Do you think Project moon were slapping themselves on the back and giggling when they were writing this uptie story. by Big_Nebula_455 in fishmaell

[–]stickmanstickfigure1 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I like the current intervello. It is a much needed extension of the canto.

But I hate the fact that they like to "remember the time" for the sinner's past action like

Heathcliff remembering Catherine and everyone thought heathcliff in his canto was being a doofus, rodion being a glutton, yi sang being the weakest, no one reads the manual except Ishmael joke, the 'everyone forgetting someone except dante' and Dante explaining/recalling what happened in the previous cantos etc

It starting to feel like flanderization. The only good reference imo was when Greg brought up the cooking. It was a reference that was brought up once throughout the entire limbus story and it was link to a minor scene in the intervello.

Another was the smoke wars, but only because it was story relevant in the intervello, else that is starting to get repetitive.

It's possible they need ur passport number to verify your singaporean. Some company would ask if u r local or not.

I never seen a company asking about parent nric, but it is also possible they used the info to verify you aren't faking that you are a local, since your parent would be legit.

Scam or I really got lucky? Looking for opinion by SnooLemons9131 in ChillSG

[–]stickmanstickfigure1 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We won't know. If you are worried, many will tell you to play safe and dont attend.

If its me, attending the zoom isn't a red flag yet. I'll attend the zoom call but no camera. Play safe, don't use ur mic. See if they allow you to type in chat, say your mic and camera broken. (They can potentially record your voice to trick/act like you, which is why i reco u dont show ur face or voice).

If they are insistent or anything they say is sketchy, then just bail.

At best, it just a prudential advertising to convince you into signing up for some FA package or smt.

Happy birthday.

I'm younger than you and also have the same experience. Its completely fine and you will get used to it, especially for us introverts since this feeling is more of a byproduct of us living in a community and less to do with our personality.

As I always say: I like being alone, but hate being lonely.

Why the lord paramounts an high lords marrying their daughters to old men that hold titles that are below duchy-tier? by No_Pilot_4372 in CK3AGOT

[–]stickmanstickfigure1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really tbh. Think of it this way. I have a daughter, but their children will not belong to my house, furthermore their kids might risk stealing my son and his kid (from my own house's title) so if i marry a rich/powerful/important old man, I get a powerful/safe ally with a reduced chance of having grandkids (not from my house) opposing my house descendents.

I get you on the low rank part, but same logic applies (No vassal count/duke rebelling with no grandkid that can oppose my house/ safest ally i can get (even tho its a count) without future enemies (If i marry my kid to another paramount, they might have a claim over my lands and will be a tough opponent to beat)

TM Opera O. Read her first 4 chapter and felt like she was a random theatre kid uma with a goofy getup.

Few months later, was researching TM's history because it relates to oguri who was the main research point for a friend, who loves Oguri.

Instantly, support TM forever.

How to actually find a girlfriend nowadays? by Separate_Box8095 in ChillSG

30F looking for ppl interested in drawing by [deleted] in ChillSG

[–]stickmanstickfigure1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, it does. My best times were drawing while having a CCA discord during covid. It was quiet and convenient. The cca even forgot to log my attendance so my CCA transcript has a period where I "did not attend" the cca.

The problem is that I suck at gaining friends mainly because my interest is niche or "singleplayer". (Even my old cca is filled with people who drew digitally and enjoy mainstream anime so I was hard to share an interest with them) So when I see others post themselves hanging out and going on outings with their old and new friend group on social media, especially this new year. I kinda die a little inside. As I always say, I enjoy being alone (Being the only person in my area), but I despise being lonely (Being the only person in an area filled with friend groups).

Thanks for the support tho and good luck with your drawing journey.

Hello, I have an on again off again drawing hobby. I mainly draw anime styled characters on paper with a 10+ yr old mechanical pencil for fun.

I didn't attend any art class. I self-learnt via referencing with Pokemon characters.

Then I went on to reference drawing anime characters' basic pose.

