Fallen out of love with creativity, how do I decide where to take my career next? What industries should I consider?
2024.05.14 00:32 fivefingerfury Fallen out of love with creativity, how do I decide where to take my career next? What industries should I consider?
I'm 30 years old with a liberal arts degree from a top university (haha, I know). My motivations are changing and I want to move to a different industry, but I'm not sure where to start.
Up until now, I've always been driven by my desire to make a creative/artistic mark on the world. I worked as an expat in China for several years as a founding member of a major media start-up. I achieved a lot there as a journalist, producing interesting articles and documentaries about life and culture overseas. I drove much of the company's qualitative and quantitative success as a core team member, I loved my work, and I felt connected to my coworkers.
Then the pandemic came, and I got locked outside of China when the borders closed (I'm in Texas, where I don't have a car and I don't have a good professional network). I had to suddenly leave my job and all my possessions, and I entered the beginning of a terrible swing of uncertainty and internal change. I went from being the happiest guy I knew who aspired to greatness, to really being very sad and just wanting to get through each day. That went on for about two years, before eventually, I ended up returning to Asia to work at my old company.
However, when I returned, I had fallen out of love with the work. All the passion and love I'd felt for it had dried up to nothing, and it felt torturous to get up each day and write meaningless clickbait for the surging sea of Google-searchers.
Now I've left the company again, and I feel like I'm not following any path at all. I don't think I want to be a journalist or a writer anymore, the whole industry is in crisis. I'm also feeling more pessimistic about the state of art and creativity in general. While I have plenty of personal passions and interests like martial arts, writing, magic tricks, and adventure travel, none of them offer much in the way of a professional direction.
I don't need to be rich. I feel like I just need to get a job that has the best ratio of effort investment to financial return, so I can spend more time doing the things I enjoy. My liberal arts degree is obviously completely meaningless and my hard skills are limited. My soft skills and social skills are significant:
PROS - I produce excellent quality work which generates strong results (in my last job, this was measured in terms of traffic and views). I'm great in interviews. I'm a strong communicator. I'm good at creating rapport with others. I'm good with words and persuasion.
CONS - I don't have many specialized technical skills. It's hard for me to stay "locked in" for a full 9-5 work schedule. I don't feel any genuine attachment to work now, it's just a way to make money. I don't want to go above and beyond at work.
My question is, how should I go about finding a new industry, and does anyone have any tips for roles to consider? I just want to be paid for delivering a specific, predetermined product, not an endless stream of solutions and performative excitement. Since there's no longer any genuine interest or passion powering my search, I've found it difficult to generate momentum. It may sound silly, but it's a very new feeling for me.
I just feel tired of fighting for a life and a career that "genuinely" interests me, I think I'm ready to just resign myself to the slow monotony of a more standard career path. I want to "give up" while avoiding as much pain as possible, and I'm definitely open to leaving the United States again in order to do that (for instance, if there is a relatively painless work option where the pay is not high enough to continue living here. For example, a low-volume, commission-based sales role where I take a few calls per day would be perfect in that situation.)
TL;DR My success and strategy as a writejournalist/digital content strategist has always been driven by passion and my aspirations, and those things have now dried up for me. The only driver left is money, and I've had difficulty generating momentum in the job search since I have very little network here. What roles or industries could I consider given my background, and given that I'm no longer interested in working hard for the sake of the work itself?

2024.05.12 15:11 FuckHopeSignedMe The Nebula-class wasn't a smaller version of the Galaxy-class
One of the common assertions about the Nebula-class is that it was intended to be a smaller, more compact version of the Galaxy-class, much as the Miranda-class was for the Constitution-class. I have my issues with that assumption and here's why.
One: The Nebula-class isn't that much smaller than the Galaxy-class
The one big thing that would make the Galaxy-class bigger than the Nebula-class is that it has a substantial neck connecting its saucer to its engineering section while the Nebula doesn't. However, most of the internal space that neck provides would be largely made up for by the fact the Nebula-class has its modular superstructure and a small neck connecting it to its engineering section, if not entirely.
Even in terms of crew numbers, there isn't an insurmountable difference between the crew compliments of the two ships. During The Next Generation, the Enterprise-D regularly has around 1,014 people onboard, and Memory Alpha states that the Nebula-class's crew compliment is around 750.
A lot of my analysis in this regard depends heavily on what the number of civilians on the Enterprise-D were. I'm assuming that it'd probably be around 114. That'd make sense because 900 is a round number that could be evenly divided for both a three and four shift rotation. If there were three shifts, then there'd be around 300 Starfleet personnel on duty per shift, and if there were four shifts, there'd be 225.
It'd also make sense because it's known that not everyone on the Enterprise has family members onboard. This would generally track with how most of the people you see in the background shots of Ten Forward are wearing Starfleet uniforms. There also only seemed to be one or two classrooms, and the arboretum, which allowed some civilian workers, also seemed fairly small. This all would fit with a fairly small civilian population.
The other point here is that it's possible for a starship's crew compliment to vary widely during its service. The original NCC-1701 had a crew of 203 during Pike's era and of around 430 during Kirk's era. Those two points were only a decade or so apart. A century or so later, Voyager had a crew of around 150, despite the Intrepid-class being around the same size as the Constitution-class.
So while there is a moderate jump from a crew of 750 to around 900 officers, it's not an insurmountable jump. Depending on mission requirements and decade, either ship could have a larger crew compliment.
This is quite different from what we see with the Miranda-class. It's much smaller than the Constitution-class, both in terms of actual size and crew compliment. It was more or less just the saucer section and nacelles, which were the same size as the Constitution-class's, and the roll bar and superstructure. While the superstructure did make up for some of the internal space, it's quite clear that it wasn't of a comporable size to the Constitution-class's engineering section.
The size of its crew is also much smaller. By the mid-to-late 24th century, its crew compliment was down to just a few dozen. Some background sources will list the crew compliment in the late 23rd century to be around 220, which is much closer to what the Constitution-class's likely was in that time period.
I have my issues with this because it seems a bit dubious that Khan and his much diminished gang of Augments could overtake a crew of 220. However, this isn't completely out of the question as these people had previous experience overtaking a much larger crew. If the Reliant had a crew of around 220, it also could be that a large number of them were science officers on temporary assignment to the ship due to the Genesis project, and they might not have the training, experience, or temperament for fighting off an invading force.
Two: The *Nebula-class may have been introduced earlier than the Galaxy-class**
With the idea that the Miranda-class is a smaller version of the Constitution-class, one of the biggest pieces of evidence to support this is that the known Miranda-classes all had higher registry numbers than the known Constitution-classes. While the Constitution-class ships generally had registries in the 1000s and 1700s, the earliest known Miranda-class ships had registries in the 1800s.
This is backed up by the fact that the earliest known Miranda-class ships aren't known to have been in service until decades after the Constitution-class. The original NCC-1701 came into service in 2245. The Reliant, with its registry of NCC-1864, isn't known to have been in service until 2267--its registry was shown on a background screen in Court Martial.
So the common fan theory that the Miranda-class was intended to be a smaller counterpart to the Constitution-class makes sense given that it came out later. This isn't necessarily true of the Nebula-class, however. In fact, we see the opposite.
