hey, i don't want to put you out or anything, i was just wondering if like off the top of your head if you knew any disability studies articles/books/whatever that center (or even just feature) tic/involuntary movement disorders?
so the answer to this was pretty much no but i spent a bit of time poking around and turned up this 2023 undergraduate honors thesis (link) by a student with tourette’s which seems like a solid starting point for going down the citation rabbit hole!
that piece is “The Embodied Performance of Tics and Tourette Syndrome in the Academic Environment” by Benjamin Allen; i’m only ~1/4th through rn but they argue for a continuum of ticcing + criticize the diagnostic system so i’m comfortable reccing it on that front! the (non-medical) tic-related works cited there are:
Buckser, Andrew. “Before Your Very Eyes: Illness, Agency, and the Management of Tourette Syndrome.” Medical Anthropology Quarterly, vol. 22, no. 2, 2008, pp. 167-192.
Buckser, Andrew. “The Empty Gesture: Tourette Syndrome and the Semantic Dimension of Illness.” Ethnology, vol. 45, no. 4, 2006, pp. 255- 24. https://www.jstor.org/stable/20456601.
Curtis-Wendlandt, Lisa. “Time and the Tic Disorder Triad.” Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology, vol 27, no. 2, 2020, pp. 183-199.
Curtis-Wendlandt, Lisa, and Jack Reynolds. “Why Tourette syndrome research needs philosophical phenomenology.” Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, vol. 20, no. 4, 2021, pp. 573-600.
Miller, James. “The Voice in Tourette Syndrome.” New Literary History, vol. 32 no. 3, 2001, pp. 519-536. Project MUSE, doi:10.1353/nlh.2001.0039.
Trubody, Ben. “Ticced off: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of The Experience of Tourette’s Syndrome.” Journal of the Society for Existential Analysis, vol. 25, no. 2, 2014.
i also searched a handful of disability studies journals for a variety of keywords (movement disorder, tic, tourette’s, involuntary movement, chorea, huntington’s) but didn’t turn up much unfortunately, so all but the first of this next list include someone with tics and/or involuntary movements rather than being about moving involuntarily.
haven’t read these so i can’t speak to the politics / quality (although i’ll make a post if i’m able to read more) but here’s what seemed potentially relevant! also if anything is paywalled please don’t give T&F your money lol, try SciHub or if you can’t find something i can ask around for somebody with institutional access!
Cultural Differences in Reactions to Tics and Tic Severity (2021)
Using virtual reality to implement disability studies’ advocacy principles: uncovering the perspectives of people with disability (2023)
I had every right to be there: discriminatory acts towards young people with disabilities on public transport (2020)
From comedy targets to comedy-makers: disability and comedy in live performance (2015)
From the Case Files: Reconstructing a history of involuntary sterilisation (2010)
i also want to mention “Movements of the Uncontrollable Body Part Two” by Bronwyn Valentine (2019), a creative writing piece about her experiences of embodiment + ableism with spina bifida that i first read pretty soon after it was published & went looking for after developing my movement disorder a year ago because it was so impactful. @fndportal also has some incredibly vital work.
also if you haven’t already read Rosemarie Garland-Thomson’s Staring: Why We Look, it’s not specifically about involuntary movements but definitely a core text for theorizing any visibilized disability.
i hope some of that is helpful!! if anybody checks any of these out i’d love to hear your thoughts/critiques! all the best to you & i hope these offer some resonance with + understanding of your experiences 💓💓

Hi, I’m loving the advent so far! How do you get your patterns to look so natural? Whenever I make patterns I either get these crusty lines at the edges of some channels where one channel bleeds into the other. Or, I get these super sharp unnatural edges on them that never look any good. Teach me your magic please lol.
Thank you so much for the compliment :) I made a fancy tutorial, because more people might be interested in this topic!
There are a few things you can do to solve color bleed and crusty lines while making the Sims 3 patterns. These tips are for Photoshop and the TSR Workshop pattern tool, though they also work for Delphy's pattern tool. The EA CAP tool compresses its image files automatically, so you have no control over it afaik. Save your textures uncompressed! Most of your problem should be solved by saving your images in an uncompressed DDS file format (depending on what DDS plugin you use, it "8.8.8.8 argb 32bpp unsigned" or, in newer versions, "8.8.8.8 bgra 32bpp unsigned". This is an image of the newer dds plugin export dialog with the settings I use:
Tumblr media
This reduces blockiness and color bleed significantly! Note: For maximum visual clarity and the sake of our eyes, starting from now, I will show just the contents of the individual color channels of the image, specifically green and blue. If you click on a single color channel in Photoshop, it will be represented in greyscale. My screenshots therefore also represent a single color channel and do not show how the colors interact with each other. I thought it would be distracting and hard to see if I presented everything in color and this tutorial is not about how to build a pattern, but how to get crisp outlines and the best possible quality.
What is the issue with compressed textures? EA's pattern textures are DDS files that use DXT compression (DXT1 for non-alpha/5 for alpha images, BC1/3 in the newer plugin). If you save your image as a compressed DDS file and reopen it, you will notice that certain areas are blocky/blotchy. That is because lightness and color information is not retained for every pixel, but areas get grouped together in a more or less chessboard-like fashion. In this first example, I increased the contrast to make these compression artifacts more visible so you can see what's going on: Notice the grey blocky areas?
Tumblr media
These cause color bleed in the final pattern and the textures look blurry or washed out. EA's textures have this issue too, because they use compression. In some patterns, the effect is less noticeable than in others, but compressed files will always have a reduced image quality compared to the original image. Deciding to go with uncompressed textures was essential for me to achieve the quality I offer. I reasoned that the patterns are only 256px in size and the performance impact should not be very noticeable. I once made a survey in which I asked whether my patterns cause performance issues, and most said they did not, so I stuck with it.
You could test it out for yourself and decide! If you want to continue to use compression, make sure to change the quality of the compression algorithm to get the best possible result. In the screenshot I posted at the beginning of the tutorial, you can see that I set it to "highest" instead of the usual default "fastest", though this is not really needed if you save uncompressed files. The old DDS plugin used on older Photoshop versions also has that setting, it is just a bit more obscure. I do not have that anymore so I cannot say where exactly. Is it a bug? Lines all around the edges of some channels could also be a Photoshop bug*. This was a regular occurring bug in older versions (before CC 2020 or so.) The issue was that when you scaled down or sometimes even just saved an image that was not just the background layer but had stuff on other layers, there would be a faint line around the whole image. Suuuper annoying! *clarification: It's not an official bug, but a lot of people get annoyed by it. I still had this happen to me with the current 2023 Photoshop version when using bicubic (sharper) on an image with layers, but I do feel there are less problems with saving layered images now. Idk, this might be "feature quirk" after all... Anyway, to avoid the faint lines around your image, follow these tips: Using the bilinear mode when reducing an image's size helps, as does flattening the image before image reduction or file export. I like to create a copy of the entire document using the shortcuts ctrl+shift+alt+e to make sure it appears flattened without actually flattening everything. You could also paste the flattened copy into a new document, merge it down and export the dds file from there. Just try what works best for you. Retaining maximum quality on resizing Most images need to be resized to the pattern size, or you might have made a larger pattern and want that in smaller sizes. You may never have paid much attention to the settings in that image size dialogue, but it holds some key elements to make sure your pattern comes out in the best way possible! Per default, the resizing mode that is used by Photoshop to make an image smaller is "bicubic (sharper)". This mode has a sharpening algorithm that causes halos if the pixels are not white or black, which can create unwanted effects such as white outlines around grey pixels, or grey ones around black areas. Note: even if you have the "bicubic (automatic)" setting, it will still use the "bicubic (sharper)" if you reduce the image size! Let me show you an example: Below, you can see a comparison of bicubic (sharper) reduction vs bilinear reduction. The channel with the black and white checkers has some greyish edges after using bicubic (sharper), which can cause the texture to become unwantedly transparent in these areas, making the colors become muddled in these areas. Using bilinear or nearest neighbor modes (the latter is great for very geometric, crisp shapes), the result is very clean.
