2023.06.06 16:02 Notaraccoon10 [1x1] [Discord] [Sci Fi]

Hello gang!
I'm Bedtime, 31, F/NB and in the EST time zone! I've been writing for around 20 years, in both a collaborative sense as well as on my own! I'm looking for some Original Sci Fi goodness today - a world we build together!!
Partners need to be over 21, but over 25 is preferred - I'm Old, and like to write with fellow Old people. Minors need not apply. All characters will be over 21 as well. I can post multiple times a day, usually hitting the discord limit or more! However I don't expect my partners to always match me in length - but substance is a must. I'm almost always around on discord, but I'm not often available to write on the weekends.
I'm also an artist! I love to draw characters, and will definitely do fan art of I get absorbed by the RP. I've attached a link to my Carrd, with a writing sample, more about me, and some examples of my art! I'm ghost friendly - we've all done it, it's okay - and gwrnally a very laid back individual.
More details about what I'm looking for:
I'd really like to build a Sci Fi world with someone! Inspirations include The Expanse, Star Wars, Mass Effect and a dash of Star Trek. So a mix of hard Sci Fi with some space fantasy thrown in. For example, spaceships require gravity generators but there are aliens and other more fantastical elements. Character wise, I'm looking for someone to play a male, or if you'd be willing to double that would be amazing!!! I love doubling, which is where we both play two characters. Romance is a must for me, and NSFW will be on the table, but not the focus. I like a ratio of like 60:40. Plot and character development comes first!
Speaking of plot, I have a few ideas I'd love to develop with someone. 1. A princess of an isolationist planet with a dying population must venture into the wider universe for help - how does she accomplish this? Who does she meet along the way? 2. A spy who is controlled and monitored by an implant is sent to infiltrate an important galactic meeting - the person controlling the implant has nefarious ideas. Will the Spy succumb to the mind control? What exactly is the bad guy planning? 3. A Character crash lands on B character's planet - a deadly, toxic place where tech hasnt advanced to space flight. How do they meet? How do they manage to communicate?
These are just a few ideas, but if you have your own I'd love to hear them!
Overall, I'd like this story to contain action, drama, romance, angst, a dollop of adult content and most of all, be FUN!!!
If this interests you, send me a DM and we can chat a bit before moving to Discord!

2023.06.06 15:13 mywhiteflag Good morning Nerd

I had a dream about you last night. We were sitting outside talking. You gazed at me with that smile you often gave me, and I responded in kind. You were warm and content. Our conversation took a turn, as they usually do, to something more intimate (personal between us). We exchanged romantic smiles and looks, along with words of endearment and love.
My dream switched to a room... I won't write out what transpired between us but I'll say it was fucking magical.
Something inside you must have snapped because you took a 180. You went straight from being affectionate and telling me your feelings and pouring out your heart to being distant and cold, and saying random things that sounded purposely crafted to draw a barrier between us. Some of them were mean. Some of them were things you've already said to me in the real world. Pushing me away to the distance of a casual friend.
You checked the time on your phone, stared at your screen for a few minutes, tapped something out, and then told me you had to go. You were civil in your goodbye, but you didn't even hug me. It was as if I was suddenly just a random stranger or acquaintance to you. Then you came back to make sure I was okay, you were caring... but only just caring. Patted me on the back like one would a buddy of his, and spoke to me like a close male friend. It didn't even phase me, your care or concern. I was still shocked about the 180 you made from being romantic and loving to being a total asshole towards me.
I know it's just a dream. But I pulled it from my subconscious mind. I notice the significance, though. The reality of some of it. The truth in it. No, you're not an asshole, but your care and concern as a friend is overlooked because I'm still wondering wtf happened a month ago. 😔
You know those dudes that'll draw a girl in, telling her she has his love and does everything he can to get laid, and then he drops her like she is nothing to him after they get sexual? After he gets what he wants? It felt just like that.

