Yeah, I've always been a shit artist for I assume the opposite reason; I can think of a thing in a macro sense, like "I want to draw [thing], it has these features', but when it comes time to actually draw those features, I can't pinpoint exactly what they look like. It's like reading a few sentence description of a tree, and then trying to draw one purely based on that description - you can get a general sense for what it looks like, but not the fine detail needed to accurately represent one visually.
Incidentally, I have a difficult time commissioning art as a result, because I have an idea of what I want, but I have a hard time communicating the finer details. AI generated art has actually been really helpful for me in this regard; I can see something and know if it's what I want or not, so being able to give an AI art generator a broad description and get back 100 images from which I can pick a few and tell an artist which parts of each one I want has made it much easier.
There's not enough time left to meaningfully fill another 500,000 pixels; there's still a ton of white space on the current canvas. If the place time was shortened, it would have to be down to something like 5 seconds to be impactful. Changing the "rules" to that extent this late in the game feels silly. There's plenty of empty space as it stands.
Just my 2 cents, though.
It's funny, really, because aphantasia is supposed to be fairly rare, but every time a thread like this comes up, folks come out of the woodwork saying "Oh, yeah, that's me." Makes me wonder if it isn't a lot more common than believed, but people just don't realize they have it. There don't seem to have been any real studies done on it.
I can have conversations in my mind, but there's no visuals associated with it. It's like a radio broadcast vs. a TV program. I can think about the description of an object, and recite back its physical qualities, but I can't visualize that object at all.
Ever seen the movie 'The Dead Zone'? Too bad Trump didn't grab a baby.
There's a (very) active Matrix server for the event, with folks willing to help troubleshoot, if you're still interested in sorting it out.
What's been your problem with making an account? If you're trying to do it from Lemmy, it should be very straight forward (you just need to be able to receive or send DMs, so if your instance has disallowed that somehow, I guess that would cause a problem.)
There's no joke; the 4th choice (in addition to 25%, 25%, 50%) is arbitrary; it could be 0%, 100%, or anything other than 25% or 50%. The only purpose it serves is to be a 4th option (thus making the probability of choosing any individual answer 25% when choosing randomly).
The question would work just as well if it had 3 options:
1/3, 1/3, 2/3.
I remember when I learned people weren’t just being metaphorical when they talked about “picturing” something in their mind.
I had that same reaction. "You mean you can see it? No like, really see it, not just think about seeing it? What the fuck?"
I love this little furry corner we have going on down here; we should expand it!
This design seems to have won out:
If anyone else has anything they want to make, post a template!
Is it a testament to the power of the organization, or the lawlessness of the city that one can wear their regalia in broad daylight unaccosted? It's anyone's guess.

They're banking on the assumption that they won't have to once Trump wins the election.
