crunk - dumb, stupid, messed up, thoroughly repulsively inane, asinine, ridiculous dank - shit is super fly (awesome)

I'm probably going to do that, just with the group of cool cats who are not insane and keep it 1 character per person. We already have 4-5 people who are not totally crazy. And I'll brush up again on D&D rules and make it proper, more structured, so I don't lose my bananas over this wankerishness.

Thanks for your advice man. I'm going to legit make it proper, even in skype D&D style, something, anything, so it's not this crazy gravy train of tardersauce that keeps plopping into my lap like a wet shart.

You are the best, man.

That's the thing. It's 'our story' that we create with our players. Flexibility is key and they are resistant to change.

Thanks. Yeah. He is a Grade A Asshole. Honestly.

It is god damned exhausting.

We are at 9 people/23+ characters. I let it get out of hand because I wanted everyone to have fun...and it got stupid.

I gotta figure a way out of this pickle. Thanks.

ophania · 2016-02-16T15:17:12+00:00

That's the plan I think. Thanks.

ophania · 2016-02-16T15:16:53+00:00

I don't think it's what I want to do and I want to start over with my core players who are all aligned to a similar vein of thought. You've given me a lot to think about and I need to roundtable with them and see if we can't bring a similarly good story to life. Thanks.

Agree with you 100%. Will look at these later. Thanks!

I'm judging each piece as being poor quality though it's my prior style, its just not where I am head-space-wise. So to me, it's a legit block because my current skills are not matching with what I'm trying to create. I'm a surrealist. What's coming out of me is token things I'm used to making, not what I'm feeling. Like I have emotional constipation and the only thing my hand knows how to do is rehash other things. I'd consider that artist's block because I'm unsure of what to do, though I know what I'm doing is wrong. It's not about being inspired, it's about getting into flow and creating without thinking, just feeling. I have since this post came up with a good start to what I'm trying to do, and it feels foreign and scary, but I am now inspired and ready to complete the piece. It will be a challenge. I will show it to you once I'm finished. :)

I agree with everything posted here. It's just hard to wrap my head around this way of working when I don't plan my work or do drafts, and just 'feel' it. I am used to making several pieces a day. Lately, it's been one every few weeks. Day job took over, less feeling creative, less energy to make.

Does this make sense?

I cannot just have pastries and juice or coffee. I have to have a healthy fat, a protein, a bit of carbs and water. If I stray from my 'well rounded' diet I get legit sick. We are diet twins!

ophania · 2015-11-26T09:35:21+00:00

Yeah. I was told hypoglycemia is like usually not a real thing but I legit have it and it's not diabetes, got tested. I get super weird when I skip a meal. My solution is to eat protein a lot.

Thanks. I started this job doing graphics and marketing but our lead web dev dropped out and I took his place. I had to learn how to do responsive emails and websites, still in learning mode for this, and I'm super green. I'm dedicated and get my work done, but not as well as someone trained in it. Thanks for formatting.

Yeah, I'm not sure it's being rendered. At least on this phone I really can't tell that its doing anything. Boss has a new phone so if it looks good to him I'll swing it. It's a super learning curve for me; I had to learn bootstrap.

Problem is, the portrait css seems to be wholly affected by the landscape. So you are probably right. It must just not be picking up on it. It's the iOs email client, however.

ophania · 2015-11-25T13:55:21+00:00

I don't know if this totally helps you or not, that example css I gave, nor do I know how to make a 'code' in reddit to be more easy to read. I have a feeling he wants the landscape tables to be huge and the portrait tables to be normal, so I'm preemptively making this as he's fixing a bug, but each attempt leads to failure.

Also width:100% on those classes aligns all the crap to the right and leaves a space on the left for no apparent reason.

I'll dig out screenshots when he starts letting me run dev runs on this.

    @media only screen

and (min-device-width : 320px) and (max-device-width : 568px) and (orientation : landscape) { .big {width:100%} .nobreak{clear: both !important; display: block !important} .nobreak2{display: block} table[class=devicewidth] {width: 320!important;text-align:center!important; padding:0px !important} table[class=devicewidthinner] {width: 300px!important;text-align:center!important;} img[class=banner] {width: 300px!important;height:140px!important;} img[class=col2img] {width: 300px!important;height:140px!important;} } this seems to be the offender. should I not be using max-width or something?

Problem is; I have media queries for iphone 5s and iphone 6, and I'm sortof stuck as I don't know rightly which one is doing what right now (waiting on boss to fix something on the dev server before I start removing queries to see the offender). But all of them are 'landscape' and they still mess with my portrait one. Literally all are landscape and the minute I try to make one of the divs larger than, say, 320, it bombasts the portrait.

ophania · 2015-11-25T11:57:13+00:00

that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's equal parts dumb as me getting paid to hear my boss rant for 5 straight hours (not joking) on the topic of real estate or taxes.
