PCP is basically the same high as taking so much caffeine you started to see hallucinations and you didn't throw up....first.

Antone has any advice to deal with back/column pain after prolonged PC use? I am in the middle of a time crunch with an animation and my back is just fucking killing me....

I deal with chronic pain issues. The best bet without medication is to take a long hot bath with epsom salt. It might loosen up the muscles and help with any spasms you might be having. You might be spending too much time in the chair without taking breaks to stretch. If you are going long periods of time without food and water that can do damage in other ways. Aleve seems to help me the most with pain like that as far as over the counter medications go. Which isn't really much, but it can take the edge off.

No, too much "hey this girl is getting eaten, that's the best time to show off her panties and bouncing boobs with ahegao face!" But that might just be the anime.

Dunno, never watched the anime. All I'd say is that they never shied away from any panty shots or breasts when showing their walking dead, but they didn't sexualize it at all. That was strictly reserved for the walking living. Some sick or all-too serious characters would comment on body or or articles worn by the shamblers, e.g. "Man, check out the rock on that one's finger!" and "This one's pretty cute. Shame, really." right as they put them out of their misery, but the panels themselves didn't try to make a thing of it.

Back to the discussion of pain, anyway...
 
In lieu of not havign a bathtub I took a nice hot shower, did some stretches while showering too (You are welcome guys for that Mental image) and I think it's just what I needed. Thanks.

Now back to unhealthy sitting positions for another 40 hours.

Glad to help. Now get your ass back to work. ;)
 
Ugh, hot baths and hot showers.... gross. I'm in a miserable state right now as the summer weather has crept in, so the thought of MORE heat of any kind just disgusts me. Crank the water to fully cold, and it's still not all that cold. Whereas leaving it straight down the middle between "hot" and "cold" in the midst of winter would produce a lukewarm temperature from a faucet, in this heat, I can have it set to 75% cold and it's already hotter than that. ~_~

About the only times I indulge in any hot water are when I take a small plastic bin and fill it with piping hot water and place my feet in it until it turns room temperature. An unfortunate consequence of my biology being poor lower body circulation, my feet are slowly dying, starting with gradual numbness I can detect in my left foot- thanks in part to my hypersensitivity -which doctors aren't at all worried about, but which leaves the rest of my foot feeling quite painful most of the time... and it's gradually moving to the right foot, as the years go by. Days when it's at its worst are pretty much the only times I'll apply the hot water method, and for me it's mostly to force more circulation rather than relieve pain. But full baths or showers? Blegh...
 
Here is cold as tits, under 9º C at night and 11ºC during the day and it's been raining since Friday. So a hot shower is pretty relaxing.
 
Summer arrived around here. And I can't stand temperatures above 20°C. Makes me wish for nuclear winter.

You southern people have no idea what cold is.

When visiting my family in Spain, I am lucky enough to have an AC installed in the room I use, and I set it to 16C in order to combat the intense Mediterranean heat.

Without it, I wouldn't function. During the day I can tolerate the heat, because I know that I'll reward myself with a night of fresh breezes
 
Not really helpful to share something that's private. =P

But I bitch to a New Yorker friend all the time about how hot it is and he likewise bitches about how cold it is. I'd HAPPILY trade Southern Hemisphere weather with mine, but unfortunately that's not really... physically possible. XD

Ideally, I'd love to have 2 homes, one on each side of the Equator, so when it starts warming up, I can just move to my "now winter home". But I don't know of any countries South of the Equator that I'd like to live... Australia WAS one of my original prospects, before I realized they're terribly afraid of video games and their internet is shit AND they have gigantic fucking spiders and birds that just dive bomb you seasonally. So fuck Australia.....
 
Aren't private videos the ones you can share with the link? Thought they could be seen.

well I made them Public now. Why did it take so long for 8 seconds of animation? No IK Solvers.... that was fun....

People want to ban Gone With the Wind?

http://www.theguardian.com/film/201...e-with-the-wind-should-be-banned-from-cinemas

What the hell is wrong with people? People keep joking about book burnings but how close to that have we gotten? No one can argue that racism is a problem in America today, but I'm not sure Gone With the Wind is inspiring any KKK terrorists to murder black people. Movies can portray certain things without endorsing them. This almost sickens me really. Why are people so quick to destroy our history?
 
Well recently there was this news about google apologizing for their automated Google Photos search option confused a photo of an african american couple as gorillas. While this sounds rellay wrong, google apologizing over it is pretty fucking stupid, Google photos is a search engine with an algorithm based on color, shapes and it extrapolates it to existing photos, it's not like there is a Google employee 24/7 sitting there analyzing your photos for you for there to either be an outrage or for that to demand an apology....
 
I can't even click on the thing, I cringe in embarrassment for those idiots.... Talk about not even getting how the internet works nowadays....

The Digital Homicide dude is so clueless it hurts. I'm embarrassed for him. He actually asks his friend next to him "How did I do?" right before the video ends. You did very bad. It would have probably been better to say nothing. This is why developers should keep their mouths shut unless they have people skills. I wonder if his career will ever take off?
 
That game was just beyond incompetent, they didn't even search for Blood splatters that had the correct alpha channels or transparencies before putting them in the game.... The guy probably thought he was gonna make a quick buck for no effort and is just being a diva to troll people.... or he actually has some hardcore mental deficiencies....

I think he just wants to peddle cheap shitty games. He is a bit of a dumb shit though. I love how the points he tried to make were all garbage. I'm surprised Sterling didn't blow a head gasket.
