pretending otherwise

Welcome to modern society. Everybody loves to pretend.

The people pretending to be offended by some random mistaken word uttered by another.
Those pretending to care about something that they are using "politically correct" words for.
Microsoft pretending to care about OSS, in the hopes of getting some highly performant devs.
...

Yes, it's not a slur. But someone told another person to not call them a "cis woman" on camera and now it is whatever, you call it.

Well, they called it a slur. That's good enough a reason.

That's why I don't like the idea of censoring slurs. Anything can be one.
If some chap at X, determining which word is considered a slur, says, "I watched a YouTube video with telling someone else not to call them 'cisgender'.", that's probably good enough to add it to the list, while most of them not actually matching the dictionary definition for "slur".

The point comes as to where to draw the line and the company gets to choose.

but does that mean they just can’t fall forwards?

To fall forwards, you would have to clip through the wall.

Now just need it to start doing what you want it to do.

As opposed to:

  1. Calling your neighbourhood tech bro with a nanoscale fab for a RISK-V CPU
  2. Sourcing laptop parts from nearby manufacturers providing full schematics
  3. Designing your own cooling setup to match all the component sizes
  4. Machining your own enclosure and assembling it al yourself

We're not there yet. I'm still dreaming.

The person in the anecdote above seemed to have a pretty "good luck"

Have you noticed, nowadays, games from such "big houses" tend to be not even worth pirating?
Just a major waste of time.

Ah right, I should have said that too: don't care about the dimensions. Just make a shape similar to that, which can be done using the vertices/dots in the provided paper (otherwise the print will be useless for the purpose of making the learning process easier).

You are just trying to learn how to draw nicely, right? You don't really need to care about properly matching some random example I casually picked off google images. You can change the dimensions at will as long as you understand what you are doing.

Whether you consider it whining, depends upon the tone you read it in.

I just read that comment and didn't feel annoyed enough to even give a downvote and the mod's reply seemed far too annoying.

The username on the other hand...

Essentially how that works.

At least in this case, you are using the same basics over and over again.
What to put where, is your imagination. The first 2 steps just explain how to put the stuff there. And since I recommended an eraser, I would expect you to know to use it when it comes to the point.
Since you desire to git gud at drawing, I would expect you to be good at imagining, which is the prerequisite.

So yeah. I this case, the rest of the owl is the same as the first circle and ellipse.

Oh and ignore the shadows. That comes in a completely different territory. You will need to learn shading, first. I'd never bother with that and just use a CAD software.
