seens kuje tget forgot me again. or dont care. Monday. weekend is over, and no one is checking if i'm starving.
had a horrible chest pain. felt like a giant pin slamming into my chest, shockwave of pain went thru my neck.
that kinda of pain needs a few shots of whiskey.
...I used to draw and paint. Then, arthritis made it too painful and difficult to continue without downing Advil like M&Ms (that has other serious complications, some of which I still endure). That's what led me to using digital tools for my art. Unfortunately unlike the ones of traditional art, the digital tools (including software) have an obsolescence built into them. Software is placing ever heavier demands on hardware while hardware is dictating what OS platform to use.
Never had canvas or paper make those demands.
...that sounds rather serious. I'd get it checked out ASAP.
I agree with kyoto kid on that, what you described does sound pretty serious... maybe go to an urgent care facility if that persists.
I know you hate hospitals, but I'd hate to see the next complaint thread being named after you... please take care of yourself, I know we are all just random thoughts and cranky posts with odd avatars here, but we are your friends and we do care.
That's a liiittle less critical if you don't intend on keeping your softwares up to date at the drop of an update. CS5 still works for me so I never saw the need to subscribe to the new versions.
I've tried doing some traditional drawings a few times, but I can barely stand it :(
Noticed something's just a bit too long/short/misplaced? Erase it all, draw it again or just deal with it. No "Select, Transform, Move" or cloning available. Unless you got the right kinds of pencils/paper/erasers, you're going to leave ugly marks on the paper sooner or later - painting over it would hide it sure, but I do noooot do painting at all. If I'm going to paint, it's going to be in Photoshop :V I just don't have the patience for traditional painting haha
+1 to this
+1000 to this.
But at the same time, if she doesn't see a doctor, I'm not going to keep at this. I won't participate in or co-facilitate a downfall via self-neglect by repeatedly listening, empathizing, or feeling sorry. That may sound a bit hard, but I and my family and close friends have lost too many people in the last 3 years or so, some of whom might have avoided or delayed the final days just by taking common sense action early.
So if you're complaining about aches and pains, I know and I get it. I really do, because I'm among the walking wounded too! And I totally understand that not everything can be fixed. But if you're having fricking chest pains? My God, please do something about it. You never know how much it will improve your situation, or at least improve your mental and emotional health.
And when you've done the things you need to do, you can come back here and complain all you want about that ditz that cut you off in traffic, the side-eye you got from the doctor, the high price of prescriptions at your pharmacy and why oh why, on your way home, did you learn the hard way that your favorite restaurant went out of business due to Covid closures. Just see the doctor! And maybe, if you don't cry too much, just maybe his assistant/nurse will give you a lollipop; probably sugar free.
I must sound really really cold right about now, but it's only because I love you all. And I'm not easy, so my love has a price.
The Forum logged me out while I was reading it. Hatred...
Misty- see a Dr. now. Don't wait, get to an ER ASAP! What happened to you could be life-threatening.
Don't play around with that. Rather go get checked out and be cautious
...understood.
I developed these my skills over a good part of my younger life and took to it pretty quickly at a young age. In my first year of high school I actually brought in a portfolio and was placed in an advanced level art course for the entire four years. Still was a lot of work and had a lot to learn. I majored in Art (along with Music) in college.(never finished though as I was looking to go into arts education when the bottom fell out as back then the first thing schools were cutting were art & music classes).
I really, really miss it. Yes it took time and patience, but the results and enjoyment were worth it (and it was very relaxing).
I've tired to approach 3D in the same manner as I did with traditional art media, though yes it is a whole different language. My goal with this is not only illustrating stories, but also creating gallery quality fine art prints of reasonable size (I'm talking render sizes in the thousands per side so details are too important to not lose to optimising). One would think I would have taken well to 3D modelling, but it isn't like building a scale display model, architectural model, or sculpting as It felt too disconnected (part of the reason I avoided Blender for so long until they finally redid the UI so I could at least use my trackball instead of the keyboard).
Complaint: Log-on woes. Every morning it's the same thing. Several tries before I finally get connected, and then it's not guaranteed to be stable.
What is DAZ doing every morning as I stumble down the stairs and blindly press all the buttons to get my daily fix of DAZ before withdrawal symptoms settle in? Dusting the transistors?
Non-complaint: Wheee..., my 4-port USB3.0 card came in.
Complaint: Boogers! My new USB3.0 card is externally powered (connects to powersupply SATA power cable).
I have two or three unused SATA power connectors but I don't have one within reach of the USB card. So, I had to order a SATA power extension cable. Hopefully, by Wednesday (tomorrow) I'll finally be able to complete this expansion job on my baby-bear computer. Yeah, yeah, I probably could have made an extension cable from used parts and tools at hand. But I did that stuff for 45 years. And I don't want to get involved with scrounging for male and female connectors, then extracting pins from the shell, unsoldering short wires, soldering in new wires, re-assembling pins into shell. Too much close, exacting, eye weary work. Much easier to just poke Amazon in the side and she sends me one, usually within 48 hours.
