My mentor has drilled this in to me: a comfort zone is a wonderful place but nothing ever grows there

I find it suiting, since she is a revegetation specialist

Me hopping into graphics programming to build my own small engine for my game.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

That is awesome! It takes a lot of smarts, on top of hard work and dedication, to do that. Mad props!

[-] goldenbug@fedia.io 21 points 1 year ago

Me deciding to do another master degree...

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Congrats! What are you considering majoring in?

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago

And what is your current once in? We wanna know!

[-] goldenbug@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago

I come from social sciences. Really fun and all but I realised it was not my calling like ten years after.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

That's pretty cool. Strong of you to realize this and want to do something else.

[-] goldenbug@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago

Missing my thesis to finish data science. I had forgotten what it was like to have assignments. Can definitely say Indid not miss them one bit!

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I just finished my masters, and I had a 10-page paper due in lieu of a thesis. On top of that, I had a 25-minute video where I summarized an academic paper. I’ve already forgotten everything about both lol.

[-] goldenbug@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago

Looool. Truly, as one does.

I love the art style so much

I hate the writing - had to re-read some parts 2-3 times because of shitty "hand"writing and a stupid unneeded "bc" in the middle which could have been a "be"

[-] Lavary_5821@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wait, I thought "bc" was referred to "because".

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago
[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It does mean "because", but since it's the only abbreviation in the whole text, coming out of nowhere, it definitely made reading harder because you try to figure out what that "two-letter-thing" is supposed to mean.

I had trouble to read it too. I didn't realise until I read your comment, now I'm wondering wether I like it or not. Thinking about it, it actually illustrate the comics very well: it's harder to read because it's not what I'm used too, but it also forces me to read other kind of writings which I guess is good because not everything should be normalised too much.

[-] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't have a problem with different writings - but in comics, they should be legible - after all I am trying to follow a narrative, not earn a degree in cryptography :)

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

At least she's got some kind of emotion to communicate. These are the only emotions I've got:

  • It's a trap

  • Cigarette time

  • Mad

  • Dance time

  • Shoot zombies

  • Horny

  • Lol

  • Done with shit

How am I just hearing about this comic?! Thank you for sharing, I love it

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 3 points 1 year ago

Very welcome! I only stumbled across it a couple of months ago myself.

[-] splonglo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The key to solving problems to take breaks.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yup. This is me. Down to the very last ‘H’ in AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…

It’s unnerving and uncomfortable, and I don’t like it. Remind me why we do this to ourselves?

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 5 points 1 year ago

Bc the alternative is so much worse? :-D

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I feel this, but also these comics make people seem so fragile...

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Exaggeration is one of the key concepts in making a good comic.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

A major part of media, especially those with social commentary, is hyperbolizing emotion and reactions. Both to make it easier to identify and relate to it, and also to better critique them.
