not really work but didnt know where to put it. Opened up zbrush yesterday and started messing around, kinda forgot it ships with c4d now. And saw someone using their cintiq so thought Id give it a shot. Loved how it feels like sketching but with clay. Man I wish I had this when I was a kid. Had been looking at some old spawn comics so took inspiration from that. Love the roughness, like a bronze cast statue. Never liked the smooth models I've seen. Anyway if yo have a tablet or a screen tablet it is super fun to play with!
- Keep at it. It gets addicting.dopepope

- @dope i really struggle with the navigation, hopefully gets easier. Compared to c4d and houdini its like counter intuitivewhere_am_i
- It does, just requires a TON of daily practice. But once you get a groove, u can do custom UI pallets, and makes things way easier.dopepope
- Great work! I've been meaning to get into ZBrush. I've used C4D sculpting with a Wacom and love it. ZBrush is way better than C4D's native sculpting.CyBrainX

Wordpress Discussion
QBN, can I see your WP cheat sheet? Please?
What are your go to Wordpress Plugins that tend to get installed on most of your sites during a fresh install of wordpress?
"But it's site dependant..." OK, for example I am a cook and I use my site to showcase my cooking videos and cooking course (which they have to join to access).
Apparently the top 3 are:
ACF*
Wordfence
Yoast SEOFor a beginner like me, it makes sense to put notes besides to say WHY u need the plugin or at least name the category. Wordfence - firewall
Yoast SEO - SEOACF* there are so many versions of this plugin I am baffled which one is the one I'm supposed to choose. And apparently the one everyone names, is either gone altogether or not free bcuz I can't find it. I want free, no signup if possible.
Those came from reddit. I copied/pasted another list below. NO clue if it's reliable or not. That's why I asked to see your own WP plugin cheat sheet.
QUOTE
"Not a specific plugin, but maybe categories that would add a plugin:
Security: a firewall (e.g. Wordfence, iThemes), or some smaller plugins to protect logins
Cache: WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache
SEO: Rank Math SEO, Yoast SEO, The SEO Framework
Image Optimization: ShortPixel, Smush
Link Shortener: Pretty Link, Redirection
Ad Management: AdRotate, Ad Inserter
Contact Form: Contact Form 7, WP Forms
Backup: All-in-One WP Migration, Updraft Plus, Duplicator
Spam Protection: Akismet Anti-Spam, Antispam Bee"

blog
Nairn's blog about a quarter of a century of QBN has given me a touch of the melancholy.
We're (broadly, some of us) the only generation that knew and operated in a world before the www, before groups, before forums, before social media, before digital on demand. We've experienced the entire arc from zero to the peak and now down the other side.
The amount of change in that time is phenomenal. I started off using whatever Yahoo Groups was before it became Yahoo Groups. I'd guess that was 1997.
Now I think even the big powerful social media brands/platforms are slowly losing cultural relevance. They're still huge, still being used by very large numbers of people... but what they can do is limited by what they are and we all get tired of the media eventually. They aren't inherently exciting anymore. We know what we're going to get.
There was a time when it was all so fascinating that I was in danger of losing purchase on real world obligations due to a constant burning desire to be exploring the vast possibility of online living and the new experiment in communication and discovery. All via dial-up for a very long time, and that added to the sense of adventure. The sound of jacking in to the alterverse and the fact it took time to get there. Transportative, if such a word exists.
Now I genuinely struggle to find anything to hold my interest online. The thousands of weird, kooky, idiosyncratic websites, platforms, gatherings, experiments got funnelled into global brand platforms with nothing thrilling to offer. There is no internet anymore.
I pick my phone up, flick on to Reddit, flick over to QBN daily, and flick onto a few news platforms, and that's it. I'm done.
Even with QBN it now feels like it could be winding down. No fresh intake, just a dwindling circle of stalwarts who often don't even seem to enjoy each other's company.
And me watching silently through a window, but with less enthusiasm with each passing day.
ENTERTAIN ME, OR LOSE MY PATRONAGE FOREVER.

Regarding my addiction to citrus fruits (especially tangerines) during the winter, I just discovered that you can overdose on vitamin C!