[Story and Pictures in post] Grinding after the first gym in the second leg of my genlock, included are the survivors of the first leg and their new legacy forms in this leg.

A New Beginning

After the death of many Based was finally able to Retire, becoming resurrected in a small town to the far east of the Johto region: New Bark Town. She selected her brand new starter Pokémon: Cyndaquil, and named Him Crème Brule. After selecting her Pokémon she was set with yet another task of retrieving a package for the local Pokémon Professor: Elm. It took less than a day to travel to Mr. Pokémon's House after which Based tried to return to the lab as soon as possible, before she was stopped by a New face, but old name: Cringe. Based easily defeated Cringe and returned to Elms lab where she returned the Egg Parcel.

Our Journey Begins

Now setting off on her new Journey she made for Violet, where she would fight the gym leader. Along the way She discovered her PC box was full of eggs, 3 to be exact. She started carrying the eggs to see what Pokémon she could use to defeat the gym leader when they hatch. She caught a Spinarak, a Geodude, A Hootoot, and a Pidgey. She named all of them after food then returned to Violet Town. There the eggs all hatched revealing some old friends in their own, new, bodies.

Team Dynamics

Crème Brule: He is severely hyper and full of energy. Often running around the camp for the entire cooking time of any meal, and setting things on fire with his back. If only he could put that fiery personality to work during battle.
Peppermint: She likes to swim at any spot we get to, and at the places she can't, she chooses to sing instead. It's beautiful music, but it puts the rest of the team to sleep super often.
Cotton CANDY: She is a very aggressive Cleffa; I don't know if all Cleffa like to do this but she regularly sneaks up on wild Pokémon all by herself and pounds them over and over until they faint or I return her to her Poke Ball.
Sugar Cube: She tries to put a lot of emphasis on her Feminine Wiles. Often posing in Geodude fashion to try to get male Pokemon to be attracted like the move, but right now many of them mistake her for a male Geodude. Hopefully we can get a TM and teach her the move later.
CreepyCrawlies: named after an easy bake candy, Creepy likes to make webs to mark her territory. But she kind of marks things that aren't hers, which is annoying many of the other Pokémon on the team don't like her because she gets webs on say a seat or on another pokemon's food bowl they get mad at her. Right now she gets bullied fairly often by Cotton.
Yakitori: You could search for weeks and never find a more stressed our bird Pokémon. Yaki is always preening himself, trying to avoid dirt, and hesitates when attacking another Pokémon in battle. He almost lost the battle against Volkner because Pidgeotto's sand attack wigged him out. Luckily I was able to finish the job with Peppermint and Earn the badge.

This was a challenge to draw since I'm inexperienced with complex poses. I tried giving her a samurai hat, but I wasn't sure how to make it work. Also, I couldn't be bothered to add a proper background. I know a lot can be improved on, but I'm content with this.

Spoilers can potentially influence book sales as readers may be less inclined to purchase a book if crucial plot details are revealed prematurely. The allure of discovering the story firsthand and experiencing the twists and turns organically can be a significant factor in driving book sales. Therefore authors and publishers often employ strategies to protect against spoilers and preserve the excitement surrounding a book release.

2023.06.06 12:54 RegularLoquat9689 How Document Scanners Enhance Collaboration in Remote Work Environments

Remote working poses unique challenges to businesses when it comes to collaboration and communication. According to a study by Harvard Business Review, around 40% of managers need help to manage their remote workers effectively.
To overcome these challenges and foster successful collaboration in a remote work environment, businesses must implement strategies and methods that facilitate seamless communication and document sharing.
One such method is document scanning, which can greatly enhance collaboration among remote teams and employees. In this article, we will explore how document scanning can improve collaboration and streamline document sharing.

Efficient Communication and Collaboration with Document Scanning

Team collaboration is the cornerstone of any successful project. However, in a remote work scenario, where most meetings and interactions occur virtually, it can be challenging to share thoughts and ideas, especially in written form effectively.
However, with mobile or web document scanners, remote workers can quickly scan their handwritten notes or other physical documents and share them with their team in a matter of seconds.
This allows for feedback, suggestions, and incorporating others' thoughts through features like annotation, enabling seamless collaboration.

