i’ve had this one for a while

Zelda / THEY LIVE crossover centring around the Lens of Truth

might have the beginnings of an idea

hm

i think i will not reply to that post

@monorail i think the reason why it seems that way is that there isn’t much in the way of visual cues in terms of how long your limbs actually are (presumably long)

so the brain is like “oh these are short and tapering rapidly” instead of the correct “these are long and covering a large distance”

which is a perpetual problem of 2D art in general lol. the only real visual cue you have for lines of perspective in this case are like, the difference in angle between the top and bottom of the house

if your only available documentation is an API reference, your project is not documented

my perpetual issue is that i am very much NOT a portland anarchist type but i actually DO seem to perpetually find myself in spaces adjacent to portland anarchist types

the other day a friend sent me a youtube video like “i think you would vibe with this person” and i checked their profile and they were a solarpunk,

@Satsuma Avenue Beat and their recently‐released ‘the debut farewell album’

@monorail always good

it’s hard when you’re really tall though

idc if it got 4 million views

i’ve no problem with the single but don’t fuckin put that on the album

bad sign when your album opener is a meme song you made in 2020

@tindall@cybre.space a generous answer would be that the access point for existing users is typically something other than the front page. for example, if you try to access your dashboard, and you aren't signed in, it will prompt you to sign in, whereas if you navigate to the front page it will ask you to sign up.

another answer is that people have a negative emotional reaction to being asked for things they don't have (like an existing login). if your sign in is more prominent than your sign up, new users will be discouraged and feel like your website isn't interested in them. so there is an interest in only asking for an existing login from people who you know HAVE an existing login, hence a separate page.

however, the most realistic answer is that some popular people started doing this, and most designers are programmed to always favour convention, so everybody followed suit without really thinking through the ramifications. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@monorail i don't think the mechanics of types have been really fleshed-out super well, but it is at least clear that type and physical/special are distinct concepts. i think it's clear that a cat pouncing on something is a physical attack but i think in order to have a type you have to be a pokémon.

especially considering many simple attacks are not Normal, but Fighting (punches and kicks) or Dark (bites)
