The second coming animator vs animation

So yesterday I was just watching anime until I; in typical ADHD fashion was reminded of something more important to do, which prompted me to stand up swiftly.
The exact moment I stoop up I immediately got an aura. And the scariest part is that it was unlike any I ever had before.
Usually my aura symptoms manifest more in a slowly growing blind spot of even "colour". This time it was more like a really bright vertigo/hypnosis pattern that grew exponentially fast.
The pain was awful but at least it's far from the worst migraines I had. I could sleep this one out so that's a plus.
It's also really bizarre how everything went seemingly fine beforehand while sitting. Normally I can sort of sense that it's coming.
Thoughts on what it could be this time around?

Just got done playing a bunch of smaller short indie games and ready for a longer experience again. I have 3 games I really want to play, but can't decide which to start, so please help me decide.
First is Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition. Have played before, but never played Siege of Dragonspear or Baldur's Gate 2. I have Baldur's Gate 3 pre-ordered, so I will be doing a trilogy run at some point before 3 comes out
Second is Dark Souls Remastered. I have been trying for years to beat a Souls game on my own for years and I'm feeling a committed try this time around. Will move on to others if I can manage to see my way through.
Last is Yakuza 0. Have bought all the games up to 7 in hopes of catching up. Heard many a great things about this series and would like to see it for myself. Have played partly through before but always fell by the wayside. Will say though, Y0 seems like a completionist hell, which hurts my completionist soul

Here's a little about me:
-Introverted
-I love gaming, I've been doing it all of my life and I've even made some money doing it. (mainly play wow right now)
-love anything to do with cinema...movies/tv/anime
-I love writing and reading, I enjoy writing prompts and roleplaying (mostly zombie or fantasy related).
-I've traveled all over the US, but haven't made it to any other countries yet, but plan to. I love the idea of traveling and seeing historic sights and museums.
-I like to research random shit/useless facts/trivia. I'm a huge history nerd.

-I won't ghost you, please don't ghost me :
Honestly can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but feel free to ask any questions, I'm up for any chats as long as they're fun. I will say that I prefer to message on reddit over anything else

TL;DR at bottom So, some context first if that's how it's done. When I was a boy, I was looked after by an elderly Japanese woman named Miss Suzy who would tape anime movies for her own kids then share the tapes with me. She was a great lady; kind, wee little, taught me how to eat with chopsticks, and she said her favorite movie was Fly Away Home. I loved it when Miss Suzy would bring me these weird tapes. They always had wild, violent, spooky shit on them that I was almost certainly too young to see. Even before I discovered pokemon, ranma and DBZ, I had Miss Suzy's tapes filled with double often triple-features of anime features often with commercials included if she didnt stop and start the recordings at the ad breaks. Anyhow, they were all pretty dope, but there's one that I cannot remember the title of for the life of me. Could one of you fine folks help me out? Not sure how it works here, but I'll drop a descrip. of what I remember watching in what was probably '97.
(Before I begin I'll say that what I'm thinking of is not Origin: Spirits of the Past. Older than that. Had that late 80s early 90s anime vibe. Style was a sharper (more angular), more shadowy type style closer to a Gundam than an Miyazaki if I'm speaking the right language... I dont think it's Angel's Egg either but that's closer to the time.)
So, it's a science fiction at core I imagine? Contemporary world more or less, cars, machine guns, soldiers stuff like that. The world is being overrun my some green corruption or evil force. It may actually be uncontrollable forest growth that also turns people to plants? There's seemingly regular a girl who I think had white hair (really narrows it down, right?) and she's suspected of being some kind of princess/link to this other world and may have a power which could stop the corruption. There's some intense soldier guy who's sent after her because of this. He's a bad guy.
Here's where it gets both murky and more specific. I totally lose the plot but I remember some details from here
So, the girl finds out that she might be "special" and after some pampering in some circular glistening pool, she's got to face a sort of "trial" where some demons determine if she's actually special or a fake. She enters through some tall double doors into a room of darkness. The Demons/monsters are in here, they bully her a little and ask her some questions to prove herself. And she'd better answer correctly because if she doesn't it's suggested she'll be killed or eaten? There's a round (like a ball, round) demon with a huge mouth (blue lips?) who's dressed in red(?) and he's wearing the locks of braided silvewhite hair the other girls had. He took them after doing away with the "fake" princesses or whatever. That's a really specific thing I remember. Big mouthed demon thing spooks our girl, showing off the braids of the other girls who claimed to be the "special girl" before her.
The other thing I remember pretty specifically was, maybe while the girl is facing the trial her friend, some boy I cant remember anything about, is approached by the soldier who's been after them. He talks to the boy about how pointless this whole thing is, how nothing is going to change whats happening, even his mission doesn't matter now. Half his body is becoming plant like/corrupted. Holding up his arm that's now turned to "plants" or otherwise corrupted, he says something like "Soon enough everything's gonna be green... Like me..."
Then I guess regular girl ends up being the real deal, and she saves the planet? I cant remember the damn end. I'm sorry-
Folks, that's all I got. That image of the braided hair on a monster and this soldier guy turning into a plant. I know it's a long shot, but these images have been living in my mind for over 20 years and I'd love to revisit this and find out what the hell Miss Suzie showed me on that tape.
There might have been some writing on the tape label that read "Princess Green Girl" or something of the like... But that may have just been what Miss Suzy wrote on the tape as a general description. Anyhow, if you've read this far, you've got my thanks. I haven't any money or gold, and I'm not from this community, but I can offer all the upvotes I can give. Thanks to you all. I'd love to watch this movie again.
TL;DR

