>>44667450

Also, try putting that cloud layer over a gradient. Change the blending mode of the cloud layer to multiply (or whatever looks best) for really cool effects.

I'm probably gonna make a texture tutorial later on. Also, a gradient and 3D tutorial.

I already applied "color balance" whatever it's called twice. Three times looked unrealistic.
It happened on accident, I used color balance on a picture to make it blue, then I realized the text on the left side was different to the right.

The idea is to have textures above the gradient layer.

You can apply blending modes to anything, even text and strokes.

Then you're literally doing undergrad for 72 years, collecting 100+ degrees.

Seriously biology as a field of study is so spread out and designed to be so categorically specific via reductionism, that you'll more likely die of old age before learning every single specialized biology major.

I can't offer much advice other than how to design it in photoshop. Otherwise, the contents of the CYOA is entirely up to you. Feedback on a presentable project is one thing, advice on how to build it in the first place is another.

>>44668239
Most of the posts from last thread seems to indicate your biofriends are either in 1st or 2nd year.

Meaning they're all still doing the core science courses that everyone has to take.

Good luck on learning your redox reactions, lewis dot diagrams, punnett squares, base titrating into acid, acid titrating into base, base/acid titrating into buffer titration graphs, your quantum numbers, electrolylsis and babby's first thermodynamics, memorizing your glycolytic, Kreb's cycles, transcription, translation, DNA replication prcoesses as well as your animo acid protein structures. Baby's first proteomic analysis, bioassay, chromatography, spectroscopy and baby's first organic chemical reactions.

Hell if anyone of you are heavy into physics or chemistry, good luck learning your moecular orbital theory and basic quantum mechanics, inorganic chemistry or heaven's forbid inorganic membrane biiochemstiry.

Basic versions at A-level, more sophisticated in 2nd year.

I was pretty screwed in first year physics, though. Everything was easy enough except fucking rotations and torque.

What did you find hard about them? I did them in M2 during A-level (further maths)

>>44668492
Good, now memorize every major metabolic pathway in the human body, as well as each enzyme, their structure and the organic reaction that takes place.

Here's your proton, Carbon, IR and HETCOR specs, tell me the complete structure of the unknown compound accounting for every single peak you see.

Then do HLPC, GC and NMR and whatever anylysis I did not mention (Noting doing this will cost you marks), as well as UV chromatography on the unknown compound, write out a 100 page report citing all your sources and answering umpteenth and arbitrary discussion questions, that your TA who may or may not know the material as well as you, will mark them based on their academic bias and ignorance.

Oh and its due tomorrow.

I mostly focus on general foraging and movement behaviors. So far I've only done some work on feral goats, but I'm trying to direct myself towards working with seabirds or bats.

>>44668683
Depends, there are plenty of shitty high schools that don't teach that material.

>>44667450
Looks good! Glad it worked out for you. The other anon(s) have some good advice too on combining and layering textures for different effects.

>>44668701
That sounds pretty cool. I'm trying to get training in aquatic mammals research but it's horrendously competitive. I imagine feral goat research has a lot of money behind it, given agricultural significance?

>>44668531
While we're at this, my first year physics looked like this:
>Okay, here's some basics, about electrons, eletricity and related things. Now let's do some quantum physics, because if I don't manage to build that quantum computer one of you has to.

Needless to say that backfired tremendously during the tests, to the point our faculty decided our professor should get a bit of a time-out.

>>44668671
If its second or third year, probably basic Proton and carbon NMR mostly likely in deuterated chloroform solution. I didn't get a chance to do carbon NMR. I didn't want to go deeper then what was required.

If its fourth year, mostly the same shit but anaylysing much more complex compounds, if the college doesn't want the undergrads to touch the more expensive multi million dollar NMR machines.

You can clip a filter to the text layer by clicking between the filter and the text layer, you'll see a little arrow and it'll look like it's pointing at that layer.

OR you can just right click the text and choose a blending option and overlay a pattern or colors or a gradient etc.. and all those will affect the text layer.

