Since some of y'all were asking, here's a visual guide on how I set up multiple windows in CSP EX. I keep it to a minimum of three.

Window 1: The main area I zoom in and zoom out of when drawing.

Window 2: Flipped full view of the drawing. Allows to do fixes to any "flip the canvas" errors.

Window 3: The unflipped full view of the image and it's also used for refs.

yeah my first reaction was like "this would've fucking rocked" but then i realized that there is no way in hell a modern AAA studio anywhere in the world would treat a story about Reconstruction or the Civil War with anything but sloppy bothsidesism

i was literally just saying, it's depressing as shit realizing that OpenAI basically told Disney "fight me" re: using feeding their copyrighted content to their AI and there's a nonzero chance Disney will smile and lick their shoes instead just for a shot at having an Infinite Marvel Movie Machine

I also think there's no point being scared that a piece of art you make might stoke controversy in america when american media frequently shits out thoughtless AI-generated bigotry through its mainstream media channels

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

There is an anime that appears to be about a noble lady in a fantasy setting punching people who richly deserve it this season and it is neat so far.

The Fallen London Arcana.

(Very) Soon.

A tarot card entitled The Chariot, depicting a large bat in silhouette, flying over a London skyline against teal water and a teal sky. It is balanced against a leatherbound book.

The COO of bluesky, Rose, is following the heritage foundation account on bluesky.

Soyweiser @soyweiser.bsky.social · 8h

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

The "follow" button confounds "I'm looking at your content" and "I endorse this content." We need two different ways to signal the difference between the two.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

i wish i could remember! i'm pretty sure i read about it here on bsky, or perhaps it was *shudder* Twitter back in the mists of history

Ryusui @theryusui.bsky.social · 2h

it wasn't the first time we went there; the World of Darkness raid all the way back in A Realm Reborn also took place there

they actually went back and added the purple explosion effect during the Endwalker patch cycle, for consistency's sake

Ryusui @theryusui.bsky.social · 2h

there's a neat thing in the post-Endwalker story in FFXIV where we visit the Thirteenth, and because the cycle of life and death is fucked up there, defeated enemies dissipate in a unique purple explosion

they can't be killed for good; they either eventually reconstitute or get consumed by others

AAAAUGH! The lithops is doing a thing! I was not informed that lithops did things! I thought they just sat there and occasionally sprouted pups like a normal succulent!

A lithops plant in a small terracotta pot, producing a green flower bud thingy.

my personal bugaboo was "but you're still hungry" -> "but you're still just as hungry as before"

i do appreciate that they kept Woolsey's names intact; i can only describe the initials of "Mash," "Bash," and "Gash" lining up with those of the biblical Three Wise Men as absolute fucking serendipity

i swear to god i never even played Revelations: Persona, only the PSP version, and I quit P2: Eternal Punishment when it turned out they stuck with the Revelations names even though everything else stayed Japanese, but for some ungodly reason i still think "Nate Nanjo"

there is a STORY there and it comes out to "they fucked up the name on the merch and the company in question is really fucking anal about consistency so they forced consistency with the fucked up name rather than let the Western loc fix it"

I'd like to expand on this for an article on my site, so if you have any examples of "imprinting" situations in fandoms, please let me know

Some quick examples include FF4, FF6, Trails in the Sky, what else?
