Nah, it'll be fine; my new favorite drink at the coffee shop is four shots of espresso, mixed with a shot of chocolate syrup, then shaken over ice...

Well, they have messed with the recipe for the iced mocha cordado - it *was* two shots, shaken with chocolate syrup and a small amount of milk, but now its mostly foamed milk. so decided to skip the milk entirely and just go with espresso shots and syrup :)

They also don't have a variable grind cone grinder so can't do the proper ristretto shots a cortado should have, but *shrugs*

And I'm here thinking about policies of isolation:

  • If something takes too long to explain, it's not worth sharing or continuing
  • If you have something to share and no one shows interest, it's not worth sharing
  • If someone has an idea more popular than yours, yours is not worth implementing, no matter what
  • It is not worth the time explaining something others won't be able to understand
  • It is better to be unknown than to be unwanted

I know too well how I operate with others. Too often I work better in isolation and too often I'm forced to do so.

Usually if it takes too long to explain, you need to understand it better :)

Nope .If you have something to share, and those you share it with show no interest, then either you shared it to the wrong people or at the wrong time.

Again nope. Popularity doesn't reflect value, and value doesn't reflect popularity.

Windows is pretty sucky, but IS popular (not as popular as *nix of course, but that's a recent thing :D )

See first point. however, its amazing how invested people can be in not understanding something if it contradicts what they want to believe.

Ah well, I can agree with that one, but then, I AM an introvert :)

adding more people to a team increases team complexity - it rarely helps a time crunch, as the time lost bringing someone new up to speed and getting productive work out of them is usually more valuable than the actual work output gained.

I think it was a bit obvious, yes.

but at least here it literally writes "art contest winner" under your name every time you post, :D

Oftentimes I dwell on mistakes nonstop.

Unless I can make a writing style work the same way as my art styles, I don't wanna bother with writing...

I'm not good with dialogue because it often reflects my own speaking style; if I use that, it'll be full of quirks that are simply seen as errors. Stream of consciousness suffers the same problem but is slightly more workable since there's no character to character interaction.

I have more experience with drawing than writing that I know when I'm being told unworkable advice (my no-advice policy still stands, even if it makes me unpopular with the self-proclaimed "true artists"), but writing is so underdeveloped that being told I'm doing something wrong is like being told my life is wrong.

I should've stuck with computer science, shouldn't I?

That isn't uncommon; the Guardian story Alexshy is writing has a very distinctive syntax, shall we say :)

I already drove writing into the ground many times before. Many times I've concluded that it's best left that way.

I tried an all-dialogue story once but found it to be too synthetic (for lack of a better word) to be believable. I found that a no-dialogue story would be more workable, then SOC.

I dont wanna hear another argument over how RYB and past tense has been the standard for centuries, and any such persons forcing me to follow tradition, well, they'd better give up on me now.

Disclaimer: no one's had a problem with me using present tense so far...

So how bad do things have to be for...?o

Not sure what this is trying to say, to be honest?

Also, is it fair to ban feedback because people keep giving unusable advice?

No, sadly. you need to learn to tune out unwelcome advice, because most people are full of it (double meaning intended)

Thorax lost Pharynx in the dark. Or Pharynx ran away.

I've been known to make needlessly strict policies; I've recently made several posts outside of here that said stuff along the lines of "these stylistic decisions are not made in error and are a prominent feature of my art style; do not suggest anything that undoes any of those choices" and "I don't wanna keep defending my choices every time I ask how I did"...

I also don't know what art style my thing is; i never got an answer...
