Ali Rambles- chatting about random things! :)
Added 2023-07-17 00:01:47 +0000 UTCHello again! These rambles really are the best way to warm up my voice before recording a roleplay hehe :P This one is a little longer- when I get to talking about stuff I like I don't shut up haha! I'm mainly talking about random things in this one, from work and life to series and games I enjoy ^_^ I hope this is something chill to relax to before your week ahead <3

Thanks for the encouragement

2023-07-20 19:42:18 +0000 UTCThank you, I really appreciate that a lot! :) I wish you the best in your art journey too. I think it's really easy to get caught up in drawing a certain way. It can be difficult to get out of that spot, so I completely understand where you're coming from. Whatever you choose to draw or try out I look forward to seeing it <3

2023-07-20 19:38:37 +0000 UTCI would love to record myself playing dot hack! If I can figure out a way to set stuff up, I'll totally do that sometime in the future. May take me a bit to figure out the setup but I'm all for that idea :) If I play hardcore classic 100% my ass isn't making it to 60. Even knowing that though I want to try haha! I've never had more fun playing WoW than classic launch. Playing on a PvP server was the absolute best- I played a gnome rogue named Stirfried; just to add that extra bit of annoyance when I killed another player. She also had high cooking skills :P My memory of seeing that movie in theatres is kinda funny. My dad took my cousin and I to see it and he fell asleep during the movie. I didn't care until he started snoring and it embarrassed the hell out of me lol. Also, ROBERT SMITH! What a legend <3

2023-07-20 19:33:04 +0000 UTCHope things go well with your art improvement journey. I too have been feeling like I want to improve my art in some ways. While I haven't done too many commissions, I have given myself art obligations for others and I feel like my art has been stuck in one way, and I want either variety or a return to something that feels more free.

2023-07-20 17:34:33 +0000 UTCAhh those old DotHack games were so cool, I hope they get a good remake. I haven't spent much time with the GU remakes but they were pretty good, they kept the spirit intact and that means a lot. The first set of em really depend on that spirit and character cuz it's mechanically old world. There's no combos and a lot of combat is menu based. I love it personally but it was hit or miss for people back then. I wouldn't even care if they changed things, I'd be happy just to see it alive again. It might have a market cuz mmos really don't feel like they used to anymore, and I think the SAO kids ran out of content. Heh if you ever run out of patreon ideas maybe record a lil intro let's play to show it off in it's chunky poligon glory. I can't find my disk :( I'd love to see it again. No pressure. I quit wow after lich king but picked it back up after I caught covid and was quarantined for a month. I ran thru BoA (hated it) and shadowlands (kinda liked it) and dropped it at banner 70. Everyone I partied with suggested vanilla but hardcore might be the only reason I would go back to classic or wow at all. I always do a lite rp character story so dying by getting greifed in a raid sounds amazing, the perfect death ☠️ I'd be crying laughing. And omg I saw sucker punch in theatres! I took my first gf there, it was one of my first dates ☺️ It's so iconic. Celeb crush will forever be Siouxsie Sioux, and I dude crush all over Robert Smith no shame. They're both dreamy and divine even though they're old as dust.

2023-07-20 01:14:10 +0000 UTCThroughout the years I've only ever used the Wacom brand. Some people think they are overpriced but I've never experienced any major issues I couldn't fix on my own. There are ones that cost A LOT, but it really comes down to your budget and what you're looking for. I used a cheaper tablet for years- one where you would draw on the tablet and look at your computer screen while doing so. I will say now that I use a display tablet, this option feels more unnatural to me since you're not really looking at your hand while drawing but rather your screen. They are pretty cheap though and they are still really nice! It also doesn't matter if they get scratched since you're not looking at it lol. I only recently bought my first display tablet (one where you draw on the screen itself) about two years ago. While I absolutely love the display tablet, please don't make my mistake and not get a screen protector if you choose to go this route. I was under the impression that the tablet had a built-in screen protector, which it may have, but I've started to notice scratches and wear that bother the heck out of me. I can't really blame Wacom though since it was my fault for not getting a protector xD I'm sorry that was a lot, but I hope my experiences with them can help in some way! I know a decent bit about drawing programs too, especially clip studio if you ever have questions about that or tablet settings :)

2023-07-18 22:44:54 +0000 UTCI’m more than open to tablet suggestions. Both on the hardware itself and any tips or techniques for using one, considering I know exactly nothing about the digital side of things haha

2023-07-18 05:50:34 +0000 UTCI'm really happy you enjoyed it! If my ramble audios are enjoyable to you all I'm more than happy to continue making them ^_^ I find them really relaxing to do before getting into my roleplay voice lol. Don't worry, if you get a job in retail, it will be tough in the beginning, but it gets much easier with time. You'll have those days that are really busy, but I think in a way it can teach you a lot of things <3 As for art and video games, I think it's important to take your time in both. Do what you find enjoyable even if it's just as a hobby or in your spare time. So long as you're enjoying yourself it doesn't matter how long it takes you to complete! I play some games competitively like PvP in WoW, but overall, I'm very much a solo player too. I like to enjoy things at my own pace and that's OK! Don't feel pressured :)

2023-07-18 04:08:42 +0000 UTCI really hope the games get remade; I'd love for others to be able to play them! As for the girl I work with, I've seen her since then and she seems to be doing good so hopefully she decides to stay :D I've never worked fast food before, but I can only imagine the things you went through. If there's one thing people are going to be an asshole about it's going to be with their food. Which is funny because I always try to be the nicest person to anyone handling what I'm about to eat haha! xD That's awesome to hear you want to get back into drawing more! I really like the pieces you've posted and would enjoy seeing more for sure. If you get yourself a tablet and ever have any questions, feel free to ask me! I've had different tablets over the years so if I can help in any way just let me know ^_^

2023-07-18 03:55:46 +0000 UTCWell that's good that you were able to get a new perspective! I look forward to seeing where you go with your art in the future! I would also have a list that is too long lol but most of mine are from video games so to make it more limited I'll just add 2 from Anime only. #1 Husbando would be Gaara from Naruto (he is best boi) and Waifu would be Mizore Shirayuki from Rosario + Vampire.

