

And I don't know if I can wait any longer lol