Tumblr media
This is why do not recommend to use the bicubic algorithm on your textures. Go for bilinear and nearest neighbor modes, these are perfect for patterns. I do any sharpening of the channels in a more controlled way later.
The best way to sharpen your texture To make the textures look as crisp as possible, you immediately think about the "unsharp mask" feature, right? This might not be your best option though!
If you have a white shape on a black background with a rim of dark grey pixels around it and you want to make it crisp and want that dark grey outline to disappear, unsharp mask will actually do a pretty good job, because it mainly targets those grey pixels and there is nothing to lighten or darken on pure white or pure black. But if you have a lot of grey tones, the algorithm "attacks" a lot in your image, depending on how you set your radius in the options dialogue. Most of the time, the radius is set to a small number, for sharpening details, but it creates a problem for us in the form of halos/bright or dark rims around shapes.
I like to increase the contrast of the individual channels to make the image appear sharper without those halo effects that the "unsharp mask " feature often creates. I love to use the "levels" tool for adjusting the contrast, I use it all the time! I have grey pixels as a starting point and then applied an aggressive "unsharp mask" (strength 100, radius: 1px) to it so you can see the effect. The results are bright halos around the shapes. This will make the edges of the shapes more opaque on the final pattern and can look strange! On very delicate lines, this might be what you want, but for larger areas, this is less desirable.
Tumblr media
Sharpening without actually sharpening
Instead of using "unsharp mask", I like to increase the contrast of the individual channels to make the image appear sharper entirely without those halo effects that the "unsharp mask " feature often creates. I love to use the "levels" tool for adjusting the contrast, I use it all the time!
Tumblr media
On this layer, I have some intricate shapes, which should appear fully opaque. The are already bright white, but the edges are a bit too soft right now to get a truly crisp result, so I use the "levels" tool to increase the contrast and make the edges crisper. You can also use the curves tool for this, but I find the levels tool a bit more intuitive for this process! The curves tool gives you even more control over pixel values and lets you adjust them individually, which can be great, but for the purpose of creating controlled contrast, the levels tool will suffice.
Tumblr media
By moving the marked sliders towards the middle, the contrast is increased. This also works nicely on grey pixels without creating the halo problem.
Another use for the levels tool in this context is to control the thickness of your shapes by moving the middle slider too, like this:
Tumblr media
Final words "Levels" is your friend when adjusting contrast and making things sharper. In some cases, "unsharp mask" or other sharpened options can create a desired effect, such as on more realistic textures such as carpet/fabric textures, wood and stone, where you might want these halos to increase the depth of details. There is always a right time to use any tool, so if levels alone do not give the effect you desire, by all means, give "unsharp mask" a go! Experiment, and find the best way for you. The biggest gain in quality will come from saving in an uncompressed format though. Thanks for reading through the tutorial, I hope it was helpful!

Melco N1-S38 All New-Flagship SSD Music Library Now On Demo!
Tumblr media
Hi All,
Some exciting news! Melco’s all-new flagship SSD - based digital music library, the N1-S38, has finally been released into the wild, and I can honestly say the wait has been worthwhile and it looks very smart indeed. Here at the Hifi Lounge, we have always been an advocate of Melco’s digital libraries, which you will always find in any one of our systems. We have been aware for a while that Melco had been working on a new flagship model and were fortunate enough to get our hands on a demo unit which has now replaced our much-loved N50 - S38. Granted not the most exciting piece of equipment in the HiFi chain, but in a world where streaming has become a dominant source, the focus on how digital music is presented has never been more important.
The N1-S38 delivers at the highest level by building on Melco's proven architecture and achieving its best performance to date. Some of the new features we are most excited about include a switchable 10mhz external clock input that is crying out to be connected to a dCS clock and an SFP port for direct fibre connection, enabling seamless integration with ADOT’s optical fibre upgrade kit, which has proven to be very popular with our customers. Furthermore the N1-S38 benefits from a totally new set of system electronics, a new mainboard, plus a new mains transformer, supply and local regulators. The full breakdown from Melco can be found below detailing new features and upgrades.
If you're considering upgrading or in the market for something that will look after your digital music files, please feel free to come in for a demo. Digital music has never sounded so good!
Cheers,
Billy
Features and Upgrades (Melco)
The new ground-up design is based around a new platform, with a new chassis and casework, plus new power supplies. It offers a previously unreached performance level.
A full-width design, the all-new N1-S38 distils Melco’s decades-long digital music storage, transfer and playback knowledge into an advanced new flagship with great new features.
The N1-S38 benefits from a totally new set of system electronics, a new mainboard, plus a new mains transformer, supply and local regulators.
An audio-specific custom 3.84 TB SSD drive, which benefits from Melco’s proprietary layered, rigid SSD mounter, is directly connected to the data path without any intervening RAID controller; on-board memory is increased, too. 
Hand-made in Japan, in line with all of Melco’s uncompromising digital libraries, the N1-S38 is the first all-new Melco design since the half-width N10 and N100 series launched in 2018. 
The all-new N1-S38 builds on Melco’s proven, unique architecture which carefully transports delicate signal data while avoiding noisy high-speed elements and fast processors.
All-new chassis and casework
Key to the N1-S38’s sophisticated new look is Melco’s all-new casework which benefits from highly stable chassis construction centred around a robust 3 mm stainless steel base plate to minimise unwanted vibration.
Externally, the N1-S38 is complemented by precision-machined two-tone aluminium casework on the remaining five faces, ranging in thickness from 2 mm up to a generous 5 mm, representing a significant upgrade over the half-width N10/2 and N100 models.
Tumblr media
The new fascia design features a unique engraved Melco logo using a special technique, with the bold new aesthetics continuing with the substantial contrasting casework corners which are also machined from solid aluminium billet.
The front panel features Melco’s familiar high-quality positive-click fascia control buttons (now illuminated), a crystal-clear easy-read OLED display panel, plus a USB port. New complementary teal LED lighting provides additional aesthetic appeal. 
The N1-S38’s low-slung steel base plate design and subsequent low-centre-of-gravity chassis construction, prevents unwanted resonance from interfering with the delicate music signal.