Something to remember is that there are usually many different ways to do a same or similar effect in photoshop

>>44667611

#notallmedics

Genetics in medicine is coming to be a pretty big deal though. It's a good idea to look further into that area as early as possible.

>>44668735
Quite. They also have a rather iffy conservation status around here, so quite a few people want to see a more solid strategy put up. Good news for me, for the time being.

I can imagine how tough it would be with aquatic mammals, though. Most of the people I know tend to just get corralled into Ornithology or Entomology...

>>44668834
>He didn't even fucking know heterochromia was a thing.
Well, the only reason I know about it is because I have it, plenty of people at uni are surprised by it/don't know the fancy word.

>>44668817
The classes were okay, the hard ones I just bruted forced through with rote memory studying, I just had to deal with alot of administrative bullshit.

Like seriously, some the TAs that marked our exams and papers probably did high and drunk.

And if they're the pretentious teacher's pets that think they're way too fucking smart to make an mistake, it takes fucking months of arguing my case with the profs, course coordinators to get my shit properly evaluated and all my marks accounted for.

I lied it was more like 16 pages of actual writing and 84 graphs.

My god the graphs... they were full of stars and a kaleidoscope of colors. I think I tripped real hard editing one of my papers when I only had about 7 hours of sleep in that hell week.

I won't even touch upon organic chemistry snythesis reports I did, the full and half arrows just meld and dance on their own, if I look at them for too long.

So now that biochemists and medics have taken over CYOA general how do we please our new masters?

>>44669061
>tfw no engineering anons in cyoa

Because they're actually too god damn busy studying and the very few hours of down time they do have is spent drowning in gallons of alcohol and student debt.

Seriously I knew a mechanical engineer major, he literally spent 60+ hours per week working hsi ass off to pay for his ridiculously expensive tuition during the summer, and spent 70+ hours per week studying and grinding for exams during the semester. The times I don't see him studying/working or sleeping is spend playing minecraft. cuddling with his gf or drinking his worries away, because he just works better when slightly tipsy.

>>44669117

Anxiety issues. One girl that I helped out on a regular basis (she'd help me study, do homework, or work on lab reports) would bite/chew her fingernails, often until she bled because she was stressed. She, of course, didn't have a hobby outside of classes, and maintained a very poor social life with other chemistry majors. She also never got the A's she worked hard for or wanted, and would constantly fuck up her research. She's in grad school now funnily enough, I opted out to go and get a job.

The ones that we're fairly stable were already seeing someone else long term, so it's whatever.

The thing about my friend is, he's overloading every semester so he can finish his degree in 4 years instead of 5.

I worry about him because he also has cardiovascular issues that involves surgery down the line, which is made worse by the copious amounts of red bull and cheap tall boys he has been demolishing. I raised my concerns several times but he said he understands the risks he is taking.

I don't know how much of that decision is based on his own judgement or manipulate by his girlfriend.

The small kingdom of Maríen has always had trouble growing in population, with the rough winds making it difficult to grow crops anywhere but at the heart of the island.
The coasts are nothing but desolate sands where marauders and thieves tend to hole up. They rarely pose a large enough threat for the guardsmen to risk leaving the capital, and the president (or whichever you like) simply cannot afford hiring more men to take care of the problem.

>>44670104
how small, exactly, is the island?
Because you could do some
Only a single place on the island has a harbor; the rest is covered by nothing but cliffs. Only one, small part of the island, all the way to the west, is flat and large enough to hold a dozen houses.
The people of the island are taught to be hard workers, as the only way to survive is by everyone doing their best. They have many special crops you wouldn't find in other kingdoms, and they would surely be interested if the waters between the mainland and the island weren't filled with pirates / wasn't treacherous (take your pick)

Depends on how small and wht other geographic features it has, climate, bordering lands... many things influence culture, many things make kingdoms and bring them to fall.