The Nebula-class with the lowest known registry is the Lexington, whose registry is NCC-30405. The eponymous USS Galaxy had a registry of NCC-70637. Even accounting for non-consecutive numbering, this would suggest that the earliest Galaxy-class ships are, on the whole, a more recent development than the most recent Nebula-class ships. For the most part, it does seem like Starfleet registry numbers do get higher as time goes on.
The idea that registry numbers are also indicative of batch numbers--e.g., that the Lexington might be ship number 5 of batch number 304 or that the Galaxy is ship number 37 of batch number 706--doesn't cover this, either. For one, even assuming that, the case still is that registry numbers still get higher as time goes on, so batch number 706 would still be a much more recent development than batch number 304.
For two, there's only a couple of Nebula-class ships that are known to have registries in the seventy thousands while almost all the Galaxy-class ships with known registries have them in the seventy thousands. So even if the batch theory is true--and there is canonical evidence to suggest it could be--most Galaxy-class ships do seem to be of later batches.
The other point along these lines is that the earliest known launch date of a Nebula-class is of the Phoenix, which was comissioned in 2363. This was only months before the launch of the Enterprise-D, which was comissioned in either late 2363 or early 2364.
So while the Miranda-class seemed to have been a later development than the Constitution-class and the earliest Miranda-class ships were likely comissioned a decade or more later, the canonical evidence suggests that the Nebula-class was either developed simultaneously to the Galaxy-class or perhaps even developed earlier.
Three: Slackjaw deflector dish
One of the distingushing features of the earliest known Nebula-class ships is that they have a slackjaw-shaped deflector dish. This is opposed to the circular shaped deflector dish that earlier classes such as the Excelsior- and Ambassador-classes had, and opposed to the oval shaped ones that later designs such as the Galaxy- and Intrepid-classes had.
This can be taken one of two ways. One, the Nebula-class was an earlier class, and while the oval-shaped deflectors were on the drawing boards but there was some technical issue preventing them from being rolled out in a new class straight away. In a case like this, the slackjaw deflector dish could have been intended as an intermediate step, integrating the aspects of the later oval deflector dishes that already worked while leaving the rest for the next major class.
The other way this could be taken is that maybe the Galaxy- and Nebula-classes were designed concurrently by separate design teams that cooperated on some design questions (which would explain the similarities in saucer and engineering sections) while competing in others. In a case like this, the slackjaw-shaped deflector dish could have been a result of the two design teams having differing opinions on whether or not it'd be superior to an oval one.
It does seem like the overwhelming consensus in practice was that the oval-shaped deflector was superior. The Nebula-class is the only class known to have had them. Even later variants of the Nebula-class switched to an oval-shaped deflector over the earlier slackjaw-shaped one. (The out of universe reason for this is because this was around the time DS9 was switching to using mostly CGI models for starships, and this is one of the design changes which occured at around that time.)
Personally, I tend to lean towards the former, because there are some other small details which seem to imply the Nebula-class was an earlier design. The top speed for a Nebula-class was around 9.3 to 9.5, depending on the variant. This is as opposed to the Galaxy-class's top speed of warp 9.6, and the Intrepid-class's top speed of warp 9.975. Given that, I think the slackjaw deflector dish should be taken as evidence as that this ship was meant to be an intermediate step between the Ambassador- and Galaxy-classes.
Four: Tactical and historical reasons why the Miranda-class was a minaturised version of the Constitution-class that don't apply to the Nebula- and Galaxy-classes
The most important thing to consider with the introduction of the Miranda-class is the strategic situation the Federation was in during the late 2250s and early 2260s. At this point, the Federation had just come out of a war with the Klingons with no clear victor that led to a decades-long stalemate and cold war. It had come out of a war with the Sheliak where it had to cede territory. In 2266, it was also contending with a Romulan Empire that was trying to reassert itself after a century of isolation, and soon after, a Klingon-Romulan alliance.
In short, the strategic situation at that point wasn't good. The Constitution-class may have made a difference in the Klingon War of 2256-7, and there were people in Starfleet who believed that at the time, but the voices that mattered were committed to keeping them on their five-year missions as much as possible.
So it made sense at that point to have a smaller version of the Constitution-class that carried a similar arsenal but had a much shorter range. This would have most of the benefits of the Constitution-class on a tactical level. The main drawback was that you might not use a Miranda-class for deep strikes behind the line the same way you could with a Constitution-class, but the main advantage was that they'd at least be there for the front lines instead of some god-knows-where system in deep space on a five-year mission.
This wasn't the strategic situation when the Galaxy- and Nebula-classes were being introduced. The Federation was in a strong strategic position at this point. While there was an ongoing border conflict with the Cardassians, it didn't seem to have the same do-or-die dynamic the Klingon War had a century earlier. There'd also been wars with the Tzenkethi and the Galen, but neither species seemed to have been regarded in the same light as the Federation's 23rd century adversaries.
While it is true that the Federation's relationship with the Cardassians resembled a cold war in late TNG and early DS9, that could be overstating the actual situation. Starfleet could have strategic superiority in the region if it really wanted to commit the ships to it.
The fact of the matter was that they didn't want to be seen as bullying a militarily weaker species. If Starfleet went in with 200 ships, they probably could take large chunks of Cardassian territory without issue, much like the Klingons would. However, this wouldn't gel easily with their propaganda line about wanting to be the peaceful great power, so they don't do it. Instead, they rely on slow ship build ups and political pressure by allying with the Bajorans and corunning Deep Space Nine.
So why would Starfleet start introducing smaller versions of the Galaxy-class at that point? It's not like there was a desperate strategic need for them. It wasn't until after Wolf 359 and the leadup to the Dominion War that Starfleet needed that kind of ship, and that's when they started building them en masse.
Five: So what was the Nebula-class for?
My answer to this question is simple: early on, the Nebula-class was meant as a stopgap counter to the Romulan's D'deridex-class warbird.
Based on what we know of when the Nebula-class first rolled out, it's at least feasible that it could have been in the late 2340s or early 2350s. This is early enough that it'd predate the Galaxy-class, but also late enough that later variants are being built alongside the new Galaxy-class ships.
It'd also line up with a feasible date for when the D'deridex-class was first introduced. In Yesterday's Enterprise, it's mentioned that the Ambassador-class had some advantages over the warbirds being used in 2344. It's not explicitly stated, but it is heavily implied that this means a previous class of warbird, not the D'deridex-class used in the 2360s.
So what may have happened is that soon after the battle at Narendra III, the Romulans started pumping out the D'deridex-class because they realise they don't have an edge on Starfleet anymore. Starfleet's response was the Nebula-class, which may not have been a close enough match to the D'deridex-class to actually win but was close enough that the Romulans would think carefully before attacking it.
Once the Galaxy-class came into service and was the class that was the 1:1 equivalent of the D'deridex-class, the Nebula-class could then be transferred to the Cardassian front. This could help explain why the Cardassians were ready to agree to a ceasefire to build up their forces along the border, but knew to be worried about the Phoenix in The Wounded: while the average Galor-class cruiser might be able to jump an Excelsior-class, they all knew they were outmatched by Starfleet's new fleet.
This could also explain why the Nebula-class had a couple of known early variants. A Nebula-class with a sensor pod superstructure could have an easier time detecting a cloaked D'deridex-class while one with the tactical pod could take the blunt stick approach and fire torpedoes directly ahead until they hit something.