Streamlining Sharing of Drawings and Creative Ideas

Industries that rely heavily on drawings, such as fashion, architecture, etc., face a unique challenge in remote collaboration. Sharing drawings and creative work can be time-consuming, often requiring costly equipment or specialized software.
However, with a mobile or web document scanner, remote workers can use their mobile phones to scan their drawings and instantly share them with their team.
This eliminates the need for expensive equipment and simplifies collaboration on creative projects, making remote teamwork more efficient and productive.

Effortless Document Transportation and Approval Processes

Traditional paper-based document transportation systems are often complicated, slow, and inefficient, particularly in a remote work setup. Thus, sending a proposal to your boss through mail or courier and waiting for their response can take weeks.
However, the process becomes much faster and more efficient with a document scanning solution. By implementing a document scanning SDK, remote workers can scan documents quickly and easily and attach them to an email for instant transmission. This is useful when obtaining signed copies from supervisors for approval.
Simply scan the document, and send it to the concerned person for their signature. They can digitally sign the papers and confirm their approval. You can also create your own document scanning solution by using a reliable document scanning SDK. They help save valuable time, money, and effort, streamlining collaboration and approval processes in a remote work environment.

Creating Transparency and Improving Interdepartmental Communication

Lack of interdepartmental communication and collaboration can lead to errors and reduced productivity in any business. This issue becomes even more pronounced in a remote work environment. For instance, if team members share a file over email, it will create multiple versions of the same document. This leads to confusion and increases the chances of manual errors.
However, remote teams can create a transparent working environment by using a document scanning solution to scan documents and store them on the cloud. This allows all team members to simultaneously access important documents, make changes, track progress, and stay on the same page.

Ensuring Security in Document Sharing

Security is a critical consideration when collaborating remotely, as sensitive information and documents need to be protected from unauthorized access. A document scanning SDK that offers reliable data security plays a vital role in facilitating safe document sharing among remote teams.
Advanced security features, such as password-protected PDFs, encryption, and digital signatures, ensure that important documents remain private and secure throughout transmission.
This significantly reduces the risk of document loss or unwanted access, enhancing collaboration while maintaining data security.

Conclusion

In a remote work environment, effective collaboration and communication are key to the success of any team or project. Document scanners provide a valuable solution to overcome the challenges associated with remote collaboration. For instance, web document scanners enable remote workers to instantly share handwritten notes, drawings, and other documents, fostering seamless collaboration and the enhancement of ideas.
Furthermore, document scanners ensure the security of sensitive information through advanced scanning features.

White's responses
White has multiple choices here which can lead to very different games.
Most popular responses

1. Bc4 (Open Game) And so we reach the Italian Game. White takes aim at Black's weak f7 Pawn. (Lichess analysis) (Wikibooks) (179027680 games)
1. Bb5 (3. Bb5 - Ruy Lopez) The essential move marking the Ruy Lopez, or Spanish Game. "It is the double king's pawn opening most commonly used in master play; it has been adopted by almost all players at some point in their careers and many play it from both the White and Black sides." White threatens to trade off Black's c6-knight, leaving the e5-pawn undefended. (Lichess analysis) (Wikibooks) (94166173 games)
1. d4 (Scotch Game) This aggressive move practically forces Black to play 3...exd4 which releases central tension very early. This should lead to a very open game with a lot of space for both players. (Lichess analysis) (Wikibooks) (70832504 games)
1. Nc3 (Three Knights Game) Black can copy White's moves with 3...Nf6, leading to a very quiet game. Other alternatives include bishop moves : It's also possible to play 3...g6. (Lichess analysis) (Wikibooks) (57763747 games)
1. c3 (Ponziani Opening) The Ponziani is one of the oldest openings. Its plan is to support a later d4, and set several traps for unwitting opponents, but it doesn't pose much of a problem for the defence if black knows the lines. (Lichess analysis) (Wikibooks) (13445838 games)

2023.06.06 11:32 lightingnations I've had a fursona named 'Darkwind Summerpaws' for about a year now. Lately he's been letting his intrusive thoughts win, and I can barely sleep at night...

