Full Blue Moon in Pisces ♦︎ Moon Magick Pick A Card
A Super Blue Moon such as this occurs once every decade, sometimes every couple of decades, according to NASA🪐huehue
Finally, with this Super Blue Moon in Pisces many kinds of generational curses and negatively-polarised karmic bonds CAN and WILL be dissolved. Weirdly persistent patterns of misery and misfortune will be broken and you will gain a renewed sense of being alive. This is an amazing period of massive emotional baggage cleansing.
Those who are especially spiritually inclined, some of you have dealt with ancient curses that either you have carried from hundreds—if not thousands—of past incarnations whilst some others have been transmuting those negative patterns in the bloodline you chose to be born into. For many people, this kind of scenario has caused a great deal of traumatic experiences repeating themselves within the interface of Reality they are viewing in this incarnation.
Fear nomo, bebeh~ That’s all done and paid for. You are now free. You are now safe to experiment with whatever Reality you deem fit for the Goddess/God that you know you are🌸
You are your own person now. Go live your Life. Make your dreams come true. Each one of us deserves to see a world of our dreams turn into Reality. Claim that, Honey. Manifest your own versions of paradise on Earth!💫You are protected by Divine forces~😉

Pile 1 – The Brazen One
Tumblr media
c o s m i c – V The Hierophant
Cosmically, you are being freed from the bondage of time. You were born into this world carrying a sacred mission. So strong is this sense of purpose that you grew up feeling constricted by time. You feel like, you’ve got to achieve some great things rather quickly—before reaching a certain age. You’ve always wanted to become a success—whatever that means to you or your society—at a young age. This fear of running out of time, or generally, this rushed necessity to scurry, is very debilitating to you on a psychological level.
I feel like, if you’ve indeed achieved some great things at a relatively young age, still quite none of it feels enough. You still feel lacking, like some grandiose things larger than life must occur. You’re haunted by some kind of potential you still can’t grasp yourself. The simplest doodle of an explanation to that, actually, is that you’re meant to be of great, great service to Mankind, with whatever talents you naturally possess since you were a child.
Some of you reading this may not want to believe this, but this Pile is for the Ascended Masters. Your Soul is either an Ascended Master or you are working down here closely supervised by a very high-ranking Ascended Master. The former scenario is more prominent for many of you tapping into this reading. You are literally a Bodhisattva reincarnated for a great purpose of healing Mankind. If you feel the latter scenario is more resonant for you, you are a sacred medium for the Ascended Master who couldn’t risk being reborn lest she or he loses themselves in this mortal world.
l o g i c – XI Justice
As you can see (if you could view the card on Patreon), Justice on this deck is quite different from its traditional depiction. There is an oracle who mediates the wisdom and impartiality of the Brazen Head as guide for Mankind.
And like the picture you’ve chosen, you have a mind that’s quite well-rounded. You have an innate ability to perceive the wholeness of an issue and provide insights or solutions that would be fair to most everyone involved. You are a peacemaker; a problem solver. And I think, this of you may not have been seen by a lot of people. Worry not, you’ve only been in an initiation phase. Your Light of Wisdom is about ready to be seen by everyone.
With this awakened sense of purpose, I’m pretty sure you will naturally, or maybe ever so suddenly, cease feeling bound by the constraints of time. Suddenly, you’re a new person without fear of limitations. You now understand that everything has its own time to be seen, received, and applauded. Even by logic you know it’s all gonna be yours eventually. I think you’ve fixed your relationship with the God of Time HA The clock doesn’t scare you anymore.
Justice will be served, my dear. If you’ve resonated this much, know that you’re about to get really busy in the coming months and years. Ascended Masters being born on Earth is no small matter. You will be seen. You will be heard. You will serve your purpose. You have no idea how many higher beings are working behind the scenes to make this happen. This is a group project; you just think you’re doing everything alone but that’s the farthest thing from the Truth.
m a g i c – King of Wands
Now, with all of your cards upright, I’d like to convince you that you’ve done the best you could with what you knew. To be honest, there is no more work to be done. You’ve worked so hard on yourself, your spirituality and psychology. You deserve to enjoy Life now. You could say, Life finally begins now—no matter what your age is. You are your own big girl/boy now. You can do whatever you want with a calm heart. You’ve literally set everything in motion in ways that may not be apparent (yet) in the physical world.
Have courage for your Destiny is meeting you halfway. In the meantime, eat your cake, paint your clouds, colour your hair, burn your candles, and continue to believe in your wildest dreams. You, have, a fuckton, of motherfuckers, to prove wrong, baby. Put them to shame. Your weirdest manifestations are yours to claim. You are meant to leave a legacy of awesome and nothing in this mortal world can stop a Bodhisattva such as yourself.
To help ease your heartaches, you might wanna Google what a Bodhisattva is if you’re unfamiliar with that term. Light will be shed upon why you’ve had to endure so much hardships—even if, say, only psychologically—just to feel like you have a place in this murderously chaotic world of nonsensical stupidity.
Much like the roundness of the jelly (pic) you’ve chosen, you’ve rounded up your tenure on Earth. This is very likely your last incarnation on 3D Earth. I don’t think many of you would still want to come back around again LMAO But if you ever change your mind, know with confidence the next time you’re incarnated on Earth again it will be 5D Earth (or 4D, at least, if you feel like it).

