Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition has a lot less disconnects from the online server than the original but still way more than I'd like considering I am fucking paying for the online this time

SORRY FOR USING THE NEWS MEME I DIDN'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO GET YA'LLS ATTENTION!

Okay so this post is for Artists that are trying to save some money while vending at conventions.

A few cons that I've gone to have been charging extra for wifi access. (Extra costs?! In THIS economy??) This has lead to some artists/vendors paying the extra cost to use said wifi, or to use their phones as a hotspot (your phone bill!! nooo!!!) or having to switch to cash only (you might lose on sales! also having to do MORE math? plus the trips to the bank to get change?? 😭).

May I present to you: Library Hotspots!

This, of course, hinges on your local library having said service. Luckily, a good chunk of them do! Check your local library if they have hotspots to borrow. If they don't- ask them wtf why not? (DON'T ACTUALLY DO THAT. Write them a nice email saying you're a patron that is interested in this service. That will show their administration that they should invest in hotspots).

Okay so you've checked your library's website and it DOES have hotspots you can borrow- what now? Check the policy for borrowing their hotspots! They often let you know how long you can borrow the hotspot for AND you might be able to request one through an online form. (Listen I get phone anxiety so this is a bonus for me). Now all you have to do is wait to get a notification to pick up your hotspot, pick it up, test it out with your vending equipment (important step!), take it with you to your next convention/vendor event, use it, and finally bring it back to the library once you're done!

okay okay okay so those were a lot of steps. BUT! would you rather be saddled with unexpected costs of having to pay for convention wifi? I sure wouldn't with how expensive everything is already 😭

You might be thinking: "Weirdo-Librarian, why are you telling me this? What do you get out of this?" Well-

hi! saw gif reqs are open and while i don't have anything specific atm i was wondering if you could talk about how you make them? they're always so clean cut thanks!!

ohh thank you!! my process is really unnecessarily complicated lol

first, i upload my clips to DaVinci Resolve and cut them to the right length. i usually first make rough cuts (e.g. when the camera angle changes), look for the shortest clip that i still absolutely want to be in the gifset, and base the length of all the gifs on that. if the shortest clip is too long for one gif, the length is decided based purely on vibes (usually a round number bc i've decided that is easier even though it literally makes no difference if a clip is exactly 3 seconds or 2:24).

then i export them as MP4 (because DVR turns all gifs into 30+mb files) and upload them to Ezgif (website). usually, i just convert MP4 to GIF (20 frames per second — optimise them if they're over 10mb).

unfortunately, this sometimes wrecks the colouring, so what i then do is convert MP4 to PNG (again 20 frames per second) and put them into Gifski (download here), which makes really nice and crisp gifs (i only do this when Ezgif turns my gifs ugly or when it's something i REALLY care about that i want to have extra pretty gifs. if i'm just giffing a Taskmaster bit that i found funny, i won't go through all this trouble bc it takes fucking forever and those gif sets are comedy-based, not aesthetics-based).

SQOTD Time!! ~ @simblr-question-of-the-day ~

Platforms I started off as a PC Player when I was around 4-5 years old, starting with Sims games and a lot of game websites (Friv FTW!!), but as I got older (around fifth grade), I got my own phone! So I was a mobile player for a LONGGG while (esp. since we've never had the money to buy me a gaming laptop), and I'd play a lot of CoD mobile, Minecraft, Genshin impact, and Ark mobile (ik theres more but idr them 🧍‍♂️), It wasn't until last year that I got my gaming laptop AND Xbox Series S, So i've been primarily PC Player and occasionally a Console Player

Genres Idk tbh 😭 I never really keep track of the genres I play, but I guess Action, Adventure/Survival and Simulation games? I also really enjoy games with story (despite me being shit at remembering story and having a terrible attention span) and games that are endless/have an ending but let you keep playing after the end (idk what genre that'd be but ye)