That aside, meritocratic militaristic aristrocracy; spritual monarchy of forest dwelling hunters with a ¨better than you¨ attitude, half-anarchic semi-tribal feud-driven warrior culture, that does consist of dozen small villages that band together against larger threats like greece against persia; council and king reigned city of philosophers and engineers with smaller villages around the theritory whose battle strategy mostly consist of 'fuck off!' and outlasting their enemy in the field and behind huge walls; theocratic, reclusive mountain dwellers who live of the most impossible terrain and consider everyone else barbarians because they don't manage to raid their neighbors without them noticing.

>spoilered image
And here I got my hopes up.....
Yeah, I imagined something with a lot more cliffs. And less trees.

Aight. Coming up with royalty isn't easy, buddyboy. I don't know shit about it.
Not only is the Kingdom easily the one with the most beautiful scenery, with its vast [name for forest biome], the kingdom has the largest production of lumber. Were it not for the hardship [find better word] of shipping their [name of things you sell] to the mainland, the kingdom would easily hold a monopoly on the production. The people of [kingdom] begin working at a young age, save for a portion of the girls that are bought by the elite of society. The kingdom is run by a group of people, each representing their part of society [you know, like one guy stands for shipping with other kingdoms, one with politics, war etc.] - they spend very little of their time actually working, and most of their time with their many, young wives.
Please, by all means, feel free to remove the pedos. You wanted something with royalty, which I realize only now I fucked up hard.
Sorry.
>>44667872
okay, I've added two ways to become a girl (one lets you become a little girl), but no "your life is now anime".

>>44670772
Well >>44670842 has found it out. They would basically only survive by continually butt heads with everyone else.
I once explored this concept by having a world kingdom descent into a state of permanent inner war. It resulted in an empire of three kingdoms, ruled by the sme guy, continually in war with each other because that's how people get into position to rule in the first place.
It's sweetest irony. The place continually tears itself apart to continue to exist.

I think you can make pretty much any weapon imaginable so far.

>>44671150
You can copy a layer and fit it where you want it. When merging, I advise you take either layer and just softly brush the mask to marge double layers.

Also, if you want to take it to the next level, in >>44670311 I used a cloud brush, lowered the opacity on the cloud layer so it merges better with the background, then applied a colour layer over it.

>>44671094

But anon, hunters are the most dangerous game! It's all for the glory of the Master of the Hunt.

Just pay the coward tax. Then pray there's nothing like the Culling in the Convergence, as you'd be at a severe disadvantage for lack of experience. And don't feel too bad about paying the coward tax, it keeps you from being raped or tortured, and gives you a full vacation instead of half of one that the survivors get.

>>44671347
That was another anon, anon.

Okay I'll explain it easier.
You have a layer with that cloud effect, correct?
Right click it, press duplicate layer. After that, move it around and put it where you want it. If the duplicate layer doesn't merge nicely with the background, then apply a mask on the duplicated layer and use the mask to brush out any ugly parts.

>>44671347

>>44670311

The more I look at this, the more questions I have. For example: Can you change how your tribute points are invested or is this a one-time thing?

I want to assume some things you need only pay tribute for once, such as changing your physical form. Physiology, gender, age, beauty, paying for those every season should mean you can change them every season too. Exempt, Visitor, Vacation, and Private are iffy. I could see Visitor and Vacation being a one time investment too, but I'm not so sure of the others.

Likewise, homes, save for the Inn. Would they remain yours once paid for once, or are you just renting? Servants could be a one-time buy, as they're bound to you, and even if they're not you certainly shouldn't need to pay for their perks like an altered appearance unless you're changing it further.

It'd be nice to know if some things really are one-time buys, as then I'd know how many points of tribute are turned into gold after my first season, and how I could redistribute them if that's also allowed. I wouldn't mind being exempt for a year or two, to get my bearings, then using those points for a larger home later on.

>>44671938
>TFW the Culling is spent "man hunting"

It is possible to blend them together but also kind of a pain. Another trick you can do is copy your cloud layer and flip it horizontally so they match edges but it will be noticeable.