Pile 2 – Charting New Territories
Tumblr media
c o s m i c – XVI The Tower
You’ve been through a number of experiences that would’ve given other people a major mental breakdown. But you, you were always able to maintain a positive attitude. Somehow, more than most other people, you’re blessed with an ability to maintain a strong faith in the higher powers. You’re not shaken by the unknown. You embrace cycles of transformation, like a snake shedding its old skin. Parasites are left with the old skin. You’re so amazing.
With this Full Blue Moon in Pisces, you’re building a new Tower of your own. A shiner Tower, strong enough to stand for another 10,000 years or so. This is the Life you’ve always wanted for yourself. This basically could translate into your starting up your new business, moving to another country to start a new Life, or even just starting the preparations for this new paradigm of your ideals. Basically, the chess pieces are moving now.
You’re just about to have a great time seeing every single one of your dreams and visions manifest step by step as you continue to live in your authenticity. Your decisions may not always be easily understood by everyone but you don’t care anymore. You’re done caring—carrying other people’s negativity and small worldviews. You’re done with the past. You can feel all your bones rattling—your clarion call is calling, babe~ Tlulululu~📞HELLO!🎆
l o g i c – Queen of Cups Rx
Up until recently, you’ve been deep in an alchemical process of knowing the inner workings of your emotions. You’ve recently come to fully understand how the way you care too much about the people around you has become a disadvantage. You are really kind, you know, very caring, and I hope you don’t see this as a weakness. You weren’t weak at all; you’d just been giving to the wrong bunch of people. These takers are major losers who don’t have it in them to know how to be kind, caring, or generous to other people. It’s alright, this was just your learning process to know how the Devil ticks.
With this, I’m seeing you’ve made a strong resolve to first and foremost prioritise your mental health. Your emotional wellbeing comes first because you’re literally the main character of your own Life. If that should make you step on a few toes, you’re not gonna fret. Their fault for being in your way.
You’re becoming more logical in the way you view how the world works. Things and situations are not always fair, and sometimes, the right thing to do may not always seem the best. But you’re done being a sacrifice to unideal situations at all times. Nomo. You’re choosing not to let your emotions override your sense of deservingness and respect.
m a g i c – 9 of Cups
You’ve raised your vibrations, and now you’re becoming a match to a lot of high-vibe treasures. A lot of them. You’re going to see first hand how your Reality shifts, continuously, to find the right bearing before some things can be decided and become permanent. Your realities are going to keep shifting like that at least until the next Full Moon. In the coming month, you’re going to feel very blessed and glad that you’ve decided to take control of your Life. You’re going to be so proud of yourself, if you aren’t already.
When you’re, let’s say, out and about, you might encounter people or situations that feel rather magical. Like, there’s so much good luck surrounding you and you may be like, ‘OMG, how did that just happen?’ There’s so much Love and positivity surrounding you that you also feel charitable—with your energy, attention, resources. There seems to be this equal give and take between you and the world outside.
I think it’s possible you’re gonna be meeting Soul Mates as well. Or, you could be entering this phase of your Life where you’re meeting what in Buddhism is termed brothers and sisters in dharma. People with whom you share a similar vision to be of service to the world, in a similar fashion. I think you’re going to feel so excited and motivated about the purpose of your Life and how you’re gonna go about it going forward. Tlulululu~📞HELLO!🎆

Pile 3 – Future Builder
Tumblr media
c o s m i c – King of Pentacles
On a cosmic scale, you’re being led to become a leader of the New Age of Aquarius. For some, this means you will have a public platform to speak for your causes. It’s not so difficult to wave influence over a group of people nowadays when you have social media, right? For some, this could mean that you will have a new role that will have you seen as an authoritative figure in your field, or immediate home/work/school environment.
For some others, you could get promoted to a new position at your workplace, or get a new work opportunity that is more in alignment with your spiritual values as a human being. Some kind of change that will make you feel greatly proud of yourself, in a grateful manner😊Money and other forms of abundance are coming in steadily, although for some may not be too quickly.
Some of the changes that are happening to you, you may not think that these are spiritual in nature, but they are, and you will gradually understand the meaning of these shifts in your Reality as you go along. The tiny truth of the matter is, you are finally receiving a lot of material abundance because you’ve literally embraced the idea that you deserve to take up space🎉
l o g i c – XII The Hanged Man Rx
I feel very strongly you’ve been having these inner works revolving knowing how to strike a balance between being selfless and selfish. You may have come from a background in which people are expected to always be humble and stupidly selflessly giving, no matter the cost. I know an Asian background or a Christian one could mess up with a lot of people’s psychology. Especially East Asian, I guess? You’re expected to just mingle in the background and flexing your accomplishments is literally considered a severe social misconduct *bleh* something like that
You’ve had to learn the hardest way not to give in to that notion of putting yourself last. The group is always more important than the individual? Fuck that. I come first. Every individual deserves to come first especially when the group setting is not even that altruistic. Especially when the group’s importance is literally serving the blatant selfishness of some of the top/key figures in the group. Nomo. Fuck this and fuck that. I blast open my own pathway. Even if nobody will like me for that, I come first. I take care of me first. How can I be a genuinely kind person when I can’t even be kind to myself?
That’s sort of the learning process you’ve had to go through until you reached this plateau of clarity on how an individual can maintain personal autonomy even when you’re still a part of the group. In spite of your age and how much you’ve experienced in Life, I don’t think you’re anywhere near finishing learning hahah Wise people never stop learning anyway. But for now, I think you’ve graduated some level of a meaningful spiritual masterclass with flying colours~!🌈
m a g i c – XIII Death Rx
You have been reborn, baby~ Out of the old cycle into a new phase of AWESOME. Something about the way you look, I’m sure has changed, too. You’re a much happier person now, you’re more confident. I think your facial expression is different. Your posture is better. Your steps are surer. Your skin cleared up. You’ve got an entirely new wardrobe. Your social media is going through a renaissance. You have a new circle of friends or a new boyfriend even. Everything, is just, different, in ways you can’t really explain.
Your aenergy has affected your physical Reality to morph itself in accordance with your ideals. You’re literally living in your desired reality and it can only get better form here. Need I say more? Just ENJOY~ You’ve worked hard to maintain your authenticity in a world that delights in seeing people kill themselves emotionally and spiritually just to fit in the group.
Your originality is what will ensure your future successes like nobody in your family has ever seen. Trust that, babe—this is New Age of Aquarius. Aquarius is all about being original and eccentric. It’s not like you’re hurting anybody, right? Your level of happiness is going to make everybody regret that they didn’t believe enough in you. They’d wish they coulda treated you better. But do you give a damn? Maybe you shouldn’t. Leave them at the bottom of the grave they dug for you. You go shine your Light for those who resonate with you, you beautiful Angel Goddess Fairy Mermaid Nymph Siren~🌞