• Late 80s, maybe early 90s anime movie.
  
• Modern World being overrun by some corruption or plant life
  
• Some girl with white hair might be some special girl or princess of some other world, if she is, she's got the power to stop the corruption/plants
  
• Girl with white hair has to prove she's "the one" to a room of demons, one of which has kept the hair of other girls who have not passed the test.
  
• Soldier guy who is after the girl and her friend ends up being corrupted by whatever is taking over the world, and says something like, "Pretty soon everything's gonna be green... Like me."
  

Thanks, all.

I hope they don't fuck it up, it's still near and dear to my heart. That game's level of eurojank is pure bliss. Structure is pretty simple but I still like it quite a bit, apparently enough to play it more than once. I'd like the stance mechanic to make a return, altho it could use some work since mostly you could just use one and switch occasionally. (if they do keep the stance system, I'm hoping for a mod that brings back the old running animations, funniest shit I've ever seen)

So, I'm an old engene and I was very active here before. I was the one who made the "ENHYPEN will be one of the biggest groups" 2 years ago and looking at ENHYPEN now, I'm so proud of them.
Majority of the comments then was that they are still lacking in the vocals, but I went to their concert and I can confidently say they are really REALLY good at live. They also said ENHYPEN lacked "individualism" but now, I think ENHYPEN is one of the groups who you could point out each member easily because of their different strengths and quirks. (I'm a big believer that Jungwon is actually a cat and Sunghoon is a vampire)
The boys are slowly showing of their skills with their song covers (I enjoyed the newest from Jay, his collaboration with Yuuuri). I also watched Heeseung's guesting in Lee Mujin's show and I wish ENHYPEN members will get more opportunity to show off their singing skills just like that.
They debuted with a really good song, Given-Taken, and like what I wanted, they have a really awesome discography. It shows on how well-received their albums are. Border: Carnival is so close to a million (originally at 450K in the first month I think), Manifesto: Day 1 is 6th on the IFPI chart, Dimension: Dilemma got them the youngest boy group to have a 1M sales and earned them a "million-seller rookie". Fastest boy group to have 1B streams on Spotify (fastest act until Newjeans btw congrats to them they are amazing group as well!)
Also, as of this writing, Polaroid Love is rising on the charts yet again because its spring season in South Korea. Might turn into their own Cherry Blossom Ending? We don't know but I'm loving the fact that the boys are getting known for their good music. Drunk-Dazed is also gaining a lot of attention from Anime watchers internationally, overtaking FEVER and Polaroid Love at streams in Spotify.. FEVER is consistently having 200K streams a day too.
They have the most famous, arguably, the most successful webtoon lore among HYBE groups. Recently, everyone is thinking they are coming back with a lore-heavy music video which I'm really excited for. The fandom has tripled and everyone wants to experience an era close to the Border: Carnival, sadly it might not come again but it will be amazing to have another era like that.
On performances, they arguably one of the best dance lines in Kpop and amazing concert performers. They recently had a dome concert as an encore, the first 4th gen group, in Kyocera dome for 2 days. It's amazing they manage to do it in just 2 years and on the stage Ni-ki danced when he was a kid. A full-circle moment for him. Now, the upcoming shows are featuring them as the headliner act. The new and upcoming expo in LA, Kross vol. 2, KCON, Summer Sonic etc.
ENHYPEN was also featured on KPOP Generation, a documentary showing the Kpop group history and they were praised for how they manage to amass a big international fanbase early, shocking the local scene of how popular they are overseas. I-LAND might be an early push but I think after their Border: Carnival and Dimension: Dilemma, their success is solely theirs now. Born To Dance documentary also featured Ni-ki and Jungwon, so so proud of the maknaes.
Their variety skills has also improved a lot, though I enjoyed how calm their "chaotic" side, its nice to watch them go out of the character that was boxed into them. I think their recent ENO-clock is their best yet. So So Fun was also good! It was funny how obsessed they are on fishing, which makes it funnier now that they became the belugas band in the upcoming Baby Shark movie. (They hated the whale game too lol)
Oh and I appreciate their Vlogs. Though I enjoy their frequent livestreams and constant spamming on Weverse (eherm, Jungwon), I think vlogs are more of my liking. Its fun to see their lives outside usual idol life. Their interactions with Heeseung's brother and joining Sunghoon's dad...can't believe how close they are now.
Haaa its been a while fangirling on them here. And its been a while since their last album. I've been fangirling silently but we're so close to 300 days since Manifesto: Day 1. I hope their next era will be their bestest yet again.

