#larger batteries

[sol-flo]

soo impatient for my packidges today.... i wanna see what 20gb ram can do..... the year of the gamer.......

#bought 16gb for 20gb total...... absolute overkill for my usual games but the price difference from 8 wasn't that big #and this is more future proof #also got a new ssd bc dual booting has made my windows partition a bit cramped (and it was cheap) #like even stupid modern game sizes aside. btw i downloaded a demo yesterday. for an indie game. nearly 17gb. #that's larger than the sims 2 complete collection. that's basically skyrim + a dlc #anyway yeah. eventually i'll get a new battery as well bc mine is at a limited capacity which is annoying on a notebook #but theyre kinda expensive. more than the ram+ssd combined actually #and second package is a vibrator. but you don't need to know that. part of the year of the gamer of course

it felt very cathartic to smash a car window in order to access a replacement for the window that got shattered when my car was broken into

#context: found corolla at junkyard but it had power windows instead of a crank. no battery in car. i needed the small rear window #and to get that out you need the larger rear window out of the way... so... #found a starter sitting around on the floor and chucked at the big window it was great

Art dump for @corey-bucks

#wordgirl #becky botsford #theodore mccallister iii #tobecky #oc #digital art #wavie's art #wavie's queue #tumbkr nUKeS the quality of larger pics so I'll post em up on deviantart soon lol #(I had a ton of fun playing around with colors and lighting~) #(hngg still really like how cute the furry tobecky came out 🥺👌🏼) #(music wise listened to calm electronica and punk/alt rock :3) #(sis and bro in law saw me coloring the last one on my low battery tablet. Managed to clean it up once I charged it again xD)

so when i was reading reviews for the new laptop i was going to buy the number one super duper complaint that everyone had about it was that the speakers were absolute trash. and after having it for a few weeks i can understand where they're coming from BUT the problem is not actually the speakers it's where the speakers are positioned. they face down and out on the underside of the laptop edges instead of upwards. if i cup my hands around the speakers with my palms facing upwards so the sound can actually travel towards my ears instead of into my lap the sound quality is actually just as good as the sound quality on my macbook air. the real question is not the quality of the speakers but why the company thought it was a good idea to position the speakers like this when in reality there is more than enough room next to the keyboard to position the speakers instead. on the bright side since the sound quality is muted it kind of brings a "3am gas station overhead speaker" vibe to the party that works really well with some songs i listen to

#and to be entirely fair i did not buy this laptop for its sound quality. i bought it to be a workhorse #and it has more than lived up to that. and the battery life is so fucking good. and it's never crashed on me at ALL compared to my #macbook air which crashed on me every ten minutes. AND it's both larger and LIGHTER than my macbook air. i love this thing

Finally found the screwdriver able to open the 3ds backplate and my sd card is 4gb. Its also getting a cleanup because oh my god its filthy

#yadda yadda yadda #thats what i get for using it for years and years and years and not stopping to think. hey maybe this should be cleaned out 😰 #battery seems fine too which i expected but am also glad to see #need to check my vita too #actually does the vita take microsd. i could swap them if its larger... #THE VITAS IS FUCKING PROPRIETARY!!! EWW #its only 8gbs tho

[bitchkay]

Yall my artist spirit is coming back😝😝

#i still need a new tablet though😔👊🏽 #drawing in my sketchbook is definitely fulfilling in it own way but ive ive caught myself one too many times trying to zoom in the paper💀 #i also just prefer digital art #now that i have more modivation to draw i wanna do something productive and produce some of my ideas ive had #i can draw on my phone now that ive cleared space but despite having a wide screen phone its still pretty small #and i just changed my glasses so maybe just maybe a larger screen might benefit me #i also need a new laptop #i was using that to draw when my tablet start acting up cus its old but now my laptop is broken????? #i thought that was really rude of my laptop to just stop working #it stop working like right after i handed in my last assignment of the semester💀💀 #it said baby i can't do this anymore #the battery was already shit too so maybe it was a sign #but now i need a laptop+tablet for the new semester in fall- listen #drawing is whats keeping me sane rn but also a cause of stress cus i lack the resources i both need and want

[continuousmeowing]

i love my fucked up laptop so much. my wife who has every disease.

