Not a reaction I expected lmao

Any recommendations?

I'm not very familiar with manga, what would be the main differentiator between this and one of those? Less words more drawings?

Hm, I don't have a iOS device to try it on, but you should be able to tap the text itself. I'll try investigate further somehow.

Otherwise you should be able to use Firefox reader mode with the webpage as well. And if all else fails, I've uploaded a pdf version to the git repo here, I'll try make it easier to get to as well.

Thanks for taking an interest and letting me know, I might change how I do that font stuff for less friction.

The font is simply Elian script. Luckily this nice person made it a font so I didn't have to do so.

I do have a pdf and epub version which I made a generator for from the html. My EPUB gen is a bit sus and I haven't got it working right yet but I've pushed the pdf to the main git repo here. Good idea, will try improve them and I should add a link to them from the page itself.

Thankyou! I tried to make it the kind of thing that's consumable in one afternoon, but I did also try to chunk it up and make it navigable for shorter reading sessions too.

If you think I could make it more approachable somehow, feel free to let me know. I have mind of an audio version but want it in a certain way that I'm not yet skilled enough to achieve.

Thanks! Sounds like it's just your personal preference but feel free to let me know if there is something I've done specifically that makes mobile viewing undesirable.

I did try to make it accessible on various screensizes with short segments but I'm sure I could probably make it more approachable. I expect more people might view it as a video but I've struggled to get my performance as intended - maybe I'll try that again soon.

About 1.5-2 hours of reading if you like that kind of thing - or just skim the pics if you like.

I read Beowulf and thought I could do better. I guess I probably didn't but I gave it a shot and I'm pretty proud of a few things in there. I'd like to record it in a sing-songy way someday...

No harm, I didn't mean to ask for your apology. You didn't do anything wrong and thankyou for making sure people don't fetishize mental illness. I consider all your comments respectful.

Having thought on it I do think my drawing is probably too direct about it for something lacking a context I haven't added. I think I should have waited until I made some more associated writings so that the nuance in my mind about the topic would have carried across better. Sorry for any distress.

Cable management is the first one I did put of this set! Got through a big migraine just before I started drawing these. I'll keep my thoughts about quintessence a secret, people seem to like the mystery of it.

I'm sorry to hear that. You have my sympathies.

This is inspired by disco Elysium which uses things like drug addiction in positive and negative ways. None of the skills are intended as purely positive or negative, I just use that name because that game had also. I think there are things people suffer from that can make them uniquely better equipped for enduring some circumstances that they fight daily that many people couldn't handle (not that it is a positive aspect in majority).

And not that it matters to me, but the only reason I felt comfortable including it is because it is part of my life and I have been bullied for it. Yes, if I had cancer I might also put that in as a skill too.

Hm, the intent was that this was more a mindset than an actual exoskeleton, but the picture would indicate a sci-fi one if literal about it. Would you prefer insectoid?

Maybe I could do an insect reskin of the skills, I do like drawing little bugs. Ammotidia instead of photogrammetry, antennae sense instead of antenna array, flight trajectory instead of imu...

Thanks. A few are on the chopping block to be replaced but none of the ones you mentioned.

🔝🥀⌨️🔍choices of someone who has the compulsion to know what is going on, I suspect.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

True, I forget restricting choice is always annoying. Was trying to coerce people into picking those that might be perceived as less useful but it's better to let them do what they want.

🍄⚡🦾📷 Your choices make it sound like youre ready to take on more than anyone should!

Thanks. Were that other comment made to me last year it would have decimated my self-esteem and willingness to share, but your comment might have salvaged it a little. Luckily at this time I'm in the mode where only a normal person amount of fucks are given.

 

You can pick one skill from each row, and they can't be from the same column.

 

which style do you prefer?
