Art is about the process, not the end result. Any artist you see doing public posts with detailed art has many thousands of drawings that are rough. And that’s okay, the internet has everyone showing off just their best stuff, but that’s just the best stuff. If you want to make art that fulfills what you’re looking foe, just keep doing art. You’ll get there.

You don’t get creative skills without many hours of practice. You should.

How many of these games have you actually played? The only similarity I see between these is playable female main characters. Is it woke to play as a woman? Really genuinely, I’d like to know what you mean when you say woke.

Denuvo notably impacts both the performance and long term preservation of games. I imagine many people might buy a game, then download the cracked version without denuvo just for the performance gain.

What would you consider a modern example of a “woke” game?

My display is 144hz and I’ve played quite a few games at that framerate. When you’re talking about smoothness, what you’re actually talking about is frame time. A consistent FPS at 30 is smooth, if there’s not inconsistent frametime and stutters.

Idk man, I’ve enjoyed many a game at 30 fps. 60 is my general target but acting like it’s a minimum to have a fun time is ridiculous.

Cardcaptor Sakura is wonderful, I also recommend Sailor Moon. I’ve seen recommendations for Nichijou and I agree with that one, it’s primarily comedy without a ton as far as plot goes.

Buy extra firm tofu, and press it to remove excess liquid and you’ll be fine. I just put a cutting board down, then some paper towels under and on top of the tofu to absorb the liquid, and put another cutting board with some of my old textbooks on top. Leave it for 30 minutes or so. It might break apart in a crock pot, but it will still absorb the flavors and taste good.

I recently played Crow Country, an indie horror game very inspired by the look of old ps1 era Resident evil and Silent Hill. It’s short, but I love how while the environments are fully 3D, they give that prerendered background look. You investigate a shut down theme park called crow country, looking for the man who owns the place. The narrative is pretty interesting but not anything groundbreaking.

Not everyone finds realism in games as the desired end goal of videogame graphics, and historically stylized graphics age better.

Not Amazon, their store is small potatoes for them. Their real money maker is amazon web services.

Is that the case though? When I have DM’d there’s often a difference between the intended difficulty of an encounter I create versus how it actually works out in play. Chalk that down to inexperience I guess, but a nudge in the direction of what the intended experience was I’ve found helpful, especially when the focus on the campaign is narrative. It can mitigate frustration that arises in situations that aren’t supposed to be difficult, and prevent boss encounters from being underwhelming when your players do a lot more damage than you anticipate.

I don’t necessarily desire a revolution or civil war, But if you want to make claims about the voting status of Lemmy users, you can’t just pull that one out of your ass, my dude. This platform is definitely left leaning, and it’s definitely comprised of a lot of geeks. I would question, do you think that the Holocaust could have been stopped without the use of force? If someone broke into your home and threatened your life, do you think that the appropriate response would be to let them do whatever they want? Most people in that situation would call the police, which is a form of violence.

Violence is very often the answer chosen by our state, whether that be ICE’s ongoing rounding up of minorities to throw them in camps, or the bombing of schools in Iran, or the funding of an ongoing genocide in Gaza. Police in the US repeatedly murder racial minorities. George Floyd, Sonia Massey, Breonna Taylor. Homeless people, the most vulnerable of us, are regularly forced to move via violence or are incarcerated. Which leaves them in a systemic loop of violence that makes it difficult to ever recover. The progress made in this country was never made without violence, the civil rights movement was filled with it. When you claim that it’s unacceptable for regular people to ever resort to violence, you legitimise the state’s monopoly on it as a method. Very few of us, including those on lemmy, desire a civil war, and violence as a method of creating change is not without it’s merits, nor does it mean we have a civil war. Voting can only go so far in a rigged political system, and it is important to remember that we learned how to deal with fascism during WW2.

I’ve seen 11 in use by many people in my personal life and by many businesses. I go to many businesses for work, and whenever I see a computer, it’s pretty much all 11. Home computing is mostly smartphones and tablets these days, so businesses and schools are going to be most of the numbers realistically.

I find it interesting that you’re just blaming Americans in general rather than specifically the people doing this. Acting as if there’s been no efforts from the people here to stop what’s happening, as if there’s been no effort from people showing up and voting, or protesting on the streets, or working within our state to try and shut down Trump’s horseshit every single day. No, it seems that people think that if we aren’t throwing our lives away in a hopeless civil war against the most heavily funded and powerful military on the planet, that this is our fault. Are you under the impression that our elections are fair? There’s immense amounts of effort and money being spent by republicans to make it as hard as possible for people that aren’t white, able bodied conservatives to vote. Paired with our electoral college system, paired with our two party first past the post voting system, your average people have minimal control over the outcome of elections here. Americans are suffering and dying under this administration too. Many of them have always been suffering under our government since it’s inception, because the needs and desires of the people are not considered or desired here. Fuck dude. Just blame the fascists doing this shit, not the people who are struggling against it.

I get your enthusiasm and I remember it being convenient back when I used it. Google, however, is not worth giving your money to. I highly recommend ditching music streaming and purchasing your music to support the artists you listen to.

That’s a separate issue from what I’m having. It only doesn’t work on my verizon cell service. Unfortunately it makes stoat not an option for me.

Yeah, I get “address not found” regardless of browser. I’ll probably be keeping a closer eye on fluxer.