None of this is gonna make much sense if you’re not familiar with the concept of a furry, so here’s a quick summary:
A furry is an enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics, in particular a person who dresses up in costume as such a character or uses one as an avatar online.
With that out of the way, let’s get on with the story…
Last year, my boss sent me to Vegas for the CES tech conference and—inadvertently—booked me into the Bellagio the same weekend it hosted FURCATION. After checking-in, still drowsy from the 10-hour flight, I stepped onto the elevator just as two men dressed in full-body wolf costumes stepped out.
My pulse got set racing.
Despite the jetlag, I dumped my suitcase in the room, hurried back downstairs, and followed more furries into a convention hall crammed with anthropomorphic animal characters of all shapes and sizes: tall, short, ginger, grey.
Friends, for the first time in my thirty-two years on this earth, I was alive. Truly alive. I didn’t even realize I’d missed the ‘Bold Solutions for a Changing world’ keynote speech until the Bellagio staff started stacking up chairs, long after midnight.
Back home, I supressed this newly discovered part of myself. My engagement with the community remained confined to browsing fan art and the occasional Discord roleplay, all while my wife was asleep. But little by little, Andrew McCann receded into the gloom, and my fursona, Darkwind Summerpaws, stepped into the light.
To her eternal credit, my wife made every effort to accommodate this new lifestyle. But finding me—or, more specifically, Darkwind—in bed with another woman—again, a fursona—all but pushed her out the door, leaving me in the small house with a big mortgage.
At first, I sought comfort within the community. I neglected my family, my friends, and yes, even my health. Empty whiskey bottles piled up around the lounge while the written warnings piled up at work.
However, this was merely background noise. A hiss of static. Because Darkwind dogged my every step, unshakable. Unstoppable.
Yet still I felt constrained. Like a caged beast. I wanted more more more. Complete and total immersion.
Unfortunately, even my furiends couldn’t placate these inexhaustible appetites, and any complaints about their lack of furmitment fell on deaf ears. After a group member broke character mid-session by removing her mask because of a measly asthma attack, I got ousted from the group over my ‘volatile’ reaction.
This plunged me into a deep depression. Stuck without a release, I ended my engagement with the furmunity. Poor Darkwind got crammed into an old hamper and stuffed inside the attic.
Over the next six weeks, without my outlet, I became a balloon inflated to bursting point. Would this deep longing simply swell and swell until I popped?
But then, at the post office, a bulletin board flyer caught my attention. It said:
Attention all wolfkin! Are you struggling? Feeling alone? Does nobody understand your pain? Don’t fret! Join a group of like-minded individuals as we explore ways to celebrate our primal urges.
For more information, call Jacob on XXXXXX.
These folks sure sounded serious about roleplay. Finally, a place where I could unleash my true self.
Over the phone, Jacob gave me the details. Their clan gathered once a month, and wouldn’t you know it, their next meeting was scheduled for later that very same day, just before sundown. The leader passed on the location and said they couldn’t wait for “a new member to join the pack.”
Following his directions, I drove West out of town and along a dirt trail that broke from the highway,. It spat me out in a remote clearing in the middle of the forest.
Beyond the wall of trees, a grassy mound sloped upward. Pinched between the boughs there was a flickering, orange light.
A small group, twenty or so members strong, sat around a firepit on downed logs, not a fursuit in sight. My heart sunk.
There was no reason to panic, though. Not yet. Maybe, just maybe, rather than break immersion once the fun began, they gathered out of costume for refreshments? Either way, I’d travelled too far to turn back now, so I slipped off my costume, folded it into my pack, and then pushed through a nestle of ferns.
Several individuals roasted marshmallows while others conversed in groups of two or three. One man even strummed a soulful rendition of Moonage Daydream on an acoustic guitar.
“Andrew, I presume?” said a deep voice from behind me.