The advantage a Galaxy-class might have on a Nebula-class is that maybe some of the equipment typically seen on a Nebula-class's sensor pod had been minutarised enough that it could just be a part of its regular equipment, while its weapons were more or less equal to the D'deridex-class's. So while the Nebula-class might have a fairly binary eitheor choice when it came to how it lined up against a D'deridex, the Galaxy-class could do both.
The reason for why they continued making later variants is fairly simple. Maybe there were certain adjustments they'd make to the superstructure that they were considering for new classes, but weren't entirely sure if they wanted to commit to yet. There was already precedent for this with the Nebula-class's slackjaw deflector which never quite caught on. The things that were added to the superstructure that worked could be put into later classes, while those that didn't could be taken out.
This could also help to explain the seeming discreptancies in the Nebula-class's registry numbers. Given that the Phoenix had a registry of NCC-65420, you'd expect for it to have been comissioned five or ten years before the Galaxy, not five or ten years later. Maybe the constant tinkering with the superstructures meant they could take longer to build, so even if they were assigned a certain registry they could still end up running behind schedule.
That would also make sense. Given that the Nova- and Saber-classes seem to have been first introduced after the Battle of Wolf 359, it could be that Starfleet had been planning to phase out the Oberth-class for a while. This would leave a gap in the fleet where a testbed ship for new technologies would fit (the Pegasus was reputedly a testbed for some systems later used on the Enterprise-D), and the Nebula-class could help fill that gap.
So while the Miranda-class was coming out when Starfleet needed a short range version of the Constitution-class, that wasn't really true of the Nebula-class. It was coming out when Starfleet needed a testbed class that could be the big stick before the big stick with a nail in it came out, but also that could continue to be a testbed for new technologies as time went on.

One: The Nebula-class isn't that much smaller than the Galaxy-class
The one big thing that would make the Galaxy-class bigger than the Nebula-class is that it has a substantial neck connecting its saucer to its engineering section while the Nebula doesn't. However, most of the internal space that neck provides would be largely made up for by the fact the Nebula-class has its modular superstructure and a small neck connecting it to its engineering section, if not entirely.
Even in terms of crew numbers, there isn't an insurmountable difference between the crew compliments of the two ships. During The Next Generation, the Enterprise-D regularly has around 1,014 people onboard, and Memory Alpha states that the Nebula-class's crew compliment is around 750.
A lot of my analysis in this regard depends heavily on what the number of civilians on the Enterprise-D were. I'm assuming that it'd probably be around 114. That'd make sense because 900 is a round number that could be evenly divided for both a three and four shift rotation. If there were three shifts, then there'd be around 300 Starfleet personnel on duty per shift, and if there were four shifts, there'd be 225.
It'd also make sense because it's known that not everyone on the Enterprise has family members onboard. This would generally track with how most of the people you see in the background shots of Ten Forward are wearing Starfleet uniforms. There also only seemed to be one or two classrooms, and the arboretum, which allowed some civilian workers, also seemed fairly small. This all would fit with a fairly small civilian population.
The other point here is that it's possible for a starship's crew compliment to vary widely during its service. The original NCC-1701 had a crew of 203 during Pike's era and of around 430 during Kirk's era. Those two points were only a decade or so apart. A century or so later, Voyager had a crew of around 150, despite the Intrepid-class being around the same size as the Constitution-class.
So while there is a moderate jump from a crew of 750 to around 900 officers, it's not an insurmountable jump. Depending on mission requirements and decade, either ship could have a larger crew compliment.
This is quite different from what we see with the Miranda-class. It's much smaller than the Constitution-class, both in terms of actual size and crew compliment. It was more or less just the saucer section and nacelles, which were the same size as the Constitution-class's, and the roll bar and superstructure. While the superstructure did make up for some of the internal space, it's quite clear that it wasn't of a comporable size to the Constitution-class's engineering section.
The size of its crew is also much smaller. By the mid-to-late 24th century, its crew compliment was down to just a few dozen. Some background sources will list the crew compliment in the late 23rd century to be around 220, which is much closer to what the Constitution-class's likely was in that time period.
I have my issues with this because it seems a bit dubious that Khan and his much diminished gang of Augments could overtake a crew of 220. However, this isn't completely out of the question as these people had previous experience overtaking a much larger crew. If the Reliant had a crew of around 220, it also could be that a large number of them were science officers on temporary assignment to the ship due to the Genesis project, and they might not have the training, experience, or temperament for fighting off an invading force.

2024.05.11 14:16 MarkedMatt Reasons why people are going into the Zone.
We need to remember that Zone has many residents, and not everyone goes there for the same reason.
"I was collecting bottles, one after another, and they led me here... Ha-ha! I'm kidding, man! Truth is, there was no place for me in that other world, it didn't want me. In the end, I came here... first to the Zone and then to Clear Sky. The guys here are alright, and I'm needed here. They come back after a mission, I pour them a drink, tell a few dirty jokes and my job is done - simple, but effective. By the way, they call me Cold around here."
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/DhqrJN.jpg
"The Zone enchanted me. I was just passing by, kind of like a tourist, and got hooked. The thing is, the people here are real, be they friend or foe. The danger, the feeling that death lurks behind every corner - that's what makes us city slickers feel alive! And I enjoy every minute of it." - Dialogue of Random Cordon Loner in Clear Sky
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/KC5fdN.jpg
"I listened to a bunch of fairytales about the Zone and was foolish enough to believe them. But, as I quickly learned, it's a lot different when you're on the inside. I turned out to be a softer cookie than I thought. Dying is easy here, and collecting artifacts is not. But what's really killing me is that there's not a peaceful spot in the whole damn Zone. Even when I fall asleep, half of me stays awake." - Another dialogue of Random Cordon Loner
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/n2PtFZ.jpg
"You mean what do I do in the Zone? I'm hiding from some nosy former pals of mine. Back on the outside they would go on and on with their questions and lectures on life... So we had an... altercation. I hope you're not here to start all that morality shit again, are you? No? Good, then just keep walking." - Dialogue of Random Garbage Bandit in Clear Sky
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/NtL572.jpg
"I was doing backstreet business back in the Soviet Union when I got caught on a major deal. I did my time like a man, made some good buddies and connections with the underworld crowd, and when I got out I started buying up goods from burglars. I got nicked again and did some more time, but when I got out the Soviet Union was dead and buried. I never managed to adjust to the changes - I was broke and living a shit life... but then the Zone appeared, and I bolted here right away. This place immediately reminded me of the good old days, so I became a trader without a second thought." - Dialogue of bandit trader Tooth
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/WaeYgA.jpg
"What do you mean, "someone like you" Sure, I didn't graduate from no damn academy but I've got the hands for this kind of work - I was the best specialist at my plant, with medals, commendations and all. I would celebrate that kinda stuff with my friends over some drinks until our boss reported us and we all got fired. That son of a bitch! That plant was real high-profile 'cause we were working for the defense industry. After that, I got a job as a technician at the local housing office. They always came to me if something happened 'cause I was the only pro around. Some people slipped me a little cash or poured me a good drink and things were sweet... until I had a little fight with a plumber over a bottle - it got a bit heated and I stabbed the bastard with a screwdriver. He lived, but I got a stretch in a penal colony, and by the time I got back my crib was empty - the wife left me... I got real depressed and got me a case of jimjams. I lost the house through pure stupidity and became homeless. That's when I made my way here. And you know what? They treat me right in this place 'cause I know what I'm doing. And I'm the same, sometimes I even accept a good bottle as payment for work... keep that in mind." - Dialogue of Limpid

"I'm looking for adventure in the Zone, and I get plenty of that here in the Dark Valley. I have the opportunity to do that thanks to Freedom, and I don't care how pompous that may sound." - Dialogue of Random Dark Valley Freedomer
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/SQMzO3.jpg
Dialogue of Freedom barman Ganja, while not directly stating the exact reason why Ganja came to the Zone, does says that it was a real negative story:
"You're not asking the right question, bro. You should be asking how Ganja the barman, Ganja the hookah man, Ganja, the man who partied with all sorts of friends in all sorts of places, ended up in the Zone. But I ain't answering that, bro. That's a negative story and I'm a positive kind of guy. I found myself here. That's the way the cookie crumbles. I was on my own and I felt cosmic loneliness, bro. Yeah, man, it was real bad. But then I felt positive vibrations...coming from Freedom. I knew they were my kind of people. I had a choice, but my doubts were gone. I found my freedom - now I live a better life than most people in that crazy world outside the Zone. Here I have enough to drink, enough to smoke, I have the Zone and people who share their stories about it with me...Damn, this local weed is just pure suckage!"