I work retail in a pretty busy part of town. I'm scheduled almost everyday and often end up working late into the night. I live pretty close to the store; so I've always walked to and from. On this particular night, it was already in the am. The usually crowded sidewalks were now barren. I was alone out here and honestly…it felt pretty creepy. As I continued to walk, I noticed a guy standing to himself. He seemed kinda strange, all fidgety and staring at the ground. He was dressed in all black and had a hood on, so I couldn't see his face. He made me feel uncomfortable, like I should've taken a different path.
Then again, I had been working all day. I wanted to go home and I wasn't gonna let some weirdo worry me. So I switched my attention to my phone and walked right past him. I wished that was the end of our meeting; but it was just beginning. "Hey man, got a smoke", he asked. I didn't smoke, so I shook my head and kept walking. What happened next though, was downright terrifying. As the guy casually started to follow me. Whats worse, was that I finally got a glimpse at his face…or lack thereof. This freak was wearing a Halloween mask in April. It was one of those scary orange pumpkin mask with bloody teeth. In fact, I think our store sold them.
Knowing his intentions weren't good, I started to walk faster. And of course, he did the same. I considered myself to be a brave guy, and I was getting sick of his game. So I turned around and gave this loser a piece of my mind. "Get out of here before I hurt you…freak!!". Instead of scaring him like I'd hoped; my words seemed to excite the man. "Oooh tough guy, this is gonna be fun", he chuckled. He then pulled an extremely long kitchen knife from his jacket and held it in the air.
My first and only instinct was to run and not stop. He seemed to enjoy this; as he pursued me while giggling like an excited child. I ran from this freak at full speed, but he didn't have any issues keeping up with me. I had never been in the best of shape; and maybe tonight I was paying for it. Thankfully, I saw an alleyway as I was fleeing. I quickly took a turn and sprinted into the darkness. Figuring he wasn't far behind; I dived behind a dumpster for cover. By this point I was out of breath; but I had to stay quiet. I covered my mouth and prayed for this psycho to go away. Unfortunately for me, I heard footsteps coming in my direction. I poked my head out and saw him dragging his knife down a brick wall. He then let out another twisted giggle before speaking again.
"A game of hide and seek? Sounds like a blast my little piggie". He then started to playfully prance around like a ballerina. Humming an upbeat tune while searching for me. There was no other word to describe his behavior except for absolute madness. This masked psychopath was having the time of his life chasing after me. Pretty soon he'd approach my hiding spot, it was safe to say that I was terrified. What happened next however, was something neither of us expected. As a seemingly drunk homeless man stumbled onto the scene. He held a bottle of liquor and gave the psycho a ticked off look. "Hey man, this is my territory here! You need to roll on before you get hurt".
Clearly the old man didn't know what kind of person he was dealing with. Seeing the creepy jack-o-lantern mask made him take a step back. "Hey man, are you on something?", the guy asked. Saying nothing, my stalker approached the man with his knife drawn. I then watched in horror as he plunged his blade into the man's stomach. I watched helplessly as he stabbed this innocent old guy over and over. The blood gushed out like a fountain; his groans of pain were something I'd never forget. I should've tried to help the guy; but I was in utter shock. Watching the life slowly leave this person's body was something I didn't want to see.