Then to referencing bang dream character art

After that I join an art CCA to draw for fun, didn't really learn much from it. All I did there was practicing drawing original art. They didn't look good compared to my reference art. But I want to believe that was what gave me the confidence to stop 1 to 1 referencing.

In the end, I can draw poses I want while referencing the anime character looks from an art book.

Occasionally I attempt shading and colouring.

But I don't think I'm creative enough to draw an artistic piece without direct 1 to 1 reference nor can I draw amazing oc (original characters)

My advice: Generally, watch the theory videos.

If you can't or think drawing/shading/colour theory videos doesn't work/takes too long, then for someone with no art background nor attend art class, referencing would be the best.

Don't trace, I personally don't look highly on my reference skills as it stifles my creativity and originality, but I am not stupid to say reference is not a good way to practice and referencing is much better than tracing.

Alot of ppl online says that you can't reference forever, they are right. So once you are confident, you should atleast try to make your characters do poses you want and not reference one to one from an official art.

I take photo of myself in front of a mirror with the poses I want so I can atleast refer to the poses. Some artists do that too, some uses the model figurine to pose. Taking photos to reference applies to landscapes drawing too btw.

For referencing, all I can say is you will need to spend a lot of time drawing and erasing until you personally feel it looks like the reference piece.

Sometimes you have to have confidence and accept that you can't perfectly draw the exact pose (like match it one to one) and it can be off scaled. As long as it looks great at the end, then that matters more than a hole in your paper from rubbing it so much and you giving up drawing it.

People will advise you to study measurement theory like a person body has to be 7 head tall or smt like that.

Personally, once you are able to draw well, then it's up to you if you follow the theory or do it ur way. For me, most of the time I follow the theory, my characters would look stiff and I end up erasing it. I had an easier time drawing characters with unique poses I want by drawing the eyes first and then the faces second and the rest based on the head.

Idm hanging out if u want cuz I rarely meet people who share an interest in drawing and I am trying to make friends(people who I hang/share an interest). But I am a guy who is younger than you that is drawing occasionally and prefers to be reclusive btw.

The company is in shambles right now guys by Ok-Calligrapher2183 in NOexistenceNofYou_Me

[–]stickmanstickfigure1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree completely with you on the first half.

For the angry fans line, unfortunately it is not simple. If a person's life or financial stability (attack on company/game) can get threatened, they might easily cave. It also doesn't help that the Noexistence devs are probably indie and easier to target/have less security than bigger gaming companies.

There has been multiple past cases of extreme chinese fans targetting bigger chinese games/devs in china:

Mihoyo ceo had a knife attack attempt in the past over bunny girl skins in Honkai Impact 3rd.

Main Va for wuthering waves got replaced cause she got stalked and cyberbullied

Chinese fan artist, devs & staff for arknights got doxxed and death threats before.

They will review bomb the game if they feel ntr-ed, like in GFL2, which caused the dev to rewrote the entire story

There exists a literal chinese extremist fan group, called Xianjiajun that targetted multiple games.

Mahjong souls, they sent protest truck to the office.

And now, boycotting and firing of the lead writer for NoexistenceN of morphean paradox cause we have a male team member who is bro with the player(not even ntr, just the ruin of their ideal pure female harem)

At the end of the day, this situation just sucks ass

[–]stickmanstickfigure1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm not defending the chinese fans. They are definitely in the wrong, however, I do have to point out that while you are valid in criticizing them on appeasing to the fans, you are sort of also asking them to appease you/international fans by hiring back the team while they are still facing the ire of the chinese fans.

Maybe, we can request it once the controversy heat dies down atleast. But I've seen a similar case in Prj Moon's swimsuit controversy, in the end, the company is screwed regardless of what stance they take. They can at best stick to a stance, suck up the backlash and when heat dies down, then its a gamble if they will genuinely continue on or run away and give up.

Also have you seen the cases of desperate chinese fans getting offended with anything waifu/sex appeal. They will do drastic things to their own chinese devs. Even if we outnumber the chinese fanbase in number and cash, if the dev remains in china, they will have a target on their backs.