Connectivity
At the audiophile-performance level of the N1-S38, conventional USB connections can compromise ultimate performance, so robust die-cast Amphenol USB ports are provided for the rear-mounted DAC, Expansion, Import and Backup ports, for improved performance and durability with heavier-grade premium cables and connectors.
The Melco concept of a dedicated Player port for direct connection to network players is now enhanced by precision Neutrik RJ45 connectors; the LAN port is similarly upgraded.
Following the pioneering application of SFP Fibre (Small Form Factor Pluggable) connectivity in the Melco S10 and recent S100/2 data switch, the new N1-S38 benefits from an SFP port for direct fibre connection to a suitably equipped player or network infrastructure. In a nod to its audiophile credentials, the new N1-S38 also supports a switchable 10 MHz external clock input – a first for a Melco music library. 
Tumblr media
Further features
Further features include a large, newly developed high-capacity power transformer, which is mounted on its own sub-chassis and exceeds that of the existing flagship, the N10/2. This is complemented by a new bespoke device for the capacitor bank.
About Melco
Melco (Maki Engineering Laboratory Company) was established by Makoto Maki in 1975 in Japan. Maki, an enthusiastic audiophile, established the company to design and manufacture the finest audio components of the time; the undoubted masterpiece of the Melco line was the turntable (introduced into the UK in 1980) which set new standards in music reproduction.
From those early beginnings, Melco developed into the largest computer peripherals manufacturer in Japan (Buffalo Inc.), offering advanced products based on rigorous R&D. These included wireless routers, Ethernet data switches and storage devices such as NAS drives. Now, the company is proud to revive the highly respected Melco brand, offering discerning audiophiles high-technology network audio components in the spirit of those much-revered early Melco products, while incorporating the very latest research into reliable, high-performance networked devices and storage.

Importance of images for SEO ranking
Tumblr media
Image Search SEO: Rank Your Images on Top on Google and Other Image Search Engines Just like ranking a web page, you can increase your image rankings by building links to it. The richer the link anchor text, the higher the image will typically rank. Just like ranking a web page, you can increase your image rankings by building links to it. The richer the link anchor text, the higher the image will typically rank. There really hasn’t been much from the search engines on what they might favor when it comes to ranking images, so I was happy to see this patent filing from Microsoft that provided some ideas of what they might be looking for. A critical, but often overlooked factor on our web pages - our images, have a search ranking too. Personally, I love a good funny carton or funny illustration.  And not only can they rank higher in SERPs, but they can also contribute to the overall SEO ranking of our website. And that's why we optimize our images for SEO. Check out how. A little effort on image SEO will help our images and pages rank higher on search engines. A Great insight here. Image search really is a valuable addition to SEO that needs to be thought about, however, most people aren’t as sure on how to rank highly for images Thank you. If you missed the following post, you may find it interesting, too. It contains some other factors that a search engine might look at when ranking images against each other: Funny images and Funny Illustrations may not necessarily be better for search but do engage your reader and keep them on the site longer. Create an image sitemap. This is pretty easy as it is just a list of every image URL. A smart way to do the sitemap is to organize each image and title it then put them in a structure on the page which reflects the site structure. Using HTML or XML for your image sitemap and then submitting that sitemap to Google will help move you up in the image search rankings. If you have only a small number of Images then Use the existing webpage sitemap to list the images. Create a separate heading and list the images there or list them with the page they were on. This should get you on your way to improving the rankings and visibility of your website and your images on Google and other internet searches. Please be sure to take your time and do the research necessary to get and use quality keywords and keyword phrases in your SEO campaigns. How important are the different images that appear on your site, and what do they tell search engines about your pages? Our images play a critical part in how our entire website is ranked but also have a ranking of their own. Remember when we mentioned the importance of structuring your site’s URL correctly to better rank on Google? The logic is the same when we talk about images. As an added measure, it’s a good idea to include captions with your images. While image captions won’t necessarily help your images rank higher in a search, they will help users understand why you’ve chosen specific images for your posts, which leads to an overall better user experience. You want to choose JPG images. For some reason, they just seem to perform better with image search and end up ranking higher. One reason may be that JPGs are readable by any kind of browser a user might be searching with. Adding images to the image sitemap, so that it helps search engines understand which images are present on your site. What are some methods you can use to improve your image search engine ranking? In summary, here’s how you can optimize your images to rank higher in search results: Just like ranking a web page, you can increase your image rankings by building links to it. The richer the link anchor text, the higher the image will typically rank. Take a baseline and watch your search traffic grow as you apply SEO to your images. So, if you are creating a website focusing on ranking higher on search engines, make sure that the image SEO best practices listed in this article are followed without fail. That’s why the tips we gave before are also useful when we want to rank in Google Images. Apply the techniques in this article to optimize images. You may get a leg up on the competition and more eyeballs on your web pages. A great insight here. Image search really is a valuable addition to SEO that needs to be thought about, however, most people aren’t as sure on how to rank highly for images Let me explain the basics of search first before moving to more advanced Image SEO concepts. I really like this topic so much I never knew about image search ranking before, until I found this blog on google search with such good content and a very clear explanation. Keyword Research: If you are wondering how keyword research found first place in my list, the reason is simple, the keywords are the driving factor. If you get it wrong, your images will never show up in search results when users type in their query. Identify the key terms that users are typically searching on Google for your product or service. Make the list of such keywords handy to use while optimizing the images. If you want to know how to do keyword research, we have an extensive guide to help you with that. How do you ensure you can get your share of visibility in Google Images? By the way, if you are running an e-commerce website, image SEO will play a pivotal role not only to rank you higher but also to increase the conversion rate. If you think that image SEO is done only to help you rank higher on Google Image Search, then you are wrong! Last, but not least, if you are looking to rank your images for localized keywords, make sure you do all of the things above, but also add local keywords to everything. Check the Meta Title: 99% of the time, the image search result you see will have a meta title that is closely relevant to the search query entered. This means, that for your images to rank higher, you must also ensure the page title is properly optimized with the right keywords that people use on search engines. Google’s PageSpeed Insights offer some more guidelines on how to optimize your images for maximum site speed. Thanks.

CDAP Vidie/Banner — 17, 19, 28?? They’re such an interesting duo to me
17. What does a relaxing night in look like for them?
For them it's a lot of banter and gossip, one always doing something while the other idly helps. Maybe Vidie is making a new blend of tea and Banner chides her on how she's grinding the leaves, only for Vidie to tell them to do better, only for them to make a fool of themselves as they grind the coarsest tea known to man. Maybe Banner is reviewing a product and Vidie says he's being too harsh, only for Banner to let them try it and be disgusted by its poor quality. Maybe it's the joy that they can be wrong to each other in private as they can be the most pretentious and obnoxious versions of themselves imaginable, complaining about the pacing, casting, and themes of a movie without being told to not be a sourpuss about it.
A lot of the time it's them and some shitty takeout and single armrest chair they like to share while they act like they are the best things in the world to each other. They know they aren't but it's nice to share ego with someone, air out grievances you know will be taken as nitpicks to someone else, and share a closeness without having to be vulnerable.
