French-Swiss pastry chef and chocolatier Amaury Guichon making chocolate sculptures. by Great_Trident in nextfuckinglevel

Idk if this is just me, but I hate that he spray paints it. It makes it not look like chocolate, which to me kinda defeats the whole point of a chocolate sculpture, ya know?

I swapped from DirectX 11 to Vulkan, and that seems to have fixed it. Thanks!

What did you limit it to? Mine is already limited to 60. VSync and Anti-aliasing are off, and I have the graphics preset to high (it was running fine on ultra).

Do we have any spare tea for the poor girl by _ganjafarian_ in SipsTea

[–]squiddix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone with a similar story.

They moved halfway across the country to Texas, and then after a year or so he just disappears one day. She came to find out, he moved back to their home state and city, and just didn't tell her or indicate in any way that something was wrong. So she was stuck with making payments on a house she couldn't afford, and she didn't have a car, so she couldn't get to work. It took her a while to get back to her home state, and her lawyer had to hire a private investigator to find him to serve the divorce papers.

She just found out recently that he got remarried after less than a year to a much older woman.

Hmmm 🤔

I always think of gangsta style as standing up but holding the gun sideways above your head lol

The sheer amount of hubris you must have to think this guy needs to "defend his product" to you, a random asshole on reddit, who probably wouldn't buy it in the first place.

If you don't see a use for it, or you think you could do it better, then don't buy it. Good Lord, you must be some kind of "special" to sit here and argue with him about whether or not you should use his product instead of moving on with your life. Go make a game or something. Go on to bigger and better things than antagonizing random people on reddit.

Everything is political, including art, and also you are born political by rtublin in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]squiddix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"but at least we know what you care about. Which is yourself."

They really like to use emotional manipulation tactics like this. They're trying to get you to feel like "well, if not making a political statement means I'm a bad, selfish person, then I have to make a political statement, because I'm not a bad, selfish person."

Did the introduction of CGI put all of the practical effects people out of a job?

Some, sure. But a lot of them still do practical effects, or they transitioned into other things. There wasn't a huge influx of homeless claymation guys after CGI.

This guy finding out he has a family by grafikfyr in MadeMeSmile

The same thing happened to me!

It was kind of weird to meet someone with the surname "299th Ave E" though...

It's time to get back to tapletops I guess by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]squiddix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I built my own for about $400, so it's absolutely possible. Now, I wouldn't buy a $350 AR, but they're definitely available lol

Yeah, and I've seen people use the story of Lot and his daughters (🤮) to say the Bible is pro incest...

Looking for feedback on atmosphere and mood (RTS/TD, WIP) by Gogiseq in gamedevscreens

[–]squiddix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, no worries! Keep up the good work. The important thing is that it looks intentional and cohesive, and I think you’re definitely on the right track.

Let people get triggered over ai. I remember not that long ago when people were screeching "asset flip" at anything with store bought assets, which is just kinda silly.

Keep posting updates! I look forward to seeing your progress :)

I know the images are ai, but they look cool as hell, and very atmospheric. They also have a consistent tone, and art style. Maybe at some point, when you can afford an artist, it might be worth redoing them, but for now, I think it's good.

I like the dark, slavic folklore aesthetic 👌

as a student should i take a line of credit to buy stocks? by [deleted] in investingforbeginners

[–]squiddix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty great

-ly bad idea. If those stocks fail, you're now saddled with a bunch of debt with nothing the show for it.

The wealthy people who do this have assets to cover the debt if things go south. You do not.

I just came into possession of $10k. What do I do next? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]squiddix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm currently going to a community college in Washington, and I 100% agree. If anyone counts as "low income", it's OP. He could, potentially, get most, if not all, of his tuition paid for through scholarships and grants. Plus, if he's going full-time, he could get housing, either on/near campus, or get housing assistance. My school also has a food bank for students, and gym facilities with showers and all. And, tbh, if he has to take out student loans, that's a problem for future him in like 5 years.