Proud of his work; the killer began smearing the fresh crimson onto his mask. Afterwards he let out this creepy moan; feeling utter bliss from killing someone. I couldn't watch anymore; I had to get out of here now! I darted from behind the dumpster in an attempt to escape. Unfortunately though, the killer was closer to me than I thought. As he reached out and slashed my back with his already blood soaked knife. I yelled out in pain, but I did not stop moving. One could only imagine what he'd do if I did. On top of my current circumstances; I had already worked an eight hour shift. I was utterly exhausted and didn't know how much longer I could run. Meanwhile my stalker kept pursuing me; like his stamina was infinite.
It was only a matter of time before I ended up his second victim. Thankfully, as if fate wanted me to survive this night. I came upon a police station, the relief I felt was unreal. Naturally I dashed up the steps and entered into this safe haven. Inside officers sat around talking and sipping late night cups of coffee. I looked back with a smile; thinking my worries were over. However, this nightmare wouldn't end just yet. As the killer ran into the station after me; knife drawn and everything. He had to be out of his mind; it's as if the only thing that mattered to him was taking my life. "Hey, that freak's trying to kill me!!", I yelled out. The officers were quick to react and sprung into action. Within seconds tasers were drawn and the pumpkin masked killer was brought to his knees.
I swear he'd been hit about six times; regardless of this…he kept coming. Now on the ground, he gripped his knife and began crawling towards me. The officers were in shock; meanwhile I was freaking petrified. He crawled and crawled, wanting so desperately to reach me. Thankfully, his body would succumb to all of the electricity flowing through his veins. As he passed out right in front of me; it was finally over. The cops cuffed him up and pulled his mask off. His face was covered in deep scratches and sores. His curly red hair was matted and covered in grease. Everyone could tell this guy was sick; maybe he was on something.
I'd soon be brought to the hospital where I received eight stitches in my back. In the following weeks a lot happened. I was questioned by police, got to pay my respects at the old man's funeral. But things culminated when the trial started. I testified and recounted the entire bloody story. Meanwhile the killer sat with a huge smile as I took the stand. It turned out that he was a nutcase who was extremely obsessed with serial killers. He idolized people that brutally murdered others and wanted to start his own legacy.
Thankfully his bloody dream would never be realized. As he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in an asylum. I'll never forget his final words to me before being taken away in shackles. "Goodbye my little piggie, I'm gonna miss you!!!". I'd never see him again after that. While I was relieved, my life quickly changed. I joined a gym and got into shape; I also started taking self defense classes. I even carried a concealed weapon in case all else failed. I refused to become another statistic. The terror that I felt that night would not define who I am. Next time I was going to be ready, I was going to survive…no matter what.