Octopath II gameplay tips!
I'd been thinking about this for a while, but since I have mutuals who are playing 8path2, here's a list of advice and things the game doesn't explain!
Incorrect/vague skill descriptions:
The Warrior skill "Enervating Slash": The description is flat-out wrong. This will remove all positive status effects from the USER, rather than the targeted enemy!
"Increased intensity spells" courtesy of the Scholar job: So wtf does this even mean? It gives you a counter that causes the next x number of AREA TARGET SPELLS to be "intensified". For instance, the Cleric's "Heal Wounds" skill can be intensified, but NOT the Apothecary's "Healing Touch" skill. For elemental-based spells, such as Fireball, this causes it to trigger twice (or three times if using Alephan's Wisdom).
Throné's EX skill "Disguise": When used on an ally, Throné takes on their job(s) and learned skills. Sadly, because she doesn't also take on their equipment stats (to my knowledge; I haven't actually verified this), it means she's usually not optimized for their fighting style.
Partitio's EX skill "Share SP": This also has a flat-out wrong description. He gives a percentage of his SP to EACH party member, not just one. For instance, without boosting, he will lose 25% of his max SP and every other party member will gain whatever that amount is. And yes, they'll get it even if it puts them above their normal max SP! Partito rocks!
The Apothecary job’s “Preventative Measures” support skill: Rather than nullifying status ailments for the first 3 turns of battle (as the description says), it nullifies the first three status effects to target the user. So if the user isn’t hit with a status effect until turn 4, it will still be nullified, but if they’re hit with 4 status effects within the first three turns, the 4th will still take effect.
Battle interface:
"Status ailments" include Poison (take damage each turn), Sleep (unable to act until hit), Unconsciousness (unable to act, period), Blindness (greatly reduced accuracy), Terror (unable to boost), Silence (unable to use skills) and Confusion (target a random ally until hit).
"Positive status effects" and "negative status effects" include buffs/penalties to stats, as well effects like temporary HP regen, Sidestep/Vengeful Blade charges, etc. Note that the Cleric skill "Sacred Shield" does NOT appear next to the character's name, and therefore does not count as a "positive status effect"
The order of enemy weaknesses is something you'll see mentioned in any guide/trivia about the game, and it's incredibly helpful. Weaknesses are always listed in the same order: Sword, Polearm, Dagger, Axe, Bow, Staff, Fire, Ice, Thunder, Wind, Light, and Dark (SPD ABS FIT WLD). So for instance, if I determine that an enemy is weak to daggers and the dagger icon is in the first square, I know that enemy CANNOT be weak to swords or polearms, because those would be listed first.
Traveler talents:
Don't forget that Osvald's Study Foe talent reveals more weaknesses each time he encounters the same enemy!
Remember to have Partitio in your party in order to take advantage of his Business Partners talent! For instance, if Parti's follower gives a discount when buying things, this applies not only to NPCs he Purchases from but also shops if he happens to be in the party. Similarly, you may want to pick up a follower that earns more from sales before you sell off a bunch of junk. And if his follower gives a refund at the inn, you can refill your whole party's meters for free as long as you keep Partitio in your party.
Dancer skills that will activate Agnea's Dance Session talent include: Lion Dance (Dance Session targets the ally), Peacock Strut (Dance Session targets the ally), Dagger Dance (Dance Session targets Agnea), and Bewildering Grace (Dance Session targets a random party member). Ruinous Kick, Stimulate, and Sweeping Gale will NOT trigger a Dance Session.
If you want to go into a dungeon you're just under-leveled for, try taking both Throné and Temenos and clearing it at night. Blessing of Darkness and Moonlight Judgement together can give a huge advantage, especially once you're higher-level.
Miscellaneous:
Caits and Octopuffs have absurdly high evasion and elemental defense, but give you massive rewards if defeated. They will often flee the battlefield if ANY enemy has taken damage by the time their turn comes around. Usually the best way to defeat them is to hammer them will all your strongest magic, as spells can't miss and have a minimum damage of 1. Use of Stimulate, Leghold Trap, and the A Step Ahead support skill can come in handy to push their turns back. As @limayde mentioned, Medium and Large Soulstones can also defeat most of them instantly!
Healing (via skills) is based on the caster’s elemental defense. Therefore, it’s a good idea to give your healers equipment with high Elem. Def!

Since so many of you voted for this, let's take a quick look at it.
Tumblr media
KIM KITSURAGI "See you in the morning. Bye."
Tumblr media
BED - The bed is cold and not particularly inviting, but it's yours. The sheets look awful...
TUTORIAL AGENT - The option to go to sleep becomes available every night after 21:00.
Crawl in.
No time to rest yet. [Leave.]
As you can see, we can go to bed at any time after 9 pm. Normally, however, there's no reason to do this - we can continue to explore until 2 am. While many of the NPCs go to bed at 9, a few will be available for the whole day.
One thing that *does* happen here is entering our room causes Kim to leave, going to his own room, but we're still free to leave and walk around. This is useful if there's ever anything we want to do without Kim - say, getting those boots off the corpse.
Tumblr media
Now, let's rewind. We'll want Kim with us for this.
Garte gave us the key for the trash container, so now we can see what that *premonition* we had was all about.
Tumblr media
TRASH CONTAINER - This trash container is locked. The sliding lid has a padlock that says "Whirling-in-Rags."
Open the padlock with the key.
[Physical Instrument - Legendary 14] Force time -- jam the tool under the lid and pull!
[Leave.]
One thing worth pointing out here is that we could attempt the check without actually equipping the tool. That gives us a -10 penalty, though.
TRASH CONTAINER - With a well-oiled crack the lock pops open. It should now be possible to simply raise the lid...
INLAND EMPIRE [Easy: Success] - Don't! Maybe you shouldn't...
INTERFACING [Easy: Success] - 'Maybe you shouldn't...' Of course you should! This is your time to shine, Hobocop! Dive into that dumpster for extra content!
Didn't I just have a premonition that there's *something in there*?
Open the lid.
"Another time maybe." [Leave.]
INLAND EMPIRE - There is. But you won't *like* it. Sweat forms on your brow, your hand is still on the lid...
2. Open the lid.
Tumblr media
TRASH CONTAINER - The smell of rotten food rises to greet you. You see soggy cartons, dirty rags, and organic waste.
Task complete: Open trash container
+10 XP
KIM KITSURAGI - "We're just in time." The lieutenant peers in. "This hasn't been emptied for over a week."
This whole sequence is underscored by trash rummaging sounds.
Look under the boxes of carton.
Pick at the rags.
Search the food waste.
Dig in Hobocop-style -- for extra content.
Close the lid.
TRASH CONTAINER - You see: milk, an egg-rest with one broken egg in it, some pasta wrapper... Picking up the soggy packages somehow feels familiar.
A box falls into pieces in your hands: Batiste *Soleil* cereal. There are plastic pasta packages below, and *Turbo* noodles. Nothing of note, however.
2. Pick at the rags.
TRASH CONTAINER - Among the threadbare kitchen towels, something catches your eye -- a pair of denim trousers?
Grab them.
TRASH CONTAINER - As the legs of the slime-covered jeans begin to unspool from the garbage, a rank corpse smell fills the air.
KIM KITSURAGI - "The victim's clothes?" The lieutenant smells them. "Cadaverine odour is faint. If these belonged to the deceased, they were removed when he was still in the early stages of decay."
"Drop them in here, officer." The lieutenant produces a black plastic bag marked *evidence* from his pocket.
Bag the trousers.
KIM KITSURAGI - "*Guitar* mark blue jeans. Pockets empty." The lieutenant quickly searches the jeans. "Or *emptied*? He wore them with a belt, too, a wide belt -- the loops appear stretched, but..." He looks into the container.
"The belt is missing. That's it. Do you see anything else in there? I have another bag here…"
TRASH CONTAINER - Something slimy catches your eye...
Reach for it.
"Nope."
TRASH CONTAINER - A drab long-sleeved shirt, olive-coloured, appears from the food waste, dripping with pus.
Bag the shirt.
KIM KITSURAGI - "This is a military type over-garment. No label or serial number -- this is the kind of rib-knit shirt that's worn over light armour to conceal it in an urban scenario..." He nods to himself. "Anything more?"
+5 XP
PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Trivial: Success] - The rest of the rags are just kitchen-variety waste. Just garbage.
"That's all, I think."
KIM KITSURAGI - "Alright. We should go to Garte again and ask if he knows who put the clothes in the trash. It could be as simple as someone from the hostel cleaning the yard, or *that* one..." He nods toward the red-haired boy behind him. "I'd advise *against* confronting that force."
New task: Who put the clothes in the trash?
"Yeah, we need to ask the kids who put them here."
"You think someone from the Whirling might have been... involved maybe?"
"Okay." (Proceed.)
CUNOESSE - "The fuck's he on about -- *kids*?!" The one behind the fence yells. "You hear that, Cuno? He thinks you're an infant or something."
KIM KITSURAGI - "See?"
2. "You think someone from the Whirling might have been… involved maybe?"
KIM KITSURAGI - "Not really. All we know is -- the victim's clothes are in the trash, the lid was locked, and this establishment had the key. It's just a *small* loose thread."
3. "Okay." (Proceed.)
KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant nods, then looks back into the trash container.
3. Search the food waste.
TRASH CONTAINER - It's just organic waste, cold and slimy on your hands. Apple and potato peels mostly, unidentified sludge, and the occasional chicken bone thrown in for good measure. But hey...
INLAND EMPIRE [Medium: Success] - Nothing. It's nothing. Nothing more to see here.
TRASH CONTAINER - ...what's *this*?
What?
Elbows out, there's nothing more here.
TRASH CONTAINER - A blue piece of plastic sticks out from the apple peels. It's *shiny*. Looks like the corner of something...
Pick it out.
TRASH CONTAINER - Something larger -- a clipboard! A blue plastic clipboard with moist papers hanging from it. They look badly damaged, but you can still make out forms and notes. Written in a *man's* handwriting...
Item gained: Damaged Ledger
KIM KITSURAGI - "Officer, is that your... paperwork?"
"No, it can't be."
"I don't know *what* this is."
KIM KITSURAGI - "Yes it is, look." He points to it. "This plastic has the RCM street grid on it. You've even got an autopsy form..." A miserable looking slip of paper sticks to the board.
Secret task complete: Find your paperwork
+10 XP
"If you don't mind my asking, how could you have let your paperwork end up in the trash?"

