Either Punk's Dead by Soft Play or I'm Not Crying, You're Crying by English Teacher

How modern? Because there's lots of artist from the late XXth who had interesting and recognizable styles that are hard to replicate, both in style and vibe. Moebius (Jean Giraud) comes to mind. It is deceptively simple, but to replicate it you need to have a solid grasp on character design, stipple shading and crosshatching, color theory, and composition. It's not traditional comic-book style, and you cannot approach it with that mindset and expect a good outcome.

Current artists, I suppose the artists behind Valorant's art? There's a lot of decision making when it comes to how much detail to include, since its very stylized. But I'd argue it's not as hard a style to replicate as Moebius'. Bartosz Kosowski also comes to mind. He's really, really good at depicting things in his style, and you'd need a solid grasp at anatomy and faces to replicate it.

Very disappointing, but expected. Can't trust liberals not to fuck up.

Not much, honestly. One night this year, my friends and I planned on going to a bar to welcome back a buddy who we hadn't seen in a long time. Something happened, can't remember what, and we had to go to someone's place instead to celebrate.

Later in the evening we saw on the news that the bar had been shot up, and plenty were dead. Bar was shut down soon after. It had a good crowd, wasn't too noisy, the food wasn't that bad, and prices were cheaper than other places in the city. My guess is that it was a money laundering scheme and someone would benefit from having it being shut down, because I didn't hear anything about anyone important being there at the moment as if to imply it was a hit.

Lucky us.

Valid points. I don't really stealth, don't have the patience for it honestly unless I have a vetterli with HV, but it's a valid strategy. I tend to prefer a lot of movement over being sneaky. Keeps me alive longer and nets me more kills. Then again, I haven't played in a while, with only one match since the update. Things might've changed.

Agree on most points. But would push back on two specifically:

• "Try to make your first shot a kill": I'd say instead of risking overthinking in order to make a kill, trying to find out what the next step would be after taking a shot should be priority. Going for a kill specifically could result in a bad position between two teams. I'd instead opt for blocking an extract or supply and control high-ground, especially with Necromancer
• Hand crossbow ammo choices. Fire bolts, to me, hold the most value. They burn small chunks on direct contact, burn bodies, and can instantly blow up barrels. Only downside when compared with poison ammo is it won't go through walls, which at a low experience level you won't try anyway. Instead, I'd recommend a loadout that looked like this: Winny C (infantry 73c I think) with levering, Ironeye and FMJ, hand crossbow with fire ammo and bolt thrower, melee tool, medkit, traps, one big regen, one big stamina, one dynamite, and an empty slot, with bonus traits being the one that revives you with full health, the one that revives you with full stamina, and kiteskin for easier flanks.

Depends. I'm aware of the difference, but how much I care about it depends entirely on how much I like the hobby or tech. If it's food, PCs, and clothes (as in, no cheap materials that won't last a year) I care and will go beyond reasonable expectations to ensure that whatever I buy or cook is the best within reason. Anything else, as long as it works.

I don't have the energy for more than that.

That, and most people don't know how to disable the device from their device manager.

Isn't San Pellegrino Nestle?

Ig the worldbuilding for my custom 5e setting counts? It's sort of a continuation of the forgotten realms, with a heavy dose of Warhammer 40K and Doom thrown in. The world of Toril was shattered, and the fragments frozen in place by a divine sacrifice, leaving each landmass cluster within reach of one another (within Voidships).

The government in question was the Dwarf Assembly. It's a loose confederation of citadels within these clusters. Each one dedicated itself to one trade (for example, mining clusters, smithing clusters, etc.), with each trade being led by the oldest dwarf. Assembly-wide decisions are made with the agreement of all clusters.

Tensions rise within each cluster whenever a problem cannot be solved by tradition, with older dwarves being quite proud and reticent to veer away from it. Tensions rise within the Assembly whenever a younger elder is introduced, being seen as inexperienced.