Leftover for gold per season - 20 coins.

I take the dragon soul specifically so I can combine it with Incarnation and Overpower if my first kill attempts go terribly awry. First thing to do is get a Pheonix under my belt so I can take the soul and have re-incarnation as a second fallback. To be perfectly honest, even with all that, I'll be relying heavily on ambush tactics, keeping out of sight, and plain old running away to get myself out of most scrapes early on before I've got real experience.

Goal two - make some friends. Being required to kill the two most powerful monster types means I'm also killing some of the rarest monster types. I'll need a network of information and backup to take down those critters while I gain experience fighting alongside others. Bounty and Club will be helpful for that, and letting my partners take the presumably rare materials while I first start out should prove suitable enticement without having to burn through my limited income.

Goal three - gain experience, as much as possible as fast as possible, in preparation for not only future hunts, but also the fourth goal.

cont.

>>44676901

Goal four - Survive the culling. No heroics, no murderhoboing - at least not the first year. Fight only when I have to, if I have to. Odds are good that I'll probably have to. Note to self - ambush tactics are your friend. Hopefully by this point I'd have a Strange soul to use for powerful illusions to throw people off the trail. At the end of the day, Overdrive and Nullification as a last resort while swapping over to a Phoenix soul that I hopefully haven't had to burn yet. If reincarnation is burned, Dragon Scales will have to suffice.

Goal five - repeat until I reach the skill to take on the Convergence. This will likely take years, and I'll almost certainly have to make a gradual switch from survivalist to hunter during the Cullings to get the combat and emotional training to withstand it. A lot of heinous acts in the name of the Master of the Hunt to grab his attention and prove my worth.

If I survive to retirement, I'll be a monster myself.

Just as planned.

It's currently chilling out in my CYOA folder because I work on it at my leisure. Writing is all done, just need to do the actual picture making part.

>>44676729
>>44677033
I'm not gonna continue it because I think the concept has been presented enough In DMITRY, even if it's not exactly what I envisioned. A completed LD would share too many similarities.

That said, I'm gonna use some of LD's resources and concepts to make a CYOA about building a fortress where you need to pick your personnel and logistics. It'll follow Star Dust's mindset in builds but much more simplified. Probably will be a mix between Overlord and Magic Realm.

This is after my next CYOA, though. And Souls CYOA is on hold for now. I decided to forgo doing it in favour of my upcoming Weapon Forge CYOA.

They were never meant to be easy to fit. I don't even bother listening to the crybabies who are upset they can't get the largest and most expensive ship with no drawbacks in a universe riddled with conflict, ancient aliens, crafty pirates, shady governments, and bored operators who like to fuck with people who like buying the biggest and kost expensive ships in the galaxy.

They aren't completely unviable, but you must know the risks.

I cannot confirm nor deny the existence of companions or the possibility that there is a beaver option. I will say however, that I will now be changing one of the companions to a moose. Why? Because it works dammit. I want not-your-average-animal companion, and you don't see moose too often

Glaive, mace, katar, rapier. I massively prefer variety to the standard fantasy dagger/sword.

so I'm planing on doing a star wars cyoa (using legends canon b/c new canon can go fuck itself).
Understanding that I don't have photoshop or anything similar or even the motivation to get it, should I just do something along the lines of TT and just make it in a word doc then convert to pdf later on?

Level Design was supposed to be humorous, in that you create a mary sue level BBEG who gets fucked in the ass by adventurers who are the 'main characters' of the world you're in. It was not meant to be a "realm" CYOA that it became.

In case you haven't noticed, I want all mary sues to die. My next CYOA will have a slight focus on killing mary sues.

>>44679810
The weapon crafting system was adopted into my next CYOA. Well, to tell you the truth, I was originally going to do this as an original CYOA, which I moved onto Souls CYOA, which I've now moved back to an original CYOA.

Don't worry, Souls CYOA is still a thing. I've already thought up of a unique crafting system for it. Won't be as in-depth as this one, but it'll still be pretty expansive.

