Questions about BT3, didn't find anywhere else to post this
I cannot replicate what he does at 2:40. For me, pressing L2+R2 or L2+R1 doesn't do anything, or it begins a charge, but it doesn't do the movement like he has.
I've also been trying to replicate the super fast ki blasts he does at 4:03, I don't get the inputs.

Sorry for shitty exposure, one day I'll get a good camera and do a proper one
The manga isn't even trying nowadays...
This is getting automatically removed from the main sub, so I'm posting it here.
Explain to me like I'm 5 : what's the difference between trading and gambling ?
Following the news regarding how gambling apps are trying to brand themselves as "trading" or "hedging uncertainty", I've been asking myself what separates actual trading from gambling ? I'm as layman as it gets.
Where can I read the webcomic ?
Cubari doesn't work, it gives me broken images, and Mangadex doesn't have the first 150 chapters
Can we post questions about BT 3 ?
I can't find any active sub to ask things about BT3
Silence
The music at the restaurant. The music at the grocery store. The music at the metro station. The music at the neighbours' at 11 pm. The music from people's tiktok shorts in the bus. The music at the dentist's waiting room. The music at the doctor's waiting room. The music at the toy store. The music at the bakery. The music from the concert blasting through the entire city.
Silence is the rarest commodity these days. I am a musician, I just want silence. Everywhere I go, I am obligated to endure someone else's noise. People talk about how a certain modern technology is creating a dystopia, but for me it's noise. I am constantly surrounded by noise. So much so that the rare escapes from it feel like I'm catching a breath of air between two drownings.
"But you don't like music ?" I don't like music, I love music. How can I love it when I'm being forced to endure it ? I wish I could just live in the mountains far from society, but I wouldn't know how to make that work.

Looking for a game where you controlled some kind of samurai with armies behind you
It's only a vague memory, so, sorry for the poor description.
I remember you ran around a map, fighting armies of about 50 people, you had some special moves with your guy, and I think you gained armies as you went on, or maybe not. I remember running around a castle, fighting people. And I think the main guy fought like a samurai.
Why does image searching suck major ass nowadays ? It didn't use to
I'm searching for quite popular images of popular people, and it's not giving me any matches. Not even visually close matches. I work with photoshop so I use image searching a lot, and throughout the last couple of years, it's been giving me drier and drier results, to the point where, in the last couple of months, it's returning nothing at all anymore.
The way the engine crops the image is awful, too. It's always trying to focus on a detail that doesn't matter, eventhough I didn't ask for that, so I always have to manually recrop the full picture, and still it's automatically croping back sometimes. It's such a hassle to use.
It's also very unnecessarily convoluted to browse through the results and "similar images". For instance if I'm looking for a picture of a dark forest with certain tones and colours to it, and I want to see everything that's similar to it.
It used to be SO MUCH SIMPLER and much more effective. I remember 10 years ago, you just put your picture, it searched the picture that you uploaded, no cropping nonsense, and gave you the matched results straight-up, in a full page where you could see everything at once, not the god awful slider they have today. No "visual / perfect" match distinction, just everything that looks the closest to your picture. And when you clicked on one of the results, whether it was a perfect or similar match, it opened a sub-menu that displayed everything similar to the match you clicked on. Then, you could click on these results, and it would go on to what's similar to the match of your match, etc... It was so easy to navigate back and forth between all the results. Now, if you click away from your initial image, it's all lost, and when you go back it does errors and uploading nonsense.
What went so wrong ? It kept downgrading step after step over the years. It used to be my main tool for searching illustrations, people and ambiance pictures, now I only use it when I find nothing with Yandex or Tineye. And everytime that I use it, it reminds me why I stopped using it.
HOMM 4 : morale. How does it go up or down ?
I tried searching online for information about morale, but I couldn't find anything that isn't already written in the game.
I know morale determines the order in which the characters will move, but how do you gain/lose morale ?
I know there are objects and skills (the commander skills) that help with morale, but so often I find myself with heroes having -6 morale, and others having +3, for reasons that elude me.
Also, I do not know how to get it back up.
Update : There seems to be two heroes conflicting against each other, and that apparently affects their morale. I have Darkstorm and Neela in my army, and whenever I remove either of them from the army, they both go from -6 to +1 morale. Again, no idea what's going on there. Temporary video to illustrate
I like to collect warrior medals, this one was SO HARD. At least I learned a lot about outside dirt haha

I'm tired of the "get a job" "this is so unemployed behaviour" mentality
I have a job btw.
At this point we are all aware of the terrible job economy, I have friends who submit hundreds of resumes and don't even get an answer. Within all fields, whether you're educated or not, you being ghosted by employers day and night. Whereas even just 25 years ago, you could apply for a job with 0 experience, 0 diploma, and get a job which nowadays requires 5+years of college and 2 years of experience, and you're not even sure to get it.
I'm so fed up that people casually deride other people for not having a job, or behaving in an "unemployed manner". For instance, if I spend my time writing a lot of comments online or whatever, it will most certainly be called "such unemployed behaviour".
This trend of calling everyone and everything that is just people doing what they want with their free time "unemployed" is so icky. It's such a boomer mentality and it feels like people are loving to perpetuate this boomer take on jobs. As we live in a time where you just close the Internet and go find a job around the street, what an out of touch mentality.
What does it even have to do with unemployment in the first place ? Employed people also have free time to do whatever stupid things they want to do.
We should all know that the job market is fucked up, and fight together against it, why are we spending time mocking each other about it ?
Does the "let's prove you're a human" work for anyone ?
I constantly get failures at it, idk how to create a mail at this point
Trying to recreate analog film tones
Modern movies and series are all plastered with something I call "the cappuccino filter", because almost all the shots feel like they belong in a cappuccino commercial. The tones are creamy, smooth and beige-ish.
I'm trying to recreate the tones, colours, lightning and texture if the movie had been shot over 40 years ago.
I'm having a hard time with that one, finding the right adjustments to make. I especially have trouble removing the blue shadow from Hughie's face (the guy on the left), without messing up everything.
I think I did it well in the second one. Probably because I had less shadows to work on.
I'm happy to share my PS file, so you can see what I already did with it. Though I don't know what file host you guys would trust.
What is your interpretation as to why Man'U was "stronger" than Kan Mei ?
We've seen Moubu struggle very blatantly against Man'U. Although it's fair to ay Moubu didn't go all out, Man'U still felt stronger than Kan Mei, despite himself saying that he's weaker than Kan Mei.
What do you think about that interaction ?