It's not meant to be perfect, I wanted it to be a source of dramatic tension whenever the party ever stepped foot on dwarven soil. I also really like the mental image of dwarves with ushankas.

Hm, have studies been made on this cipher related to dyslexia? I'm not dyslexic but I've been reading into it lately (looking to get into UI/UX) and this seems like maybe it could be useful.

Not surprised the Filipino catholic experience is similar to the latino catholic experience in my neck of the woods. Grew up catholic in a catholic school, and yeah, what you describe tracks. Down to the altar and general ignorance about the nitty gritty.

Also, the cath school thing, around here kids didn't take the religion class too seriously either. From my class, of about 60-70 kids, only two enrolled into a numerary programme, and besides them, I know a handful are devout church-goers.

I also ended up agnostic, and luckily it only ever turned out to be a problem in two relationships.

Vibe, and purpose. I have a gym playlist full of metal, 90's rap, and some bebop. I also have a playlist for rock, another for metal, a classical playlist, a medievalish playlist (think Danheim, Heilung, The HU, etc), and another for just jazz. I also have playlists for the decades spanning from the 50's to the 90's. Ended up doing playlists for whenever I'm feeling really good, and for whenever I'm down in the dumps, just in case.

The decades playlists really help with being handed the aux. Most people don't do well going from Toto or Green Day to Messhuggah and Opeth, so, dividing a genre by decade is good. I know my grandma will not vibe with Polyphia, so I play her some latin music, classical, or jazz, and she's fine with it.

This leads to many, many playlists, and there's a lot of overlap, but I don't really mind as long as I can make sure I have a playlist for any mood I might find myself in.

Don't know exactly but something similar to a mixture of a brave, true, and cool statement. Think it was first used by right wing chuds but then adopted ironically by terminally online liberals.

You'd say "based" if you agree with the political messaging of something.

(Pls correct me if I'm wrong)

My dad ain't nice but he can be tolerant, my mum can be nice but her extremely narrow worldview does not let her be tolerant, and my grandma is neither nice nor tolerant. Never met really met my other grandparents to comment.

They never challenged their conservative upbringing, and never faced progressive values until well into their adulthood, since social issues move at a glacial pace where I'm at. I don't blame them for having those values at some point, but they should strive to change (well, my parents at least).

Glad you liked it! It's become a staple for me during the summer.

Even then, it'd take a lot more than just equal quality and compatibility. Folks are too used to Adobe slop to switch.

I've recently started using Affinity instead and ngl, it's getting there. No AI stuff (which is a plus for me), runs better, and is capable of doing damn near the same things.

coffee milk.

You might like a bombón coffee. Take condensed milk and espresso, and mix them real well. You're aiming for a 50/50 but that might be too sweet, so adjust accordingly.

I make it out of good quality instant coffee, condensed milk, caramel, ice, cinnamon, couple drops of vanilla (or real vanilla if you're bougie), and whole milk. Put it in a big ass jar and store in the fridge. Great for 35C+ weather.

At the time it felt like I should be learning something but I just felt a bit ashamed, being nagged and all. Yk the saying, wisdom was chasing me but I was faster. Just needed my knees and back to ache for it to catch up. It honestly wasn't even age that got it to land. I just met people that didn't really go to the same places I did, or had a different idea of a hangout spot. I needed to see stuff with my own eyes to learn.

I'm slowly making my way through leftist theory, and introducing my equally-as-privileged friends into it, and have managed to change some of their beliefs which previously were set in stone. They're still liberal as shit, but at least now understand socialism/communism isn't just people trying to take their stuff.

Must've been around 13-15, went to a pizza hut with my then girlfriend. I saw a darker skinner, heavy-set lady walking over to the counter with her two kids, all of them looking a little dishevelled. Without thinking I said "She looks poor" in probably a demeaning manner to my girlfriend, and she answered "you say that like it's her fault".

I'm dumb as fuck so the penny didn't drop until several years later about the reality of my privilege, and how unfair and fucked up the system really is. Nearly ended up alt-right, now I'm a comrade.
