You know as a woman myself I do take a little bit of an issue with the notion that the singular goal of a female character is to be conventionally attractive
#off-topic
teal iron
I mean a lot of American companies are so allergic to the idea that they just make awful designs for no other reason but I'm starting to think there's a very dangerous line between "I want good character design" and "I want women to look up on the internet" that some of the people pushing posts like this are either approaching themselves or inviting other people to approach

Half of those “Western” woman images look like men

its the concept of "a woman cant be a good character unless she looks ugly and "defies" convention" thats ruining the designs
you can be conventionally attractive and still be an interesting character

on a scale of 0 (ugliest) to 10 ( most attractive) youve got a team thats arguing women should be 8+, and a team trying to "defy conventions" making women 3 or lower. you can "defy convention" and still make a character a 6 on that scale

There is a reason behind this. Apparently, strong solar storms can mess with the electronics on an A320. An incident like this did occur when one A320 suddenly lost several thousand feet in altitude. Now, over 6,000 aircraft are being grounded until they receives a software patch, which is being passed around right now.

Both Zeraora and Lucario seem to have this new, kinda messy style to their designs

I think someone's trying to scam me over a commission.
In another server, I posted a request for a model edit. Got a message today, talked to them about what I wanted, they were very pushy about wanting the money up front, so I paypalled it. The immediately refunded the PayPal saying they were having issues on their end and wanted me to buy a gift card through another site.
Is this common scam practice? Or am I being paranoid?

Definitely a scam. I had this happen to me before where they were insisting I buy a "legit gift card"

Hmmm, ok then.

Hmmm, ok then.
It's a scam to scan your credit/debit card information, an artist who's legit would never demand you buy a gift card for a commission
I'm not sure if most nowadays do want you to pay up front, but usually they want you to see the scratch first before the final product and then make you pay after it's done
teal iron
I've received a gift card for a commission because I didn't have a pay-pal but tbf I didn't actually ask for payment
peak folio
Yeah if anyone asks for a gift card as a payment it’s definitely a scam.
Paypal, if they ghost you it’s easy for the transaction to get reversed.

so I guess it wasn't a commission because they paid me after the fact

I spent ages measuring exactly how big of a building to make just to be able to sit 15 of the large Pal beds in a nice orderly fashion, all equally spaced out. I have one particular spot I always make my "starter" base, and always build exactly the same way because once you figure out something they works, why change it?

You haven't seen the suffering I saw
I had a magnificent huge base that had to be rebuilt

Because one day every oal in the base would cross a bridge to one specific spot, stand there and spin in circles
Didn't matter which pal, how big, how many I put out
They just went there and span around forever
night plume
I think my worst build sorrow was on 7dtd. I found a destroyed building and rebuilt it up and made myself a bachelor pad. I was super proud of it.
One night, when returning, the game glitched and didn't load a number of assets....
In front of my eyes the entire base crumbled down bc the primary asset that didn't load was the block I used to build the structure of the base

After I walked up to the base, it loaded a lot of the missing assets >.>

Go to a coffee shop.
Sit at a table.
Put up a sign that looks like a dating profile bio.
And offer to buy a coffee if you connect
zinc depot
It is original I'll give you that
Seems like the result will be some people trying to f£%# with me, lol
night plume
Majority on dating sites are looking to just hook up.
Those who are actually on there to find someone have the most trouble bc they only see the hook up people or the crazies.
A bar is kind of pointless bc it is usually similar to the dating sites.
Grocery/department stores will be seen as weird.
So that leaves going out and finding a new hobby and happenstance meeting someone or finding somewhere you can set up to meet someone.
Coffee is great and you can buy "some" for pretty cheap. A number of people want to be social in a coffee shop so giving a clear sign you are looking to socialize and see where it goes seems like a "what have you got to lose?"
zinc depot

This is also dependent on whether or not you have legit coffee shops xD

When my partner and I were dating, they came up with the date idea that we go to the gun range together. I explained I've been shooting bc they kept giving me the spiel of how the range works and that it is far out and everything. You know, making it sound like they go to the range often.
We get to the range, we go in, I flash my card, and my partner just looks at me dumbfounded bc they had to go through the safety training bc it was their first time xD

I would not be opposed to the occasional real world ad on those items within the game IF AND ONLY IF they are SEVERELY moderated.

Yes, EA wanted to put unskippable ads in their games, and Steam responded by banning any game with in game ads
night plume
I agree with Steam's approach, I was just listing in what manner I would find ads in games acceptable.
peak folio
Sports games in the past could update in game billboards with actual ad runs when connected online.
night plume
If I were playing a sports game, I wouldn't mind a sports related ad if the ad space made sense for the game.
Example: football fields have ad banners at the bottom of the stands, placing on there is fine. deletes the other idea bc after typing I relealized that would anger me
peak folio
It’s been an idea though pretty sure it was done at some point.
Cause sports fields and racing are laced in ads in real life and having them in game just on the signage pretty much does the same thing.
At the time people were like “okay if there are all these ads in game why isn’t the game free?”
We’re kind of in a different era with that now. 😅
night plume
The ad better not hinder the gameplay or gameplay experience in any way.
And since they are getting this ad revenue, there better not be microtransactions and paid DLC to continue the main story of the game >.>
