Hey Is anyone here going to SDCC? There's an exclusive I want to get my hands on
Orien alternating between translating and trying to be focused and being worried that she's hurt someone by not knowing enough is fun too. Like. The group interacting feeds into her nervous energy very well.
The spell game today was super fun. Lobster has a good group together- now hopefully next time all of us will be there!
Okay, I have two #art questions, both looking for advice. Boosts appreciated.
1-Drawing fantasy backgrounds. Specifically, what advice do you have for designing them? What kind of design principles does a good background scene use? How do you balance the "real" and "fantasy" elements?
2-Similar Q: designing outfits. 😭 I can draw other people's designs okay but when it comes to making up my own, I draw a mental blank. Where should I start? How do you turn aesthetic ideas into actual designs?
Incredibles 2 was good! some missteps, but not as cringe-y as i expected from the villain being Screenslaver, and pretty solid overall. more thoughts tomorrow.

welcome! can't say i've seen anyone on here that does cheesemaking before, but i know i have at least a vague interest in it!
if you're looking for people to follow, @aldersprig does a lot of writing stuff (and sometimes mentions baking iirc?) and @skysailor knows a lot about food in general, though it's not the most of what he toots about.
actually, why *does* chrome take up so much memory over time? does it have a leak problem? or is it something else?
i think i finally figured out a tedious-but-not-boring way to handle visuals for analysis videos! which means i can actually start making those at some point!!!
just gotta find someone who can help me out with it, and then figure out money for paying them
Have another tief #dnd
Here we go, my to-do list for reworking the mastodon web UI:
https://github.com/TheInventrix/mastodon/issues/15
Some of these are extremely trivial changes - like the default settings one - but some of the others like the quicknav bar changes are a little above my current skill level and will require a great deal of work for me, so if it looks easy for you, please go ahead and do it and submit a PR for the issue.
i ordered new clothes!!! i'm excited!!!!!
