I do a lot of digital art. I draw sometimes, but my motorskills leave a lot to be desired (I draw with my wrist, not my arm, and I have shaky hands); so if I’m doing anything more than sketching, I need to draw in Procreate so I can keep retrying each line until it looks how I want.
Because of this, I usually stick to vector art, which is much cleaner regardless of motor skills. I lucked out and bought Illustrator when it was CS6 and not Creative Cloud, so I’m still using that and will likely continue to use it forever (I hate consumer SaaS with a passion).
I’m not exactly an expert writer, so please take this with a huge grain of salt, but I think the “no info-dump” rule applies more in the “show, don’t tell” sense more than in the “all action, no dialogue” sense.
Having said that, 14 pages of all talking sounds like a lot if there’s nothing happening. If the plot is still progressing, dialogue can still be quite engaging (see Community’s “Cooperative Polygraphy” for a great example of an all-dialogue episode that is engaging and keeps the plot moving).
Without reading the whole book, it’s hard for Internet strangers to give good advice on this, so all I can suggest you stay objective and really look at if your 14-page conversation is still engaging and keeps everything moving.
I would also advise checking with the Writing community on Beehaw (!writing@beehaw.org) for more advice.
For the users who run custom ROMs: do you typically run them on your device fresh out of the box, or do you typically wait until OS updates are no longer supported and swap then?
It’s very interesting to see console games moving to mobile more and more (especially as phones get more powerful). I am curious if more game devs will plan on that as they design a game from the ground up, especially since designing for the Switch means the processing power is already limited somewhat (though the control scheme would certainly be an issue to a degree).
Bugsnax is a fun and engaging game that doesn’t (to my recollection) have a ton of fast paced elements, so a mobile port would be quite at home (even with mobile controls), though I suppose I would’ve preferred to see the resources going into this port go into a new game from Young Horses since I really enjoyed Bugsnax.
This is largely off-topic; but for anyone who is interested in playing Hogwarts Legacy without supporting JK Rowling, I would highly recommend checking out your local library.
If your library carries videogames, it is highly beneficial to support your library AND it doesn’t directly support JK Rowling, so it is helpful on two fronts.
Me and some of my friends from college wanted to reconnect and we wound up wanting to play since online games too, but two of us only had Macs (which don’t have many supported games) and one of us didn’t have any console.
This meant that our options were limited, but we came up with a couple of solid (in my opinion) options:
One of the rules I liked from the /r/games community was one of the rules you mentioned here: “Use the same titles as the article itself.” I think all the rules you mentioned here are definitely good ground rules as well.
Personally, I would also like to see people adopting the body portion of Lemmy posts to summarize the article, or quote a meaty part of the article; but that could also be used for misleading purposes, so I’m not sure if that’s a good idea without some level of oversight.
I’m personally a fan of “25 or 6 to 4” by Chicago
I’ve definitely found the 1001 to be hit and miss. Some albums seem like a solid 5/5, some albums I have no idea how they made the list. I think it’s the nature of the system.
I have a tendency to hop from game to game as I get new ones on sale. Typically for me to beat them, they either need to happen to be bought worth no other new games being bought for a while after, be short enough to burn through in a few days, or need to be beaten to I can interact with other people regarding the game.
I think the last game I beat was Pokemon Scarlet, which I had to beat so I could do the raids.
It’s Detective Tobias Gregson from the Ace Attorney Chronicles (a version of the Ace Attorney series that takes place in an alternate version of Sherlock Holmes stories). If I recall correctly, he is consistently holding a newspaper cone of fish and chips.
While I would certainly like for Reddit to experience the consequences of its actions, I don’t think it actually matters all that much.
Most people will probably go back to Reddit, but there will be others who will not. Right now, as far as I can tell, the best thing to do is not to hope Reddit fails and everyone has to come here; but just comment, create, etc, here and make it a community you are happy with regardless of what Reddit does. (Especially since in all likelihood, Reddit will keep on trucking along for a long while)
Very cool. What’s the series based around? (If you don’t mind my asking)
Please feel free to shoot me a DM if you want help with the styling. I’m not exactly an expert at coding, but I’d be happy to help where I can
Thanks!
Obviously, something like this wouldn’t be feasible on instances where everyone can make their own communities; but since Beehaw only has ~30 communities, I thought the honeycomb theming might be nice to implement
While I don’t watch enough Netflix that this decision will affect me directly, this is awful news, because now I expect more streaming services to see this as a viable option and it will likely be repeated.
I also agree, that it is extraordinarily sad to say goodbye to my top used app (RiF); but I would say even sadder still is Reddit’s decisions proving how little they value their user base.
I, myself, was likely not a high value user; but the way Reddit is treating its mod teams who have spent countless hours performing a relatively thankless job for free, is simply egregious.
I’m going to really miss RiF. The UI was so clean and information dense that it is hard to beat.
I heard the developer is working on an app for Tildes, but I would be thrilled if they announced an app for Lemmy as well.
After I beat Persona 5 Royale I tried to scratch that itch with Persona 4 Golden, which I had heard was even better than P5R. While the story may be better, I can’t confirm that myself, since I couldn’t get used to playing without an the QoL additions introduced in P5R.
All this to say that I would be very interested in playing a definitive Persona 3 (in the form of the remake), but I sincerely hope they keep the QoL changes from P5R
Thanks. I thought Themberchaud was the most precious thing in the DnD movie and I really wanted to try to capture that feeling in my drawing