19. How do they silently/subtly express their love for each other?
This was actually hard because I feel like these two are too direct to be subtle about anything when it comes to expression. Vidie likes flamboyance and tact while Banner treats a lot of interactions like goals to get done with the best performance. I feel like the subtle things are Vidie helping with Banner's work, not reviewing herself but organizing files, bringing her tea, making and just gentle reminders not to over do something. So for Vidie it’s act sof service, warnings and possible just leading Banner away from work to rest. Banner experiences burnout but refuses to do much about it but push through until it’s too much, Vidie is aware enough of this to actually try and wrangle him away.
Banner dotes, it’s just what Banner does. But to be more intimate I feel likes it’s seeking out Vidie to be around, following her and just sharing a general space. Banner won’t be around a person if there’s no need, so just hanging around, wanting to be physically closer, kinda is a big thing. It’s like a cat choosing you to lay on. Vidie accommodates by letting Banner in, scooting over to make room or shifting so they can lean on her. It’s a quiet and intimate moment, no teasing as it kinda takes a lot for Banner to show traditional forms of affection, I feel like they are embarrassed. The others react to these moments like they are special and sometimes Banner feels bad that their affections are treated like a prize even if they understand it. Vidie doesn’t do that and it’s appreciated.
28. What’s something that reminds them of their partner(s)? Do they have anything on them daily as a reminder (a photo, phone background, tattoo, clothing/accessory, etc)?
Before the fall out I like to think Vidie kept a lot of Banner's tea in her home, a lot of everyone's tea actually. When in the mood to think about someone she brewed a cup and basked in them. On a more personal note, it would be one of their samples, it's odd but Banner gives out a lot to the ads. It's unusual for ads to be so loose with their wares to non-lighteners and it's a weird special privilege to get that many. They don't expire so Vidie keeps them like collectors' items. Again it's odd but I feel like addison can be a bit funky. After I feel like it's magazines, Vidie only gets the ones that carry Banner's reviews and columns in them, specifically ripping them and cutting them out and saving them. He would defend this by saying he just wants to track how downhill the quality of the reviews are going but it really is admiration and desire to hear Banner's critiques in person again, to laugh and play devil's advocate for whatever poor thing is under the scrutiny of Banner's eye. To congratulate them on a job well done while offering feedback. It's just the level of impersonal to not have to dwell on it.
Before the fall out Banner didn't really keep anything from Vidie more so collected a bunch of items that they believed they would like. Banner is a reviewer and has an innate desire to cast judgment and be praised for her insights. The idea she knew exactly what Vidie liked and got the correct thing means a lot. Especially when they go out and they can't help but notice the exact things that would make it something Vidie liked, loved or adored. This of course meant that after the break up it was very difficult for Banner to want to go anywhere as everything was seen through the lens of what people she was no longer on good terms with would like. Thinking how he can't get it for them anymore and ultimately doing away with what they think they would like in their own home just to not think about it. If Banner kept anything I believe it would've been the rings Vidie sold. Vidie had excess, not every ring sold and just like Banner with the samples, he'd give them to the ads based on what he thought they would like. Obviously getting your partner a ring can carry a lot of meaning to us but they are darkeners, courting is always so direct, especially for ads. Though I like to believe Banner overthinks it, how addisons are meant to mimic lighteners and what that could mean for the plethora of bands and rings, they were given, that they continue to keep. Maybe they hope they were reading into it the right way.
These two love based on the worst parts of each other.

I suggest looking into models that offer fast printing speeds, as well as features like automatic duplexing and wireless connectivity. Additionally, it's important to find a printer that uses quality ink and toner cartridges, so that your prints come out with crisp and vibrant colors. Finally, be sure to check reviews of any printer you're considering to get an idea of how well it performs.
2. Utilize a pre-designed template to easily customize and print labels.
We offer a variety of pre-designed templates that you can use to easily customize and print labels. All you need to do is select the template that best suits your needs, customize it however you like, and send it to the printer.
3. Use a high resolution for your images and backgrounds for a sharp finish.
High resolution images and backgrounds always give the best look for a finished product. It's important to keep the resolution high to ensure it looks crisp and clear.
4. Make sure your label design is optimized for easy printing.
When designing your label, it is important to consider the printing process. Make sure that you select the right paper type and finish for the desired result. Additionally, ensure that the design elements are optimized for the printing process. This could include using vector artwork and avoiding filters or effects that can cause issues with printing. Finally, it is essential to create a file that is in the correct size and format for the printer. By taking these steps, you can ensure that your label design is optimized for easy printing.
5. Print labels in batches to save time and effort.
Printing labels in batches is an excellent way to save time and effort. It allows you to quickly and easily print multiple labels at once. You can also save time by using a label printing app that can store your template designs for easy re-use. Additionally, using a Label Printing in Jaipur with multiple paper trays allows you to quickly switch between different sizes and types of labels without having to reload the printer. With a little bit of planning and organization, batch printing labels can be a great way to streamline your workflow.
Use a label printing software with an automated workflow.
I understand that you are looking for a label printing software with an automated workflow. I recommend checking out Label joy, which is a user-friendly label printing software that allows you to create professional labels quickly and easily. It has an automated workflow feature that allows you to create labels in batches and print them out in just a few clicks. Plus, it offers a great selection of label templates to choose from, so you can customize your labels according to your needs. I hope this helps!
Choose a label stock that is designed for quick printing.
If you are looking for a label stock that is designed for quick printing, you may want to consider using a thermal transfer roll stock. Thermal transfer roll stock is designed for high-speed printing and is ideal for printing large quantities of labels quickly and efficiently. Additionally, this type of stock is often more cost-effective than other types of label stock.

5 Things Every Photographer Needs To Consider When Shooting Events
Planning for a shoot can be tough and requires you to get things just right. You need to know the setup, lighting, and everything else that goes into making a photo perfect. But what if you're shooting an event? In this blog post, we talk about five considerations every photographer should have in mind when shooting events.
-1) What is your goal as a photographer?
As a photographer, my goal is to capture the moments that matter most to my clients. I want to create photos that they will cherish for a lifetime.
I approach each event with a fresh eye and an open mind. I am always looking for new and innovative ways to capture the essence of the event. My ultimate goal is to create stunning photos that my clients will absolutely love!
-2) Know the feel of the event.
When shooting events, it's important to be aware of the overall feel of the event. Is it a formal affair? A casual party? A fast-paced concert? Knowing the feel of the event will help you capture the right moments and scenes.
Formal events tend to be more structured, with specific activities or moments that are important to capture. For example, at a wedding you might want to focus on the ceremony, the first dance, or cutting the cake. At a corporate event, you might want to capture key speeches or presentations.
Casual events are often more relaxed and informal, giving you more opportunity to capture candid moments and natural interactions. For example, at a family reunion you might want to focus on people chatting and laughing together, or kids playing games. At a house party you might want to capture people dancing or socializing.
Fast-paced events can be challenging to shoot, but often offer unique photo opportunities. For example, at a sporting event you might want to capture the excitement of the game, or get close-ups of athletes in action. At a music festival you might want to focus on the energy of the crowd and capturing performers onstage.
