Props For:
Huge props to the guy who smashed his Escalade into my parked (and empty) 2015 Subaru yesterday. He wrote an apologetic, sincere note with his phone number and called his insurance company to report the accident. One hour after the accident (my wife was in a meeting at her office and had no idea what happened), his insurer called me to tell me they had an appointment set up with a quality local body shop, and had arranged for a rental car to be waiting at the body shop for my wife to drive.
Kind of sad that I feel lucky that this person was doing the right thing, but here we are. Damages are exceeding $4k and we won't have to pay a dime.- Wow. Props to that guy and the insurance company. I didn't know anyone who was supposed to would choose to be that helpful.CyBrainX
- That's a rare human being... can't tell you how many dings / dents / gouges are in my still bank-owned vehicle after 3 years of usage :/PonyBoy
- A neighbor got his driver's side door crushed in in a parking lot a few weeks ago. No note. $4k+ in repairs.mg33
- I did this too the ONE time i backed into a parked car. Felt good to do the right thing even if it cost me more in the long run.monospaced

- lol mg me too, thought the same. It's a shame because the episodes are so damn good._niko
- Skip the dildo episode :DAkagiyama
- Yep, can't wait!grafician
- @mg33 flol, did you not see any of the other volumes? There's like one child-friendly ep, and it's about robo tourism after the death of humanity.garbage
- "Jibaro" from season 3 still sticks in my head. Amazing animation. Scavanger's Reign seemed like an LDR episode turned into a series.Akagiyama
- I am a few episodes into Scavenger's...visual... stunning, but plot too randomgrafician
- I've never even heard of this before but will check it out.mg33
- SR stitches the different plots together toward the end.i_monk
- SR is top notchgarbage
- @mg33 there are a few misses, but Three Robots, Zima Blue, The Secret War, Beyond the Aquila Rift, Bad Traveling, Jibaro.. tons of hits.garbage

The difference between someone who has made it — or at least worked at legit shops — often comes down to one thing: the ability (or inability) to take criticism.
The evolution usually goes like this...
Infantile: “I got a job at a great place. I must be awesome.”
Youthful Hype: “This place is cool, and the clients are big — but wow, there’s a lot of talent here.”
Awkward Teen: “I love telling people where I work. But damn, I haven’t sold anything yet. Am I even good?”
Getting Real: “That Creative Director just shredded my concept... and they were right. I should stop taking everything so personally.”
Grounded: “That feedback was legit. It’s not about me — it’s about the work.”Experienced: “I’ve sold some things. I’ve failed on some. Either way, I’m open. Let’s make it better.”
Zen Mode: “Creativity isn’t constant. Some projects hit, some don’t — and that’s okay. It’s not about defending every pixel. It’s about the result. The goal. The growth.”
Graf, when you 'stand by your work' like it's untouchable, without recognizing the difference between what’s good and what’s just... there, you’re not showing confidence — you're showing you’re stuck.
Still defending your output like a fragile badge. Still reacting like feedback is an attack, not an opportunity. That’s not Zen. That’s still Infantile Mode with a portfolio.
If you’re really as seasoned as you act, you’d know: standing by mediocre work without self-awareness isn’t bravery. It’s just blindness dressed as pride.

Grafician Hate Why?
You all need a hobby.

Grafician Hate Why?
Oooooft.
These fine examples of grafician's work have Red Dot award, ADC nail, and Cannes Lion Grand Prix written all over them.
Bravo, sir. Bravo.
We prostrate ourselves at the feet of your immense talent.

None of that stale shit.palimpsest - This is FRESH!Continuity

¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯grafician - < and yes, these are some of my works, apparently presented here without any context
*facepalm*grafician - I just LOVE to design logos and iconography!grafician

It's the genuine article.Continuity - Here's some context for you:

"better yet, let's see your latest works you monkeys"
- graficianOK, chief. I'm game!
I've created tools to enhance the QBN experience. I've also made the data available to others willing to do the same.
https://observablehq.com/@palimp…What the fuck have you built for QBN lately?
- He never acknowledges any criticism because... facing the truth would damage his made up persona...canoe
- he wasnt talking to you.. you are a snake not a monkey...neverscared
- Right, so you write some code, anything else?grafician
- exactly ... code doesnt count...neverscared
- shoot a deer or hunt a rabbit and make us a meal..not some code...neverscared
- Moving the goalposts again I see.
I'm still waiting on those web buttons.palimpsest - I should add code written years ago because he is no designer, no creative, posts weird stuff, thinks he is on 4chan or whatevergrafician
- pali, just *look at this award-winner right here. LOOK!
https://i.haasie.com…Continuity - Not changing any goal posts, post creative work, this is designer's forum
Do you have anything creative to post?grafician - I just did.palimpsest
- ^ And there you have it again.palimpsest
- u have to drink blood to impress a romanian - dracul style - the only way to gain some respect... its long embedded in their history.neverscared
- So you consider some old code your contribution to this wonderful creative forum?
LOLgrafician - #fuckthatoldcodeneverscared
- just kidding..neverscared
- We are all waiting to see the high standards of work you put us in your own work.palimpsest
- I've said this before: If there's something I'm proud of in my mediocrity is knowing the value of my work.palimpsest
- No, you just have to mind your business
Also post something creative
That hard?grafician - Exactly, how hard is it?palimpsest
- Post some logos, posters, anything design?
Can you do that? Do you do anything creative?
Are you just a coder? Dev?
Working with startups? Agency exp?grafician - Fax your creative work over if you're having problems posting it. I'll do it for you.palimpsest
- So you don't have anything creative to add?
Ok "chief" got it, you're just a geek, with no creative experiencegrafician - Still waiting on that creative work, chief.palimpsest
- I've shown you mine.
Now you have performance anxiety?palimpsest - No, you've shown ZERO creative stuff :))
If you think some scripts that scrap QBN written years ago make you important...grafician - ... he says, without even a hint of irony.
https://i.haasie.com…
https://i.haasie.com…Continuity - Here's the thing, I never made these to feel important. They were meant to be truly shared.
You asked us to post work and that I did.palimpsest - If you don't see anything creative in the idea of enhancing the community that's on you.palimpsest
- LOL
"anything creative in the idea of enhancing the community"
HAHHAHAHAHAAHHAH
THIS IS TRULY AMAZINGgrafician - "They were meant to be truly shared."
So @palimp WHO exactly is USING these scripts you call your "creative" work?
Are these people in the room with us?grafician - Surely you have a final product you’ve shipped graf? You call yourself a senior, so surely you have designers who report to you on products that ship?monospaced
- You’ve been here for years. At some point you must have been promoted to a higher level where you are responsible for designing actual client work.monospaced
- I saw these guys posting some screenshots and icons. Not terrible but I don’t see a design direction.monospaced
- I work as an IC directly with the founders, no need to manage any teams, no need for promotions. Going into management after some years of work is not ideal.grafician
- You don't see a "design direction" because I don't post full case studies, and these guys just posted some public available works that I upload to dribbblegrafician
- This month will be working on a medical app for dental labs across the EU. Last couple days I already designed the mobile app.grafician
- And yes, I can still post on QBN and ALSO do full work, but I never felt the need to update you on my business.
I really don't care about QBN opinions anywaygrafician - ofcmonospaced
- You really come off as someone who can put ego aside and act like a true adult. Kudos to taking the high road.monospaced
- Classic graf — demand creative work, mock it when it’s posted, doesn't put out and pivots to 'I don’t care about QBN opinions anyway'canoe

Punches For:
Probably me, but moreso - Amazon Prime. Firstly: I need to cancel my subscription, which I just set up prior to xmas to get three months free Prime so I could last-minute order presents for Ze Child. It's April now - I've paid for a month. D'oh.
Now, for the Punches for:
What exactly IS the TV bit of Prime? My kid's gotten into Tom and Jerry, so I Googled and found places that show it - one of which is Prime, so I thought "Ok, I can use that for the last month I'll have it" but nope - you have to pay for it. Wut. I knew it did that with movies, havng borrowed a friend's account a while back, but Tom and fucking Jerry? Literal 80-year old content? I can't recall what the cost was, but it was like £2+ an episode. *hands in air*
So I did what every right-thinking person should do, I Torrented about 6Gb worth, so the kid'll be fine for a wee while.
I just don't GET it.
- They are a store and sell tv shows and movies. SOME content is free, but a lot is just for rent or for sale. Lots of other platforms do this too.monospaced
- yeah, its very odd. i saw a film was listed on there recently and instead of a play button there was a button to subscribe to apple tv to watch it...kingsteven
- i just did a trial of amazon music because i was traveling and it has incredibly bad algorithmic music choices. shit you would just never put togetherkingsteven
- somehow they killed the highstreet yet replaced it with a giant online pound-shopkingsteven
- its not that confusing... the xtra pay conntent is marked with a special icon.. like extra channels. mgm- apple ..etc... seems pretty straightforward to me...neverscared
- but highly likely its not kidsproof if they wanna have fun and watch freely without financial consequences...neverscared
- Ok, cool. But why are people seemingly happy to pay for that? I'm out, but i'm still wonderingNairn