The first thing I noticed about Jacob was his immense height; he stood nearly seven feet tall, and thicker than a barge pole. “We spoke on the phone.” My hand looked like a child’s encased within his, and that powerful grip was tighter like vice.
“You’ve arrived just in time, we’re about to get started.” He guided me forward by placing a hand against the small of my back. “So, is this your first time?”
“Oh no, I’ve been to tons of these things.”
Those green eyes cut a quizzical glance in my direction. “Really? What clans?”
Clan? Did he mean convention? “Well, there was DragonCon over the summer. And last month I flew down to Furry Fiesta.”
“I’ve never heard of—”
An approaching elderly lady said, “Sorry to interrupt Jacob, but we should really get started.” She jabbed a thumb at the sky, barely visible above the canopy. The chief acknowledged her with a nod.
“Glad to have you with us,” he said to me, and then went and stood before the campfire.
“Good evening, everyone,” he said, drowning out the gentle murmur.
A chorus of, “Good evening, Jacob,” went up.
“I hope everybody’s doing well. I’m delighted to see such a great turn out tonight. Now before we get started, I have a couple of announcements. First, congratulations to Paul”—he gestured at a red-haired man in a denim jacket—“and his wife Donna on the birth of their first child, Damian.”
The group applauded as the new father received several hearty pats on the back.
Once the fanfare tapered off, Jacob added, “Paul told me the new baby has been a blessing…paternity leave means he’s been able to sneak in a few long sessions on the PlayStation while Donna does all the work.”
He waited until the chuckles died off. “And secondly, can everyone please give a warm welcome to Andrew.” He nodded in my direction. “Tonight’s Andrew’s first time with the clan, so I want to see plenty of butt sniffing.”
I laughed, realized nobody else joined in, and then cleared my throat and stared at the ground.
“So let’s make sure—”
“It’s starting.” The elderly lady interrupted, pointing at the sky. High above us, the full moon drifted out from behind a wisp of cloud.
Jacob said, “Here we go everyone, get ready.”
Around me, belts were unhitched, shirts unbuttoned. Finally! Delighted we could now change into our fursuits, I grabbed mine from my pack, stepped into the leg holes, and shimmied it up past my ankles, over the shoulders.
As I hopped around on one foot, negoating the suit on, Jacob shouted, “Andrew, what the hell are you doing? You’re gonna tear right through that thing.”
I paused and looked up.
Bare flesh surrounded me on all sides; large and thin, male and female. Everybody was naked except me.
Before I could ask what was going on, all that exposed skin got illuminated by a stray beam of moonlight that pierced the canopy, bright and shining.
Jacob coughed harshly, a desperate growl, while others snarled. Beside me, the elderly lady contorted her limbs, her head jerking from side to side. She moved in an awkward, staggered manner, almost despite herself. Was this a stroke?
Her neck arced forward, her top half bending at an extreme angle until she dropped onto all fours. Her chest and arms expanded rapidly as coarse, grey hairs grew all over her body. Her ribcage got teased to breaking point, her face now hideously elongated, capped by a long snout. Bones cracked in her hands as the nails shot out and became long, curved claws, same with her feet.
Paralyzed by fear, I could only look on, my feet rooted to the tangled ground. Snarls and barks went up around me. I ripped my eyes away from the lady and saw more limbs swell while knotted hairs engulfed every inch of skin. Mouths snapped open and closed, each now crammed with razor-sharp teeth.
My heart pounded so violently it almost made me pass out.
At last, the beast that had been a lady moments earlier threw its head back and howled. That lone voice soon became a symphony. Then, one by one, the creature’s turned their attention towards me. The only human within in the vicinity.
With my wolf mask tucked under my arm, I backstepped on unsteady legs, my free hand raised in a submissive gesture. Nice and slow, no sudden movements or startling noises. Countless wildlife documentaries taught me that’s how you survived those deadly encounters.
Out of nowhere, a black furred wolf snarled, which made David Attenborough’s calm voice completely melt out of my head. I spun on my heels and bolted off into the forest.
Low, criss-crossed branches sliced my legs and arms as I barrelled along, all but blind. In the narrow gaps between skeletal trunks, bestial blurs cut through the shadows, appearing and disappearing amidst the thick undergrowth.