-3) Consider the timeline
When shooting events, it's important to consider the timeline of the event and how long you'll be shooting for. Will there be breaks in between? How long will the event last? What time of day will it be taking place?
These are all important factors to consider when planning your event photography. By taking into account the timeline of the event, you can better plan your shots and ensure that you capture all the important moments.
-4) Know the venue and lighting
When shooting events, it is important to know the venue and lighting in order to get the best results. The venue can provide insight on how to best capture the event, while lighting can affect the mood and feel of the images.
Consider the following when choosing a venue:
-The size of the space
-The type of event
-The time of day
-The available light
Size: A small venue will require a different approach than a large one. You will need to be closer to your subjects in a small space, while you can be more creative with your shots in a large space.
Type: The type of event will dictate the kind of photos you take. A wedding will require formal shots, while a concert will allow for more candid images. Time of day: The time of day can affect the type of light available, which in turn affects the quality of your photos. Available light: If there is not enough natural light, you may need to use flash or artificial lighting. This can be tricky, so it is important to know how to use these tools before you shoot.
-5) Set up a plan for post processing
After the event is over, it's time to start post processing. This can be a daunting task, but it's important to have a plan.
Here are a few things to consider when post processing your event photos:
1) Decide what format you want to deliver the photos in. Will you be delivering digital files, prints, or both?
2) Choose the right software for the job. If you're going to be doing a lot of editing, you'll need software that can handle that. Lightroom and Photoshop are both good choices for this.
3) Organize your photos. This will make postprocessing a lot easier and quicker. Create folders for each day of the event and put all of the photos from that day into its own folder.
4) Start with the basics. Edit your photos for exposure, contrast, white balance, etc. Then move on to more advanced edits like retouching and compositing.
5) Make sure you save your edited photos in a format that is suitable for delivery (e.g., JPEG for digital files). 
6) Deliver the photos to your client. This can be done electronically or by mailing them a disk or USB drive.

Best Skyrim SE Graphics Mods - Gamerstips
Tumblr media
💾 ►►► DOWNLOAD FILE 🔥🔥🔥 Skyrim hit its tenth birthday recently, and a list of the best Skyrim mods remains as useful as ever. More useful, even, given that hundreds of new mods are still being released for the fantasy RPG every week. If you're planning on starting the game fresh, or just looking for something new to add to your existing mod mountain, you should find something worth your time below. Almost every mod we've chosen will work with either the regular or Skyrim Special Edition, and we've provided links to both versions - or similar alternatives - where necessary. There's also undoubtedly many, many great mods that we've not included. If you think your favourite Skyrim mod is an essential install, then take to the comments and make your case. We love discovering new mods, too, and may include your suggestion in a future revision. Watch on YouTube. What I like to do is create a new, unmodified game, get somewhere like Riverwood and then create a save that I can use for testing. We've only picked the very best Skyrim mods, but there are so many available that we've had to break them down by category. You can hop directly to the kind of mod you want via the links below. There are several good ones, but Nexus Mod Manager is your best bet. Download Nexus Mod Manager. Before you test anything in-game, run LOOT. It takes seconds. You can launch it directly from the. Download Achievements Mods Enabler. Basically, it spruces up a huge pile of 3D models, making all of Skyrim look nicer in hundreds of tiny ways. Skyrim HD is a long-running texture mod that replaces over textures. Everything from the sky and mountains to the interiors of ramshackle hovels has been done up. Optionally, you can download just the cities, landscapes, dungeons or miscelleanous packs. This is specifically for old Skyrim, but there are plenty of great alternatives for the Special Edition. Another huge, broad texture mod, this time specifically for the Special Edition. The latest version of the mod only comes with one complete file, but the version is more modular. You can pick what you want retextured, whether it's just the roads, only mountains or all of Riften. Download Skyrim Textures. More than most other mods, the lighting, post-processing and colour tweaks made by ENBs and Reshade mods are down to personal preference. In OG Skyrim, I was rather partial to RealVision ENB, and it still makes the seven-year-old game look absolutely gorgeous, though it does come at the cost of performance. When the Special Edition first launched, flashy post-processing options were limited while we waited for ENB to be updated. ELFX wants to make Skyrim pretty, not just realistically lit. Both mods are great, so it really depends on what kind of atmosphere you want to generate. You could always mix and match, and even throw in an ENB for good measure. Since Skyrim is full of forests, Skyrim Flora Overhaul has a pretty dramatic effect. It includes lots of new, high-quality tree models, even more grasses and plants, and loads of visual tweaks that generally make forests look deeper and more imposing. There are so many tiny touches that make this mod brilliant, like curated sound effects and animated icebergs. The Special Edition introduced a new water flow system, which is nice and all, but it was applied to all bodies of water indiscriminately, which made less sense. Realistic Water also fixes that. Download Better Roads or the Special Edition version. Download Climates of Tamriel or the Special Edition version. Interesting NPCs is packed with new characters scattered all over Skyrim, each with their own background, schedule and branching dialogue. With these tweaks, NPCs respond in more realistic and diverse ways to things like weather, attacks and their day-to-day schedules, depending on who they are. Most important is the survival instinct feature, letting NPCs evaluate threats and act accordingly. Download Immersive Citizens or the Special Edition version. This throws in everything from warring goblin tribes to considerably more exotic and indescribable nightmares. The world a bit more deadly. Download Immersive Creatures or the Special Edition version. It creates patrols for not just the factions of the civil war, the Stormcloaks and Imperials, but also the Dawnguard and Thalmor. There are even some raider patrols, too. These warbands clash in specific areas, with forts and territory changing hands depending on the outcome of the battle. Download Immersive Patrols or the Special Edition version. Ever wanted to traipse around Skyrim with your very own supernatural band? Amazing Follower Tweaks is an extremely helpful follower management tool that lets you have multiple followers, organise their equipment and give them orders, but the best bit is being able to turn them into vampires and werewolves. Speaking of deadly, magical monsters with a thirst for blood and flesh, this mod makes NPCs run away when one of them attacks. Dragons and vampires will scare off NPCs, making them run to their home or the nearest inn until the area is safe again. Not with Convenient Horses, however. Download Convenient Horses or the Special Edition version. Relationship Dialogue Overhaul makes Skyrim a chattier place. NPCs get a whopping 5, lines of new, reactive dialogue, all voiced. NPCs react more realistically, letting you know what they think of you, while followers will take into account their relationship with you. Simply Better Movement Speed tweaks how fast you move while walking, running and sneaking. Walking speed has been significantly boosted, while running is slower. The pace feels more natural, making it necessary to get a horse for long journeys, but making wandering around towns and villages much quicker. It also makes players the same speed as NPCs, so following people around is no longer a chore where you have to make constant adjustments. Getting lycanthropy is a great way to shake things up, but as much fun as it is to stomp around Skyrim as a massive wolf, the system is pretty underdeveloped. Moonlight Tales, then, is essential if you plan on tearing people apart during a full moon. It completely overhauls werewolves, replacing the perk tree, introducing new abilities, forcing lunar