An arena is bustling with cheers as the first figure shows up, clad in red. "It's been a while since I've returned to this arena, lets see if I still got what it takes!" We see his friend group in the crowd. "Oh I hope he's gonna be okay without us down there." A blond haired girl expresses worry in her tone of voice. "Oh don't worry Collette, Lloyd is going to be just fine!" A white haired kid speaks up. "Lloyd is a strong and capable fighter, he can handle himself." He says. "Thanks Genis, I appreciate the words of comfort." After a few seconds, a new figure stepped forward into the arena, clad in blue with a greenish blue head of hair. "Alright! Let's get this started." He shouts out to his opponent. In the crowd we see his group. "I still can't believe Alm wanted to go through with this. I hope he'll be fine out there." A redheaded girl says with worry. "Oh don't worry Celica, Alm can take care of himself out there!" A dark skinned boy speaks up. "He's definitely gonna come out on top!" The boy glances at the two fighters in the arena. "I hope you're right about this Gray." She says, even more anxious then before. The two opponents nod in respect to one another before they both charge in, the fight has begun.

This is my first post here.
Altough I always have been interested in spirituality, my journey has begun some 5 years ago. With start I mean, looking at things differently. Feeling others energy. Receiving signs. Numbers, animals, finding things, feathers especially, synchronicities, you name it. Shifts happening around full moon or new moon. Meeting "bad" people which have pushed me to go way beyond my comfort zone. At the same time I've found some of the best people, they help me balancing the negative. I am growing in a very fast pace. It's painful yet amazing all at once. All of the above is happening to lots of people, there's nothing special about me.
My latest discovery is that my eye colour has shifted. They always have been brown. Now, I don't stare at myself very often but yesterday I did. In all available light, inside and outside. My eyes are now hazel. Brown around the pupils, green around the outside.
Have any of you noticed such changes in yourself?
Thank you!

Hi there!
I'm seeking out a specific fandom RP, please read on if you are interested in doing an RP based on the Gainax anime P&S with Garterbelt!
Because I'm excited from the news of a possible season 2, I would love to write something based on this underrated fandom. I believe the P&S universe is perfect for OC-based stories, where we could create clothes-themed characters with similar powers to P&S, or they could be a fairly normal duo with no connections to the sort of adventures we see in the show and get into some other sort of hijinks.
Although I think OCs would work perfectly, I'd also be willing to play canon characters from the show if that is my partner's preference. If we do go with original characters however, I think it'd be fun to create a paranormal fighting duo similar to P&S, but with a custom plot and different circumstances rather than angels in Daten City.
I would like to try to match the energy of the show as much as possible while keeping it unique. I'm looking for a story with over the top action, with crude and comedic themes, but with a cute and cartoonish aesthetic like P&S. I also think we should incorporate the themes of show and explore a pair of characters who compliment each other with contrasting personalities who engage in all sorts of debauchery.
If there are any P&S fans out there interested and willing to give this a try, please send me a DM here on reddit! Please be aware that I'm looking for a partner who wants to have a discussion about the plot before we dive into any roleplaying and I'd like to move to Discord after a certain point.

So I'd like to get a tattoo, and I want to be sure of the understood meaning and symbolism that will be displayed. I've come across interlaced pentacles before and I love how they add a bit of visual flair to a standard pentacle. However, I'm curious if there is an understood meaning for the "⛥" (right-hand interlaced pentagram) and "⛦" (left-hand interlaced pentagram). I assume there may be some relation to banishing vs. invoking? Maybe I should just get a standard flat pentacle?

However, this nightmare wouldn't end just yet. As the killer ran into the station after me; knife drawn and everything. He had to be out of his mind; it's as if the only thing that mattered to him was taking my life. "Hey, that freak's trying to kill me!!", I yelled out. The officers were quick to react and sprung into action. Within seconds tasers were drawn and the pumpkin masked killer was brought to his knees.
I swear he'd been hit about six times; regardless of this…he kept coming. Now on the ground, he gripped his knife and began crawling towards me. The officers were in shock; meanwhile I was freaking petrified. He crawled and crawled, wanting so desperately to reach me. Thankfully, his body would succumb to all of the electricity flowing through his veins. As he passed out right in front of me; it was finally over. The cops cuffed him up and pulled his mask off. His face was covered in deep scratches and sores. His curly red hair was matted and covered in grease. Everyone could tell this guy was sick; maybe he was on something.
I'd soon be brought to the hospital where I received eight stitches in my back. In the following weeks a lot happened. I was questioned by police, got to pay my respects at the old man's funeral. But things culminated when the trial started. I testified and recounted the entire bloody story. Meanwhile the killer sat with a huge smile as I took the stand. It turned out that he was a nutcase who was extremely obsessed with serial killers. He idolized people that brutally murdered others and wanted to start his own legacy.
Thankfully his bloody dream would never be realized. As he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in an asylum. I'll never forget his final words to me before being taken away in shackles. "Goodbye my little piggie, I'm gonna miss you!!!". I'd never see him again after that. While I was relieved, my life quickly changed. I joined a gym and got into shape; I also started taking self defense classes. I even carried a concealed weapon in case all else failed. I refused to become another statistic. The terror that I felt that night would not define who I am. Next time I was going to be ready, I was going to survive…no matter what.

