    I might be wrong, but this seems to be the mechanism of those lenses: red-green color deficiency is caused by the frequency ranges of a person's red and green receptors being jammed closely together. This makes red and green look similar or identical, especially where there's more overlap (which seems to be near the peak of red and green, meaning the colors are most similar when they're the most intense). The lenses work by cutting out light in the overlapping frequencies and emphasizing the ranges where they're only detecting green or only detecting red, making red and green more clearly different. Pretty cool.

    My god everything about this movie is top shelf material, not a single missed note. I never saw it coming. Distinct and rad characters, interesting world with no fluff, nonstop dynamic action turned up to 15.

    And John Seale is a legend, film is gorgeous. Go figure, him & George miller are about 70, I guess it takes a couple vets to make a movie this good.

    Sorry, gushing!

    How important is it to have seen previous Mad Max films? I've only seen the first one.

    According to the movie thread in SE++, no prior Mad Max knowledge is necessary.

    I also have only seen the first Mad Max- and merits of the film aside (I can't remember anything about it other than the ending scene), it definitely wasn't a great viewing experience- I'd been hearing about Mad Max for years and so I rented it to watch with a bunch of friends on New Years', and we were all set for this amped-up crazy action movie...but it turns out that almost everything iconic about the films, and all of the much-hyped craziness, apparently occurs in the later movies. :/

    I feel like the first Mad Max and the first Rambo movie should come with a warning on the front to first time viewers, that they might want to pick up the sequels instead if they want the version they may be familiar with from pop culture. For all I know the first Mad Max is a better movie than the sequels (much as First Blood is a better movie than the other Rambo movies when evaluated in terms of plot/character/drama), but that viewing I was just so chomping at the bit for the much hyped CRAZY STUFF and being disappointed that it never came, that I couldn't really process the movie on its own merits.

    I'm stuck on ideas for a few illustrations I need to complete for a client soon. It's gonna have a little cartoon animal involved in them, so they won't be super big detailed works. Perhaps you guys can share your thoughts?

    What kind of images do you get when you hear "self-critical"? My only real idea for the first is someone looking into a mirror, but that could end up looking a little self-absorbed or TOO self-critical in the extremely negative sense, i.e. eating disorder.

    Watch Road Warrior if you want to get a feel for the aesthetic and general conceit, but yeah as far as I know you don't have to have seen any of the earlier ones to enjoy the new one.

    The first film is flawed but has some really cool ideas. With a proper budget the sequels were PROPER RAD.

    Mad Max 1 had some PROPER RAD happeneings behind the scenes though: cameramen clinging to motorbikes driving in excess of 180km/h, a military rocket strapped to a car which completely misses the target and flies towards the cameramen, real biker gangs paid in beer, and like five people broke their legs. Pretty stupid stuff really but you can't say they wasn't hardcore

    Why do I keep trying to convince myself that, one day, I'm really going to like game franchises that I've never been good at and never really got into despite repeated attempts.

    BTW I am terrible at Street Fighter 4. And Street Fighter 2. And by extension, probably Street Fighter 1, Street Fighter 3, Street Fighter 2010, and though I thought I got through watching the Jean Claude Van Damme Street Fighter movie ok, I'm sure that I probably somehow did that all wrong as well.

    I guess I just have to accept that my fighting game skills will always be limited to playing Soul Calibur 1, on the Dreamcast, against people that also don't play many fighting games, specifically playing it in sumo mode. (This is where you change the settings to have the matches have infinite time and the fighters have infinite health, so the only way to win is via Ring Outs.)

    Learning that I wasn't good at fighting games (because no one is, initially) and did not care to take the (considerable) time to become good was a weight off my shoulders. It also meant I, like my other friends, could stop playing against our one friend who was taking the time to become far far too good.

    I saw it tonight and I can say you don't need to know anything about the Mad Max world to follow along. The idea behind it is simple. The execution is outstanding. Can we have blind rock guitarists blasting music from flaming electric guitars on stages propped on top of semi-trucks leading the charge into battle everywhere IRL plz?

    I could seriously stare at these all day. I remember seeing another artist desparate robots posted doing a similar thing with slightly animated "slice of life" style gifs. So effective when done well.

    instagram is the one platform where I told myself I wasn't going to care. So I only follow my friends and don't tag anything on it. I've seen that DMAC has transitioned into it well.

    You can basically maintain all the social media you want these days, I would just pick one and commit to it, personally. I enjoy tumblr the most, so I use that.

    I get more attention from random people on instagram than virtually anywhere else in my social media. Tagging is easy, just #(topic) in the text description of your pictures, like "Today I drew a thing #custom #inking #comics" etc etc