>>44680070
Then perhaps you aren't building it right.

What drawbacks are you taking, what hulls, weapons, and crew?

Even if you manage to build something with a dreadnought, I'm going to penalize you on your fluff, because Dreadnoughts are viable 100% only through fluff. If you are seriously thinking of buying a dreadnought and going at it alone, I'm going to find your skull taped to a pirate's bow sometime in the next few months with your crew sold off as sex slaves. That is, unless you play it smart and get some friends. If you embed yourself into the Blackhawk Elite faction for example, you're likely going to get a lot of support and logistics from them. Then I will applaud you for not being fucking retarded.

This is all according to me, though. If you want to buy a dreadnought and call it viable for going at it on your space adventures with your waifu, more power to you.

And I have yet to see someone take this approach. For this reason, I believe Star Dust is a failure in regards to the dreadnought problem. I want to remove them completely, but you can imagine the shitstorm.

Yesterday I spent ~15 hours straight working on this CYOA. Slept at 5am... I think.

Today I spent another 6 hours CYOAing before I had to go out and meet some people. Now that I'm back I'm probably gonna be here for another few hours.

And I have a quest tomorrow.

Sorry to the katar anon. I'm not gonna include it on the original release, but I'm going to be adding DLCs to this CYOA (shield expansion, ranged weapon expansion, etc). So, perhaps I'll have an expansion or update later on that adds weird weapons like katars.

>>44680557
You are already my friend.

But, I put them in because they are technically canon in the setting. I just don't think people got the message of how much trouble they can cause.

They're more interested in getting the best equipment and beating other players' builds in dick size waving contests than figuring out how to make it work in the setting.

>Is there a reason why we're making weapons in the first place?
There will be virtually no setting. It's a generic high-fantasy backdrop introduced briefly in the intro.

The point of the CYOA is it's just a create-your-own-weapon game. There's no context, other than a hint that you can use it in other settings if you wish. I'm pointedly leaving out "CYOA" in the title.

>>44682339
Sounds perfect for the ancient weapon skill in Monster Hunter.

>>44680281
Well I never really posted my dreadnaught build with fluff. In my head cannon fluff I found the Herald Dreadnaught hull in an uncharted system then spent a great deal of time and effort raising the funds and making friends to get it fixed up and retrofitted into a usable state in relative secrecy. The original plan was for it to be an exploration and colony building ship seeing as I came from a Beatrice R&D back ground but shortly after I got it flying all the shit I'd done to it moving caught up to me in the form of the titles starting to kick in. Much adventure was to be had from their.

A lot of it is bloat that can be skipped outright.

Just grab the background that is the real you, sell all of your companion slots for credits.
And ignore the rest of the setting descriptions.
The Skills/Perks + Equipment + Disadvantages makes for a great CYOA.

>>44672759
I don't know how to feel about you whoring me out.

>>44683209
Anything involved with the Culling is retarded, and thus you should feel horrible for being invoked in relation to it.

>>44683257
Don't crush my dreams, you meanie.

>>44683282
Your dreams to be involved in something? But anon, you've already accomplished that by being here with us.

>>44683301
*something retarded

>>44683000
Grilled chicken, EX Crispy Tender, Green Beans.

Descriptions could use a little tightening up.

>>44683105

So basically bottom of page 6 - grab "The Watcher"
Then do pages 7 to 27

Alternatively just do the Skills, Perks, and Traits on pages 7 through 11.

With reasonable min/maxing you can get 18 without majorly screwing over yourself or the setting.

12 if you don't want to worry about any downsides.

Really the four and a half pages of Skills, Perks, and Traits is the best part of that CYOA and could stand on it's own Merits.
But there are certain things that equipment allows you to do that just isn't possible with Traits alone.
Then again, the equipment section is unnecessarily bloated almost as bad as the rest of the CYOA.

What the Traveler CYOA really needs is a good editor.

>>44683702
Just don't take the Lord's name in vain, dude. It's right there at the bottom. God!