transformations and, best of all, letting you become a werebear. Download Moonlight Tales or the Special Edition version. There is a seemingly endless supply of user-created weapons on the Skyrim Nexus, but Immersive Weapons should always be at the top of your list. The benefit of using this instead of adding all your weapons piecemeal is that these weapons have been designed to co-exist, keeping balance and lore in mind. Unlike lightsabers. Download Immersive Weapons or the Special Edition version. Like the weapon mod, it introduces hundreds of new pieces of lore-appropriate armour and shields, allowing you to finally live out your dream of wearing a saber-toothed cat on your head. There are some nifty accessories, too, including eye patches and scarves. Download Immersive Armors or the Special Edition version. It adds new item slots to your body and then provides a vast number of pouches, bags and bandoliers that you can strap onto yourself. Download Bandoliers or the Special Edition version. It summons a bounty of cloaks into the world, nearly styles in all, ranging from faction-specific clobber to tattered, monstrous garments that only a Daedra would wear. NPCs will wear them, too, and they actually make guards look more authoritative. A nice cloak commands respect. Download Cloaks of Skyrim or the Special Edition version. Only mugs hold their own lanterns. You can attach the lantern to your belt, or you can just give it to one of your followers; they can hold or wear it for you. Even handier! Honestly, is there any need for the sun now that we've got this sorted? Download Wearable Lanterns or the Special Edition version. Download Deadly Cabbages or the Special Edition version. You can expand your arcane arsenal with blood magic, druidic spells and all sorts of new stuff that can then be combined to create even more powerful results. Cast some lightning magic on someone you just soaked with water magic, for instance, and you're going to do a bit more harm. You can even clone enemies, turn them into chickens or break the laws of time and space. Apocalypse has fewer spells, but boy are they fun. And flashy! You can summon tornadoes and volcanoes, rip ghosts out of corpses and send them towards enemies or trap people in mystical prisons. The handiest, however, are often the more mundane spells, like being able to find gold veins or conjuring up spectral bridges that transport you across large gaps. OK, that's not mundane at all. The mod neatly slots into the game and feels like a natural extension of the existing magic system, but a lot more creative. There are some differences between the versions, but both improve combat AI and introduce attacks of opportunity and timed blocking. Generally, combat is faster and more deadly, with weapons dealing more damage. VioLens lets you customise your killmoves, both melee and ranged, letting you decide how often they appear and what move each weapon triggers. If you want to give your fights some extra cinematic flair, this is a good way to go about it. Swap out the boring vanilla idle weapon animations for something a bit fancier. Pretty Combat Animations lets you pick from full animation sets that change what your character looks like when they run, walk and sneak while armed or unarmed, if you're just using your fists. You'll look dangerous even when you're just standing around. There are maybe a few too many trees, though I am a fan of the overgrown look. The should still work with Special Edition anyway, but there might be some unforeseen issues. Download Towns and Villages Enhanced. They're not quite the dramatic visual overhaul that Towns and Villages Enhanced is, but together these two mods replace the vanilla textures with high-quality versions and add new bits and pieces. The textures are much improved, but they otherwise maintain the original aesthetic, while the towns that have been expanded so far Darkwater Crossing, Dawnstar and Riverwood are familiar but busier. Skyrim hides all of its cities behind gates and loading screens; Open Cities Skyrim smashes them down. This beefy mod moves the cities into the main Skyrim map, rather than the pocket dimension in which they existed, so you can seamlessly move between city and wilderness. Poor Helgen. It only got a few minutes of screentime before it got roasted, along with most of its inhabitants. Helgen Reborn, then, is a lovely mod that gives the town a second life. Download Helgen Reborn or the Special Edition version. Similar to Helgen Reborn, this mod revitalises the gloomy town of Winterhold as you work through a quest. Those merchants, I should add, are very wealthy, so it's a great place to offload your inventory. Everyone wins! Download Winterhold Rebuilt or the Special Edition version. Alternate Start is the best way to start a new game of Skyrim. Falskaar is a total conversion mod created by Alexander Velicky to prove to Bethesda he could make something that rivalled their DLC, but with a fraction of their resources. Adding approximately 20 hours to the base game, Falskaar is an impressive mod that adds a whole new land independent of Tamriel, accessible by portal and later by boat. It boasts new items and shouts, and adds 26 new quests - which includes nine main story ventures and 17 side quests. Download Falskaar or the Special Edition version. Think Poirot, but with magic and ethical conundrums. It feels like a professional production that just happens to also be a mod for Skyrim. A standalone game based on the mod is also in the works. Sick of chilly Skyrim? Hop on a wagon and take a trip to distant Elsweyr, the home of the fluffy Khajiit. The rainforest and desert makes a nice change of scene, and the Khajiit are far more interesting than the moody Nords. As well as a change in setting, there are plenty of entertaining quests, NPCs and, above all else, an airship of your very own. Moonpath to Elsweyr is almost as old as Skyrim and was a bit creaky as a result, but it started getting updated again last year. With a main storyline alone that amounts to 30 hours of questing, Enderal is a titanic mod set in an entirely new land made up of tropical costs, frosty mountains and dense forests. There are countless new assets, running the gamut from photo-scanned rocks to new monsters. And a great one, to boot. Total Character Makeover takes the best appearances from Skyrim Nexus, spruces them up even more and collects them in one convenient package. Worried your greasy hair is holding you back? Keep finding twigs in your mane right after a job interview? The mod offers up a ridiculous number of new styles. Download Apachii's Skyhair or the Special Edition version. It turns each perk tree into a cohesive class, though of course the perks are still all designed to be mixed and matched. Take Alchemy, for instance. The vanilla tree just gives you some resistances and lets you make more powerful potions. The Ordinator version, however, transforms you into a mad scientist, dripping horrible pools of magical and explosive oil and figuring out new ways to hurt people with poisons. Building your own unique class is infinitely more rewarding with all these exotic perks. There are search fields, you can make lists of favourites and everything is displayed clearly. It cuts out so much mucking around. It also includes the Mod Configuration Menu, an extremely handy tool that makes it easy to customise mods. A Quality World Map - With Roads is considerably more detailed, clear and, importantly, shows you where all the roads are. Frostfall turns Skyrim into a survival game. Trekking through Winterhold wearing the wrong gear or taking a dip in an ice water lake can prove fatal — be sure to wrap up. Download Frostfall or the Special Edition version. Campfire takes the camping system from Frostfall and spins it into an even more developed standalone mod. You can craft camping gear, make roaring hearths that give you bonuses and even become a tracker. Nobody really needs to eat in Skyrim, which explains the abundance of food. Imagine how miserable all the chefs must be, preparing food that nobody is remotely interested in. The best they can hope for is that an adventurer will scoff some as a last resort. Realistic Needs and Diseases returns food to its lofty status. Drinking is similarly necessary. There are other negative effects before death, but also lots of positive ones for eating well. It mostly adds visual effects that complement the foul weather, but it also changes NPC behaviours. During bad weather, NPCs will have different reactions depending on their race, age and job. Download Wet and Cold or the Special Edition version. Lonely Mountains: Downhill goes murderously fast but appreciates stopping for a good view. What's better: Cameras which actually take pictures, or running into a wall so fast you hurt yourself? This visual novel takes you on a lovely little cycling tour.

