This is part of what I've consistently failed to grasp about drawing, painting, etc. The fine motor skills in my hands don't react like that, so even if I were using reference material I still would not be able to produce good looking writing or a drawing. Maybe that is something that comes with practice though, like you mentioned a while ago.

Yeah practice does it. I make far more duds than successes but I'm able to see what I did right and wrong and try to do similar things for the next one

For reference this is what my handwriting looks like 99% of the time:

 

[SolVanderlyn]

At least is not cursive Cyrillic, like this Russian medical record.

Further proof of doctors being wired differently.

This literally looks like the recording of a heart monitor.

I don't have any examples unfortunately though.

 

[Jobbs]

"nothing" is an incorrect statement since similarity is a matter of degrees. They all look more like Jared leto than they do a bluegill

It's a hyperbolic statement but it means I think they look very dissimilar outside of the cast of "pretty white girl". Jawlines and various features are enough different that I can identify and draw them (if I wanted).

Spec Ops: The Line is a terrible game that fails at everything it tries to be and people latching onto it are just posers. It's a nonsensical fantasy story that's pretending to be a grounded warfare tale and it presents literally no choice to the player and then tries to make you feel bad for making that choice even though you have no option. The only option is to stop playing, so that's what I did. I went AWOL. Fuck you game. You aren't worth shit and your gunplay is just dreadful and your checkpoints are unfair.

how about this: it's a great and incredibly ambitious story that's based on Apocalypse Now (movie) and Heart of Darkness (book the movie is based on) and conveys their themes through setting, atmosphere, visuals, gameplay and sound alike. it took a great risk for a mainstream game because it isn't readily explainable to everyone and that alone is an accomplishment.
if nothing else it at least makes you think. it handled an important topic that's relevant in society & game industry - unlike most *nonsensical fantasy* AAA games do. it lured people in with the looks of another generic shooter but turned that whole expectation upside down, in a slow and subtle way. Dubai's desert was the perfect visual metaphor for transcending into madness, there are so many thoughtful placed details to it. the implicit moral critique did not only adress players but the CoD & BF-shitting game industry itself. and that took balls an obviously made them a lot less money than they could've made by following the rulebook. nothing but respect. did I mention the kickass soundtrack? what other games features Mogwai, Alice in Chains AND Inner Circle??

Spec Ops:

OK story, gameplay passable.

Not sure how many endings there are, but I saw 3.

you could probably be more specific than "white" with likely "Anglo-Saxon". they don't look particularly Italian, Swedish, or Polish

evolutionary computation; essentially algorithms but our algorithms course was separate. It was a chore, haha.

you have cute handwriting

 

[Clydefrog]

My handwriting looks like a dyslexic intoxicated chicken scratched the paper and then shmeared all over it.

I heard that people with messy handwriting and rooms are lowkey geniuses though so I don't feel too bad.

Bahaha, if the key fits.. I guess we are both geniuses then.

Just a few hours ago, someone at work was sending around a sympathy card for a co-worker whose dad recently passed away. I'm writing in there "I'm so sorry for your loss..." but it looks like a seven year old wrote it. Not feeling good bout it

Legitimately the first two compliments I've gotten on my handwriting, so thank you.

knapsack is a cool word. you should write it down more often.

I was going to make some really pretty girly handwriting with hearts and show it to you guys but I ultimately didn't feel like it + didn't want to steal Grenadier's thunder for his adorable nerd code book . =) So just imagine it.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Get a fountain pen. It'll force you to retrain yourself to be smoother and less jerky.

[You Know Nothing]

A master pancake maker and flipper.

[Clydefrog]

I just wrote down a sentence to show you guys. I looked at it for 10 seconds, crumpled the paper and threw it in the trash.

 

[Granadier]

This song is fantastic.

With socks on a hardwood floor no less. Impressive.

but the subject of the photo isn't the face

if that's directed at me I'll have to think about it. I'm straight, but the pancake thing is persuasive...

 

[Granadier]

Ha, I didn't notice the marks at first. Little domination play?

Cheers, got a good feeling about her.

And I certainly hope your thirst has been somewhat quenched Lili!

I watch both of these things


I watch the unboxings to see the exclusive Pop figures and I like the yogscast Minecraft stuff though they do much less of it now a days.

Yes, it's annoying af.

 

[zeemumu]

It's been a while since I've played Minecraft. I remember playing on PVP-heavy servers where people could get insanely strong gear by donating money to the server host. I hated the idea of paying for power so I used my own tactics to hunt down those people and take their armor. Hey, it's on you for paying $10 for virtual armor.

It's...raining? It's been in the 80's all day.

 

[Jobbs]

One of my nieces watches Minecraft stuff. She watches "Stampy" endlessly.

The other one is into Pewdie Pie now.

HN is coming over late tonight after shift.

Do you have no shame man?

Pretty soon the only way you will be able to climax is if you are hanging from the ceiling by hooks attached to body piercings above the drowning screams of Jennifer Lopez.

I decided I'm not drinking anymore or only very lightly. Last time I did it - the other night - I felt so horrible the next day that it almost scared me. I'm just too old for this.

I'm not sure though how to navigate this since she frequently imbibes.

Why do I feel like death

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Why do I feel like death

Because happiness is antithetical to the human condition.

 

[Granadier]

I've never played around with pain in the bedroom beyond nails and biting. would be lying if I said it didn't entice me though.