The CYOA is implying Judeo-Christian cosmology pretty hard.

>>44668200
I started doing pixel art for the pictures a few threads ago, got about a third of the way through in one rush, and I've been sitting on it since then.

It's kinda hard to focus well enough to do half-decent sprite art when you're in bad pain, and I rolled my ankle, badly enough that I think I folded my foot over, a few days ago. I was having a moment of non-pain when I did what I did, but, well, I live with my mom, and she has a tendency to refer to me as a, "delicate flower," if I limp around, or try to stay off of my foot and let her handle things, like she keeps telling me to do(think about that for a second).

I'm on my feet more than I'm off of them, and it's not helping. Neither are basic pain killers. Acetaminophen do basically nothing for me unless I'm taking handfuls of them at a time, my last bottle of naproxen went past shelf life months ago, and my gout pills(indomethacin), which I was reluctant to take and worked wonders, ran out a couple days ago.

So, yeah, it'll get done, it's just a matter of when.

>>44668200
Slow as fuck, but faster than they're been going the last dozen months.

>>44683905

Hmm. Could be doable i suppose, especially with the 'Nosgoth' game giving lots of property to work with.

>>44684055
>>44684067
I know this is a joke, but I still feel the need to clarify:

I am serious when I say that she gets upset when I do what she tells me.

She tells me to stay off my foot. If I go to my room, so I can put it up on my bed, and ask her to do things I'd normally handle, that she hates doing, like cleaning out cat boxes, etc? I can hear her grumbling out a trite, "-Mommy- will handle it, -mommy- will handle -everything-."

The, "delicate flower," thing isn't an exaggeration, either; my dad mentioned it when he called earlier today, and mentioned that it was in response to me hobbling around, with my foot swollen up like it's retaining fluid. I can press down on the swollen part and leave an indentation that lasts for a few seconds.

You're right, though, it is funnier the way it showed up, despite you having blown it.

>>44684600
Though that one was perhaps the worst entry into that world... at least it stuck to it's source material and it's aesthetics

>>44669730
No mask! No mask!

>>44684662
You know you can move out, right?

>>44684740
Physically? Yeah. Fiscally? No one in my area's hiring, I wasn't allowed to have a job in high school, my only work history is worthless, I was screwed out of my drivers' license, I have less than a hundred dollars to my name, and the only friend that I could move in with lives sixteen hours away.

>"Weren't allowed," to have a high school job?
My mom didn't think I needed a job and wanted to foster a bit of parental dependency in me so I'd have to rely on her for stuff. My dad was still vainly hoping to put the marriage back together, so he went along with everything she said, even after saying it'd be great if I got a job. Sounds like a quality problem to have, right? Most parents force their kids to get a job. Sucks for later in life, let me tell you.

>Why is work-study worthless as job history?
Because work-study terms last less than a year, since they have to actually terminate your employment and re-hire you for Summer, if they re-hire you at all. People looking at the job history you use on your resume will see, "lasted less than a year at this job," assume you got fired, and toss your resume.

>How did you get screwed out of a drivers' license?
Mother dearest wasn't ready to let me drive when I was sixteen. So, instead of just voicing this opinion like a rational adult, she decided the best way to do it was passive-aggressively. By refusing to take me on days I was actually ready to take the test. Dyslexia is a bitch; in my case, if it doesn't hold my interest, knowledge lasts, maybe, a day, but I still feel like I know it. When I passed, by sheer fluke, she just ran out the time on the learner's permit while blaming me for it. I'd ask a couple times a week, and had no other way of getting there.

So, yeah, could I leave? Sure. Should I leave? No. I'd end up as a street vagrant, or have to move back in, in a month, probably less than that. And then I'd have that failure hung over my head like a trophy for her to remind me of.

>>44684862

Different anon here, gotta ask though I normally don't. How old are you, anon? I've got a feeling you're relatively young, not even at your mid 20's yet. Early, at most, 22.

