New url, new content.

Hello again! It's been a while.

I'm going to be making some changes in the next coming days. First, I've changed my url. I was powersip, now astrapirata. Second, I'm going to be deleting all previous posts and starting fresh. I may bring some of the old concepts back in the future, but I'm not sure yet.

Reaping, day two: Electric Boogaloo

Previous / Next

Naomi: What have you weirdos got in store for me today?

Grim Reaper: Miss Uchiyama-

Naomi: I know, I know. Dress code, boss. I'm on it!

-

Naomi: Are you going to help me out here, big guy, or...

I'll take that as a no.

Fuck you too, Kenny.

Naomi: Good riddance.

Art: I think that things got on top of you today but you’re a good kid

Byron: Don’t be kind to me, I screwed up

Art: And you are sitting here with me admitting it rather than rampaging somewhere

Byron: I suppose

Art: If you’re worried about your family blood talk to your mum about it, don’t take it out on random kids who are bored and looking for a bear to poke. Plus, if you really wanted you could dye your hair

Byron: I could?

Art: Yeah. I mean I love being a natural blonde but it's not for everyone. Your mum gets red streaks in her hair, I can't see her not letting you change your hair colour

Byron: I'll think about it but... I suppose I better call mum now. She's gonna be mad

Art: You know she’s busy until 5. Why don’t you work on what to say to her so that she doesn’t panic and knows you won’t do it again? She'll also be less likely to get mad if you explain what that girl was saying. I'm going to go pick up Coraline after school since she won't have you or Will to come home with. Have a snack, put your headphones on and listen to some good music. I'll see you in a bit

Byron: Okay. Thank you Art. For picking me up and... you know, talking to me

Art: Anytime Byron, but maybe try not needing to be picked up because you're suspended again any time soon?

HOW TO MAKE SIMLISH LOOK NATURAL (aka. why typography matters, even if you can’t read the language)

We’re living in a golden age of Simlish (or Simlish-esque) fonts. Gone are the days of trying to recycle the same two or three typefaces without feeling like you live in the Twilight Zone! We have handwritten fonts, digital fonts, fancy fonts, formal fonts, cartoony fonts, and blocky fonts. Now making great-looking Maxis Match, Simlish content is as easy as changing the typeface from a drop-down menu in your graphics editor of choice! Right?

The thing is, typography - the art of type - is incredibly important to the overall aesthetic of an image, even if you can’t read it - in fact, probably moreso than if you could, because you have nothing else to distract you from how it looks. The whole point of Simlish is to maintain our immersion, and our suspension of disbelief, but unnaturally-formatted text can break that immersion even if we can’t read it.
