This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

Oh fuck me, I thought we canibalized :rat-salute: from hexbear :sadness:

But I do like it's dithered style. Very much actually, it's got great vibes just off of that.

I just use my own emotes and dither everything because It's Fun(TM)

Fucking ayy, props for you. Maybe try making some emotes in the style of images Low Tech Magazine uses. I even tried making some monochrome photos specifically to dither them like that, the results are nice but you kind of need to know what you are doing with the light so it turns out well. You can always mess with the contrast and that could work too.

Either way, the photos edited to look that way look fucking amazing. Dithering rocks.

that's an interesting aesthetic; I've only been using the GIMP dithering filter for emotes so far, tweaking the number of colours in each channel so it's easily recognizable at 100% resolution, very simplistic stuff

Same, GIMP is just a good tool for me.