I'm planning on releasing the first episode of an animated web-series on my site in about 3 months. If you want to create an .mp4 preview of your game and advertise it in the episode, let me know. It's my site, so I don't have to worry about ad space. I just can't except anything NSFW.
I'm also looking for studios or designers to design a game based on the series. If interested, let me know.
The ad should be story driven, and not just a walk though. A few cut scenes, a voice over narrator, and then some gameplay. Whatever style you want to advertise in, thematic wise, that's fine, just nothing NSFW.
If you want to see a sample of the animation for the series, here:
Animation test... I produced both A&V... Looking to collaborate... Need help with project : animation (reddit.com)
It's only a test so far. I plan to post updates as I go.

Hello everyone
What's dreamlook.ai?

• "Dreambooth as a Service": you upload your images, we train the model, you get a link to the checkpoint
• Launched in March with da_mulle: launch post
• We're FAST: train 1'200 steps in ~3 minutes!

➡️ https://dreamlook.ai

What's new?

• Support for image captions
• Can now train up to 20k steps on up to 200 images
• 3 new bases models: Realistic Vision V2.0, Protogen v2.2, Anything V3
• 5 free runs to ALL users until the end of the weekend!

In more details...
Support for captions
You can now upload a JSON caption file instead of training on a single instance prompt.
Sample format:

{ "myimage0001.jpeg": "ukj soda bottle on a wooden table in warm afternoon lighting, pine trees in the background", "myimage0002.jpeg": "two ukj soda bottles next to a tropical waterfall", ... } 

You can also give a list of strings to provide multiple captions per image. If some images don't have any caption, then the instance prompt is used as fallback.
Longer training runs
We have increased the max numbers of images from 100 to 200, and the max number of training steps from 10k to 20k.
We had to update the pricing a bit: runs now cost 1 token per 5k steps. This allows us to keep competitive prices for most users (>85% of run are under 5k steps) while making longer runs possible.
Since this halves the maximum number of steps that can be trained per token, we have doubled the balance of all existing users.
3 new base models

• Realistic Vision V2.0, the new update of Realistic Vision V1.3: https://civitai.com/models/4201/realistic-vision-v20

Let us know if there are some other models you'd be interested in (must be 1.5-based and not too naughty).
We are granting 5 temporary tokens to ALL users until the end of the weekend so everyone can try it out!

So I'd like to get a tattoo, and I want to be sure of the understood meaning and symbolism that will be displayed. I've come across interlaced pentacles before and I love how they add a bit of visual flair to a standard pentacle. However, I'm curious if there is an understood meaning for the "⛥" (right-hand interlaced pentagram) and "⛦" (left-hand interlaced pentagram). I assume there may be some relation to banishing vs. invoking? Maybe I should just get a standard flat pentacle?

Hi there! 18+ only please!I'm seeking out a specific fandom RP, please read on if you are interested in doing an RP based on the Gainax anime P&S with Garterbelt!
Because I'm excited from the news of a possible season 2, I would love to write something based on this underrated fandom. I believe the P&S universe is perfect for OC-based stories, where we could create clothes-themed characters with similar powers to P&S, or they could be a fairly normal duo with no connections to the sort of adventures we see in the show and get into some other sort of hijinks.
Although I think OCs would work perfectly, I'd also be willing to play canon characters from the show if that is my partner's preference. If we do go with original characters however, I think it'd be fun to create a paranormal fighting duo similar to P&S, but with a custom plot and different circumstances rather than angels in Daten City.
I would like to try to match the energy of the show as much as possible while keeping it unique. I'm looking for a story with over the top action, with crude and comedic themes, but with a cute and cartoonish aesthetic like P&S. I also think we should incorporate the themes of show and explore a pair of characters who compliment each other with contrasting personalities who engage in all sorts of debauchery.
If there are any P&S fans out there interested and willing to give this a try, please send me a DM here on reddit! Please be aware that I'm looking for a partner who wants to have a discussion about the plot before we dive into any roleplaying and I'd like to move to Discord after a certain point.