#her screen broke so i had to get it repaired. but the screen she was repaired with is slightly larger than her original screen. #so it's kind of just......always on the verge of popping off. plus she can't really close properly? #she runs linux mint but whenever she boots up there's an error message that goes away after a few seconds. #her black paint has worn off in several areas and you can see the metal #her chassis itself is dented in several places (including one of her usb ports) and her headphone jack doesn't work #her battery life is godawful and she's too big to fit comfortably into a bag #i actually had the chance to get a new computer when her screen broke. and that probably would have been the smart thing to do. #but i just love her so so much. shes so purely mine and i adore that <3

[whoviandoodler]

need to draw a comic abt the phenomenon of 'i care abt this person so so much even tho i know little about them and now have to behave normally around them because they do not feel the same way oh god they don't feel the same way please don't let them find out that they live rent free in my head there is no way to explain how i feel without sounding creepy and weird and my feelings being sorely misunderstood and so i have to pretend i care only a little (a normal amount) and slowly but surely cut them out of my life because i cannot bear the thought of them seeing me as a burden and i cannot bear the truth that i will never have the kind of relationship that i want with them'

#Had a good old cry abt Life tonight. And i want to never be near anyone again #This is platonic btw not romantic #Everything is hard and idk if i want to keep doing it. And trying on and on #In a state of mind where im like. Considering if i want to keep on existing #and teah mental illness and all but. Sometimss it's a matter of just. Idk if i want this job anymore #Im so tired of this person they have done nothing wrong but i dony want to deal w how i react to them anymore #Its tiring and starts me on spirals tgat are far larger and more damaging #And i constantly have to act this way and that lest they have a single thought i am Creepy and crossing Normalcy #Anyway gn my battery is dead lol

[butchtaurus]

got this cute ass portable solar battery charger for camping. it’s so tiny 🥹

it comes with 3 light bulbs that attach to it too lmao. this is mostly like emergency use, bcuz i also got a solar powered phone charger which is about the size of the phone. but it does have bluetooth connection and fm radio so that’s neat too! it was 60$

#the manual is very made by someone using like google translate or something #the solar panel is also larger than the battery

[dapperrokyuu]

Official Dell company wont even spare you a screwdriver with its computer part, this is worse than Amazon sellers except for the fact that said Amazon sellers wouldnt sell batteries to my location, dajfjkadl-

#dee p thoughts #the batteries was also cheaper. ah well its better to get the official I suppose- but man a pretty penny and not even a screwdriver smhhh #battery came in a larger box than expected with cushioning. the official company wanted to make SURE you wouldnt get back at them for damag #during shipping lol

Portfolio advice, from a lead who hires Concept Artists

(This was originally a twitter thread I wrote before the site self imolated, hense it's strange structure.) I wrote this after a weekend of portfolio reviews - 1. Like a maths exam, please please show your working. I want to see thumbs options, mid options and of course a final design.

2. Arrange your portfolio, I don't want to bounce about between subject matter and pipeline. Your portfolio's narrative should be as strong as your work... 3. Please make worlds that excite the viewer, make them want to go in and explore them, explain to them the interesting parts of the town, or the way the character's hat unfolds. How will this draw the viewer in? 4. As I've said before the majority of your project work is explanatory not mood, make sure your portfolio contains explanatory work. Explained here -

5. A lot of beautiful post apocolyptic paintings, , but 80% of realistic games and film, we just give the environment artists photo ref, they are capable artists in their own right. Different work in stylised where you do need to create rules for how things can be translated. 6. Production art contains call out sheets, material references and flat graphics. This doesn't have to be your final image, but it should support it.

7. Design characters on a swatch(es) of the environment they will be viewed in. Not on white. I make swatch backgrounds from screenshots, it avoids assumptions that damage readability. 8. Reverse of this, put people in your environments, show me the scale.

9. It's not a deal breaker for a review, but if you intend to get a job, please show me your work on a screen larger than a smartphone (print outs probably the cheapest option with the best battery life). 10. Please have your contact details clearly visible, and by that I mean email address, I will not pass your social media contact on, I cannot input your form into my tracking system. EMAIL ADDRESS emblazoned and bake it in, sometimes recruiters do funky stuff to pdfs

11. Your portfolio will never feel done, not to you anyway. You will have learnt from your latest pieces and want to apply it to older work. But we know art is a journey. Send your portfolio anyway. I've been in the industry 10+ years and my portfolio is still not 'finished'. 12. If you are applying to an environment centric Concept Art position then please vary your times of day! Golden hour is cool but show me some happy sunny days, looming overcast days, what about at night? Vary your weather too! Sunny snowy day? Rainy Spring day? Stormy night?

13. If you are applying for a character centric Concept Art role then please ensure your portfolio shows a variety of body types and ethnicities. 14. Designing characters for games? Please show back views and feet (!) Many potfolios contain only front views. This is a problem because:

You haven't shown you are considering the design from all angles.