The handiest, however, are often the more mundane spells, like being able to find gold veins or conjuring up spectral bridges that transport you across large gaps. OK, that's not mundane at all. The mod neatly slots into the game and feels like a natural extension of the existing magic system, but a lot more creative. There are some differences between the versions, but both improve combat AI and introduce attacks of opportunity and timed blocking. Generally, combat is faster and more deadly, with weapons dealing more damage. VioLens lets you customise your killmoves, both melee and ranged, letting you decide how often they appear and what move each weapon triggers. If you want to give your fights some extra cinematic flair, this is a good way to go about it. Swap out the boring vanilla idle weapon animations for something a bit fancier. Pretty Combat Animations lets you pick from full animation sets that change what your character looks like when they run, walk and sneak while armed or unarmed, if you're just using your fists. You'll look dangerous even when you're just standing around. There are maybe a few too many trees, though I am a fan of the overgrown look. The should still work with Special Edition anyway, but there might be some unforeseen issues. Download Towns and Villages Enhanced. They're not quite the dramatic visual overhaul that Towns and Villages Enhanced is, but together these two mods replace the vanilla textures with high-quality versions and add new bits and pieces. The textures are much improved, but they otherwise maintain the original aesthetic, while the towns that have been expanded so far Darkwater Crossing, Dawnstar and Riverwood are familiar but busier. Skyrim hides all of its cities behind gates and loading screens; Open Cities Skyrim smashes them down. This beefy mod moves the cities into the main Skyrim map, rather than the pocket dimension in which they existed, so you can seamlessly move between city and wilderness. Poor Helgen. It only got a few minutes of screentime before it got roasted, along with most of its inhabitants. Helgen Reborn, then, is a lovely mod that gives the town a second life. Download Helgen Reborn or the Special Edition version. Similar to Helgen Reborn, this mod revitalises the gloomy town of Winterhold as you work through a quest. Those merchants, I should add, are very wealthy, so it's a great place to offload your inventory. Everyone wins! Download Winterhold Rebuilt or the Special Edition version. Alternate Start is the best way to start a new game of Skyrim. Falskaar is a total conversion mod created by Alexander Velicky to prove to Bethesda he could make something that rivalled their DLC, but with a fraction of their resources. Adding approximately 20 hours to the base game, Falskaar is an impressive mod that adds a whole new land independent of Tamriel, accessible by portal and later by boat. It boasts new items and shouts, and adds 26 new quests - which includes nine main story ventures and 17 side quests. Download Falskaar or the Special Edition version. Think Poirot, but with magic and ethical conundrums. It feels like a professional production that just happens to also be a mod for Skyrim. A standalone game based on the mod is also in the works. Sick of chilly Skyrim? Hop on a wagon and take a trip to distant Elsweyr, the home of the fluffy Khajiit. The rainforest and desert makes a nice change of scene, and the Khajiit are far more interesting than the moody Nords. As well as a change in setting, there are plenty of entertaining quests, NPCs and, above all else, an airship of your very own. Moonpath to Elsweyr is almost as old as Skyrim and was a bit creaky as a result, but it started getting updated again last year. With a main storyline alone that amounts to 30 hours of questing, Enderal is a titanic mod set in an entirely new land made up of tropical costs, frosty mountains and dense forests. There are countless new assets, running the gamut from photo-scanned rocks to new monsters. And a great one, to boot. Total Character Makeover takes the best appearances from Skyrim Nexus, spruces them up even more and collects them in one convenient package. Worried your greasy hair is holding you back? Keep finding twigs in your mane right after a job interview? The mod offers up a ridiculous number of new styles. Download Apachii's Skyhair or the Special Edition version. It turns each perk tree into a cohesive class, though of course the perks are still all designed to be mixed and matched. Take Alchemy, for instance. The vanilla tree just gives you some resistances and lets you make more powerful potions. The Ordinator version, however, transforms you into a mad scientist, dripping horrible pools of magical and explosive oil and figuring out new ways to hurt people with poisons. Building your own unique class is infinitely more rewarding with all these exotic perks. There are search fields, you can make lists of favourites and everything is displayed clearly. It cuts out so much mucking around. It also includes the Mod Configuration Menu, an extremely handy tool that makes it easy to customise mods. A Quality World Map - With Roads is considerably more detailed, clear and, importantly, shows you where all the roads are. Frostfall turns Skyrim into a survival game. Trekking through Winterhold wearing the wrong gear or taking a dip in an ice water lake can prove fatal — be sure to wrap up. Download Frostfall or the Special Edition version. Campfire takes the camping system from Frostfall and spins it into an even more developed standalone mod. You can craft camping gear, make roaring hearths that give you bonuses and even become a tracker. Nobody really needs to eat in Skyrim, which explains the abundance of food. Imagine how miserable all the chefs must be, preparing food that nobody is remotely interested in. The best they can hope for is that an adventurer will scoff some as a last resort. Realistic Needs and Diseases returns food to its lofty status. Drinking is similarly necessary. There are other negative effects before death, but also lots of positive ones for eating well. It mostly adds visual effects that complement the foul weather, but it also changes NPC behaviours. During bad weather, NPCs will have different reactions depending on their race, age and job. Download Wet and Cold or the Special Edition version. Lonely Mountains: Downhill goes murderously fast but appreciates stopping for a good view.

Mondo Purchased From Alamo Drafthouse by Funko
Tumblr media
Well, this is a hell of a thing to dig into first thing Monday morning.
Enough that I had to dust off the blog.
Let’s get into the key snippets…
Variety:
Funko is popping cult-fave pop-culture brand Mondo into its merch mix.
Under a deal with indie theater chain Alamo Drafthouse, Funko acquired Mondo, which creates and sells vinyl records and soundtracks, posters, toys, apparel, books, games and other collectibles. About 30 Mondo employees are joining Funko.
Financial terms of the deal are not being disclosed, but it’s obviously not massive. Funko says it does not expect the Mondo acquisition to have a material impact on its financial performance in 2022.
Alamo Drafthouse:
Driven by passion, Mondo’s core team of creatives transformed that small ticket booth into something none of us could have ever imagined. Nineteen years into the journey, I look back at the amazing body of work that Mondo has created in posters, soundtracks, and collectibles and am truly in awe. I couldn’t be more proud of the amazing team that has over and over again set a staggeringly high bar for imagination, quality, and beauty.
That said, the past two years have been brutal and harrowing at Alamo and Mondo. We filed bankruptcy and thankfully emerged from COVID in fighting shape, ready to continue our mission of being the best damn cinema that has ever or will ever exist. While we were closed, however, Mondo was our saving grace, the only facet of our business that kept the lights on.
Now, with the dark days behind us and each weekend bringing box office successes, Alamo is seizing opportunities to grow our cinema footprint with seven new locations across the country that have been announced recently and more to come. As the company resources are focused on this growth, we realized that perhaps a bold and exciting new chapter is about to begin for Mondo.
Over the past few months, we searched exhaustively to find a perfect partner who saw what was unique and special about Mondo and was in a position to meaningfully invest in Mondo, nurture the team, and further its reach and vision. Funko is exactly that unicorn.
