Sure, stoically enduring everything is a neat skill, but aren't there things we shouldn't put up with? It is easy to use such philosophies to sweep social injustice under the carpet because the poor can be just as virtuous as the rich, so if that is all that matters, what is the problem?

I think the core problem is when people take philosophies meant to apply personally to help people get through their day to days, and say "This is how the whole system should run"

It is easy to use such philosophies to sweep social injustice under the carpet because the poor can be just as virtuous as the rich, so if that is all that matters, what is the problem? I used to get real annoyed with people dismissing stoicism because I associated it with Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, which boil down to various affirmations on "change the things you can change, and minimize the impact of things you cannot," a wholly sensible life philosophy. Turned out it was a much wider school of thought, with a lot of real stupid ideas in the mix. Perhaps the same can be said of all religions; they're perfectly good and cool, so long as you make sure to dismiss all the stupid and bad ideas.

In the last issue of Tales of the Beanworld, we learned how the beans were born, how Proffy got her hat, and how Mr. Spook became the hero of Beanworld.        The cuties have started playing on their own. Also, more flashbacks incoming. Beast Boy bothers Raven  welcome to fridgetown

Previously on Manly Guys Doing Manly Things, all that work negated by the government 03/26/2018 - Just got back from the airport  quote:you can tell I’m too tired to function because I went to log into my bank account instead of my website to post this at first. 04/02/2018 - Eight years just flew by, huh  quote:It’s funny ’cause when I started making this comic I was only a couple years older than Jared, but eight years later and I’m just a couple years younger than Commander. 04/09/2018 - They probably have to look up their mutual facebook friends to remember how they know her  quote:Okay I actually liked PacRim 2 a lot, but I can’t stop thinking about this scene, it was so bizarre. They kept acting like this character was close friends with them but like… she had no personality, history, or apparent narrative purpose outside of maybe standing between John Boyega and Scott Eastwood to no-homo their characters while they flirted with each other?

uvar posted:Hi Boba if you read these posts at some point. I don't think I mention your comics much because I'm often way back in the thread so commentary felt irrelevant by the time I saw them (and I'm not much into fantasy settings). But when I started thinking about drawing a while ago I re-read a bunch of your posts because I remembered you talked a lot about the process and what you were doing to improve, and they were interesting, both for the content and your different perspective. I was going to write more but I don't actually know what your motivation is (I enjoy making things for myself after years of procrastinating, but there's money, fame, wanting to share a message, etc.) so I just hope your goals don't feel too distant. I do it almost entirely because I had decided early on I would not be a negative attention person, and instead be a person who attracted negative attention by being so shiny. That... Worked, but I wish it worked less lmao. M_Gargantua posted:You make great poo poo, or will make great poo poo, and it will be happy and bring balance to the universe. Yeah, I'm hoping this one is the least confusing of the bunch it's just space one piece. Mx. posted:drat those pages are so good boba. really brilliant background work again, which i keep emphasising because you also fit the characters into the scenes so well which a lot of people dont when they're doing 3d or AI backgrounds. and i dig how often you do full-body character shots, those take so much longer than just doing head-up or waist-up panels That's like my biggest fear, almost every comic has one or two panels I'll dm to random people and be like "Does this look bad, does this look out of place, do they sit in the frame?" I spend so much time trying to get everything seated just right. CrocodileKingSaysNO posted:Princess reminds me of angel from borderlands 2 design wise, dunno if any inspiration was taken from there but I dig the look. I was wondering if you do all the shading by hand or if you have a fast way of doing it. I know that by the time I'm done paneling, storyboarding, sketching, drawing, cleaning up, and finally coloring and adding text I'm usually soooo done and have no energy for shading and there are a lot of different shading styles and techniques but was wondering what your method is like. I responded to this, but Borderlands is one of the inspirations for this setting, that's why a lot of the guns are colored in such fun ways! mycatscrimes posted:Like, whoever did this is not your friend, and they wanted to hurt you. Being hurt is part of putting art out there into the world sometimes, so is finding that what you've made doesn't come off how you wanted it to. But actions like this have no purpose but to tear down, they are useless even for learning from, because people can and will find reasons to tear anything apart for fun. You can learn from people who dislike your art. You can learn from people who criticize you. You shouldn't try to learn from people who just hate you or want to hurt you for entertainment, they have nothing worthwhile to impart. mycatscrimes posted:What a pustule of a human. They can get hosed. Yeah it's one psycho, but it's all good, I've decided I'm just going to put myself out there even more because it makes them seethe.

I laughed at the comic, then I laughed at the notion of actually paying attention to the characters in Pacific Rim.

I have really enjoyed seeing your creativity and growth as an artist and I'm happy you've not been put off creating by this. You have a lot of cool ideas and passion for your work and for improving, and that makes it shine. You are also the only person I've personally seen using AI in a way that gives me hope it can become a useful tool in the creative process and not just a cudgel to hit labor with.

CzarChasm posted:It usually means that the words are breaking his heart or otherwise hurting him. "You're pathetic and so boring, I could never find myself dating a worm like you" kind of talk. Utgard is the location. Utgards-Loki is called that to distinguish him from his more famous namesake, Loki apparently being a relatively common name among Jötunns. Don't worry, you are far from the first one to be confused by this.

Imagine living in your own castle and everyone adds an extra word to your name to differentiate you from the more famous guy that hangs around there sometimes This is basically the "human Dave" situation

Is there some other translation of the location name? Loki being Odin's son is a marvel invention. In the nordic myths Loki is a giant (what they call jotunn in the translation here for some reason), who is Odin's foster brother - a term the norse used to describe super-close manly man pals (no homo). Loki lives with the asar in Asgård, and is often counted among the norse gods. Utgårds-Loki is a giant who lives in Utgård ("The Outer Realm", lit. Out-Farm or Out-Court, home of the giants). They just happen to both be named Loki.

Trees want to maximise surface area and minimize mass, while working within constraints like gravity and wind strength and the flexibility of wood. And so you get these very beautiful fractal patterns, all the same yet all unique. Hooray for trees
