Spammity Spam Spam.

Thanks to the people who let me know this account was suddenly posting about raybans... I thought I'd deleted the account. Apparently not.

Goodbye tumblr!

Time to delete this app and never look again.

Spoilers are serious business.

“ It’s armor. On a woman. It doesn’t have to look feminine.”

If I ever don’t reblog this, it’s because I’m dead.

game devs take note

What a weird impulse. Why would you need it to look feminine? Or masculine? It’s armor to protect your body from death. Not dying should be gender neutral.

Please watch Michael Che’s Netflix special

Since y’all keep missing the fucking point

Lmaaaooo

Link must be down right terrifying for normal people in Hyrule to encounter.

He’s like a fucking heroic cryptid.

Just imagine it, your village/region/kingdom is under attack by some monster or another and out of the trees this slender little twunk appears and immediately starts acting like he’s gonna help.

And you’re skeptical of course cause look at him.

And then you find out that he’s basically a one man army who just fuckin wrecks the dragon/god/monsters/etc terrorizing your place before he breaks all of the pots in town and disappears again.

Shit must be wild.

Your village has a statue of Link that’s built between his reincarnations, and people put clay pots around it as offerings and thanks.

One day some fucking kid shows up, breaks all your worship pots, and runs off without anything more than a “YAAAH!” as they jump off a cliff into the forest below. You’re confused as fuck but your great-grandmother is weeping like she just saw a god.

During my first month with my therapist, I was given this worksheet to read and work on. She noticed that while I was talking with her, that my thoughts followed a lot of these. I wasn’t aware that my anxiety had brought me down paths of low self-worth and stinky thinking.  After a couple of weeks of talking with her, she gave me this worksheet to work on. 

While, at first, I thought these weren’t going to work out, I was very surprised to see just how easy they were to use . My homework at that time was to identify which sort of thinking I used on the regular and which ones would best challenge them for me. So, what do you think? Do any of the maladaptive thinking patterns sound like you? which ways would you like to untwist your thinking? 

It’s pretty telling that Republicans are opposed to this and call it a power grab by Democrats. Mitch McConnell basically admitted that they can’t win elections without cheating.

“A power grab”

Ah yes, such a sinister “power grab” move to let MORE people of voting age to be able to vote

I mean what do the Democrats think this is?

A DEMOCRACY or something?

How DARE they try and make it easier for people who aren’t middle-to-upper-class straight cis white males to vote in elections?

I can’t even pretend to be shocked that Republicans are voicing this opinion when you consider that the Republican cult I mean um…”Party”…is a group of “People” that is made up of neo-nazis, rapists, “people” who think dinosaur bones were put in the ground by the Devil, “people” who think climate change was made up by the Chinese and meth-addled pedophiles who think that abolishing slavery was a bad idea

“real life doesnt have trigger warnings” imagine supermarkets taking all of the allergy warnings off of all of the foods and then being like “sorry sweetie, welcome to the real world (:” when everyone started going into anaphylactic shock

Or movies stop having previews or ratings and 5 year olds are crying in Quentin Tarantino movies and their parents are saying “time to grow up (:”

lmao sjws and their fuckin wet floor signs

“What’s this?

Extremely high voltage?

Danger of electrocution?

Well I don’t need safety gloves!

Because I’m not a liberal snowflake who needs trigg war-”

Top 12 alternatives to Photoshop for digital painters and illustrators

Hello there!

Yes, we haven’t done this in a while… but our inbox and chat are swamped with questions on the subject, so this article was very much needed.

it’s a simple list of art apps, but we know you love those :D

Enough with the intro, here it is, a list of twelve art apps you may want to check out.

ArtRage is an art program for beginners and professionals. With its minimal interface, it’s easy to keep the essential tools at hand without stealing space from the canvas. Panels can be moved around and tools can be customised. We all know how important it is for digital artists to be able to modify brushes!

  • Pros: easy to use; friendly interface; essential tools from professional apps available; available for iOS, Android, Windows and Mac
  • Cons: it may get sluggish with big files and when using big brushes, but performances also depend on the running machine; limited selection of editing tools if compared to Photoshop - ArtRage is more of a painting program rather than an editing one.
  • Paid

ArtRage Lite is a different version at a cheaper price, mostly for beginners, but also for professionals if they need the essential.

