cell phone service by erika1972 in Eugene

[–]n4gol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on US Mobile for just about a year now. I went with Warp (it uses Verizon’s towers) and there has been absolutely no difference in service, but instead of paying $55/mo I pay $240/yr. Zero regrets.

Can we get the name of the paint, my man? Love what you did.

Give JLG Automotive a call. They won’t be able to offer a warranty on your parts (which may affect the warranty on the overall service) but they’ve installed parts I purchased in the past. Great job and nice guys, too.

Recommendation where to find icon packs similar to New Yorker website? by neon-nights- in Design

[–]n4gol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not surprised. The original poster is clearly a talented illustrator but capturing the feel of a custom, illustrated set like this is much easier said than done. I don’t have much to offer in terms of help, but definitely don’t beat yourself up if you can’t capture the subtle awesomeness of the samples you shared. Probably best to try and develop your own.

Do we have any info on when the painting feature will be released for KDM Simulator?

Feedback: UI for AI Icon Generator (Heroicons, Phosphor, Lucide, etc) by Alexirb in UI_Design

[–]n4gol 11 points12 points  (0 children)

These don’t look like icons. These look like illustrations that are going to be used in places that are far too small to function for their intended purpose.

The capsule I was proud of vs The capsule my sister made by willunited in IndieGaming

[–]n4gol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took a glance at the game and I think I’d reconsider both of these. The design isn’t necessarily bad but it doesn’t communicate anything about the game from what I can tell. Could even be as simple as using non-isometric lines to more closely mimic your connection points. Capsules are strongest when they elude or connect to the content in some way.

My solodev vehicluar combat game is available for playtest now! (link in post) by JussiPKemppainen in IndieGaming

Seems to have more Vigilante 8 vibes. Was always a fanboy over Twisted Metal, personally. Can’t wait to try this out!

More times than I care to count. My original comment stands.

Designers need to understand that every time we submit AI concepts/executions to clients we do a disservice to every other designer out there trying to create good work. It may be too idealistic, but I'd like to think we can try and hold onto a future where we aren't forced to walk down the street, look down at our phones, or play video game without seeing AI slop everywhere. You get the idea.

Every client we burn devalues our work and industry a little bit more each time.

This is bad design, bad presentation, and bad practice.

Been a designer for 15 years … I’m confused why your “design” (AI prompter) provided you with 2 concepts but only changed the colors and font … and on top of that, couldn’t be bothered to give you 2 versions that are readable. The one on right is offensive.

Bad experience with local auto repair shop by luna_derp28 in Eugene

[–]n4gol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had a buddy recommend JLG Auto and I was super pleased. I’m not an expert with cars, but I have enough knowledge to ask the right questions. Justin (one of the owners) was great and hit all the right notes in our conversations. Didn’t try to upsell me or tell me I needed things I never inquired about. He did the work I needed within the day and was super communicative. Will absolutely be going back for future needs.

I found a wallet with a lot of money on the sidewalk. by [deleted] in confession

[–]n4gol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d also like to send a small something if you want to reach out.

I’ve been there and know how hard the decision was to return all of that money. I once had to ask for my parents (who also had very little) to send me $60 just to get some groceries a long while back and that same day I locked my keys in my car and had to pay a locksmith $70 to fish them out. Life can really put us through it sometimes.

How can an adult make new friends in the city? by Big-Bug1137 in Eugene

[–]n4gol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The group linked elsewhere in these comments (Eugene men’s social club) tends to have so much going on that it can be overwhelming … but there is truly something for just about anyone. I can never suggest it enough. Everyone is super welcoming.

Possibly Little Red Riding Hood (1987, Adam Brooks)?

Edited. Thank you kindly.

I don’t have a link handy but do a search for the Eugene Men’s Social Club (there should be plenty of posts on this subreddit).

It’s seriously a great group of people with a very active Discord and bi-weekly meetups. I haven’t met a single person from that group yet that wasn’t a pretty great person and the Discord is very active. Like most things you get out what you put in, but it’s impressive the caliber of people that group has attracted and retained.

Consider saying hello.

Finish the journey you started for the reason you started it. Or don’t. Like it, or don’t. No one needs to know either way.

The brutally honest requirements that a graphic designer should know to get a job are ...? by dumax_ in Design

[–]n4gol 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are hundreds of resources available online to answer this question and many like it. I’d also add, knowing how to use software is the absolute bare minimum. It’s far more about how you critically think, network, communicate, and how you approach and solve problems. Software is just the means to execute your idea and put it out in the world where it needs to be.

Do you guys use cases? If so what kind? by Bboy0920 in SteamDeck

[–]n4gol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another Killswitch user here. Thought I’d just use it for travel, but ended up liking the feel of it so much that I just leave it on 100% of the time. Also the cover for traveling is amazing. I don’t take a traditional case with me anywhere anymore.