💋 (from katagawa)
from this meme.
Rhys was naive to think that rising to the top of the corporate ladder would free him from ever having to attend a New Year's party again. Apparently there's an interplanetary shindig for the Borderlands' biggest corporations and their upper echelons of executive staff-- something about encouraging cooperation and competition, Rhys doesn't really know; he'd zoned out in the middle of Susan Coldwell's introductory speech and had promptly decided he didn't care enough to really think about it.
The same sense of listlessness that used to accompany him at Hyperion's holiday parties fills him as he mingles with people. His reputation precedes him, it seems; in his first year since relocating to Promethea, Atlas' stocks had risen to incredible heights, and he'd begun environmental research that's restored 15% of the planet's habitable spaces so far. People see him and they recognise him-- the bright blue ECHO-Eye and the tattoo on his neck are hard to miss-- and every time, Rhys ends up trapped in conversations that're nothing but indirect dick measuring contests and some supposedly "healthy threatening".
The attention suffocates him, and it gets worse the nearer it gets to midnight. Everyone starts moving about, pairing off in order to have partners for the fabled "New Year's Kiss", and Rhys turns down ten people in two minutes and decides he probably has to escape for the better.
So he slips away as a crowd gathers near the stage in the function area, ready to count down the few minutes to midnight with the giant Tediore-brand clock on the wall. And while Rhys had intended to be alone when he walked outside of the building and into the cold air, he sees someone had already beaten him there.
His eye glows as he attempts to place them, and just as the name of the figure lights up his ECHO-Eye's interface, the man turns around with a raised brow.
"Atlas," he says plainly.
"Maliwan," Rhys greets in turn. And then, because calling a person by their company name is ridiculous, he says, "Katagawa, right? I'm Rhys. Strongfork, I guess, if you want a last name."
"Rhys is passable."
"Cool." He smiles some, stiff and definitely awkward. "Do you have a first--"
"You don't need to know my first name."
"Yeah." Rhys coughs. "No, definitely."
Standing in the cold with his hands in his pockets, Rhys wants to sink into the snow. Katagawa is staring at him with a look that feels almost medical in its intensity, and Rhys isn't sure whether this is better or worse than talking to everyone inside.
So he tries to talk again: "What're you doing out here, anyway?"
"That's none of your business."
"Right. Well, I'm here 'cause I couldn't stand being in there." Rhys' thumb jabs over his shoulder in the direction of the party. "You know, talking to all those people... I didn't even know there were parties like this in the first place until Coldwell invited me."
Katagawa scoffs. "Of course there are parties like this. How else are we going to distinguish ourselves from the ordinary people?"
"Ah." Rhys isn't sure what he expected from the son of two Maliwan executives, but this feels about right. "Yeah. Definitely."
"I'm sure you wouldn't know, being ordinary yourself until recently" -- Rhys' brows furrow slightly at the sight of Katagawa coming closer, close enough to put a hand on his shoulder -- "but being this high up the food chain? It's the best place to be."
"Uhuh." A beat. "You're lucky your parents were such a big deal, then."
"I am more than--" Katagawa shuts his mouth, grits his teeth, and looks away. "My status comes from more than them."
"But it's 'cause your mum's head of Mergers and Acquisitions that you're here, right?"
"Shut up!" Katagawa declares, shoving two hands into his chest. Rhys steps back a measure because of it, but keeps his feet flat on the ground in the end.
He shrugs as he adds, "It's not that bad, you know. You can always move up. I was middle management at Hyperion until I just... took Atlas."
"Are you an idiot? That isn't how it works. I'm..." Rhys takes note of the way Katagawa's fists clench, and in the back of his mind he's glad everyone was stripped of their weapons before coming here. "I'm not next in line for mother's title."
"Well, what number are you at?"
Katagawa's quiet. Annoyed. And then he spits out, "Twelfth."
Rhys can't help the wince. Katagawa glares at him, though, so Rhys lifts both his hands up in surrender.
"That's not so bad," he says.
"How?" Katagawa rolls his eyes. "How in the world is being the twelfth in line not so bad?"
"You just... have to be better than the first people in line. Right? RIse above the competition. Beat them at their own game."
"You make it sound easy."
"It isn't," Rhys admits, "but it's not impossible, either. I think you can do it."
"You're just saying that."
"No, no, no-- I mean it!" He doesn't really, but the way Katagawa's expression has softened some tells him he's on the right track. "I genuinely think you can do it. You just gotta be patient and try. Stop relying on your parents' names, do something amazing for yourself, and... freakin' impress them, you know?"
Katagawa's staring at him again, but this time Rhys doesn't feel nearly as awful about it. Gone is the laser that would've sliced him from head to toe, replaced now by this look of enlightenment that makes Rhys feel pretty good about himself.
"I should be CEO," Katagawa says.
"You should be CEO," Rhys agrees. "I think you'd be great."
Katagawa's head lifts with new confidence. Truthfully, Rhys feels pretty good about being such an inspiring force in him. "Yeah?"
"Yeah," Rhys agrees. "When you rise up, you'll have to let me know. I'd love to work together with you."
Inside, a chorus of voices count down to the new year. Ten, nine, eight...
Katagawa's hand reaches out between them, a smirk on his face. "You promise?"
And Rhys, relieved that they hadn't devolved into a fight, takes the man's hand in his cybernetic one for a shake. "Definitely."
Five, four, three...
Maybe it's the feel good atmosphere. Maybe it's because the conversation turned out better than he expected. Maybe it's just Rhys falling to peer pressure, as New Year's countdowns tend to inspire, if only because he found a person he wouldn't mind giving a kiss to.
He tugs Katagawa forward and presses a chaste kiss to his mouth just as the countdown hits "zero". Fireworks go off, the coloured lights shine around them, and a few moments later, Rhys pulls away and says, "That was for good luck."
Then he lets Katagawa's hand go.
There's something about the look that Katagawa gives him after that-- something Rhys doesn't think about until later, when the party ends for good and he's hooking up to the fast travel network to return to Promethea. Before he leaves, he sees Katagawa staring at him even in the company of his parents (and all his siblings, holy shit, that's an insane number of kids). So he smiles and offers a wave, and Katagawa smiles back in a way that makes him think, hey, I've made my first cross-corporation friend.
"I'll see you around!" Rhys calls, unsure if Katagawa even hears him. Considering the other man mouths something in turn-- something Rhys himself doesn't hear-- he doubts that he does.
It's only when he's rematerialised at Atlas HQ that he takes a moment to process that most recent memory, replaying the footage saved in his cranial drive. Because, as he goes through the recording his ECHO-Eye made, he's pretty sure Katagawa had said I'm going to make you mine.

