Thank you so much! ^^
Pixel art has very different techniques to other art but I still spent lot of time tweaking the proportions and line gradients pixel by pixel. Gen 2 pokemon sprites are an other impressive example what you can do with just 4 colors and 56x56 sprite.

I decided to spend a day debugging linux boot failure, which I found to be caused by the Nvidia driver.

I got most hours in pokemon silver and blue. I have played only Gen 1-5 but still like the gen 2 and its sprites.
It amazes me how much the devs were able to get out of gameboy hardware.

I forgot to mention that the video shows 5pp for Venom Bite, but decided to change it since to more closely match thunder.
Old: 5pp 120 power, 85% accuracy, 33% chance to poison
New: 10pp 120 power, 70% accuracy, 30% chance to poison

I decided to lower the accuracy because poison status already deals 1/8th the damage each turn and Fire blast which accuracy is 85% has only 10% effect chance. The lower accuracy then balanced by the power point increase.

Comparison to gen 2 moves:
Fire blast: 5 pp, 120 power, 85% acc, 10% effect
Hydro pump: 5 pp, 120 power, 80% acc, --% effect
Thunder: 10 pp, 120 power, 70% acc, 30% effect

That’s what 65dos Taipei music video looks like, though that was released 2013 https://youtu.be/06ObT5yIIx8

I’ve been using lemmy almost a year now and it has been fairly smooth. But I still get logged out every time I refresh some community pages which is strange.

Thank you so much! <3

basically Komodo dragon + maned wolf = maned dragon

Thank you ^^ It’s not a dragon in traditional sense, but I might just do that!

It’s funny how caught up I got about fantasy etymology after reading couple weeks of taxonomy and zoology

Yea! That’s why it’s more useful to specify traditional, mythological or a certain type of a dragon that have become more popular in recent fantasy.

The dragon term doesn’t necessarily need a strict definition. It’s just my preference that having structure is better and then you can decide how to break the norms. Although, most of these new variants share the same name ‘dragon’.
I still see the evolution of the term fascinating even if it is becoming more generic.

I agree with the biological definition, “organism that can survive as an individual”. Even if the fetus has a parasitic relation, it is capable of developing all functions to fit the full definition.
There are other definitions of ‘life’ and anyone is free to believe either way, but the more subjective question is: When does the fetus become a person?

Same thing with alcohol prohibition. People are going to break the law, legal or not. The US is said to be the freedom land, but women can’t have autonomy over their bodies.
What I gathered is that 70% of the US congress is men, so it’s not their freedom that they sacrifice.  
Christian values are important to some voters, so politicians can gain free points by promising anti-abortion laws.  
The politicians who make such decisions think one term at a time and disregard the consequences as long as it doesn’t affect them. If they actually cared, they would also advocate for childcare benefits.

I just have it in muscle memory to know which way soda bottle cap tightens

I believe abortion is killing, but it only becomes murder by definition if abortion is outlawed. The literal definition is “the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.”
The fetus won’t have cerebral cortex till +12 weeks; no consciousness. So it wouldn’t be much different than killing a plant or bacteria. It’s debated when it becomes a human.
Yes, I justify murder as it will likely reduce the suffering. Thus, I am a monster in Christians eyes.

It looks bad for the advertisers to use strong words or take a stance.

That was a good watch, I can see binary view being at least part of the problem. I did think that religion might be part of the reason for some laws, but somehow didn’t realize how big. And the video had many other good points worth of the watch.

Thank you so much :3

It’s subjective and I prefer him being it’s own species now since I started reading about zoology.
In fictional world there’s no rules, but I liked the challenge thinking what species would it be if not a dragon or a hybrid, and based it on the real-life evolution.