>>44684862
Yeah if you don't get a job as a teenager you're basically fucked. I couldn't work as a teenager because of a series of surgeries that hobbled me, and now I can't land a job at all because no experience. Great life I got going on here.

>>44668200
Need to finish complications but I've been taking a break for work related issues.

>>44684894
Twenty-seven.

I'm betting the fact that I couldn't tell you the names of my two work-study supervisors, or the phone numbers to their desk phones, if I had a gun to my head doesn't help either. The first one, back when I was eighteen, refused to use my middle name even after I gave it to her and asked her to, so I put very little effort into learning hers. Michelle something? Maybe.

The other one I never had much interaction with. You only had to talk to her if you fucked up, or something important needed doing. I didn't fuck up, and only had to do important stuff a couple of times. I think her name was Sharon? That one I could look up, but she's at a different position, of her own admission doesn't remember me(remember: didn't have any need to interact with her), and the last time I tried to correspond with her, asking for her to act as a reference, she tossed a canned e-mail my way:

>"We here at <college> would love to work with <company I was trying to get hired at>! You can contact us at these numbers to be part of our next job fair!"

I stared at the screen dumbfounded for a few minutes after I got that reply.

>>44684735
that reminds me. This probably isn't the best place to ask, but if I wanted to read about Cthulu and Nyarlothotep and those guys, where should I start?

>>44685020
>Twenty-seven.

Well shit, you're my age. It's not hopeless, but hell, you might actually be in a slightly better position than I am, believe it or not. See I've actually worked real jobs, factory stuff, but I've got a six year gap in my employment history. Left for college, dropped for reasons, did some freelance stuff here and there while dealing with family reasons. NEET life's a hard trap to fall into, and with a gap like that employers are going to look at me like I'm an ex con, despite the fact that I've never even been in the drunk tank. You might have a similar reception, but since your experience is all work-study it's more likely that you'll be seen as having never worked a real job before. We're both pushing it, gotta get out there and try for anything you can get. Just remember, it's all about attitude. Make it to the interview and go in believing it's nothing but a formality, that you've already got the job. Should help you relax, and if you ask "When do I start?" when they ask if you've any questions it should basically seal the deal if you're calm enough to mean it.

Worst case, get good at art, pick a fetish niche (furries are easy, underrepresented fetishists pay gold for even shit quality work out of desperation from what I've heard) start a Patreon, and produce content more regularly than Akabur. Not really a great long term solution, or something you can directly throw on a portfolio in most cases, but it should give the skills to make a proper portfolio you can share with potential employers to say that's what you've been doing all this time.

Oh, I know about the interview tricks. I'd love to even get an interview. Remember the friend that lives sixteen hours away? He lived here for about a year, and he drove; every week or two, we went out and did the rounds, picking up applications, filling them out right then, and handing them in. It was fun, went to a lot of places I wouldn't have otherwise, including a Good Will, and a small-time video game store specializing in console games.

Hell, I got to the interview step at one job application I went to. Showed up in nice
clothes, talked, it was as a door-to-door salesman, selling high-quality kitchen knives. Good shit, too. Nice feel to the grip, metal was good quality. I got picked up from that job application, by mother dearest, after the introductory seminar, which took about two hours, and was slated to go back in a couple of hours for the interview, to pick up the book I'd be selling stuff out of. He actually told me that it was basically a formality, because out of the people there(about eight), I actually was one of the few he liked.

I was told that I wasn't allowed to go back. Mother dearest claimed she didn't like the fact that it was run out of a smaller building on a back road and started making shit up about it, saying that, "people she'd talked to about it," had complained about payments going missing and shit like that. I'd been on it for, maybe, two days. She sleeps during the day and works at night. Doesn't take a brain surgeon, or even a philosophy major(hello), to see the logical holes in that line of bullshit.

On the plus side, I may have a future in hating people to death. She was unloading the dish washer earlier and a crystal bowl fucking exploded when she picked it up. It had been off for long enough that it should have cooled down, as well. And, if not me, then someone else in this thread has the honor of being this world's first psionic assassin.