What's Been Goin' On?
I, unfortunately, do have a habit of updating the Mastodon account more than here but I've also been tied up with various responsibilities.
Most recently, I've done some work to cleanup how data is stored and to, hopefully, make Swanye better able to interface with other ActivityPub implementations.
Half a year ago or so, I may've been light on details regarding this or just shown a .gif or video of another small feature so it didn't feel, to followers, like no development was being made.
But, then, Musk started tanking Twitter and, suddenly, a good chunk of the population knew what Mastodon is. And then Reddit decided to charge for use of their API and a bunch of people suddenly knew what Lemmy and Kbin were.
I'm sure that there're still plenty out there who don't but the distaste and disgruntlement people have with corporate social media grew well more than I expected and people are aware of alternatives.
So, though I've mentioned it before, just a reexplanation that, though I plan to make Swanye similar to Tumblr, it is also software that will be able to interface with other ActivityPub implementations.
That means you'll be able to view posts from Mastodon, reblog videos from PeerTube, like photos on PixelFed, and comment on Lemmy threads – all from your Swanye account, without having to leave your Swanye instance's website, due to its decentralized design.
And, because all of these softwares are open-source and free, you or anyone else will have the option to spin up your own server (that can talk to any other server running an instance of the same software) and set the moderation that you might hope for or expect.
I always worry that I'm communicating the possibility and idea well but – at this point in time – the thing that has me most excited is the amount of alternatives we're seeing. A corporation will always be driven towards more profit; they will always need to figure out a way to extract more.
In contrast, software that anyone can use or view will always belong to the commons, can always be picked up by someone else, can always be able to be used and bettered.
I think most people joined social media in the hopes to connect with others and make communities; when we have more control over our platforms, I'm hoping that will – simply – just remain trivial, rather than a battle.
And, because I still always worry that too many updates without any visual update on anything can feel just like vaporware, here's the most recent change I made.
I always thought the the icon of the poster/reblogger scrolling with the post was a neat way to remind you who did the post (especially on long posts); and I was scrolling through the Tumblr mobile app. and realized that there was no similar behavior which I thought kind of sucked.
So I modified Swanye's mobile to do just that:
[VD: A screencast of a web browser with a small enough window width to cause Swanye to go into mobile mode.
The page is scrolled downward and, as it goes down, the top part of a post which says who reblogged the post from whom moves downward, as well, once it hits the top of the page.
It continues to scroll down, remaining visible, until it hits the bottom of the post it belongs to and, then, scrolls off screen. end VD]