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/YJwrv7.jpg
"Me, I'm from a small town. Finished high school, served in the army. Got out - no jobs, no use going to college... Make a long story short, I got through the boot camp and landed right here. Actually, I served at the Cordon at first. Once a colonel of ours decided he needed a rare artifact to heal him up. Didn't like the idea of hiring stalkers, so our squad got the "job." The map they gave us was thirty friggin' years old. Those bastards... Less than a few hours in half our guys were already gone from anomalies. Then the dogs, then the bloodsuckers. Before the day was done it was just sarge and myself. Thank God we had our medkits, so we managed to crawl over to Duty's base. My leg got all hacked up - I was lucky to keep it after all that. Anyway, Duty folks put us back on our feet and showed us the way back. They're real men who live a good, simple life, and I've made a lot of friends during my stay. Anyway, soon as service was over, I grabbed my things and came right back into the Zone. I found Duty's base and asked to join, and hey, they took me in." - Dialogue of Kolobok
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/rbzkaU.jpg
"I'm just your average Joe, no different from anyone else. I've always been a rolling stone though. When I was ten I took off for China to study Shaolin martial arts. They took us off the freightliner three days later, and my dad gave me a real good thrashing. When I got older I spent all my time travelling - hitchhiked across Europe, spent a winter with chukchas. Then the Zone emerged. At the time I was friends with one girl Leska - also a thrill-seeker, like me. Well, she thought we were friends, though I felt a little different... Anyway, one day I was looking for Leska and some friends told me she'd gone to the Zone. Right away I get my things, grab a pistol with some rubber bullets and head straight here. I made it thanks to all my travelling experience. I spent months searching for her, carrying her photo and showing it to everybody. Finally a stalker told me some international troops apprehended Leska with some pretty boy near the Zone's border. Gave the two a lecture and sent them home. So, I thought, God bless you, Leska, God bless. I didn't go back home then. And now I'm just kind of stuck to the Zone." - Dialogue of Orest
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/fum7AJ.jpg
"I've always been drawn to new territories. I mean, I came to the Zone because I got tired of monotonous routine on the outside, and in these parts there are always secrets to uncover. The other thing is the cash. You need food and ammo, but you can only get coin for loot. I'm also hoping someone finds a way of getting past the Scorcher, 'cause as soon as they do I'll be the first one to the center of the Zone. I've only got one sacred wish - for the Zone to disappear." - Dialogue of Random Army Warehouses Loner
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/pTsN2A.jpg
"I wish I knew something old about it. We're mercenaries, buddy. We go into the Zone to complete a specific mission, and rely on careful planning and outstanding preparation to achieve our objectives." - Dialogue of Hog's merc(s)
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/Z5bkBI.jpg
"Bes's my name. I came to these parts three years ago. Like many of the guys in the Zone I'm a fugitive, wanted for two murders and GBH. A few years ago a friend of mine got battered pretty bad - they had to literally stitch him back together at the hospital. So I paid the bastards who did it a little "visit". When the coppers showed up I had to shoot one of them and jump out of a third-floor window - I've been here since. I've done well in this place but the list of my crimes has got a little longer too. I try to fight the lawless just as I did on the outside. I train up rookies and teach them to survive in the Zone." - Dialogue of Bes
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/pchRZm.jpg
"Where do I begin... I guess it goes back to high school. I had a good buddy, a best friend, if you will. We hung out together, smoking, drinking and whatnot. Only he wanted more and more thrills. He got into drugs: some weed at first, then smach and then coke, when he started getting some coin. I told him, "You gotta get off this shit, Tolyan, before it's too late." But he didn't listen. He scored some bad shit one day and that was that. I found his dealers and got even for my buddy... Got my picture took and all hell broke loose - the slammer, the gang fights, the shiv in the belly... Got out, started a business, got busted again... When I got out again, I left all that shit behind and set my sights on the Zone. Spent a couple months toughing it out, then got promoted. So now I'm in charge here, upholding the local law." - Dialogue of Sultan
Additional proof: https://snipboard.io/fL49Ce.jpg
"When I worked at the surgeon clinic, it was easy to cover up. There was always a surplus of donor blood to be had. But the Zone was different... I thought that this harsh environment would push my condition to the sidelines. But I was wrong. I experienced the most terrible explosion of all and just couldn't think of anything else. I decided to make the killings look like bloodsucker attacks. I usually picked targets that were already wounded." - Dialogue of Tremor

2024.05.11 04:12 CRF_kitty Extraordinary quilt at the Metropolitan Museum
Came across this piece on the Met’s website today and thought I’d share. There are a dozen high quality pics of it to peruse on their page. That’s lucky for us, because this piece is not on display.
When you zoom in you can still see basting stitches on the pieces. It measures 89 3/4 in. (228 cm) wide by 8 ft. 8 3/4 in. (266.1 cm) long, and is made of cotton fabrics dating from the 1790s to the 1820s. The quilt itself dates from 1820–1850.
Fussy Cutting = “motifs were cut from several patterns and juxtaposed for a controlled kaleidoscopic effect”
Here’s the full description: British. Patchwork quilting is usually associated with America, but it also has a tradition in Europe, particularly in Germany and England. The number of differently patterned printed cottons used in this quilt top, ranging in date from the 1790s to the 1820s, suggests that the maker had access to sample books or samples. Although such a wealth of fabrics offered a design opportunity, the small size of each sample could have been limiting. The maker, however, turned this challenge into a strength. For some of the hexagons, motifs were cut from several patterns and juxtaposed for a controlled kaleidoscopic effect; others were composed of different color combinations of the same design. In the outer guard borders, the tentlike shapes are each made of a different fabric; that may perhaps indicate the prevalent sample size. The large floral motifs and the central bird are executed in a different technique, "broderie perse," in which the forms are removed from larger pieces of glazed printed cotton and applied to the quilt top with crewel embroidery, which is also used for the flower stems. On the back of the quilt top, bits of old bills and correspondence appear in the hexagonal paper templates used as cutting guides.

-=[About us - Cliff notes]=-
Hi! I'm here to shamelessly plug an old phoenix rising from the ashes. How old you may ask? This old!