Conundrum: I'm still not happy with the graphics solution on the baby-bear machine. The GT-730 card is fine outputting HD resolution (1920x1080) but isn't capable of 2K resolution (2560x1440). And now since I access all my machines via my principal 2K monitor this has become a frustration. Which of course means I'm in the market for a better graphics solution. To my rescue comes the new AMD Ryzen5 5600G CPU with on-board graphics better than a GTX-1030 graphics card for only $256 at NewEgg, so I'm sorely tempted to blow my budget again. And if I got rid of my graphics card, It would open up two back panel slots (it only has four, and two are otherwise occupied).
Not to mention give me a faster CPU with 6-cores instead of just 4 as on my current AMD Ryzen5 1400. However, given my budget situation, I'm hoping that I dawdle and dilly-dally enough that NewEgg gets sold out.
Wheee..., very palatable way to save ~$275(cost+salestax).
So I start this little animation going before I head off to bed, and see its only taking like less than a minute to render each frame. Cool, I think. I wake up in the morning and see it's still going - now taking 16 minutes per frame and climbing. I'm not really sure what I can do to stop it from doing that, or at least slow down how fast it adds to the render time - if either's even possible. It's mostly at default settings, besides me adding some dissipation to some values.
Frame 125 of 144, after eight hours:
Complaint got a migraine. Non complaint; took something for it and about to take a nap.
complaint an order from apple might be a reason for migraine. I ordered some earbuds I thought were "free" but I picked out the wrong ones. I been trying to get it figured out but Custer service agent after agent kept getting it more and more confused. This afternoon I got a call from an apple sales supervisor and she figured out the easiest way to solve the issue which doesn't include any hassle that I thought it would have.
Nap time now. Ttyl!
Free anything from Apple?... Are you sure that this offer was actually being made by Apple?... I'm not joking, I get tons of fake Apple offers all the time... I'm sure you wouldn't fall for that, but some can be quite convincing.
When I said free I don't mean the truest free. It is the academic part of the apple store who has the offer. I still had to buy an iPad to get the so called free AirPods. A lot of legit stores offer special offer where one buy x and get y for no extra cost. So is technically free but there is still a transaction involved.
I wanted a brand new iPad but don't mind the AirPods on the side.
...yeah, here you still have to put a freebie in the cart and go through the "purchase" routine to get it so it is still a "transaction", just no money gets exchanged.
That answer was to my post ^^' I've got two out of three. Two of them are free, but the other two aren't.
I barely set foot outside these days, so there's no risk of that. Having said that, the tracking on the package that they're in hasn't been updated since the 7th August :/
Re: Bacon: Mmm... Bacon *drools*
I would love to play Pokemon Go! But I don't have an up-to-date phone. :(
One thing that I tried to create in Daz Studio, just wouldn't come together. So I commissioned someone on DeviantArt (who I thought I could trust) to do it.
They took my money. Fed me complete BS for a year about why/how it hadn't been completed (although it was nearly finished). It's been (just over) two years now, and I haven't heard from them since. That was £65 that I could've used to buy more Daz Studio content (or more Devil May Cry merchandise ^^' ).
I was screwed over by another artist on DeviantArt too at the same time (a third party Daz content creator/converter), too. They took my money, and have avoided me and ignored ALL of my messages since.
I always tell myself that I have to learn how to do conversions or drawings for myself. Except I'm too impatient to learn (i.e. I want to get on with it, and do it now!)
Sorry. I know it doesn't seem like it, but I didn't really mean to rant there. ^^'
As for art, I sketch everything on paper, then scan it onto a computer (although I'm now trying to find a new workflow).
I did life drawing in college. But I've seem to have forgotten most of it. I'm useless when it comes to scaling and distance. My brain just isn't wired correctly to process that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No Amazon. Your driver didn't hand the parcel to a resident. Your driver left it on the doorstep (I was at home, I just couldn't get to the door in time).
At least they're sending me a replacement box. Now what do I do with the one that I have :/ ???
Why do the albums that I want always go up in price? It's getting ridiculous.
I'm so tired, but I've got other stuff to do...
Why is it when I want to find a bookmark it is harder to do than when I'm not looking for one?
The Universe is conspiring against you.
Non-complaint: I got my first commission. I may have gone overboard with the extras... I included high res, low res, two watermark styles, and an alternate version with lingerie, because who doesn't love a little lingerie? I'm waiting for them to wake up now (they live on the other side of the world), so I can show them the finished product. I really hope they like it...
...well, more "bundle mania" tonight, more money saved.
At least more useful shaders as a PC freebie.
I did end up getting the bundle, but I do use 8.1 (more now that I can finally use 4.15 without worry), and I really wanted the masks. I got a good deal too. If you only count the few items I will most likely use, I paid $3 each.
Pm'd you, kyoto kid
I'm burnt out. I've had dealings with my parent's electric provider. I thought it be easier to sort out the problem over social media... "Anatomical Elements" it was!
What no one seems able to comprehend is that the electricity meter is probably 30+y/o. And that you don't have to have error messages to tell you that a fault has developed with it - Although getting one (error or fail message) would be a good thing right now.
I got in contact with an old school friend, but I'm finding it really hard to talk to them. We haven't spoken to each other in 15+ years. I know it's not really a long time. But so much stuff has happened. Everyone I know seems to have done better at life, that what I have. It makes me feel embarrassed and ashamed.
Not sure what to label it but just found out I'm moving again soon.
Surprise ?
i feelin a bit better. is awfully hot.
put ice cubes in the blender. not exactly a slushie but the ice chips feel good going down.
Yes! I just found out.
oh dear