Academia Animalia - rambling about magic
Sometimes you get deep into design and you have to stop and be like... am I overthinking this? And if you ask yourself that, the answer is probably yes.
So. Academia Animalia, my game about completely non-anthropomorphic animals that are also wizards. I am happy with how the animal half works, and need to re-structure the wizarding a bit, and one thing I am confident of is that everyone needs a facet of their school of magic that is Always On. But like... I want them to be able to cast spells too. More importantly, I want them to cast spells BADLY. They are animals squatting in the ruins of a college, casting spells made for human mouths and hands! The whole vibe should be "this does powerful shit but also causes problems because you do not have the ability to control it properly."
But what I am avoiding, however, is lots of randomness in spellbooks. Like, you don't roll dice to cast, because magic works Differently from regular stuff. Instead, I had a half-dozen little subsystems which all worked differently; a noble effort to make everything Feel Different, and which wasn't that bad on paper since every player only needed to know their own, but which did not help me meet my goals of making all the schools feel roughly equivalent in power and importance. It was, in retrospect, a balancing nightmare. Was I overthinking this?
Here's the new plan... we make the mechanics a little more standardized, using tech that's already present in the game. Most of the moves that already exist are choosy moves, where you get that "On a 10+ choose 3, on a 7-9 choose 1" or whatever, with a list of possible effects. This is familiar, but it's also extremely balanceable... if a move is consistently too useful, you can reduce the number of choices to make, or let the GM make a choice, or add a choice that's like "Also you don't take damage doing this move," which is powerful because it implicitly puts "taking damage" on the table whenever someone attempts it. And vice versa, you can add more useful bonuses and choices if something isn't hitting where you want it to.
SO, the new plan for spellbooks is that they work like this, with the exception that A) there is no rolling, it's just a matter of "when you cast this spell, choose X," and B) wherever possible they should interface with whatever the passive effect of your spellbook is.
For example, let's consider Elements of the Elements - a child's guide to fun and safe evocation.
(Every spellbook is also a BOOK, you see, with a title and tagline).
Passively, you are attuned to an element--earth, air, fire, water, maybe something like lightning and shadow for flavor--so that it's always a little bit all over you. If you're currently attuned to fire, you're a little bit on fire; if you're attuned to air, there's constant gusts of wind around you, etc. That's just what being an evoker is (when you don't have the manual dexterity to fully close off your connection to the elemental planes).
Your passive effect is a Thing That Is True, for all the good and ill that comes with that; if you're on fire, you don't need a light in the darkness, but you can't hide in the shadows either.
You can also cast Elemental Blast... you know, good old-fashioned fireball-type magic. No rolling necessary, just a free paw and a target. Choose 2:
You decide what element you are blasting (otherwise it's a random roll)
You hit your target
You don't hit anything else
It's not obvious where the blast came from
There is a hint of randomness in the element you choose... if you want to for sure use fire, then that's fine, but there's gonna be consequences. Else, you might get something else entirely. Oh, and whatever element you end up calling forth, whether it's by choice or by chance, that's what you are attuned to now, so if you decide to hurl a lightning bolt, then your fur is going to be all staticky for a while.
I think this is a good baseline to start from, and I shall see if I can get more and different flavors of magic that function in this fashion.

You know, I'm thinking about 2001: A Space Odyssey again (and you can tell me if this reads like nonsense). At first, I thought HAL 9000 was noticeably different-feeling from the rest of the movie, but the more I think about it, I feel like HAL is supposed to be a parallel to the movie's theme of evolution and life. The movie starts off with the pre-human apes, sort of semi-human and semi-animal creatures that were pushed towards humanity with the monolith appearing and helping them use tools. Then, it cuts to thousands of years later and humanity has developed to the point where it's created its own machines that have become so advanced, the latest ones have begun to express the capacities of a natural mind themselves like emotion and free will.
Machines have sort of evolved in a way that is very similar to humanity, and we created HAL especially in our own image (its name is Heuristically Programmed Algorithmic Computer, but we call it HAL- it likely has no human concept of gender, but we gave it a masculine, human voice- and we gave it the ability to think intelligently and communicate those thoughts in language, which was previously only a thing that humans have achieved.) In a way, machine advancement is a sort of artificially-created evolution, and HAL was the genesis of those machines beginning to "wake up" for their own, just like the apes did when they began to use tools. (Especially considering the apes used their tools to rebel against an enemy tribe, which is very similar to HAL experiencing a conflict in orders which causes him to go rogue.)
This is especially solidified in my mind because of how similar HAL looks to the monolith, which is something I noticed when I first watched the film. Though I don't know if that part is just my imagination or not lol.
this is a very interesting take, i think. the concept of tools and how little human nature changes in regards to violence is pretty well-ingrained in the film, see the famous bone-to-spaceship cut, with the spaceship resembling a knife. the idea of HAL being the genesis of machines waking is interesting, because the specific cause of his break was human nature, and with the spaceship and shuttlepod it still uses human tools to achieve his goals. machine advances could definitely be seen as an artificial evolution, indeed. this kind of makes humanity the monolith for the tools, provoking a change and awakening. pretty interesting idea, there. and yeah, i think HAL's little interface design intentionally looks like the monolith, given how his eye resembles the lights of the scene when the sun reflects against it.
(may i ask by what you meant by different-feeling, though? i don't quite get it.)

From Unreal Engine to Blender: Navigating Software Challenges in Scene Composition
Embarking on any creative project involves a myriad of decisions, from conceptualization to execution. Recently, our team embarked on a journey to bring a fantastical scene to life, complete with animated dragons and mesmerizing northern lights. However, our path was not without its hurdles, particularly in the realm of software selection and compatibility.
Tumblr media
Test Render from UE 5
While the initial test render showed promise, we quickly encountered a significant roadblock: rendering speed. The process was slower than anticipated, impeding our workflow and causing frustration. Undeterred, we pressed on, only to face another challenge. Importing our animated dragon proved to be more challenging than expected, stalling our progress and prompting us to seek alternatives.
Additionally, creating the ethereal beauty of the northern lights within Unreal Engine 5 proved to be elusive. Despite our efforts and the utilization of plug-ins such as Ultra Dynamic Sky, we couldn't achieve the desired result. Furthermore, Unreal Engine 5's limitations prevented us from rendering our scene in the immersive 360 format we envisioned.
Faced with these obstacles, we made a pivotal decision to transition to Blender. Despite being initially apprehensive, we found that Blender offered a more flexible and versatile solution to our challenges. We began by blocking out our scene in Blender and conducting a test render for a 360-degree video.
Tumblr media
Test render from Blender
With our newfound confidence in Blender, we finalized our scene, embracing its intuitive interface and expansive capabilities. The journey from Unreal Engine to Blender was not without its twists and turns, but it ultimately led us to a more fulfilling and rewarding outcome.
In the world of creative endeavors, challenges are inevitable. However, it is how we navigate and overcome these challenges that define the trajectory of our projects. Our experience serves as a testament to the importance of adaptability and perseverance in the pursuit of artistic excellence.
As we gaze upon our completed scene, with its majestic dragons and dancing northern lights, we are reminded that sometimes the most fulfilling journeys are the ones filled with unexpected detours. And in those detours, we often discover the true extent of our creativity and resilience.
Kal:
With my hands-free of the modelling stage, I quickly jumped in to help with the environment since we started facing some unexpected issues with our original plan. While Athul tried to figure out and fix the issues in Unreal we made a backup plan to start working on a blender environment, just to be on the safe end.
Here are the initial HDRIs I made for blender to fit with the concept.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
However, I felt like it wasn’t fully suited to the initial vision we were going for. Once it was confirmed that we were fully sticking to Blender and abandoning Unreal, I started working on an environment.
Since the artistic direction was to go for a stylised approach, I started reworking on the environment and researched more about painterly effects and textures. I also remade the aurora borealis and made it an object instead of a part of the sky. Here is the result of this step:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once I received a blockout version of Athul’s environment from Unreal, I started working on applying similar stylised and painterly shaders to it. Here is the result of this step:

Elf Bar Disposable Vape Pen
The Elf Bar Disposable Vape is an excellent choice for someone looking to quit smoking. It is available in luscious fruit flavours and provides a great vaping experience. It is easy to use and comes with an attractive matte-shell design. Its packaging also includes all the important details, including the flavor, e-liquid capacity, nicotine strength, and puff count.
Easy to use
The Elf Bar is one of the best disposable vapes that can be used without a lot of fuss. It is rechargeable and comes with more e-liquid than a traditional disposable. The device has an easy-to-use interface, and it is a great option for beginners who are looking for a simple way to try out vaping.
To charge your Elf Bar, locate the charging port and insert a USB cable into it. Connect the other end of the cable to a power source, such as your laptop or wall charger. The device will begin charging automatically and will show you that it is charging through a flashing indicator light.
If your Elf Bar is not working, it may be overheated. If this happens, wait for it to cool down before trying to use it again. Trying to use it while it is overheated can damage the internal components. Also, it is possible that the coil has burned out.
Rechargeable
Unlike early disposables, which often lost their flavor intensity well before reaching the estimated puff count, Elf Bar devices held on to the flavor right up to the last puff. This helped them quickly become a popular choice among vapers.
Elf Bar disposables have a USB-C charge port, making them compatible with most standard chargers. Most people already have one of these handy gadgets around, and if not, they can easily pick up an inexpensive USB-C cable from almost any place that sells electronics, including gas stations and drug stores.
While Elf Bars are not entirely risk-free, they are significantly less harmful than their combustible counterparts. They also contain much less of the dangerous constituents found in cigarettes. Hence, they can be a great tool for smokers trying to quit smoking. They can use them to slowly and steadily reduce their dependence on nicotine. This way, they can gradually stop smoking without causing any harm to their bodies.
Long battery life
The Elf Bar BC5000 can hold up to 5,000 puffs on a pre-charged battery. The device also has a separate e-liquid tank for maximum flavor. Its vapor production is better than you might expect from a disposable.
You can get the most out of your Elf Bar if you inhale gently and avoid over-puffing. Doing so helps prevent vapor from seeping into the mouthpiece.
If you notice a decrease in vapor or an unpleasant taste, it’s time to recharge the battery or change the e-liquid. An LED indicator light will blink to let you know that it’s time to do so.
The lifespan of an Elf Bar is affected by factors like temperature and humidity, frequency of use, and the type of e-liquid. Changing your vaping habits can help you extend the lifespan of your Elf Bar and save money on new devices. You should also check the charging port for dirt, lint, or debris that could be blocking the flow of power.
Zero maintenance
The elf bar bc5000 zero nicotine is one of the most popular disposable vapes on the market. It features a draw-activation firing mechanism, a rechargeable USB type-C connection, and an average battery life of 5000 puffs. It also comes in a range of delectable flavors.
These BC5000 disposables are designed to be a portable and easy-to-use alternative to traditional cigarettes. They have a surprisingly high capacity for such a small device, and they are fully TPD compliant. They come in a variety of colors and designs, and are made from recycled materials.
The newest Elf Bar flavor, Raspberry Watermelon Ultra, is an amazing blend of fruity flavors that will have your mouth watering. This unique blend has a rich and creamy raspberry on the inhale, followed by refreshing and sweet watermelon. This is a perfect summer vape! The icy menthol on the exhale balances out the fruity notes and makes this a truly incredible flavor.

#CAPTURE ONE PRO HOW TO#

#CAPTURE ONE PRO PRO#
Sessions versus Catalogsīoth Lightroom and Capture One Pro double as RAW photo editors and organization software for your image files. It allows you to upload cover art, such as a product packaging layout or a magazine cover, so you can make sure that your subject fits into the parameters required by the project. You and your stylists can make the incremental tweaks necessary in still life photography, all while viewing the components within the frame on a computer or laptop monitor. If you’re a food, product or still life photographer, this feature will drive your productivity through the roof. However, Capture One offers a Live View function within the program itself. If you’ve used the Live View function on your camera, you may have noticed that you can only use it in natural light, or when you’re using a constant light source like an LED or the modeling lamp on a monohead. So why is Capture One worth a new learning curve? Let’s take a look: Superior tetheringĪs you may have gleaned from the introduction, tethered shooting is incredibly stable in COP, whereas Lightroom is known to be super-glitchy.Īnother advantage is that COP has a built-in Live View function. It’s an all-in-one solution for many photographers. What has become intuitive for you to do in Lightroom, may not work in COP.ĬOP has the library features of Lightroom with the advantages of Photoshop to work in layers. There are many differences between the programs. This is often what frustrates Lightroom users in the beginning, causing them to give up before they get started. For those used to using Lightroom, Capture One Pro will be confusing to you. The first thing to know when getting started with this software is that the interface is nothing like Lightroom.
#CAPTURE ONE PRO FREE#
If you’re a Sony user, Capture One Express is a free imaging editor that comes with your camera that includes some of the essential editing and workflow features found in Capture One Pro. In fact, COP has entered into a relationship with Sony. The software supports Phase One’s own cameras of course, as well as over 400 DSLR’s, such as those made by Canon, Nikon, and Sony. It’s been around for about 20 years and is made by Phase One, a Danish manufacturer of open platform-based medium format cameras.
#CAPTURE ONE PRO HOW TO#
There are tons of resources online if you want to learn how to use the program, many of them found in Capture One Pro when you log onto the interface.Ĭapture One Pro is a RAW file editor and management system. Rather, I want to walk you through the features and benefits of using Capture One Pro. This article is not meant to be a tutorial. If you’re a hobbyist, you still might find learning this image processor worth your while. If you’re a pro-shooter, or semi-pro, I would say Capture One Pro is a must. As a still-life shooter, I find that COP is unbeatable. But when Lightroom kept crashing and freezing on a career-changing shoot with a big ad client, I decided to make the switch. I didn’t want to learn yet another program or complicate my workflow. In fact, the speed and stability of tethering in Lightroom is one thing that has improved by leaps and bounds in 2019.īut if you shoot a genre of photography that requires tethering, like food or still life, or if you’re a portrait photographer, you still may want to consider moving over to Capture One Pro (COP).įor years, I personally resisted making this change. Lightroom has excellent color management tools and other features, such as noise reduction and spot removal, that make it the only program that many photographers use. It’s a powerful database for your image files. Now don’t get me wrong, Adobe Lightroom is a great program. Welcome to the reality of tethering in Lightroom. All while your client is tapping their foot and breathing impatiently down your neck. Out of the blue, Lightroom crashes, and you have to unplug everything and restart your computer. The clock is ticking, and you can feel the time crunch. Everything is going well, but you still have many shots to do. This may be a familiar scenario? You’re on a shoot, and you’ve tethered your camera to Lightroom.

