loaExMachina, (edited ) to greentext in Anon is metal as fuck

Nah, it’s like with garlic. There are many ways to cut, but what really brings out the flavour is if you crush it. Which is why I’m in the ceiling with my hammer.

Whomp whomp

loaExMachina, to animation in Evangelion studio Gainax files for bankruptcy

Good riddance. All the talents from that studio are now either at Khara or at Trigger. Gainax has long since been an empty husk, just trying to reap profits from the old works of people who have since left it. Here’s a pretty good article detailing the falling out between Hideaki Anno and the Gainax executives: www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/…/.154892

loaExMachina, (edited ) to rpgmemes in I'm not complaining

Last year I re-played a few Flash gamed I’d played as a child, and one of them was Armadillo Knight, one of my favorites, which had three games hinting at a lore and ending of a cliffhanger. I wanted to find any information on the “Armadillo Knight” universe as I could, and I found the name of it’s creator (tho I’ve since forgotten it). He actually had had a furafinity account, so I went to that site for the first time, to see if there was some Armadillo Knight lore over there. Yeah.

loaExMachina, to showerthoughts in Murder doesn't cause death

It’s okay, I just don’t set my home on fire.

loaExMachina, to showerthoughts in Murder doesn't cause death

Just maths.

Of course, this has no moral or political bearing, I am no advocate of murder. Just a little unintuitive fact.

It plays on the ambiguity of the word “cause”. Is the cause the reason why something was going to happen, or the reason why it happened precisely when it did? Say you set a stone on another at such a fragile balance that it could fall at any moment for any reason. Five minutes later, the wind blows and the stone falls. Was the cause of the fall you setting the stone where you did, or was it the wind? That’s debatable. But now, assume you put the stone on a big snowball instead. As it gets warmer, whatever you do, the stone will end up on the floor. Say a squirrel jumps on the snowball and the stone falls before the snow has melted. If you see the stone at this time, and are asked why the stone is on the floor, you will certainly blame the squirrel. But if you only see the stone being set, the leave and come back in the summer. If asked why the stone is there, certainly you will think that the cause was that it was set on a snowball. But then, does it matter whether or not you know about the squirrel? If there had been a squirrel and the stone hadn’t been set on the snowball, the stone wouldn’t be one the floor there. But if the stone had been set on the snowball and there hadn’t been a squirrel, it would now still be on the floor at roughly the same place. Therefore, the squirrel isn’t the determining factor. However, whether you ask the question before of after the snow has melted changes your answer.

We think as murder (the squirrel) as the cause of death because we ask the question before the snow has melted (before a person’s natural lifetime has elapsed). But if you consider it on the long term, the answer changes. The murder is no longer the cause of death.

loaExMachina, to lotrmemes in He is a herald of woe.

We’re really entering the hyrax era of meme culture, I’ve seen more hyrax memes in the last month than in all the rest of my life up to then.

loaExMachina, to lotrmemes in Do it for Aragorn's approval

Fool, a man bothers not with bags, packages or any sort of vessel. For his hands have enough fingers to hold each fruit, each spaghetto and each grain of rice, and evey liquid from milk to bleach, without bottle, without mixing them and without a drop lost. If your hands cannot do that, they’re the hands of a woman.

loaExMachina, to memes in Governments hate what they cannot control

Has there been threats or suggestions of a government blocking Lemmy, or is this just pessimistic anticipation?

loaExMachina, to comics in Butter efficiency

But doesn’t she have to then remove the paper from the slice? Wouldn’t that take more time if she ends up taking several?

loaExMachina, to linuxmemes in Init wars part 1

Thanks!

loaExMachina, to linuxmemes in Init wars part 1

I guess I could upload the kra files (there are four of them since I made each panel separately, exported them to png and arranged them a fourth krita doc). Tho if I did that, would it even count as open source? A .kra file isn’t really a source code, it’s an archive that contains binaries.

loaExMachina, to comicstrips in Hit one for me

Baby don’t hurt me

loaExMachina, to fdroid in Best apps for digital art/graphic design?

I believe Krita is on F-Droid and it’s my go-to program on desktop, tho I couldn’t get ot to work correctly on my phone or the outdated tablets I could get my hands on (it launched, but I was stuck on a part of the screen and couldn’t move, or close the window that opens at the start to create a document because the “close” button was outside my screen). so I don’t know how it’ll be on your tablet.

That aside, I really didn’t find many open source Android apps for Graphic design. I sometimes use Pocket Paint, but it sucks and I only use it to make comically bad art for memes.

loaExMachina, (edited ) to comicstrips in It's done. My masterpiece...

Wow, you go straight to hating it without leaving your seat? I usually have to either go to sleep or go out to do something else to leave some time for my idea of the drawing to grow further from the actual drawing before it happens.

[Edit: I answered as if it were about a drawing when it’s about a text. I don’t have any funny or useful insight to give about the later, since I can’t relate: Everything I’ve ever written was perfect. Also, I don’t write.]

loaExMachina, to linuxmemes in Shit...

He’ll get very virulent in the X vs Wayland debate before he even learns what these mean.