The team that made Mondo amazing is staying together, making the transition to Funko, and will continue their same work with the same creative vision. I am super excited about the future plans I know about, and I’m sure I will soon marvel at the work that is not yet even a lightbulb spark.
Mondo:
For 20 years, we have poured our heart and souls into this weird little thing that Rob Jones and Tim League started in a closet in the corner of an Alamo Drafthouse lobby… then out of a closet underneath the seats of a Drafthouse auditorium (seriously). Eventually, we opened our own gallery space, and even started our own convention.
We have always loved following our passions and doing things our own way, and we’ll be forever thankful to the Alamo Drafthouse for supporting those passions and helping us grow into what we are today. But we needed a bigger boat… and that’s where Funko comes in. They understand what Mondo is today and are eager to help us become the company we want to be.
From the outside, Mondo might seem like it is changing… but on the inside much is staying the same. We remain the same team, and our goals remain unchanged. We are still the same bunch of weirdos who share an undying obsession with popular (and maybe less popular) culture, and a craving to make cool stuff with the best artists in the world.
Lord knows I’ve spent enough of the past 14 years on this site worshiping the creations of the team at Mondo, so I had to dig in.
At its core, this isn’t a horrible pairing. Mondo lives and dies by their ability to get licenses, Funko has all the licenses.
The bigger concern is one of quality control. Funko is a very mass produced product. Mondo is not. Mondo is an artisan celebration of pop culture, with each artist selected and chosen specifically as a pairing.
Will this be able to remain the status quo with this purchase? My cynical side says no, but I’m very willing (if not wanting) to be wrong.
Let’s see how this plays out.

I love TV shows with a great sound track selection.
My latest fascination and obsession stems from and is totally focused on Dark TV Series, I have finished the third season and I can't stop watching it. Although it's not exactly the greatest show on the planet but there are two things I love about the show. The precise casting work of the agent is the first. They show three or four distinct versions of the same character each with a 33-year increment. This is a great illustration of my point.
Tumblr media
Music is the 2nd thing that I was most impressed with about this show. Yes, of course, the story must be mentioned, and obviously it is at the top of this list of incredible aspects of Dark. The focus of this article is not on the plot twists or wicked developments of the television show. Instead, I'd like to concentrate on the music, the soundtrack, or, if you prefer to put it that way, the ambience and background music, the sound effects that create moods that sums everything up the music. The team that is responsible for the music selection has performed a a fantastic job. They can find the appropriate songs that create or break the mood in key moments of their show, and they are able to do this. It is impossible to imagine how the show could exist without the music. This lullaby that isn't familiar may be the strangest or most remembered song I'm hearing at the moment. I don't know if TV shows hace to cite the music in the final section, or maybe they specifically find songs in the public domain that don't need to be acknowledged I don't know. But I do remember that I needed to look up the song by its lyrics and not the title since the title wasn't there. I stumbled upon this YouTube page to listen to the song of Bonaparte. The track's name on the YouTube page. You may also look up the lyrics by using the title. You can check out the video I've posted. Do you think it's possible to accept my views? It's the most bizarre song, but it's so compelling. I'm in love with the music and show. So much so that I wanted to create my own mixtape. I looked up all the lyrics online and realized it would take two CDs in order to hold the two hours of music. I used convert-to-mp3 for saving all the songs on CD maker. The two CDs were made for me. Normally, I would just download video clips from Youtube. However this time I realized that the music I was searching for was on CDs. Are you an old-fashioned person? Perhaps I'm an old man. Don't think that I am a jerk my car is equipped with an excellent sound system. Audio on Youtube isn't great quality and has very poor bass. It's all encoded in the mp3 encoder. It reduces frequencies barely audible for humans, and also removes lots if almost useless audio. It makes mp3 files smaller and easier to handle. These days before going to bed I still check out the videos I've saved to my tablet.. Blue tooth is used to transmit music straight onto the boombox. It provides an extremely enjoyable sound spectrum. At home, I don't have MP3, which is why I also listen to music as well as watch videos, since MP4 format is the one I pick for the tablet. Both were easy to download using convert two mp3 software tools online free and save for everyone. You can also get to Youtube faster by using the webapp. Search engine built into Youtube allows you to search for videos and save them as mp3 or MP4 files to your device. http://ytmp3.digital يوتيوب ام بي 4 You can now create your very personal Dark music mixtape. or any other TV show or film. This idea is endlessly possible, as you can find all the best music that was popular today, tomorrow and fifty years ago on Youtube. Remember the title or some words from the lyrics.

Hi omg!! Is there a specific website/app you use to make your gifs this hd. I really want to learn. Love your content by the way!
Ahhhh thank you so much! 
The two apps I use are vapoursynth to cut and resize and photoshop cc 2017! So I am going to break down some of my tips and where you can learn more. There are many ways to make your gifs hd, this is just one of many and how I like to do it. 
Sourcing Videos
So finding a high quality video for your gif is half the work. In terms of live performance gifs like my Megan thee Stallion set or a Kpop live set, I will go for a .ts file which pulls directly from the broadcast. Usually if I am making a larger gif that;s 540px, I try to stick with 1080 and above. If I am making 268px gifs I can do 720, maybe a 480. 
For western media, particularly performances and stuff, I go use ncurban or sharemania (you can create a free account i use a burner email). For korean media, reference this masterlist resource, its a fantastic overview even if you aren’t a kpop fan that goes into other videosourcing tips. and I use dramaday to download my kdramas and youtube for cdramas. 
VapourSynth
I use Vapoursynth, which helps clip and resize my clips without losing a lot of quality. If you have an older laptop without much ram, it can take a long time. 
Download Vapoursynth plus how it works. Also check out their tag for any troubleshooting too
Tutorial on How to use Vapoursynth to Make Gifs 
Tips: I just use the KNMCL and Finesharp functions to sharpen and denoise, and the trick is to adjust based on the file you have. I usually preview and mess with the setting until I get it to where I like it. 
Also don’t use vapoursynth with large .mkv files, you can convert it to .mp4 which is friendlier with VS using Avidemux and the tutorial for that is here. It’s simple and doesn’t take too long. 
Photoshop 2017
There are versions you can download out there. I used this one.
Really here, there isn’t much I do outside of coloring and editing if I’m making more of a gfx. 
Other Resources/Tips
There was a challenge some other friends and I participated in around showing our gifmaking process and there are some videos of our processes you can find and learn from here(dingyuxi), here(seongwu), here(joonie) here(gimme-a-chocolate),  and here(mine). You can slow them down since they’re sped up versions. 
My tag content creation will have basically resources, templates, and tutorials.  Resources like @itsphotoshop​ or @completeresources​ all have some great tutorials that I use all the time, not just for gifmaking but other things too. 
This is all just technical info but really, like any other discipline or practice or skill, practice at it and dont expect your first time to be the best because you’re always going to improve and learn. I’m always open as a resource and there are some great content creators on here who share their knowledge as well. I learned a lot from creators and friends on here like @joonie, @lavenderbyun @nthonystark  @seongwu​ and many others, so if you can find a community or a group of friends, that is so helpful. 
Good luck and hope this helps!
