thanks! me too lol

I see, so it’s sort of a blend in that they’re no longer using paper and (i imagine, I’m not an animator) some sort of stop motion process, but doing the same thing with a tablet.

That’s pretty cool. Still, as an animation consumer who is rather uneducated in the hows of animation, it seems like 3D animation could be done in a very similar way?

I apologize though, I think I’m just being a pedant about what “hand drawn” means when the article seemed to be more of an argument pushing for 2D over 3D animation. As a consumer I think the concept of “hand drawn” is really cool, however whether computer aided or not, I think as long as the end result is a good animation with a good story, I’m happy in the end. And, I’ll say I’m happy to see 2D animation making a comeback!

same. There is one windows computer still in this house and it’s unplugged. Everything else is Linux, Android, or FreeBSD based.

I’ll have to look into it. 30GB isn’t bad at all. I think I have unlimited now with text and phone for only like $10 more a month. I’d have to look, it’s been a while since i’ve dealt with it.

I’m likely going to go to t-mobile as they’re cheap from what I understand and they make up a big part of the network that google leases, along with (i think) US Cellular, or something similar.

That said, I’ve got about a year to decide, unless someone decides to hire me and then I can pay my phone off early.

didn’t mean to say it’s an issue that affects one gender.

I didn’t think you were lol, I just meant within the context of legwear/purses, that selling an extra thing to one gender at the expense of a feature in another product seems like it would make more sense if you did it for 100% of the pocketed-clothing market, rather than focusing on 50% of the potential customers.

But then, such is marketing and human behavior.

(I’ll carry anything for them), and I always try to get them clothes with pockets.

Good on you! You sound like a good parent.

My next phone will run Linux, even if it is inconvenient.

As soon as this phone is paid off, I’ll be changing from Google Fi as well. Which sucks because it’s hella cheap.

Yes, but this is also true for women. I feel like pant/skirt companies would make more money just selling pants/skirts with pockets if their competitors weren’t, unless all bottom-clothes companies also started selling purses at the same time in some sort of anti-female-pocket cartel.

I’m sure there’s some history behind this that I don’t fully understand. The logic just seems flawed to me.

This is coming from a place of ignorance, but are these “hand drawn” animations actually hand drawn or is this just a new way to say 2D animation? It was my impression that by now, even 2D things are put together mostly on a computer and not any more “hand drawn” than an initial sketch up of a 3D character. In other words, I find it hard to believe people are still using tracing paper to hand draw these movies frame by frame. I’m happy to be wrong here, though.

But if this logic works, why aren’t they tricking men into buying something else too?

idt i’ve seen one that doesn’t work in years. Maybe a regional thing?
