Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • You might have your units confused.

    0.1kWh over how much time? Per day? Per hour? Per week?

    Watthours refer to total power used to do something, from a starting point to an ending point. It makes no sense to say that a device needs a certain amount of Wh, unless you’re talking about something like charging a battery to full.

    Power being used by a device, (like a computer) is just watts.

    Think of the difference between speed and distance. Watts is how fast power is being used, watt-hours is how much has been used, or will be used.

    If you have a 500 watt PC, for example, it uses 500Wh, per hour. Or 12kWh in a day.

    You’ll still need to find what to post.

    The tool just makes turning what you find into a post really easy. You just throw danbooru/pixiv/image links at it, and it does the rest.

    I made it mostly because when I go exploring on pixiv, I usually find dozens of images worth sharing, not just the one. If I shared them all right then, it’d be real spammy.

    Queueing them up instead means they get posted over time :D

    Congrats on the promotion (I hope)!

    You’re aware I publish my posting tool?

    Its a little tricky to set up, but I’m currently sitting on 385 queued posts, which means I can take a break and let my contributing keep going on “autopilot” for a good while if I need to.

    Maybe not something to get into configuring while you’re busy, but fyi :D

    There is nothing specific which makes it “good”.

    You just get used to it. How close anime-style art is to human proportions in terms of the face varies from artist to artist.

    The style has evolved over time, and it can still be taken in a variety of directions depending who is drawing. Some make the eyes huge. Some make them tiny. Some entirely omit the nose. Some make the mouth nothing more than a dot. Some make it near-human in detail. Some draw super detailed ears. Some always cover the region with a wild hairdo.

    The main thing is that the stuff is drawn by people who are already used to it, and find it appealing. They then change it however they like to increase the appeal for themselves and others.

    Over time the style changes overrall to become whatever people find appealing, which means it has ended up quite wierd for everyone that isn’t already accustomed.

    Bottom line, there’s no logic. Some theorize anime characters take their facial proportions from cats rather than people (because they’re cute), but that isn’t too consistent either.



  • When looking into the sources used to establish histories, it’s hilarious how often you find there’s just a bunch of historians trying to descipher exactly how seriously they should take one historical figure smacktalking another historical figure, or how accurate they should consider someone’s recounting of their own exaggerated god-like deeds.
