    Only advice I can give is:

    Keep sculpting until you are satisfied!

    You’ve picked a great subject / reference material — it has some basic shapes, understandable shadows, which are great to start self learning.

    Important thing you can do is save your work and do it again in a month or three to examine your own progress.

    Another sub-exercise idea, after you will finish this version, try to come up with a totally different color scheme, not present in the reference image — this can help a lot because you will force your own creativity to kick in, instead of just making a copy of something, plus good coloring is deceivingly hard to pull off…





  • This is one of the most influential games ever for so many different reasons… I am definitely a big fan and have a lot of great memories with the classic one on NES, especially the 1v1 mode. It was a pure joy to play with my uncle, brother, friends or mom, she preferred Battle City tho!

    This was long time ago, now if I play, I go for the Tetris Effect — which doesn’t change the main formula, it mostly builds around it or plays with it.

    One of — counterintuitively — not so many games that you can just keep playing to get better at them, as your brain rewires itself and conscious decision making process goes into the deep, unconscious brain backroom magic. Of course to be the best there is a lot of technical knowledge or some tactical aspects but the base gameplay loop just keeps you in self-learning mode or more often than not, in the flow state.

    Same unfortunately goes for a big chunk of the law on a global scale… Constant progress, new possibilities and technologies, changes in general are really outpacing some dusted and constantly abused solutions. Every second goes by and any “somehow still holding” relic is under more pressure. As a species we can have some really great ideas but the long-term planning or future-proofing is still not our strongest suit.

    I am really quite torn on this one… In my language the definition of sexuality boils down to something (both intuitively felt and expressed) that changes over time with ones self awareness, current needs, state of being, moods and feelings…

    So… this just feels like a pleonasm from my perspective. Which wouldn’t be a problem at all but it kinda undermines the value of the word sexuality in itself — as something well defined or constant when clearly by definition is not at all…

    I am guessing that this word is created and meaningful for people, groups or nations where sexuality as a word is being very poorly treated or even in some ways censored / taboo?

    Can anyone explain?

    For over a decade now, I am fortunate enough to just let my body decide, so I go to sleep whenever I feel like I want to sleep and wake up whenever it happens…

    Hours are funny tho, middle point is probably somewhere around 6, sometimes there are times when it is closer to 4, and less often but it happens, around 8.

    From my observations and whenever I talk with anyone invested in their routines, it mostly boils down to quality over quantity. Shitty 9 or 10 hours might feel terribly unpleasant and 30 min power nap can do wonders sometimes.

    I always believed to be the night owl until I discovered it can switch for me and then I figured out a new option of being a morning lark — I must say, both have some benefits actually but the whole day timetable changes dramatically.



  • Yup, when I was talking with a few different Microsoft representatives, they just straightforwardly stated that they don’t focus at all on punishing or pushing consequences for “obtained/purchased windows instances via any existing alternative/not supported ways” when it comes to private/home users.

    They surely and happily will put the idea of buying a key or official upgrade from their certified resellers locally or online on the table.

    It is quite a different story with larger organizations and companies.

    Of course all this info is based on just a few talks during the last decade and with incoming subscription (ugh) model a lot will change, I guess.
