Depression

Many of you know actor and comedian Robin Williams and his battle with depression.  This of coarse resulted in his suiccide.

[From our friends at Gnosis news]--Depression, something that almost everyone faces. Many people suffer from depression every day, but for many different reasons.

Reasons for depression are most commonly are:

  • Abusive Parents
  • Terrible Family Members
  • Death of a family member or loved one
  • Having no love
  • Being alone
  • Bullying (This is the most common one)
  • A cheating boyfriend/girlfriend

Depression, something that people in this society are too dumb to see. People who give depression to others are usually too dumb to realize people are different or maybe even are way too unappreciative to who you are and what you have.

Depression can cause:

  • Different eating habits (Either over eating or not eating at all)
  • Getting easily irritated
  • Insomnia (or sleeping problems)
  • Negativity
  • The person to feel hopeless, lonely, unloved, sad, tired, bored, anxious, self-critical, and/or guilty
  • Suicide (probably the most common)

Depression is actually something that can be prevented but people refuse to do it. If people were nice and realized everyone is different, we’d have less people in depression. Or, if it’s a relationship thing, if the boyfriend/girlfriend realized how it feels to love someone that is hurting you so much, then they probably would have less of a chance to do it. Now, even though the prevention will never work, here is what you do, I know that most of you are either victims of depression or know someone facing through depression, I want you to use every resource I tell you to get better.

You can get over depression by:

  • Finding your talent or improving on something you are already good at (Youtube is the best place to find tutorials for almost anything)
  • Study and make sure you know that doing this will help you get a better job and step on everyone who made fun of you back then
  • Be nice and try to act positive (when you act positive, your emotions can get fooled and cause you to feel better)
  • Exercise (Mainly any sort of self defense or yoga can help with emotional problems right away)
  • Watch TV shows/Movies/Videos you love
  • Listen to music that makes you happy
  • Make videos of any sort (Whether it’s a daily Vlog, Gaming Videos, Beauty tips, or animations, it can turn your emotions around and maybe even benefit in the future)
  • Try anything new of any sort (Some suggestions are webdesigning, gardening, etc.)
  • Remember, if someone (or a lot of people) are making you feel bad, committing suicide will only make them happier, and they don’t deserve to be happy if they act that way ☺
  • Always tell yourself don’t let it get to you (remember there is more people in the planet with different opinions, if one doesn’t like you then someone else would)

Videos I recommend for people in depression to watch:

I recommend you all please take the consideration to show awareness that we are all different and that no one deserves depression. Depression can effect people badly emotionally, physically, and academically. DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED ♡♥♡

Wacom™ Cintiq – Cheaper Alternatives

For those who don’t know what it is, the Wacom™ Cintiq is a tool for digital artists to create art more easily and efficiently. The tool boasts 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, a 3-in-1 cable, and easy portability. Today, I will show you some cheaper alternatives to the wallet-destroyer.

(NOTE: This article only displays alternatives to newer models: The 13HD, 22HD, 24HD, Companion, and Companion Hybrid.)

1. Cintiq 13HD ($999) – Yiynova DP10U+ 10.1″ ($370)

So the Yiynova DP10U wins because it is basically a plug-and-play compared to the Cintiq 13HD and it is also lets you save $629 on something not too different from a Cintiq 13HD.

2. Cintiq Companion ($2499) – Surface Pro 2 ($899)

Image

Image

Do I really need to make another chart for this? Note that the Surface Pro 2 cannot act as a second monitor for your computer. And to answer your question, yes, the Surface Pro 2 has pressure sensitivity as well.

3. Cintiq Companion Hybrid ($1499) – Samsung Galaxy Note Pro ($749)

Image

Image

Pressure Sensitivity: Check.

Cheaper: Check.

Android: Check.

S Pen: Check.

You’re good to go.

4. Cintiq 22HD ($1999) – Monoprice 19-Inch ($389)

Image

Image

You get the point. 3 inches smaller, but it makes it up with it’s amazing price.

5. (And Finally): Cintiq 24HD ($2499) – Yiynova MVP22U ($969)

Image

Image

Still a good deal compared to the massive 24HD.

I would still never be able to afford any of the alternatives.

What do you guys think? Would you buy an alternative?

Flipnote Studio 3D... Never comming out?

                                      http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/286/7/a/the_elusive_flipnote_studio_3d_by_xavier_alexander-d6qeorh.png                      

 

    About 4 years ago Nintendo announced that a new app (the predecessor to the Flipnote Hatena drawing application) would come out for the Nintendo 3DS. Fast forward to the year 2013, the members of the online community of Flipnote Hatena learned that on May 31st, 2013 the community will soon be discontinued and move to the 3DS on an app called Flipnote Studio 3D. Many users were mad, but some very hopeful. Nintendo said that Japan would get the application on July 4th but then pushed the date back to July 24th, 2013 for server prederation. The european and North American release dates however were kept at August 1st (for EU) and 'early August' (for NA). However weeks came and the Nintendo of Europe tweeted this-

However the Nintendo of the NA region never notified the fans in a tweet, but rather kept the fans of the Application waiting and looking. 

     Reactions to this were anywhere from "Oh that's okay I can wait!" to "HOW COULD YOU?!" Originally the problem was do to server problems and a "high usage from Japanese users." So you'd think that would be the end of the problem? Sadly no. Some months before that issue (about 5 or so) some reports of minors in Japan and adults were engaging in inappropriate actions on Swapnote and Flipnote Studio: Gallery Friends

     The following part was written by www.nintendoworldreport.com

"Nintendo's 3DS message relay service, known as Swapnote in the USA and Nintendo Letter Box in other regions, has had its SpotPass functionality disabled abruptly and permanently, essentially terminating the application. Flipnote Studio 3D, which was so far only released in Japan but had been set for a future release in the West, shares the same fate.

     The decision was made after Nintendo discovered that some people had been exchanging friend codes with minors online, then sending offensive material to them through the two 3DS messaging services.

     Swapnote Special Notes with custom stationery, often sent from Nintendo to promote new games, will also no longer be sent. StreetPass functionality remains intact, though of limited use since it only functions for friends who pass by each other physically, and only one note can be set for transmission at a time.

     Nintendo has offered an apology to those who actively used both applications responsibly. The company will continue to raise awareness of the 3DS parental control options, but at this time a reactivation of either service seems unlikely.

There is no word as to whether Wii U communications will be affected."

   This was a huge blow back. A lot of fans of Nintendo felt bad, some also showed the rage of hell and attack / criticised Nintendo. Some saying things like "If facebook used Nintendo's logic in this situation that would mean no more facebook. One person doesn't have to mess it up for everyone." "This is the internet what do you think would happen?" and much more. Forum websites, Facebook fan pages, keywords on Hatena Haiku, Miiverse, and many more places rage with hate towards Nintendo. All the fans can do now is wait. Wait and hope that this application will come out.