Why, back when the project originally started... hMod was still a thing, then died, and this new thing called Bukkit was all the rage...
Nominally it's an "RPG" server, in the Dungeons&Dragons sort of tradition rather than any hardcore "Roleplay" or major systems.
You'll find yourself as a member of a participation driven storyline that will fork and meander as world events unfold!
It's a slow-burn project. Hardcore playtime will not be a requirement for meaningful participation.
Just be willing to play a fun role in the grand scheme of the story~
The RPG system is in active development, but during that time we are hosting our "Free settlement period" event to grow the server population and allow story foundations to marinate!
There are generous royal land-grants available to early settlers who improve regions and create interesting builds.
This is a world that will grow organically, so I'm not trying to pre-build it all, come join the re-founding!
You'll find a server with a lot of old-school MC charm to it. We don't offer quite so polished an experience as other servers... But you'll find it to be one of the more organic servers without being full anarchy.
Ok, but what can I do on the server?
It's a server where you'll get out as much as you put in, and diversity of playstyle is welcomed, encouraged, and protected...
Do you just want to live an anarchist nomad's life in the wilds? There's a space for you here, but you'll have to defend what you can! You can level and improve your character to better protect yourself and your friends.
If you want to live a life of safety and protection, free from the vagrancy of nomad life, you'll have to participate in the economy and towns side of things... Stake your own claim or join an existing town as a part of the grand Empire of Liepaja.
Life can range from the humble farmer, and the mundane merchant, To the adventuring explorer or even a noble knight or lord of a realm of the empire! Your story is what YOU make of it in this world, nobody's here to tell you "You can't"
(Well, they might, but you can ignore and hide from them, or beat them!)
You'll join to find an ancient imperial land in a period that could be described as it's twilight... inhabited by people with old traditions going back many years, with a history years in the making, mostly by players who have long since moved on, but a few have stuck around to keep the old ways alive. That just leaves room for new adventurers to build new traditions, and weave new tales!
The events that take place will form the bleeding edge of the dormant (but once living) history from which this land draws it's legends. Will you become a part of that legend, or will you exist in the world as a commoner? Will the empire grow great, or fade away? Will the players build a new polity? You will collectively decide!
Build pictures to come when I'm feeling less lazy... Sorry y'all.
Rules
Details, for the interested.

[LORE FLUFF. FOR THE VERY INTERESTED]
You'll spawn into a small village in the heartland of an old empire... the empire of Liepaja... Established by an emperor long-gone, who left behind a legacy of laws which still bind the realm together. Ruled in regency by an imperial council consisting of the lords of the realm to act as the decision-making body...
Within Liepaja, the players and villagers live freely, and PvP is disabled. Outside it's borders, PvP is enabled, and players must defend themselves...
You'll find a land steeped in traditions, with lords and commoners, barons and counts, dukes and kings, even perhaps an emperor (if one could manage to claim the throne... It would be a first!)
The spawn in a village, at the seat of free Bun County, ruled by a lord who calls herself Rabbit, that is your starting place...
From there, you may travel freely and do as you see fit. Establish yourself in the empire or strike out beyond it's borders to make your own way. Only you can decide how you play!
The world so far: Two server-towns exist, and there are many villages in the empire region (lucky seed!). Ancient magic exists in the land but the art is lost (Runecraft, look it up~).
The mages and wizards of old have been cloistered of late, not sharing, but may soon reopen their schools.... (Magic is WIP, not done yet!)
Update post of Things to Come™: This server is in active development, but it's open while it's being built out. This allows players a chance to take part in the very foundation of the world.
The Magic system is actively WIP... But those of you familiar with the old art of Runecraft will find it ready to go if you know how to use it...
Magic will follow the usual trend of different schools out in the world, each with tracks to follow and skills to be found by questing and exploring. There's runic magic, and some more familiar castable magic schools to be had.
Quests and dungeons are on the horizon but require major time/effort on my part doing designs and laying down the development.

-=[About us - Cliff notes]=-
Hi! I'm here to shamelessly plug an old phoenix rising from the ashes. How old you may ask? This old!
Why, back when the project originally started... hMod was still a thing, then died, and this new thing called Bukkit was all the rage...
Nominally it's an "RPG" server, in the Dungeons&Dragons sort of tradition rather than any hardcore "Roleplay" or major systems.
You'll find yourself as a member of a participation driven storyline that will fork and meander as world events unfold!
It's a slow-burn project. Hardcore playtime will not be a requirement for meaningful participation.
Just be willing to play a fun role in the grand scheme of the story~
The RPG system is in active development, but during that time we are hosting our "Free settlement period" event to grow the server population and allow story foundations to marinate!
There are generous royal land-grants available to early settlers who improve regions and create interesting builds.
This is a world that will grow organically, so I'm not trying to pre-build it all, come join the re-founding!
You'll find a server with a lot of old-school MC charm to it. We don't offer quite so polished an experience as other servers... But you'll find it to be one of the more organic servers without being full anarchy.
Ok, but what can I do on the server?
It's a server where you'll get out as much as you put in, and diversity of playstyle is welcomed, encouraged, and protected...
Do you just want to live an anarchist nomad's life in the wilds? There's a space for you here, but you'll have to defend what you can! You can level and improve your character to better protect yourself and your friends.
If you want to live a life of safety and protection, free from the vagrancy of nomad life, you'll have to participate in the economy and towns side of things... Stake your own claim or join an existing town as a part of the grand Empire of Liepaja.
Life can range from the humble farmer, and the mundane merchant, To the adventuring explorer or even a noble knight or lord of a realm of the empire! Your story is what YOU make of it in this world, nobody's here to tell you "You can't"
(Well, they might, but you can ignore and hide from them, or beat them!)
You'll join to find an ancient imperial land in a period that could be described as it's twilight... inhabited by people with old traditions going back many years, with a history years in the making, mostly by players who have long since moved on, but a few have stuck around to keep the old ways alive. That just leaves room for new adventurers to build new traditions, and weave new tales!
The events that take place will form the bleeding edge of the dormant (but once living) history from which this land draws it's legends. Will you become a part of that legend, or will you exist in the world as a commoner? Will the empire grow great, or fade away? Will the players build a new polity? You will collectively decide!
Build pictures to come when I'm feeling less lazy... Sorry y'all.
Rules
- The staff are the gods of this world. Don't like it? Tough!
- You are free to protect your chests using sign lock plugins, failure to protect your chests is consent to be stolen from.
- You are able to protect your builds for an in-game price... No pay, no protection. Money convertable from diamond/gold/iron/coppeemerald at spawn.
- PVP is disabled within the empire, but outside the border it's a lawless wilderness.
- None of the server theming is a restriction on build or character theming. Build freely. Add to the whole.
Details, for the interested.

2024.05.08 21:37 AllUrMemes random crazy idea ('movement phase')
crazy idea that just came to me this morning, I typed this up to my friend on discord so sorry its in 2nd person:
We've talked about how we both feel like position/facing is crucial to tactical melee combat.
The big issue with this usually comes down to timing, right? Asynchronous, turn-based gameplay makes it really hard to make the nitty-gritty footwork work/feel right. There has to be reasons to prevent me from just running behind you and backstabbing you on my turn, and vice versa.
