You move from the city to a cozy rural town. You inherit your grandfather's land, and set to working it. It's a big plot, so once you make enough, you can even pay some of the townsfolk to harvest and plant for you. The mayor thanks you for revitalising the village, and bestows upon you a shiny medal. One day, the civil unrest creeps closer, and a battalion of the revolutionary peoples army comes to town. They oust the mayor, and have the townsfolk establish a council. You can't sell your crops at market right now. The council, ultimately, decides to collectivise the town's farmland, most of which is yours. Do you work on the farmland that was once yours as a labourer, and accept only your share of the collective's wealth? Do you help the mayor, who is returning with the national guard? and whoch of these seven fuckable sprites do you chose to be your wife/boywife?

what version of the game have you been playing

please🙏
⛔Stop a minute‼️

Get to know Hashem's family

My name is Hashem from Gaza. I am 32 years old and my wife, Samar, is 27 years old. We have a child born in the eighth month of pregnancy. His mother was premature because of my wife's fear of war. My large family consists of 8 members: my father, mother, four male brothers and 2 females. My father died in the war due to a lack of medicine in hospitals as a result of the fierce war on Gaza.

My story began when we were displaced from our home in northern Gaza in mid-October 2023 after a letter threatening eviction, and then the house was targeted and destroyed. Between this Exodus and the current fifth Exodus there are many stories and sufferings.

We now live in plastic tents, which are thermal ovens, which are not suitable for living and do not provide the minimum necessities of life, in addition to the spread of epidemics and diseases, which puts our lives in danger.

Through this campaign, we are trying to collect enough money to meet our needs and get us out of the Gaza Strip safely. We ask you to stand by us and protect us from this severe danger.

Support and share🤍

best wishes:

Hashem alshawish

"the switch 2 prices are fine actually, just look at the inflation compared to 2017"

oh well that's fine then.

I mean, everyone's wages have risen along with inflation, right?

the minimum wage went up, right?

everyone has lots of disposable income, right?

you could never make me spend 80 dollars on a video game honestly

450 for a console is a price id be willing to put savings towards to get eventually in theory. but if the games are gonna be 80 dollars i just dont think its worth it. nintendos unparalleled levels of greed on display have turned me off beyond belief. pay money to play enhanced versions of games you already own on the new console. pay 70 for a digital game and 10 dollars more for physical. pay 80 for this digital game code so you can download the game. spend money on the tech demo. like be so fr right now

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

not to be a killjoy but it's still crazy to me that it's considered mean to be like "maybe you should read / play / watch the source material before creating fanworks and diving into the fandom" bc every time i see somebody going "i havent played disco elysium or know anything about it tbh but uwu here's harry and kim kissing" idk maybe you should engage with it. maybe you should play the anti-capitalist surrealist game where you investigate the murder of a mercenary who led the gang rape of a foreign girl and process that for a bit? and then you can do cutesy mlm or whatever idc. but like at the absolute bare minimum you should understand what the source material involves otherwise we get the phenomenon of people joining a dragon age server and wanting content warnings for like, mage racism. like it's fine to ship and transform the genre into whatever but if you arent comfortable with discussions of the actual source content itself then maybe the fandom isnt for you and a different one is. peace and love.

actual peace and love would involve letting anyone who wants to do things do them, without judgment.

I don't think there is anything unreasonable about the idea that if someone isn't comfortable with actual discussions of the source material they should probably not insert themselves into the fandom. And I struggle to see how this has anything to do with ableism as per your tags.

Given that people who don't know the source material often invade fandom spaces and then get Upset at us for talking about the source material or informing them that no we're talking about actual canon shit and not our headcanons? I think we're allowed to judge folks who don't engage with the media at least a Little before they engage with the fandom.

When someone who isn't in a fandom is yelling at me about how my blorbo is clearly [specific neurodivergence] when they haven't even looked at a screenshot of the game, and refusing to listen to me and calling me ableist when I'm explaining that no blorbo is [OTHER neurodivergencies], we're allowed to judge that someone for things.

When folks are coming into the Murder Rape Incest Fandom and going "hey I don't watch the show because it's all Murder Rape Incest, but the character designs are pretty so can you like. Stop playing with Murder Rape Incest in the Murder Rape Incest fandom and tag it and hide all the stuff that already exists because I don't want to see Murder Rape Incest in the Murder Rape Incest fandom space and also you're terrible people for writing and drawing Murder Rape Incest in the Murder Rape Incest fandom" we're allowed to judge them.

When people are coming into Dragon Age and going "uh hey the core topics and themes of Dragon Age make me really uncomfy can we ALL agree that because I'm here now, we're never going to talk about the Core Topics And Themes Of Dragon Age so I don't have to see it? Or that you'll just all spoiler tag everything forever and then I'll get mad that I'm left out of the conversation because Everyone Needs To Spoil All Talk About The Games?" we're allowed to judge them.

Engage with the media that you claim to love. Sink your teeth into it and feel its juices join with yours. And if you can't do that maybe consider finding a different fandom.

hi!! do you have any advice on how to finish projects faster? or at least more efficiently? i take a few days to finish a piece (1 or 2 days at minimum) and i want to learn how to refine my process

that can depend a lot on what kind of look you’re trying to achieve, and what exactly is slowing you down!

things you can do if you take too long doing lineart:

  • Practice sketching in pen & marker! Do exercises that train your hand to be more efficient. If you can draw the same thing with 5 lines that previously took you 20, you’ll cut down on time.
  • Try a different brush! Maybe the one you’re using is too soft, and you have to keep going back over the lines to make them dark enough. There might be another brush that gets the same result with less effort.
  • Zoom out! On paper, a drawing that’s 2 inches tall will take wayyyy less time than a drawing that’s as big as your torso. When you zoom in, you’re essentially making the whole drawing bigger. When I draw, I like to be able to see the whole pose. If you’re worried about it not being perfectly clean, I promise you, no one is paying that close attention.
  • Skip the lineart entirely! Odds are, your sketches might already be pretty clean. If it takes you 20 minutes to do a sketch and 2 hours to do the lineart, but the lines look almost the same, then why bother doing the lineart?

similar advice for coloring/rendering!

  • Maybe it’s your art software! I can color 10x faster in CSP than anything else, because CSP makes it really easy to color in flats.
  • Limit how many types of brushes you use. There ARE certain effects (like convincing digital watercolor) that really do need 5-10 different brushes to get the look Just Right, but going through your tool menus to swap brushes will add time. When I render (which is rare, honestly) I stick to one, maybe two painterly brushes.

other general advice:

  • Don’t be so hard on yourself! Honestly, 1-2 days is still objectively pretty fast!
  • If you’re a perfectionist who will arbitrarily spend too much time fiddling and fiddling until it’s justttttt right, try setting timers! Give yourself a predetermined amount of time for the lineart, for the coloring, for the rendering, etc and MOVE ON once that timer goes off. Not everything you do has to be your magnum opus.
  • Use keyboard shortcuts!!!!!!!! I don’t like using screen tablets, especially if I can’t use shortcuts. If you have a tablet with programmable buttons or some kind of remote, that can work too. I see people use bluetooth xbox controllers sometimes, which is a good option if you already have that. Personally, I use so many shortcuts that there are never enough buttons to program, so I just stick with a keyboard.
  • JUST KEEP AT IT! The more you draw, the faster you get. I avoided doing paneled comics for nearly 10 years cause they took so much effort, and would only do comics where each panel was its own layer/image. After enough time doing that, I eventually got good enough at everything else to do with comics that the paneling aspect wasn’t that difficult anymore.