In many games rear view is the main view.

Stop cropping feet.

15. If you are entry / graduating and looking at Portfolios to compare content and standard of yr own work too, look at hired grad/junior artists as opposed to seniors Seniors and leads often have old or personal work in their portfolio which isnt representative of the day job. 16a. Show clearly the intended use case for your Concept Art. Mention the game type in the description. Are these player character designs for a 3rd person adventure game? Then more back views please. Bonus points for diagetic ways of showing health / equipment / role etc.

16b. Are these designs for an FPS? Then really the player view of the gun needs to sell the player style/ choices, in an FPS your weapons are almost your character. Are these world designs? What's the view distance? For an RTS your shapes need to read from above & a distance. 16c. The lack of clarification means I am judging the design in isolation, which both harms the design (you might be considering the backview of a char as the main adventure character.) Or an NPC, their waist up expressions may be important for conveying exposition and mechanics.

16d. Concept art is not separate from gameplay, great concept art serves the game team before it is a good illustration.

17. Play games. A variety of games. Think about them. IMO to be a good concept artist you need to understand the common language & references used by your peers. Also understand the principles and common language your audience are used to. FPS design rules are v.diff from RTS.

18. There are many skills that are needed in concept art, please show them. For example: Graphic design - logos, liveries, typographic use etc. VFX concepts - Abilities, Ambience, motion concepts. Architectural knowledge - How buildings are built! & more but I'm out of space :O

bluetooth j.t.

Pairing: Jason Todd x Reader

Warnings: A little suggestive if you squint

Word Count: 1.2k words

You don't know how you allowed yourself to get manipulated into being a girlboss and moving out of your childhood home to live in your own apartment. While it was nice to have your own privacy and decorate your home however you liked, you realized just how many privileges you lost now that you weren't in the care of your parents.

There was no one there to make sure you woke up on time in the few cases where you slept through your alarm, no one that you could call on your way back from work to ask to switch on the water heater so you could take a steamy shower immediately.

You didn't have your mother's homecooked meals and you didn't have your father to pick you up snacks from the grocery store.

And one of the biggest thorns in your side was the reason you were dreading the entire day. Car maintenance. The auto shop was one of the most daunting places in your life as a girl who knew nothing about cars. Never once had you regretted not learning how to take care of your car or even the procedure required when you eventually take your car down to the auto shop.

But now standing in the hot and dusty garage, you were seriously rethinking your life choices. You should've scheduled these things for when your dad was visiting so you could ask him to take it instead. Or, even better, you should've gotten a boyfriend.

You were complaining in your head, dragging your feet about having to be here in the first place and whined about handing your car keys, with a bunch of adorable keychains attached to some rando.

But when Jason Todd, 6'2 man with biceps that were larger than your own head and a body that looked like he was shaped out of marble by Michelangelo himself walked out with a form for you to fill out, you were all too happy to be there.

Perhaps you'd be leaving here with a boyfriend after all.

"I have to admit, I don't really know much about cars so please don't scam me."

Jason chuckled, a deep, hoarse laugh that made you a little weak in the knees honestly and the boy-crazed fraction of your brain began to imagine how he would sound as soon as he woke up next to you, after a night of—

"A bit of advice, you probably don't want to let scammers know that you have no idea what they're talking about."

You giggled, scolding yourself mentally for finding that funny.

'Come on, (Y/N), pull yourself together it wasn't even that funny. His face is just great delivery.'

"Or I could keep coming here and have you check my car, since you're so trustworthy." You mused, sparing him a teasing smile.

Jason was completely picking up what you were putting down, giving you a coy smile of his own before responding, "Or perhaps this is just a tactic to get you to keep coming back."

You narrowed your eyes playfully, "Devious."

Looking back at his little clipboard, a thin metal rod of some kind tucked behind his ear instead of a pen, Jason asked, "When was the last time you got your car checked out? If your battery and brake pad was replaced recently, we could probably skip that and just do a routine check to make sure everything's running smoothly."

You winced, "I couldn't tell you, honestly. My dad usually handles this kinda stuff for me, I'm still kind of a new lamb when it comes to taking care of my car."

Jason raised his eyes from the clipboard for a second, "Your boyfriend can't do this kinda stuff for you instead?"

"I don't have a boyfriend."

He perked up immediately and you ducked your head to hide your smile, "I'm sure you probably have a record of it in your glovebox or something. Most places keep a little sticker with the date of your last service under the dash. I'll check it out for you, do you have somewhere to be, or do you have a couple minutes so I can make sure?"