Just as I reached the slope, half-running half-falling, a cavernous mouth filled with sharp teeth burst from the gloom, on a collision course with my throat.
Without meaning to, I stepped into the loop of an exposed tree root, bent my right leg at a painful angle, and performed an unplanned somersault.
As my back collided with the ground, hard, all air fled my lungs. The head of my fursuit fell alongside me.
A ferocious werewolf whizzed by overhead, snapping at my skull on its way past, and then collided with another that had mounted a surprise attack from behind.
Still dazed, I stagged to my feet while the two beasts righted themselves and then growled at one another, fangs beared.
Blood dripped from a deep cut beneath my chin and a labyrinth of gashes along my forearms. It was like ringing the dinner bell. Soon bright eyes emerged from the gloom and surrounded me on every side.
Werewolves circled my position, drawing closer with every rotation, gradually strangling any hope of escape until I had only a few metres of space to move around in. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
But then a roar cut through the forest, so low and so resonate that the ground itself shook. Those other werewolves lowered their heads, their ears pinned back.
Silhouetted against the moonlight, a single wolf—almost double the height of the rest with intense green eyes—stepped forward. Unlike the others, this one carried itself with unquestionable authority.
I choked out a feeble, “Jacob?”
Six slow strides brought the leader so close that its repulsive carrion breaths blasted my face in hot waves. Thick, white foam dripped from blackened gums, getting gobbled up by the dry, hungry dirt. Whichever direction I looked more wolves stood ready to feast on my grizzled remains, to do battle over the leftovers. This was the end.
But there, by my feet, lay the wolf mask. Out of nowhere a strange calm filled my veins. My inhales became steady. Controlled. And suddenly I knew what I needed to do.
With my free hand facing outward, I reached forward and picked up the mask. Although Jacob growled, he did not attack. Not yet.
In one smooth motion, I slipped the wolf head on. Goodbye Andrew McCann, hello Darkwind Summerpaws.
Jacob’s jaw opened and his back arched up, ready to pounce. Before the attack came, however, I growled. It sounded raw and visceral, issued from a place deep inside me. A place I didn’t even realize existed.
My aggressor and I stood nose to nose, face to face, man to man. No, scratch that last one—wolf to wolf.
Jacob hesitated. As I snarled again, tendons in my jaw creaked. I dropped onto all fours and pressed my shoulder blades together as though pinching an apple between them. For good measure, I even belted out another growl, so fierce my vocal cords became vibrating guitar strings tuned too far.
At first, Jacob only stared. Then, slowly, his head lowered, and he fell into line with the group, whimpering.
For a moment, the wolves only stared. Guided by pure instinct, I threw my head back and howled. Jacob followed, then the others, and within seconds the pack sang in perfect harmony. Afterwards, they all looked on, awaiting my next move.
In a playful manner, I rolled onto my back and kicked both legs in the air. Straight away the group rushed forward to lick my face and sniff my crotch, the tension now gone.
Back at the campsite, some wolves slept, others ate, and several fornicated. It wasn’t entirely dissimilar to the after-parties at a regular convention. And once the festivities ended and the group became exhausted, we curled up by the fire and slept in one giant mound.
I woke surrounded by a ring of human flesh, the sun creeping over the horizon. I sat up and ripped off my mask.
Jacob stepped forward, crouched low, and then offered me his hand.
He hauled me up by the arm, turned to face the group, and said, “Three cheers for Andrew, the new leader of the clan!”
The guild whooped and cheered and punched the air. Two burly men, still bollock naked, even grabbed me by the waist and hoisted me up onto their shoulders for a victory lap.
And at that moment, as I basked in their adulation, I knew my life had changed forever. I no longer needed to squander my wages flying to conventions and commissioning personalized fan art in a futile attempt to satisfy my desires. That was a world I could leave behind. Forever.
But don’t fret my friends. Because my journey into furdom wasn’t coming to an end. Oh no.
It was just getting started…

