SapphoAnd you, my bespectacled, nearly bald dour writer-type, make my circuits run hot!

Shall we run it series or parallel?



Ehi...what's wrong with bald men?


Nothing at all!

Bald can be enticing. Erotic, even if I do say so myself.

Daiyousei7it's ok, we're all gonna live the live action soon


My husband keeps joking that the city looks more and more like a wasteland with all the shops and restaurants closed, many of them bankrupt, and people wearing masks even outdoors, but it's true and not funny at all.


To be honest, I also wear masks outdoors. It's just really easy. You put it on and forget about it. I've never had issues breathing or anything but I'm thin

Posted in the wrong forum, obviously. Pft.

So I created a Mandalorian credits style outro for the Star Wars RP I'm doing. The faceclaim I'm using for my character is Marvel Bucky, and her character is a blonde from somewhere on the internet. I commissioned artwork of our characters, as well as added a few who actually make an appearance in our RP, but every scene is something that happened.

The credits up to 1:22 are a bit hard to read. The Mandalorian uses a brighter shade of brown and a stronger drop shadow for contrast.

That "Hair Designer: Mace Windu" line completely rocks.

@Saka, could not for the life of me find that shade! It was either too light or too dark.
@Meow, Thanks!

Okay, I think I'll put this here just to be safe, but.....

I think I just found the official anthem of the Empire of Achenar in another game's just shortly released launch trailer



edit:

I need that piece of music!

Aleksander Majjam@Saka, could not for the life of me find that shade! It was either too light or too dark.

It's hard to nail down the exact shade they use due to video compression artifacts. However, they seem to aim for a CIELAB lightness between 80 and 81, whereas yours is between 68 and 69. And their drop shadow is basically black and much less displaced. With that much contrast it doesn't matter what's in the background; the text remains readable anyway. The increased lightness also reduces the need for color correction; you'll never get that strong green-on-brown conflict for example.



By the way, they're using a font with a closed loop "g", not a fish hook. Try Libre Franklin Semi-bold 600 from Google Fonts if you want a similar look.

Sure. Shadows that they use (compacted, dark) work as additional underline for the text so it would be readable with any background.

Anyone else have a problem with YouTube that started just a moment ago? (Note: I use Firefox)

My keyboard mainly effects the player now, everwhere else, like in the comments or the searchbar I am able to enter letters and numbers like usual, but the spacebar won't work, it just starts/pauses the video. All other websites seem to work fine, and I also deleted the YT's cookies to force them to reload?

So it's a YT problem. Good to know. Guess will have to wait for them to fix it then...
10 Mar 2021, 9:00pm
OK, seems like they fixed it... at least for the moment.

WarCat72I'm not complaining, or even whining. But what is that point of ganking? I'm a rated mostly harmless, which means I'm not a very worthwhile combat target. I'm not carrying anything of value, yet I get interdicted and smashed flat by a dude in a ORCA. I ask him why with direct messaging, and it's because he heard I was talking about his mom. OK, so he's a ganking twatwaffle. I give it a few minutes, and decided to lauch and clear out of the system, and as my FSD is powering up, he attacks me again. So when I respawn, after a second expensive rebuy, I switch to a Sidewinder and manage to sneak out of the system. I don't understand why I got targeted to begin with.


Assuming that you weren't actually talking about his mom, the answer to your question is very likely the same answer to the question, why does a male dog lick his balls?

Because he can. Because he can.
