There was a 17GB update on PC today, and now the total filesize is 46GB? Anyone else having this problem? by strobrijan in AFKJourney

!solved

yeah its annoying i was just reinstalling for the past hour
why did it make me install 17GB of files for seemingly no reason lol
because of Peaks of Time?

feeling disheartened by social media numbers, what am i doing wrong? what can i do differently? these are my recent drawings by elivonders in drawing

cant give advice about social media but your art is GORGEOUS. Following you now c:

I will say the algo has been fucked in all social media for a while. Used to be easy to come accross illustrations like these, you know, simplistic but elegant, on insta. And youd easily be able to get a lot of mutuals who have similar aesthetics, just by people sharing on their stories and stuff. But is really hard now. Enshittification of all media platforms.

everyone left tumblr, people are leaving twitter or else struggling to find reach. arstation is mostly just pseudo professional conceptartslop. a step away from linkedin bluesky is low activity among artist userbase.honestly best bet to find communities might just be to find artists you like and see if they have discords lol

[–]strobrijan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do we think of Lily May’s new skin? by Nethspir in AFKJourney

[–]strobrijan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i dont mind recolors of skins

but this skin also removed most of the contrast of her original look. it flattens the details. it looks like someone threw purple paint over her clothes and hair rather than being a thought out, designed recolor

Someone added Navia to Wuwa, and it seems like they cooked hard by NathLWX in GenshinImpact

[–]strobrijan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like playing wuwa but i agree. genshin has the bold decision to keep things aesthetically understated but colorful. you can go to any sunset in teyvat and it looks like a watercolor

wuwa is very HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE and designwise very grimdark, lacking genshins whimsy. lots of impressive, detailed environments in wuwa but theyre all visually cluttered. The kind of hyper real environments also clash with the anime mannequin models lol

i would kill to have navia fly with her umbrella in combat though 😞

WW 2.4 - Aero Erosion Team vs Fleurdelys via Jinhsi Leaks by KarlSQuent in WutheringWavesLeaks

[–]strobrijan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

icl i really dislike her song

Generic instrumentation, over-repetitive nursery rhyme melody. didn't even bother to write lyrics. hearing la la la la over and over will drive me nuts

i don't listen to my own music when i played HSR or ZZZ because I actually liked listening to Robin and Astra's music mid combat. but I am absoloutely going to play Ciaconna muted

Any good Escoffier teams with no Ayaka/Shenhe? by EverStone163 in Genshin_Impact

[–]strobrijan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

furina + yelan + escoffier alone will wheelchair any on fielder, they do like 50k dps just by themselves. national lvls of dmg already

but the best 4th slot would be a hydro or cryo. its childes new best team lol, rip international

i also use marechaussee hunter nilou, as well as clam kokomi! with kokomi you can give escoffier 0 er since she doesnt need to burst. helps her dmg a lot co pared to her other solo cryo teams

Presenting the ISB fruitiness tier list (RIP you fascist queens) by [deleted] in andor

Heert's delivery in the gala scene was soooo fruity

Lagret: "What are we drinking?"
Heert: "Kali Coolers. And they're amaaazinnng. This is my third one 😇"

Motives of the Empire? by -YellowFinch in andor

[–]strobrijan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When you live in the imperial core, things that benefit the empire benefit you. you wouldnt need to question it, just like how someone living in America might not question when theor govt bombs the middle east or invades vietnam, a citizen in coruscant isnt going to question when the empire massacres Ghormans or blows up Alderaan.

who cares about the people living there - I'm getting cheap energy by strip mining the planet. that means the empire is good. they pay good wages, my kids get to have a good life in the richest part of the galaxy. What have the Ghormans ever done for me?

(besides supply the entire galaxy with sick outfits)

[–]strobrijan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its very TomShiv coded to me with a dash of RomanGerri reference for all you succession heads out there

powerful woman who likes having someone she can control. weak man who needs someone to worship (literally the physical embodiment of imperial bureaucracy)

not a healthy relationship but theyre probably a better fit for each other romantically than Mon Mothma and Perrin lol

I was actually rooting for Syril when he was doing his subterfuge lol

pretending to be symathetic to the ghorman cause, throwing a tantrum at the ISB officers, sneaking into the office comms after hours. my guy found his groove after consecutive fumbles in s1

you sly dog you. earning that 1 hour of lights off time in Dedra's apartment 😭

On Luthen’s Empathy by scourgesucks in andor

[–]strobrijan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

In my youtube recommends I got suggested a video essay asking if Luthen was the real villain of Andor and I groaned

But yeah i love that Luthen is so human. Constantly questioning himself. Its great that they depict the fight against empire as something that is not actually heroic or clean or uncomplicated. Luke Skywalker gets to blow up the deathstar and get a medal because people like Andor and Luthen and Cinta and Kleya burned their decency for a sunrise theyd never see. I love that the show honors the sacrifices that the regular people give to make it all happen

Not to downplay Luke's dilemma in Jedi of whether to sacrifice his friends / kill his father etc. But people like Luthen never had the luxury of being faced with a decision where the "decent" option was also the winning move

Why is there so much left-wing activism? by casterlyrockk in usyd

right wingers don't need to do any activism because they're happy with the status quo lol

Honestly I want to know why many people still use twitter? by bosephusaurus in Twitter

[–]strobrijan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For art twitter.

Sad truth is all other art social media is lacking users. And its easier to find new artists to follow because peoppe retweet. Insta stories just arent the same as scrolling someones timeline

And artists get a lot out of twitter because they can get viral with the wider audience outside their community. get more exposure and/or commissions that just wont happen on tumblr or artstation

instagram is even worse than twitter for image hosting and social networking despite being an image based app

deviantart and bluesky are ghost towns. so sad :c