2023.06.06 11:10 Plane_Science6852 how do you tell if anatomy is right in art

i’ve been trying to improve at anatomy and poses for a few months, but I can literally never tell when I’m doing it wrong for some reason lol. If I’ve done the anatomy wrong, I only notice when I draw something similar and realise that the other looked completely off, then it makes me hate the original one and it kinda just feels like a waste of time 😭 can someone give me any tips or advice 🙏🏻

INFORMATION
I've been wanting to do a plot where Kaveh doesn't have enough money to pay Alhaitham back and would have to make it up somehow! ( You know where this is going c; ) I prefer Alhaitham being the bottom and Kaveh being the top, but I honestly so not mind as much as I see them both as switches.
That said, I would like it if I were to play the "submissive" of the relationship, otherwise known as the one who takes the d. I know this is a huge deal breaker for some people, but I promise to try and compensate by delivering great quality writing the best of my abilities and offer steamy hot scenarios on the way as well! I only really top when I am in the mood or if I'm comfortable enough with people, so I'd say I'm a submissive-leaning switch! I am also willing to do some story building and have side-ships.. but I mainly want Kavetham to be the focus on this one. I am open to doubling up for your ship of course!
I think I'm more experienced playing Kaveh than I am with Alhaitham ( his big words scare me 🥶 ) but I am open to playing the latter based from your preference. Despite how genuinely intimidating Alhaitham is to roleplay, I'll definitely be more than wiling to play him against Kaveh!

Don't be afraid to ask! ( The password is Strawberry Kaveh <3 )
OTHERS I ONLY roleplay on discord and please approach me with an example of your writing style, your name/pronouns/timezone, your kinks, what you can offer. Longer and detailed introductions, the better! <3

2023.06.06 10:40 astroplayer 42 [M4R] Belgium, online friends

I have family and friends but sometimes miss that excitement of having a message from someone cool or special. I'm looking for someone with similar interests.

My taste in movies is mostly science fiction. But I do like weird art and cult movies as well. (There aren't many series that keep me interested.) Some of my favorite movies are Interstellar, The Matrix, and Reservoir Dogs. I'm planning to see the new Spider-Verse and Guardians of the Galaxy this week.
I like electronic music, but also open to rock and pop music. Some of my favorite bands are The Beastie Boys and Daft Punk. I mostly listen to EDM, hiphop and triphop. And I have tried to produce some tracks of my own.
I have a big interest in art and culture. I like going to an expo or museum. I wish I could draw, so I'm trying to learn it on my own. I also experiment with AI art, and I'm working on a graphic novel.
I'm a bit of a geek so I'm also passionate about science and technology.
There is nothing better than spending time between trees and water. I like going for a walk and spending time with my family there.
For the past 5 years, I have been working in communication. And I also freelance on the side mostly in web development. But let's not talk about work too much.
I'm a bit of an introvert and I like being on my own. So it makes it harder to open up sometimes.
I hate talking on the phone but don't mind anything else. Let's start with messaging.
I speak Dutch and English.
My picture.

What I'm looking for? I don't really know. I have a few male friends that I've known since high school. But we don't get to hang out that often anymore. So maybe a friend that can share cool stuff and funny jokes, that would be awesome.
But I'll be honest. I often find myself more at ease with a female friend. So that would be great too. It doesn't have to be anything flirty, but I have an open mind, so if that would happen, it would be okay.
Let me know if you want to connect. Oh, it is my birthday today (for real). I'm turning 42. I usually don't spend much attention on it. But let that inspire you to start the conversation. :)

2023.06.06 10:29 abc-animal514 First-time fish owner with guppies (my story).