We can achieve this with stuff like:
Opportunity attacks/engagement/control/area denial- prevent/punish attacker for moving aggressively when engaged
Reactive movement/facing- allow defender to respond to certain movements, give them reactive movement resources to expend So what if we sorta got rid of this?
Basically, I'm thinking about using the "movement phase / action phase" dichotomy, but applying that to gridded melee combat with facing.
Movement phase: Going in order from slowest combatant to fastest (initiative), each combatant can make a movement. (Run- normal move + facing, Shift- special 'safe' move + facing, Face- change facing only).
There would probably need to be a very fast "opportunity attack" sort of mechanism to punish running, like how I now deal with what I call Snap Attacks ("snaps"). (Roll either the white Snap die or black Snap die depending on your weapon type [car border color]. No reactions/abilities can be played vs a Snap.)
A player has 10 seconds to make a move. (If they take too long, they just don't move this turn.)
Moving during the movement phase is 'free' in terms of resources. (You just get to Run/Shift/Face during the phase for free.)
Action phase: Going in reverse order- fastest to slowest- (so a serpentine/snake draft sorta thing; being fast is good)- each combatant can take action(s).
For bad guys (GM controlled enemies), this is just 'Attack if enemy is within range/facing/threat'.
For Heroes (players), this could be zero to a few actions, depending on their resources. (I'm thinking of keeping the WoS style cards for weapons and Stunts). So they might attack once or even twice, or just recover resources/save up for next round, prep for defense, etc.
Not sure exactly how the resource economy would work in terms of when you ready weapons/draw stunts. And maybe Heroes (and NPCs/boss baddies) would have some kind of movement resource sometimes allowing them to face or shift during this phase; i.e. an extra step).
No hard time limit during Action Phase, but still 'quick' tempo. Now, again this is just a random hairbrained idea. But it just occurred to me that the 'movement phase' thing might help fix that big timing issue. This is designed for typical fantasy/dungeon crawler PvE, so usually the baddies will be mooks who outnumber the Heroes.
Ergo it's not like a dueling game where you're trying to mimic the footwork of boxing/martial arts/fencing... rather it's a wargame where you're like "I'll send my goblins to attack the left flank while the orcs barrel ahead and create a battle line."
For the Heroes, the core gameplay is about picking your poison with who you're going to face, taking advantage of GM blunders/overaggression, prioritizing targets, using terrain/obstacles/allies to protect your flanks, and using special abilities/resources (a la my Stunts with an attack/defense ability + a movement) as efficiently as possible to try and fend off multiple attackers.
One of the issues I'm sure you're going to think of right away is the 'delay' strategy. Because the fastest (last to move) can always shift back and create space (at least in a 1v1) to keep the opponent from attacking them. Well, I've learned from WoS this is actually kinda easy to solve the problem... since Heroes have a "resource bank" and typical enemies do not, it is almost never advantageous for the GM/enemy to play chicken/delay.
Because if the enemy keeps stepping back, the Hero can just say okay, and sit tight til they recover all their resources, then go after the enemy with an onslaught of everything.
So that, plus the fact that it's the GM and they're an evil callous Overlord, means that their default strategy is always aggression. I also think that the "chicken" problem can be addressed by possibly giving Heroes some extra movement resources. Again, it's kinda like how in WoS the Armor cards (that have your movement) have better moves on the front (say Run 3, Shift, Face), but the back of the cards still have some movement usually (say Run 1, Face).
It gives them that extra step to help them do the things they want to do, and not be stymied by an inability to reach/face the enemy. And helps balance the usual numerical disadvantage.
Another random thing that might help address any weirdness/cheesing from delay tactics is playing with turn orders. It might be best to have team-based initiative (current WoS format), where the GM moves his guys, then the Heroes take their turns in order (have them sit in speed/initiative/marching order), again with ~10 second max to make up their mind.
Then in the Attack/Action Phase, the Heroes again take their turns in order (or reverse order), so basically right after they moved before the enemy has had a chance to move away. (Though there will probably be a 'Wheel' mechanic like I have now, where the enemies can reactively Face in response to a Run [but not a Shift]). I think this kinda turn order within the phases is the one real tricky part I gotta figure out now. The enemies might need a chance to at least face somewhere in there:
Orc moves, Hero moves to his flank, Hero attacks Orcs flank, Orc can't attack Hero because it doesnt face him. Though the Orc could Wheel if the Hero Ran, so it would just be like "don't end a move so the Hero is on your front corner [in 1v1] cus you'll get flanked and not be able to attack either."
Though, idk, that doesn't sound too terribly problematic, given it's a just a mild strategic blunder by an enemy mook. I'll definitely have to go workshop this idea and see if there needs to be like a certain phase order- GM Move, Hero Move, Hero Attack, GM Attack etc.
Or maybe there's like a bonus "facing" phase in between Move and Attack phases where everyone can turn 90 degrees.
That probably sounds like "well then why bother because you'll never get flanked" but basically this is not a 1v1-centric game, this is a game where you've got like 10 people fighting in a 6x6 room with furniture, so again it's less like my old WoS of "do I have the resources/can I trick my way to the enemy flank" and more like "you can pretty much always face one target, but it might open up your flank to a different enemy".

2024.05.08 18:59 kwestionmark5 What skills and resources should anarchists have?
I’ve been thinking a lot about prefigurative politics as it pertains to an anarchist skill set. What essential skills would you say any group of anarchists should possess to actually be able to operate independently of the state and capitalism? Particularly in the West, the move toward a service economy has greatly de-skilled us, making us more dependent on the state and corporations to meet our basic survival needs. I want to put together a website or guide that can help anarchists think more toward an autonomous future and give them ideas for skill share events. Can you help me put together a thorough list of the most important skills that can be held collectively (not expecting any individual to be good at most of these things)? I can't emphasize enough, I'm not looking for skills to drop out of society and create some utopian community, but rather skills that we would need for survival in the event of things like natural disasters, extended occupations, or collapse of a state.

so i remember a manwha i used to read where the protagonist was a woman who reincarnated into a martial arts world as the daughter of i think it was the equivalent of a duke or the generals daughter who had been disfigured by a girl she knew and replaced! eventually she fixes herself with medicinal plants and takes her place again! at some point the king/emperor does something and she ends up dethroning him and putting her father as the emperor! also she eventually gets a phoenix and the male lead had white hair and lead this “evil” faction! oh also there was a plot with her grandpa and this woman who was like an old love if his hadnt aged due to martial arts

Hi! I'm here to shamelessly plug an old phoenix rising from the ashes. How old you may ask? This old!
Why, back when the project originally started... hMod was still a thing, then died, and this new thing called Bukkit was all the rage...
Nominally it's an "RPG" server, in the Dungeons&Dragons sort of tradition rather than any hardcore "Roleplay" or major systems.
You'll find yourself as a member of a participation driven storyline that will fork and meander as events unfold! It's a slow-burn project. Hardcore playtime will not be a requirement for meaningful participation. Just be willing to play a fun role in the grand scheme of the story~
The RPG system is in active development, but during that time we are hosting our "Free settlement period" event to grow the server population!
There are generous royal land-grants available to early settlers who improve regions and create population centers.
This is a world that will grow organically, so I'm not trying to pre-build it all, come join the re-founding!
Ok, but what can I do on the server?
It's a server where you'll get out as much as you put in, and diversity of playstyle is welcomed, encouraged, and protected... We like good stories!
