Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

    You’ll still need to find what to post.

    The tool just makes turning what you find into a post really easy. You just throw danbooru/pixiv/image links at it, and it does the rest.

    I made it mostly because when I go exploring on pixiv, I usually find dozens of images worth sharing, not just the one. If I shared them all right then, it’d be real spammy.

    Queueing them up instead means they get posted over time :D







  • There is nothing specific which makes it “good”.

    You just get used to it. How close anime-style art is to human proportions in terms of the face varies from artist to artist.

    The style has evolved over time, and it can still be taken in a variety of directions depending who is drawing. Some make the eyes huge. Some make them tiny. Some entirely omit the nose. Some make the mouth nothing more than a dot. Some make it near-human in detail. Some draw super detailed ears. Some always cover the region with a wild hairdo.

    The main thing is that the stuff is drawn by people who are already used to it, and find it appealing. They then change it however they like to increase the appeal for themselves and others.

    Over time the style changes overrall to become whatever people find appealing, which means it has ended up quite wierd for everyone that isn’t already accustomed.

    Bottom line, there’s no logic. Some theorize anime characters take their facial proportions from cats rather than people (because they’re cute), but that isn’t too consistent either.



  • When looking into the sources used to establish histories, it’s hilarious how often you find there’s just a bunch of historians trying to descipher exactly how seriously they should take one historical figure smacktalking another historical figure, or how accurate they should consider someone’s recounting of their own exaggerated god-like deeds.





  • Not a show.

    It’s a game on steam.

    Runs on a potato, free, and beatable in about an hour.

    Killer gameplay:

    • Traverse hell in search of love.
    • Win the hearts of horrible demon girls.
    • Kick adorable skeletons around.
    • Solve puzzles as efficiently as possible.
    • Or just skip puzzles in the menu.
    • Try to not get murdered by demon girls.
    • Get murdered by demon girls anyway.

    The only other canon is the comic series by the creator (which I posted in order back when I started the community if you wanna read it).

    The rest is literally just a mountain of fan-art.





  • It’s never stopped me from writing working stuff, or coming back to change it even if it’s all gone from my head.

    I give functions and variables descriptive, at times sentence-lenght names, which makes shit real obvius for myself.

    It also makes finding sections of code easier, because I just need to vaguely remember shit to ctrl+f my way to the right lines.

    Still means that whenever other people see my code they go “wtf dude, you live like this”.