If you're a first-time fish owner, it may not be the best idea to start with guppies, unless you're prepared. The guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is a very popular aquarium fish species. They are part of the Poeciliidae family, along with mollies, platies, and swordtails, and they are livebearers. Guppies, like sharks, give birth to live young, with females generally being larger.
When I turned 13, I received a 6.8-gallon fish tank as a birthday gift. Excitedly, I purchased four guppies—two males and two females. I named the males Cioppino, inspired by an Italian seafood dish, and Cosmo, due to his star-like scales. The females were named Ponyo, after a Studio Ghibli character, and Lily, because it suited her well. However, I soon discovered that guppies had hearty appetites and produced a significant amount of waste, requiring frequent cleaning. To my surprise, the guppies began reproducing rapidly. Lily has started giving birth to babies, as guppies have a gestation period of only about 20 days. I was aware that guppies could be cannibalistic, and Cosmo would eat the young. So my mom and I put together a temporary nursery out of a vase with some rocks and a flower decoration. The six fry we had saved lived in this vase, but it was quite a challenge, especially during December, for the vase had no heating. But a few days later, Cosmo committed suicide by jumping out of the tank through the feeding hatch and onto the floor in the middle of the night. Determined to provide better living conditions, I upgraded to a 10-gallon tank for the adults and a smaller 5-gallon tank for the fry. As Ponyo became pregnant, I moved her to the smaller tank, and she soon gave birth to over 20 babies. With so many babies, I didn’t bother in trying to carefully name them all individually. Instead, I used sushi menu items as names (ironically) and added a few with simple names like Carl and Lily II. I eventually reintegrated the fry into the larger tank once they were large enough to join their parents. Fortunately, the male, Cioppino, was not cannibalistic, and the other fish didn't harm the new babies born in the large tank. Although there were occasional mishaps with fry getting caught in the filter, their small size allowed them to cycle through safely. Over time, one of the fry, named Fred, grew enough to join the adults in the large tank. Surprisingly, it turned out that Fred was a female, and another fish named Lily III was a male. They began having babies of their own, while the original adult fish eventually passed away due to natural aging. The babies took over the tank, but their increasing numbers posed challenges, as they produced larger waste messes and some of the smaller ones got caught in the filter and couldn't escape. Unfortunately, during a tank maintenance attempt by my mom, all of them died, likely due to mercury poisoning or an accidental pH change. After the guppy dynasty, we decided not to keep guppies again. Instead, I later kept a blue and yellow betta fish named Sparty in the small tank. Sadly, his beautiful tail was torn off by the filter, and he spent most of his short life lethargic. Since then, I've opted for tetras as they are easier to manage, and you can keep them in schools, and can buy different breeds that you can still keep together.
If you're a first-time fish owner, I wouldn't recommend starting with guppies. And if you do choose guppies, I suggest getting only one gender, preferably males. They are not only visually appealing but also decrease the chances of having babies in the tank, as female fish can still reproduce through parthenogenesis.
And getting a cleaning snail is worth it.

2023.06.06 09:55 SlicedGameStudios Weight Paint Help

Hello everyone!
I was making armor to animate my character for a game. However after using the "Automatic Weights" feature some parts of the mesh didn't move with the rest of the body. I saw that to solve it I had to use Weight paint. However, as you can see from the photo, the 3d model of my character is quite complicated because it has external but also internal elements. Sooo I don't want to do this thing for every bone... I would like to simplify this process. Does anyone know how to help me???

2023.06.06 08:26 ArchivalQuill41 [OC] I found the Athletes Photo by Howard Schatz and since I want to get more familiar with different body types and get in the habit of drawing everyday, I decided to create characters with backstories using their poses. NOTE I did trace, but this was just for a fun exercise.