Do you just want to live an anarchist nomad's life in the wilds? There's a space for you here, but you'll have to defend what you can! You can level and improve your character to better protect yourself and your friends.
If you want to live a life of safety and protection, free from the vagrancy of nomad life, you'll have to participate in the economy and towns side of things... Stake your own claim or join an existing town as a part of the grand Empire of Liepaja.
Life can range from the humble farmer, and the mundane merchant, To the adventuring explorer or even a noble knight or lord of a realm of the empire! Your story is what YOU make of it in this world, nobody's here to tell you "You can't"
(Well, they might, but you can ignore and hide from them, or beat them!)
You'll join to find an ancient imperial land in a period that could be described as it's twilight... inhabited by people with old traditions going back many years, with a history years in the making, mostly by players who have long since moved on, but a few have stuck around to keep the old ways alive. That just leaves room for new adventurers to build new traditions, and weave new tales!
The events that take place will form the bleeding edge of the dormant (but once living) history from which this land draws it's legends. Will you become a part? Will the empire grow great, or fade away? Will the players build a new polity? You will decide!
Build pictures to come when I'm feeling less lazy... Sorry y'all.
Rules
Details, for the interested.
Server core: PaperMC (MC 1.9,.4)
Plugins:
Worldedit, Worldguard, EssentialsX, BlockLocker, CoreProtect, SignShop, SignShopHotel, MagicSpells, Runecraft, Bookshelf, mcMMO, Towny. Other libs (not player-facing)
[LORE FLUFF. FOR THE VERY INTERESTED]
You'll spawn into a small village in the heartland of an old empire... the empire of Liepaja... Established by an emperor long-gone, who left behind a legacy of laws which still bind the realm together. Ruled in regency by an imperial council consisting of the lords of the realm to act as the decision-making body...
Within Liepaja, the players and villagers live freely, and PvP is disabled. Outside it's borders, PvP is enabled, and players must defend themselves...
You'll find a land steeped in traditions, with lords and commoners, barons and counts, dukes and kings, even perhaps an emperor (if one could manage to claim the throne... It would be a first!)
The spawn in a village, at the seat of free Bun County, ruled by a lord who calls herself Rabbit, that is your starting place...
From there, you may travel freely and do as you see fit. Establish yourself in the empire, or strike out beyond it's borders to make your own way. Only you can decide how you play!
The world so far: Two server-towns exist, and there are many villages in the spawn region (lucky seed!). Ancient magic exists in the land but the art is lost (Runecraft, look it up~).
The mages and wizards of old have been cloistered of late, not sharing, but may soon reopen their schools.... (Magic is WIP, not done yet!)
Update post of Things to Come™: This server is in active development, but it's open while it's being built out. This allows players a chance to take part in the very foundation of the world.
The Magic system is actively WIP... But those of you familiar with the old art of Runecraft will find it ready to go if you know how to use it...
Magic will follow the usual trend of different schools out in the world, each with tracks to follow and skills to be found by questing and exploring. There's runic magic, and some more familiar castable magic schools to be had.
Quests and dungeons are on the horizon but require major time/effort on my part doing designs and laying down the development.

You'll spawn into a small village in the heartland of an old empire... the empire of Liepaja... Established by an emperor long-gone, who left behind a legacy of laws which still bind the realm together. Ruled in regency by an imperial council consisting of the lords of the realm to act as the decision-making body...
Within Liepaja, the players and villagers live freely, and PvP is disabled. Outside it's borders, PvP is enabled, and players must defend themselves...
You'll find a land steeped in traditions, with lords and commoners, barons and counts, dukes and kings, even perhaps an emperor (if one could manage to claim the throne... It would be a first!)
The spawn in a village, at the seat of free Bun County, ruled by a lord who calls herself Rabbit, that is your starting place...
From there, you may travel freely and do as you see fit. Establish yourself in the empire, or strike out beyond it's borders to make your own way. Only you can decide how you play!
The world so far: Two server-towns exist, and there are many villages in the spawn region (lucky seed!). Ancient magic exists in the land but the art is lost (Runecraft, look it up~).
The mages and wizards of old have been cloistered of late, not sharing, but may soon reopen their schools.... (Magic is WIP, not done yet!)
Update post of Things to Come™: This server is in active development, but it's open while it's being built out. This allows players a chance to take part in the very foundation of the world.
The Magic system is actively WIP... But those of you familiar with the old art of Runecraft will find it ready to go if you know how to use it...
Magic will follow the usual trend of different schools out in the world, each with tracks to follow and skills to be found by questing and exploring. There's runic magic, and some more familiar castable magic schools to be had.
Quests and dungeons are on the horizon but require major time/effort on my part doing designs and laying down the development.
2024.05.07 12:35 OldPyjama I think I met a younger clone of my INTP self
So I practice martial arts. Normally, it's divided in age groups as in adults have their own training hours, kids have different hours, etc.
On mondays however, older kids have the chance to train with the adults to see how it goes and there's this one 13 years old boy who reminds me of me when I was little: kind of skinny, not really the physical type but does well in martial arts class.
Anyway, I was talking about Duolingo and how I'm learning Spanish with a buddy and he joins the conversation telling us he's learning Italian because they're going to Croatia near the Italian border in Summer. Then he tells me "did you know Croatia is home to the most venomous snake in Europe?"
That's got to be the most INTP thing I've heard a kid say. I was exactly like that, sharing random knowledge. I asked him more about it and he was genuinely excited to tell me what he knew. Then I asked if he knew what the most venomous snake in the world was and explained it's the Inland Taipan in Australia. We started talking about the crazy animals over there and he showed me a Youtube channel of a wildlife enthusiast in Australia. Turns out this boy is interested in physics as well.