Need Extra Inspiration With Beauty? Learn this!

Natural beauty cosmetics are the best choice for you if you have sensitive skin. It is also about improving the beauty within. Virtual classrooms, video, augmented reality (AR), robots, and other technology tools can not only make class more lively, they can also create more inclusive learning environments that foster collaboration and inquisitiveness and enable teachers to collect data on student performance. However, with rising inflation, worsening staff shortages and energy costs hitting record levels, it’s more important than ever to expose and address the bad habits that allow inefficiency to flourish. learn free here don’t think it’s at all necessary for software like Excel or Photoshop. The PNY CS2140 is a very good daily performer, but it’s available for lowball prices-just $93 for a 1TB model as I write this. A few years ago, there was outright tension between model developers in NOAA ESRL (Earth System Research Lab in Boulder) and the NWS EMC folks.
Numerical weather prediction is technically very challenging and few in Congress has sufficient background to revamp the organization of U.S. Most decision makers are thinking about protecting their own turf and resources, and few high-level NOAA administrators have known enough to see the problem or were willing to take the heat for the necessary changes. Different folks are responsible for model development and operations. And there is little evidence that the new global model will improve verification scores very much, since the real problems are in data assimilation, physics, ensembles, and post processing. Along with these effective procedures, they can also apply physical training exercises that are specifically designed to restore the health of patients quickly and even improve their overall strength levels. The Developmental Testbed Center (which can provide extramural support for U.S models and help evaluate the new ones, is already in Boulder). A visual metaphor of U.S. Only major restructuring and reimagining of U.S.
The training also involves major athletic training, nursing, physical therapy, physiology, sport psychology and so on. These machines can cause a person’s hearing to be affected greatly over time. As a result forecasters don't have time to take on important tasks that could greatly enhance the quality of the forecasts and how society uses them. And these groups have essentially taken the human out of the loop for nearly all forecasts. • It moves these billions in new expenses into programs that govern every aspect of human life including, but not limited to, farming; fertilizers; animal husbandry and animal diets; feedstock; soil; land use (forested, cleared, wetlands, etc); "manure management"; and creates gigantic new government bureaucracies (unionized, of course) to regulate, monitor and control American citizens. check it here and economic success have been achieved in almost all heavy oil applications, and a majority of operators plan to expand their use of the technology Overall success rates are higher in heavy oil programs than those in light oil or gas. And let's be very clear, I don't mean that NWS forecasts are getting less skillful.
The only exception to this dismal situation is the excellent work done by the NOAA ESRL rapid refresh team for frequently updated, short-term forecasts (RAP, HRRR). Improvements in environmental prediction will only come from sustained, coordinated hard work in physics, data assimilation, and other key areas. In the future, this trend will become what’s called an ambient experience, but currently multiexperience focuses on immersive experiences that use augmented reality (AR), virtual (VR), mixed reality, multichannel human-machine interfaces and sensing technologies. Specifically, they use an interactive forecast preparation system (IFPS) to construct a 7-day graphical representation of the weather that will be distributed on grids of 5-km grid spacing or better. And with so many changes in the bureaucratic structures, Congress will have to be involved. But in the end, it is clear that the current structures, the result of legacy and administrative drift over decades, are failing. Technology and structure are both multidimensional concepts that cannot be expected to be related in a simple manner.

Strange way of working though I’m affinity designer bleed lines free this behaviour too. On further review, it seems that it does work on an artboard if you drag the background desitner the bleed outside of the artboard group. I’ve so far opened 2 Illustrator business card documents in Affinity to amend for clients and I’m already ready to switch back! If Affinity designer bleed lines free want to see bleed do I have to create every page as a seperate document and not as an artboard? Is that the only affinity designer bleed lines free Big MEH!! What is the difference between a document and an artboard? This is soo confusing and makes the most simple thing affinnity Am I missing something or can you not view bleeds on artboards? I was all set to try and replace Adobe with Affinity and I’m frustrated as hell already.
Affinity designer tool trial#
Completely baffled by this! Just downloaded the latest version as a trial 1. If you have a one-hour journey with a tea break, you better produce wool. I wonder how programmers work in England. It’s like it doesn’t know the bleeds are there if they are created afterwards. Note: If you take the large swash graphics outside of the Artboards they display in affinity designer bleed lines free bleed area so the artboard appears to be affinity designer bleed lines free the view to its boundaries. If you create a document and apply bleed settings first and then copy and paste the graphics into that document the graphics show in the bleed, New from Clipboard will not work because no bleeds are set during document creation, so you set them affinity designer bleed lines free paste and the problem rears its problematic head. Please consider this a suggestion for improvement. AI’s highlights designrr subtle, but still much clearer. I ffree fairly good vision, but the difference still isn’t very apparent. Thanks, I’m using macOS! Yes, the problem is with the contrast. There’s also an option there to change to a light interface but again the contrast issue may still be a problem. Regarding the highlight affinity designer bleed lines free tools you can try going to Affinity Preferences, User Interface section and change the UI Gamma but I’m afraid it will not help much here, sorry. One other off topic issue I have with your products Hi sportyguy, Thanks for the file. It may simply be that I don’t know Affinity Designer very well that was causing me problems. I figured out that if I copied and pasted one page детальнее на этой странице a time, I could view the content of the bleeds. So, I downloaded the beta where I could view the bleed borders, but not the content. Tried to figure affinity designer bleed lines free the bleeds, then came to your forum comments where you mentioned that the beta added the ability to view bleeds.
Affinity designer tool pdf#
Then, I imported the pdf into Affinity Designer. Hi sportyguy, Do you mind attaching the “old” document where this was happening? Are you using Designer or Publisher and on what OS? I can provide an upload link if you don’t wish to post the file publicly. What could be happening with the old document? I just created a new document and got it to work. I just dowloaded the beta version and see a blank rectangular outline around the page for the bleed space when I choose “view bleed. August 3, Any news on this? I can’t cope not being able to see the bleed. If we have an image on the edge of the document, most printers require that. Fixx it’s not good enough simply to know it’s there and that it works. March 6, I too find the invisible bleed area very difficult.
