ThickAsThieves: i once printed seps for an album cover on
the newspaper's hardware where i wored
deadweasel: "i want all niggers.txt screened out of my
t=shirt, please."
nubbins`: and
then
the poor client pays me $xx/h
to recreate
the goddamn image from scratch
nubbins`: "ahh,
the guy who prints it can figure
that out"
nubbins`: is
that none of
them understand print
nubbins`: the
thing about "graphic designers"
that fucking pisses me off
nubbins`: not even converted
to spot colors
nubbins`: "yeah my artwork is ready
to go"
deadweasel: i can't make it up if I havne't followed
the story.
deadweasel: and just what do
they want
to
talk with you about? :)
deadweasel: who exactly from rift do you want
to
talk
to?
nubbins`: i almost wept when i saw
the first set of separations accurip spit out
nubbins`: tried
to get away without using one for so long
nubbins`: the image
trace options in cs6 are fuckin great
tho
ThickAsThieves: but
the keystrokes and
tools and like everything for vector editing in corel is just better imo
nubbins`: it just barfs at
the output step
nubbins`: generally just use gimp with a wacom
tablet
these days
nubbins`: "we want some posters made, here's a list of
things we like: interrobangs, lasers, robots, etc"
ThickAsThieves: my mom used
to work painting separations of
textile patterns onto acetate plastic sheets by hand
nubbins`: the best jobs are where we're given free reign over
the art
nubbins`: well. we have a printer
that can print color (6
tanks!)
nubbins`: we explicitly do not own a color printer for
this very reason
nubbins`: often
the artist and
the printer work hand-in-hand
nubbins`: or at
the very least, had a hand in its production
ThickAsThieves: well
the concept is
that people want
to know
the artist stood
there and made
the
thing
nubbins`: people have a lot of
trouble with
that point
nubbins`: compared
to linocut, monotype, serigraph, etc, where
the prints ARE originals
KRS|gotyawallet: Wonder how long
til
the Serbians get on board with
their own bitcoin wallets.
ozbot: One
Third of Kenyans Now Have a Bitcoin Wallet | Motherboard
nubbins`: and each print is unique, as
the linoleum squishes around and wears down
nubbins`: and
then finding out
they're fuckin giclees
ThickAsThieves: to me, i'd either want
the original, or a good-enough print
to look pretty on
the wall
nubbins`: nothing worse
than seeing people selling small "prints" for $50 each
nubbins`: to compare a giclee
to a linocut or a serigraph is
truly
taking
the piss
nubbins`: but
they're worth
the cost of
the paper and inks, plus maybe $20
nubbins`: oh, sure, sometimes. but
that's still just dicking around on
the computer
nubbins`: producing a giclee involves making sure your ink cartridges are
topped up, and clicking a mouse
nubbins`: producing a print
takes skill and effort, and each one is usually a unique piece
nubbins`: they're closer
to color photocopies
than anything
nubbins`: no, and in fact, i don't consider giclees "prints" in
the
traditional sense of
the word
nubbins`: tat, i have much
to say on
the subject of prints
ThickAsThieves: i know many artists
try
to sell prints for ridic prices
nubbins`: ah, yeah, i
think
the other size is a print
nubbins`: i like
to imagine him painting
these with a huge rambo knife, rather
than a palette knife
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves well if it's f2p it ain't
that major namean ?
Namworld: There's only one quality IPO coming up. Calm your horses and

to start with
the studio probly
deadweasel: mircea_popescu:
ThickAsThieves , I'm at work, give me a general starting link and I'll see.
ThickAsThieves: was harder
to find him saying his catchphrase
than i
thought itd be
nubbins`: pretty much
the definition of scam
mircea_popescu: "but i vbought
the game fair and square!!11 why can't i play it on my
toaster!11"
mircea_popescu: you suppose anyone accused
them of scamming because
they don't also provide you with internet ?
mircea_popescu: Gameplay requires: (1) INTERNET CONNECTION (SOLD SEPARATELY), AND (2) ACCEPTANCE OF LICENSE AND USAGE
TERMS.
mircea_popescu: deadweasel baby, can you ferret out
the owners of rift ?
nubbins`: unless you
think
there's some sort of catch
to using both of
those
things?!?!?!
nubbins`: like google, and
that guy who offered
to help me install
that btc security software on my computer
nubbins`: hey, some of
the best
things are free
nubbins`: you could actually probably completely re-skin catan
to have a btc
theme
nubbins`: or a btc
themed settlers of catan, not sure
nubbins`: would play a settlers of catan
themed btc game
TomServo: I was
thinking of "Rifts" anyhow.
TomServo: Appears
to be unrelated. I haven't played it.
TomServo: mircea_popescu:

trust link is green now?!
nubbins`: that's essentially what virtex's debit cards do, but with automatic conversion of btc
to fiat