You shook your head, shrugging your shoulders with a carefree smile, "It's my day off so I'm free as a bird."

He grinned, "Noted. Just give me a second."

You watched his back receding as he walked toward your car, shoulders looking like they could span the entire ocean and it was only when he was sat in the car and had turned on the engine did you whip out your phone at lightspeed.

"Ohmygosh Julie, I think I just met my future husband. Holy shit. He's so cute—gorgeous actually. He's working on my car right now and God, those arms, wow. And those eyes? God, I feel blessed just by looking at his face." The end of your message was interrupted by another mechanic running the engine.

You waited patiently for the sound of the engine to die before replaying the voice message so you could re-record the part that got cut off. Only you couldn't hear a thing.

Confused, you increased the volume, taking a sip from your coffee to soothe the inhumane squeal that you had let out while sending Julie the voice message. Once again you heard nothing.

You bit your lip at this, swiping down at the corner of your phone at access your control center and realizing the reason you couldn't hear anything was because it was connected to the Bluetooth on your car.

Wait.

THE CAR?!

You whipped around in horror only to find Jason smirking at you from the front seat of your car. If the world were fair, you'd be struck down with lightning right then and there. Or, since you were at an auto shop, a sentient car might run you over.

Alas, you continued to stand there in horror, completely unharmed no matter how badly you wished to be reduced to a puddle on the ground.

You called him your future husband. The ground should've swallowed you then and there. Instead, you just stood there in complete mortification and embarrassment while you stared at his amused expression.

Something startled him out of his gaze for a second and he pointed at your console, making a gesture like he was taking a call. Confused, you glanced at your phone.

'Incoming call: Julie'

Ah, saved by the bell.

*

"How much do I owe you?" You asked, quickly popping open your purse to fish out your credit card. You had stretched out the conversation with Julie as long as possible, begging her not to hang up and only interrupting her tangent when Jason finally came up to you, saying that your car was good to go.

"It's on the house." He gave you a charming grin, leaning an arm against the counter, "Can't have my future wife paying for anything, can I?"

Your cheeks flared red, still holding out your card for him to take, "O-Oh, I couldn't, really."

"If you insist, then you can always repay me with dinner. Today's your day off, right? Think you can pencil me in for 7?"

A shy smile grew on your face, your body so warm you had to resist fanning your burning cheeks, "Sounds like a plan."

Samsung Galaxy S23 Tipped to Pack Larger Battery Than Galaxy S22

Samsung Galaxy S23 Tipped to Pack Larger Battery Than Galaxy S22

Samsung Galaxy S23 series is expected to be launched early next year. The smartphone family that is said to include three models —Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23 Ultra—is yet to be confirmed by the South Korean smartphone maker, even though we are seeing multiple leaks about the upcoming devices. Now, a Chinese tipster has suggested the battery and display specifications of the vanilla…

The inside of a Door looks like however the Lair Owner wants right?

And? Presumably, the stronger and older the ghost, the larger the Lair the could feasibly create? Not so much because its a show of power itself. But because it takes time to build things and ectoplasm to build WITH. You can't just go to the shop for that couch. You have to will it into existence.

Which also, in and of itself, takes practice.

And? Yeah, maybe most people don't really DO that much? They get a studio apartment and go "meh, good enough"? Maybe add a room or two if they REALLY need it? But OTHERS?

Others would go full minecraft.

You would NEVER be able to tell you were in the Zone from inside that Lair. Much less FIND the doorway out. You've been flying for days. Have you hit the edge yet? Nope. Can you even SEE the walls? Also no. You are... Hella lost. Pls help.

Why do I say this?

Because there are PESTS in Bethany's tranquility garden! Vermin! Disgusting little HUMANS with their FLESHY MEATS and ORGANS just walking around TOUCHING THINGS! They made WASTE PITS in her Lair! WASTE PITS!!! Granted, that's better then spreading it about... and YES, she acknowledges, it HAS been days and they ARE disturbing little meat creatures... BUT STILL!

Your Majesty! Please! They're UNSANITARY! Eating her plants! Touching things with their WEIRD LITTLE MEAT HANDS! Make it stooooop! *sobs in ghost dryad*

Smash cut to said "Vermin"?

Come party in GOTHAM they said! It'll be great PR, they said! You'll HAVE FUN, THEY SAID! Bullshit. Bruce was right and even HE isn't happy about it. At least Diana has had decades of Magical Weirdness training and can take point.

Constantine is still unconscious. Thankfully not concussed, just drained from being used as a battery to force them all HERE.

Well, all things considered, at least the forest is... weirdly tranquil. And glowing.
