oh it’s actually not a font at all? I mean it’s neater than my hand writing for sure. I think if you try to put a bit more spacing between letters it would help
I think the rough pixelated edges on the brush you used aren’t doing any favors either. Maybe that’s just the compression though? Are you making the comic at a higher resolution then downscaling it for export?
All caps, while being very small and dense. More spacing, bigger size of the words and maybe even the use of non-capped letters would make it easier to read.
First comics didn’t have all-caps-writing and the consensus was that that was much worse… I’ll try to be less dense though. I’ll also work on my handwriting.
Have you thought about simply using a handwritten type font? You could even create a font from your own handwriting so that it still has your style, but you only have to take the time for each letter once.
Or if you want to improve your handwriting, that is also great to strive for I guess. Do whatever brings joy in your life :)
I guess I’m fine with pizzacake’s awful zero-punchline comics being here on Lemmy, I just hope her stupid cult doesn’t follow and this community doesn’t turn into some pizzacake safe fan space where you literally aren’t allowed to say anything that isn’t directly kissing her ass, like /r/comics.
I’m talking about the creator, relevant, and specifically referring to this particular comic (as well as their others) as awful and without a punchline, so that doesn’t feel like nothing about the topic to me.
Negativity is a valid opinion and negativity isn’t the same as incivility (and thus shouldn’t be prohibited)
There really isn’t. The “punchline” here is predicated on the idea that the reader will assume the character will react with transphobia, as if transphobia is the default reaction, but if you don’t assume that reaction either because that’s not your worldview or you’re familiar enough with the creator to understand the context of their work, then there is nothing left to serve as a punchline. I won’t say “virtue signaling” because that’s a stupid phrase and frankly there is legitimately some value to the signaling of virtue in the first place anyway (especially when said signal is one of welcoming to a disenfranchised community like our trans brothers and sisters), but the only “joke” here is pandering. It’s “hey you expected me to be awful but I’m actually incredible!!,” and that’s not a punchline.
It is really a punchline. Also it isn’t predicated on the reader’s reaction being transphobia. The reader could simply be aware that transphobia exists and is a common reaction to the familiar situation she depicted. You don’t need to self insert as literally one of the characters in the comics you read. She isn’t saying that you are transphobe or that she is incredible. She is making a comment about how parents and society’s reaction to a trope situation is changing.
I didn’t say the reader, I said the character. She isn’t making any “comment” about anything here; acknowledging a situation exists is not inherently making commentary on it nor injecting humor into it. This is at best pandering, at worst pandering with an appetizer of rage-baiting.
Do I hate this? No. Is it evil? No. Do I hate pizzacake? No. Do I even object to this awful non-punchline comic being posted here? No. The only thing I object to is the bullshit special treatment and kid gloves certain creators on the other site received for no worthwhile reasons, and am preemptively sounding the alarm that we should be wary that such behavior does not seep over here too.
Point being, if you enjoy this comic, punchline or not, that is okay. I’m not really interested in further spending time arguing the merits or non-merits of the work of somebody I’m not interested in with you, so if you still wish to argue that there is some deep commentary or punchline to be found here, I hope we simply land on agreeing to disagree on the topic.
That doesn’t ring true. It is clearly a punch line, easily identified by both of us. You just don’t like it. You find it weak and bland like you do most of her work.
It doesn’t meet your standard for a funny punchline. It is clearly a punchline though. It’s a weird mischaracterization to say that this comic is without a punchline.
I didn’t say anything about negativity or prohibitions; all I’m saying is that apparently you feel that this comment would be appropriate underneath every comic by this author, which would certainly not make for an interesting comments section.
(I like how you’re on Lemmy during that time (and how that gives you plausible deniability if somebody asks if your bathroom breaks need to be 30 minutes because you’re on reddit))
I’ll tell the agile fragile fugitive gin-drinking giraffes eating ginger ginseng to imagine gingerly using their digits to engineer a geological survey of the gist of your comment. They ate too much gingerbread and now have gingivitis, so the margins of those attracted to religion aren’t as rigid as the original origins of those of that region and we have to remain vigilant lest magic supersede logic, which of course would be terrible for legislation of the legions.
Great.
However none of those have the g-i-f sequence and have the j sound.
They do have g-i-t sequences. So it suggests that the f makes the g pronounced like a g not a j.
Intact, you could use examples like “digit” to argue the versioning software should be pronounced jit.
Yeh, it’s obviously a nonsense argument.
Linus even suggested 2 backronyms for it, none of which have the j sound.
And there is precedence for git being pronounced git not jit.
Women Vs world? Women Vs Woo? Women Vs work? Women Vs wonder?
Cause the “wom” sequence would be…
Women Vs Womb?
Women Vs Wombat?
The arguement is obviously nonsense.
It’s going into syntax of words to get pronunciation, instead the acronym/name.
Which is funny, because that’s exactly what’s happening in the gif/jif argument.
The whole thing is funny when you look at the full phrase too. Graphical Interchange Format – it’s got both a hard g and a soft g. You could call a gif an image. You could also call it a graphic.
At the end of the day, there really isn’t an answer, and there never will be. It’s a fun debate to fuck around with though
Gin like Gin and Tonic. Use Gin instead next time. Don’t get me wrong I will forever call it gif(t) however to help you with your position using a 3 letter word may help.
You may be explaining how superficial the Gift argument is by making it a much longer thing to take off but figured if you ever use it in a real way or argument you may want this one in your back pocket as well.
I have quite a lot of ideas and whil I am an amateur programmer,such games need stellar writing to be worth it and I doubt I can pull it off. Also, while the art doesn’t need to be very fancy, I can’t draw for beans.
I actually rely on a very human effect to scribble as a de-stress mechanism. I paint and remove random lines until pareidolia kicks in and I see a form in the nonsense. I then just add eyes and a mouth and some additional touches . Sometimes, I end up with some nice character concepts I wish I could use.
Disco Elysium is sorrrrta like that, if you squint a bit.
Not focused around being an introvert or different dialogue styles exactly, but you’re a mess of a human being and conversations can literally hurt you, as it tracks your mental health as well as physical.
Heard of the name but never really checked it. Reading the wiki, my idea wouldn’t achieve a 1/100 of the depth this game has to offers. Very impressive game .
If you didn’t already know by looking at my instance name, I already sails the high seas. We always welcome aboard new sailors so you’re welcome to visit our instance and learn.
Ah, I didn’t pay attention to the instance you were posting from. I already frequent several of the comms on dbzero and like half of the games in my library are pirated but thanks for the kind offer.