Now free, Sketchbook is the famous app created by Autodesk for various platforms.

  • Pros: clean, friendly interface; easy to use; professional features
  • Cons: lack of official tutorials; doesn’t offer as many tools as other apps (it’s down to the essential); paid subscription in Adobe style for multiple licenses
  • Free and paid

Black Ink is a powerful little program few actually know, but there’s a reason: this isn’t your classing drawing app. What’s cool about it is the vast selection of special brushes, completely non-realistic, and definitely able to boost your creativity.

  • Pros: vast selection of customisable brushes; excellent performance
  • Cons: not very easy to use; non-intuitive interface
  • Paid

This is probably the most complete software for painting, drawing and animation. It was originally known as Manga Studio, but with its updates and addition of features, it became Clip Studio Paint

This doesn’t say much about the quality of the features themselves considering the affordable price (if you haven’t used the app yet, that is), but among graphic apps, this one is the top seller.

  • Pros: professional features for illustrators; layout tools for comic/manga artists; 3D reference models; customisable tools; various sales with special prices
  • Cons: the interface may not appear intuitive at first; the program may lag (again, performance also depends on the running machine)
  • Paid

GIMP is the famous open source image editor originally created for GNU/Linux and available for OS X and Windows. 

Best known as Photoshop’s main competition, this is a manipulation program for both beginners and professionals who love design.

It offers many professional features, making the program a powerful tool.

  • Pros: professional editing tools; supports different formats; supported by different platforms; active community
  • Cons: in spite of the simple design, many options are hidden and it takes time to discover all the features; slow startup
  • Free

Krita is an open source painting app created by artists for artists.

  • Pros: easy to use; intuitive interface; great brush workflow; brush stabilizer; customisable brushes; general good performance; very enthusiastic, although small, community
  • Cons: it may be slow or even crash depending on the running computer and the app’s version; very few editing tools compared to Photoshop
  • Free

MediBang Paint is a free and light app for drawing and painting, perfect for manga and comic creation.

  • Pros: vast selection of brushes; cloud sharing; friendly, minimal interface (non-desktop app); also available for iPad, iPhone and Android

  • Free

Mischief is a sketching app with essential tools, useful for brainstorming and ideation.

  • Pros: infinite drawing canvas; friendly interface; easy to use; cheap pro version
  • Cons: few updates; offers only the essential (but that’s the point); no editing/adjustment tools
  • Free and paid

Corel’s jewel, Painter is the most famous software that offers digital tools able to give a traditional feel to brushes and canvas.

  • Pros: different selection of media; many professional features; PS-friendly
  • Cons: certain brushes may work slow; not easy to use at first; the software may crash (this is the most common report); pricey
  • Paid

Paintstorm Studio is a professional software for digital painting. It’s focused on the use of brushes and blending, which makes the software a little gem in the digital painting field.

  • Pros: good brush workflow; brush stabilizer; “close gap” feature; customisable interface and tools; professional features; affordable price
  • Cons: non-intuitive interface (desktop version)
  • Paid

Procreate is the powerful drawing app for iOS. 

With the very sensitive Apple Pencil, Procreate is so easy to use that many artists chose the iPad over the most famous graphic tablets.

  • Pros: friendly interface; makes it easy to organise files; excellent brush workflow; customisable brushes; video recording; affordable price
  • Cons: hidden features; only available for iPad
  • Paid

SAI is a simple app for artists who want to focus on painting and drawing. 

It’s well known for its good pressure support and its essential tools for manga artists, but SAI can be used by any kind of artist who wants to paint.

  • Pros: easy to use; friendly interface; light software; customisable brushes; tons of (non-official) tutorials
  • Cons: limited selection of tools, even basic ones; limited canvas sizes and uses; it might crash from intensive work, especially with big canvases and brushes; supports only RGB colour mode; lack of support
  • Paid

We hope you’ll find this list useful. 

If you think there are other apps that should have made this list, don’t hesitate to let us know!

Thank you and peace out,

G&M
