    IJBM: When I'm bored and IJBM is dead.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.

    yup

    Yeah.


    Well, that means I can try to finally finish The Silence of the Lambs (which is reaching a climactic point, for what it's worth), and I've been looking around for tests on sociology. If I do take the CLEP for it, it might not go too terribly.

    Story of my life, man. Then again, these days, IJBM's pretty dead.

    Speaking of, I got a thread to rez again.

    ^^Eyup. On the other hand, IJBM livening up usually means stupid drama.

    I kinda wish we could have one without the other :/


    Anyway, made a codex for the Serpent's Tongue playtest now that they've released the cards. Not actually printing the stuff because ink is expensive; instead I'm cutting paper down to the appropriate size and writing the appropriate info on it. Too bad, because the art on these things is awesome.

    We do have activity spikes without drama. But they are pretty uncommon because our topics are pretty narrow

    I'm a damn twisted person
    And small user base. And it being summer so presumably people are out and about because lol, lots of students here.

    Yeah.


    I'm making my Serpent's Tongue playtest cards now. For some reason, I'm actually doing crappy little doodles of the art.

    IJBM: Time signatures are confusing the crap out of me. Notes & scales I can somewhat understand, but I gots no rhythm.



    I should bump that music theory thread.

    Well, not knowing how to draw does apparently lead to a long and successful career as an artist, but I'm way too much of a perfectionist.

  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    I know Liefeld's art is stupid but I wouldn't say he doesn't know how to draw so much as he doesn't understand basic anatomy.

    Bah. Do I suck it up and buy an $80 replacement charger for a computer that is disatisfactory in some ways but works alright most of the time, pay about $500 and assemble a computer that will perform at least as well but won't be portable, work 16 hours to receive a free computer that will be pretty crappy but will at least let me type and go online and such...or maybe get used to typing everything on my phone?
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    Can you save up to make your computer better after buying the charger?

    ^^^I'd argue that he has perspective issues too, but perhaps I should have said "not knowing how to draw remotely realistically."

  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.

    I don't think the issue is that he can't draw realistically either. I mean, Timm's a pretty awesome artist and I wouldn't say people look like this


    Liefeld's issue is that his art is very fucking ugly and that his characters proportions lose any sense of humanity, which is cool in characters like the Hulk (Kinda) but with, say, Captain America, it only creates a phenomenon I like to label as "Super Soldier boobs"

    The computer in question is a Mac, so not really much chance of upgrading.



    Ah-ha! Google reveals that thanks to a class action settlement I can just go to the store and get it replaced for free!



    I'd make a joke about frivolous ligitigation but this thing is seriously an electrical hazard so it's actually pretty reasonable.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    ^^Well, the thing is that as far as I can tell, Liefeld is trying to draw (haha) some sort of compromise between realism and...not sure what the term is. Overmanliness? Does that convey what I mean? And the result is kinda some weird corollary to the uncanny valley.

  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.

    True enough, I suppose. I guess I just get tired of the "realism argument" in comic books. It's one of those words that people don't seem to know how to use sometimes.

  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    Yeah, fair enough. Unrealism is fine, great even, as long as it's well-executed.

  • KrakenKraken
    I've looked at some of Liefeld's art recently and I would also say that another of his big problems is his lack of consistency.



    Swords changing appearance and size, scabbards appearing and disappearing, placement, hair length, that sort of thing.

    And let's not forget objects drawn in later under hands that obviously weren't meant to be holding anything.

    Number of Serpent's Tongue cards I've drawn out: 5


    Number of cards in a deck: 33


    This'll take awhile, but the person I'll be playing with is busy, so meh.

    So it turns out the suit was for a different kind of charger, so I'm back to square 1.


    Since the law has failed me, clearly I must turn to a life of crime. I'll launch a daring string of orange-themed robberies, so that when I steal from the Apple store no one will suspect me.

  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    but bastion

    Oh, good, I can skip straight to the "robbing Apple" part of the plan. Then when the police start questioning people, everyone'll be all "it couldn't have been him, he loved oranges."