2023-07-18 02:58:20 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed Sucker Punch! I remember going to see it in theaters and thought it was so cool :) Wow, 6 racoons?! That's a lot! Maybe they wanted you to give them some food with their little grabby hands lol xD

2023-07-18 01:48:48 +0000 UTCI'm glad you enjoyed the ramble! I for sure learned that doing what I love as a job wasn't always as fun as I initially thought it would be. Like you mentioned, it can definitely work out for some people which is really awesome! I am grateful for the experience though since it helped me realize what I like and don't like about creating stuff :D If we're talking fictional character crushes my list would be too long haha! To keep it short I'll say my number one husbando is Aizen from Bleach. Waifu would probably be Revy :P

2023-07-18 01:45:09 +0000 UTCI abousltelty love these they are my abousltelty favorite feels like I'm talking to really good friends which I don't have lol but regardless I don't mind it being long I could listen for like an hour feels very I guess calming or nice. I feel so bad for that girl and you because retail is so brutal and exhausting and I never treat anyone in retail like that even if they are a little rude I have no idea how they feel or if they already feel tired exhausting etc so I always treat them with high respect. I might be working in retail soon so I'm honestly just preparing myself for the unexpected or that one rude costumer or boss. I've always love your art style I was looking for asmr content when I found your vampire video I think and I was more interested in your art even though I liked you asmr content alot. I can definitely relate to the burn out I got inspired to do art by you and many other artist so I took a class but I found it hard too catch up and learn since everyone else was an artist to some extent so I've chosen to learn on my own spare time. I'm also feeling the burn with video games since they have been my bread and butter an I've played basically have game time there is but lately it's felt so competitive I don't mind a little competition evey now but now it's like every game and most of the time I just play for the fun and casual it also feels like I've played almost everything even though I haven't but I have moved more towards single player games and indie games which feel better im also lucky i play on xbox as the backwards compatibility is very good so i can play alot of old games without having to get my old consoles out . I played gta V for a long time so I know how it feels with griefes just cranked up to 11 lol. I've always played on console mainly cause it was cheaper since I couldn't afford a pc nor do I have space for one I only have a like 7 year laptop and the only game I play on it is star wars empire at war a strategy game but it only runs because it's like 10 years old 😭. I loved history documentaries I still do but used to watch so many as kid besides my cartoons lol I was always fascinated by all of it and watch them on repeat sometimes lol but I watch lot of like 18th 19th century stuff but I've really gotten into ancient history so vikings Roman's etc. Anyways I've written too much already lol but thanks so much for this kinda content it's my most favorited and appreciated

2023-07-17 06:38:08 +0000 UTCAwesome to come back to another ramble vid, love hearing your stories and opinions on stuff. I remember seeing some of your retweets about the .hack remakes. Hopefully it’ll actually happen, it’d be neat to check em out for myself! Also hope that girl can stick with her job despite the douchebag. I never worked retail but I did work fast food for my first two jobs so I have a lot of experience with shitty customers lol Don’t even worry about slowing down on uploads to focus on your art. The last thing we’d want is for you to feel like you’re stuck in a rut art-wise for the sake of just producing more stuff. I sorta relate to that actually, I’ve never wanted drawing to become my job in fear of pretty much the exact reasons you stopped doing it as a job. I’ve started re-reading some stuff and revisiting the basics, and I’m starting to draw more. I want to improve again and recapture that love I had for improving my art that I felt in high school, if only a little. I can tell I’ve stagnated in most areas and even regressed in a few others. I also wanna order a tablet at some point in the not-so-distant future and start learning digital, which I’m sure will bring its own new set of challenges haha

2023-07-17 06:24:20 +0000 UTCI was literally just thinking about the sucker punch movie, I know it's not perfect but It's such an enjoyable movie for me. I really like listening to people talk about things they are passionate about, so please don't shup up. (Random Edit) just saw 6 racoons on my front porch, idk why I wanted to share that.

2023-07-17 00:56:02 +0000 UTCI really resonated with you talking about your past work, From all of the people I've talked about the phrase "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life" really actually turns into "Do what you love, and you'll work every day for the rest of your life". Obviously it can work out for some people and/or professions, but it can easily ruin your hobby or passions if in the wrong circumstances. I don't play WoW but I've seen a few of clips of Asmon talking about various things. Ngl that story sounds incredibly funny, spite is a powerful motivator lol. I don't really get crushes on celebrities, or people in general tbh, but I think the closest for females would be Vasquez from Aliens (Jenette Goldstein) and for males it would be Johnny Rico from Starship Troopers (Casper Van Dien). However, many waifus/husbandos but those are mainly more jokingly than actual crushes tho lol.