I felt like I had just met my younger self

2024.05.07 04:11 Oogalyboogalyer Benkei profile
 | Benkei submitted by Oogalyboogalyer to ShuumatsuNoValkyrie [link] [comments] Record of Ragnarok Profile: Saitō Benkei Titles/Aliases: 1. Strongest Monk In History 2. Master Of All Arms 3. Humanities Oni 4. Battousai of the Shugendo Race: Human Gender: Male Pantheon/Nationality: Japanese Age: 800+ Authority: Human Warrior Monk Appearance: Saitō Benkei commands attention with his towering stature, standing at an impressive height of 6 feet 7 inches. His muscular build speaks volumes of the countless battles he has weathered over the centuries. Tanned skin serves as a canvas for the stories etched in scars, while his long brown hair, interspersed with streaks of white, flows freely. Benkei's eyes, golden irises, exude an unwavering resolve and an insatiable hunger for combat. Clad in a white baggy shirt adorned with intricate silver gauntlets, he strikes an imposing figure, his presence commanding respect and awe. Personality: Benkei embodies a paradoxical blend of rebellion and honor, characterized by his rebellious spirit and unwavering commitment to justice. Despite his battle-hardened exterior, he adheres to a strict code of honor, refusing to compromise his principles for victory. Beneath his gruff demeanor lies a deeply compassionate soul, driven by a desire to protect the innocent and uphold righteousness. His journey is a testament to his resilience and determination, as he navigates the tumultuous waters of fate with unwavering courage and conviction. Backstory: Born into a Buddhist monastery, Benkei's path diverged from the ordained course at an early age, drawn to the call of the warrior's path. Banished for his defiance, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery, honing his martial skills and defending the weak. His travels brought him face to face with myriad challenges, each shaping him into the formidable warrior he is today. When he eventually returned home he came to find a group of bandits and warlords trying to conquer his village and holding the monks of his monastery hostage. This made Benkei furious and he slaughtered all of them. He was accepted back into the monastery but instead left to serve Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Fighting Style: Benkei's fighting style is a testament to his versatility and adaptability, blending the discipline of a monk with the ferocity of a seasoned warrior. Master of all arms, he wields an arsenal of weapons with unparalleled skill, seamlessly transitioning between strikes, grapples, and evasive maneuvers. His combat prowess is matched only by his unyielding resolve and unwavering dedication to his principles, making him a formidable adversary on the battlefield. Supernatural Power: Despite his lack of supernatural abilities, Benkei's mastery of martial arts and weaponry borders on the supernatural. His sheer physical strength and combat expertise allow him to face even the most formidable opponents with unwavering confidence and determination. His resilience and tenacity make him a force to be reckoned with, capable of overcoming any obstacle in his path through sheer force of will. Volund/Divine Weapon: Through a pact with the divine weapon Geirölul, Benkei gains access to the Armored Monk's Seven Arms, a Naginata blade that can transform into seven different weapons. Each weapon possesses unique properties and abilities, allowing Benkei to adapt to any combat situation with ease. However, the sixth arm holds no special powers, serving solely as a traditional weapon in Benkei's formidable arsenal. Named Techniques:
(To Brunhilde): “You don’t tell me where or how I fight!” (To Goll): “Don’t worry little lady, Benkei will be the guardian I am meant to be!” (To Tyr): “A war god huh..Let’s see if a god can beat the Monk!” (To His Father): “Ay! I’m gonna save you all one day and you’ll thank me!” (To the Bandits): “Those who hurt the innocent..are nothing but spineless cowards.” |
2024.05.07 01:31 wonderflex Manga Creation Tutorial
 | INTRO submitted by wonderflex to StableDiffusion [link] [comments] The goal of this tutorial is to give an overview of a method I'm working on to simplify the process of creating manga, or comics. While I'd personally like to generate rough sketches that I can use for a frame of reference when later drawing, we will work on creating full images that you could use to create entire working pages. This is not exactly a beginners process, as there will be assumptions that you already know how to use LoRAs, ControlNet, and IPAdapters, along with having access to some form of art software (GIMP is a free option, but it's not my cup of tea). Additionally, since I plan to work in grays, and draw my own faces, I'm not overly concerned about consistency of color or facial features. If there is a need to have consistent faces, you may want to use a character LoRA, IPAdapter, or face swapper tool, in addition to this tutorial. For consistent colors, a second IPAdapter could be used. IMAGE PREP Create a white base image at a 6071x8598 resolution, with a finished inner border of 4252x6378. If your software doesn't define the inner border, you may need to use rulers/guidelines. While this may seem weird, it directly correlates to the templates used for manga, allowing for a 220x310 mm finished binding size, and a 180x270 mm inner border at a resolution of 600. Although you can use any size you would like to for this project, some calculations below will be based on these initial measurements. With your template in place, draw in your first very rough drawings. I like to use blue for this stage, but feel free to use the color of your choice. These early sketches are only used to help plan out our action, and define our panel layouts. Do not worry about the quality of your drawing. rough sketch Next draw in your panel outlines in black. I won't go into page layout theory, but at a high level, try to keep your horizontal gutters about twice as thick as your vertical gutters, and stick to 6-8 panels. Panels should flow from left to right (or right to left for manga), and top to bottom. If you need arrows to show where to read next, then rethink your flow. Panel Outlines Now draw your rough sketches in black - these will be used for a controlnet scribble conversion to makeup our manga / comic images. These only need to be quick sketches, and framing is more important than image quality. I would leave your backgrounds blank for long shots, as this prevents your background scribbles from getting implemented into the image on accident. For tight shots, color the background black to prevent your image from getting integrated into the background. Sketch for ControlNet Next, using a new layer, color in the panels with the following colors:
Color in Comic Panels For the last preparation step, export both your final sketches and the mask colors at an output size of 2924x4141. This will make our inner border be 2048 wide, and a half sheet panel approximately 1024 wide -a great starting point for making images. INITIAL COMFYUI SETUP and BASIC WORKFLOW Start by loading up your standard workflow - checkpoint, ksampler, positive, negative prompt, etc. Then add in the parts for a LoRA, a ControlNet, and an IPAdapter. For the checkpoint, I suggest one that can handle cartoons / manga fairly easily. For the LoRA I prefer to use one that focuses on lineart and sketches, set to near full strength. For the Controlnet, I use t2i-adapter_xl_sketch, initially set to strength of 0.75, and and an end percent of 0.25. This may need to be adjusted on a drawing to drawing basis. On the IPAdapter, I use the "STANDARD (medium strength)" preset, weight of 0.4, weight type of "style transfer", and end at of 0.8. Here is this basic workflow, along with some parts we will be going over next. Basic Workflow MASKING AND IMAGE PREP Next, load up the sketch and color panel images that we saved in the previous step. Use a "Mask from Color" node and set it to your first frame color. In this example, it will be 255 0 0. This will set our red frame as the mask. Feed this over to a "Bounded Image Crop with Mask" node, using our sketch image as the source with zero padding. This will take our sketch image and crop it down to just the drawing in the first box. Masking and Cropping First Panel RESIZING FOR BEST GENERATION SIZE Next we need to resize our images to work best with SDXL. Use a get image node to pull the dimensions of our drawing. With a simple math node, divide the height by the width. This gives us the image aspect ratio multiplier at its current size. With another math node, take this new ratio and multiply it by 1024 - this will be our new height for our empty latent image, with a width of 1024. These steps combined give us a good chance of getting an image that is in the correct size to generate properly with a SDXL checkpoint. Resize image for 1024 genration CONNECTING ALL UP Connect your sketch drawing to a invert image node, and then to your controlnet. Connect your controlnet conditioned positive and negative prompts to the ksampler. Controlnet Select a style reference image and connect it to your IPAdapter. IPAdapter Style Reference Connect your IPAdapter to your LoRA. Connect your LoRA to your ksampler. Connect your math node outputs to an empty latent height and width. Connect your empty latent to your ksampler. Generate an image. UPSCALING FOR REIMPORT Now that you have a completed image, we need to set the size back to something useable within our art application. Start by upscaling the image back to the original width and height of the mask cropped image. Upscale the output by 2.12. This returns it to the size the panel was before outputting it to 2924x4141, thus making it perfect for copying right back into our art software. Upscale for Reimport COPY FOR EACH COLOR At this point you can copy all of your non-model nodes and make one for each color. This way you can process all frames/colors at one time. Masking and Generation Set for Each Color IMAGE REFINEMENT At this point you may want to refine each image - changing the strength of the LoRA/IPAdapteControlNet, manipulating your prompt, or even loading a second checkpoint like the image above. Also, since I can't get Pony to play nice with masking, or controlnet, I ran an image2image using the first model's output as the pony input. This can allow you to generate two comics at once, by having a cartoon style on one side, and a manga style on the other. REIMPORT AND FINISHING TOUCHES Once you have the results you like, copy the finalized images back into your art programs panels, remove color (if wanted) to help tie everything to a consistent scheme, and add in you text. Final Version There you have it - a final comic page. |
