2·2 months agoExcellent post. It’s exactly this. My art teacher taught me that if you apply varnish too early, the wet layers beneath the surface may crack with time.

Art Share🎨@lemmy.world•Portrait, oil on canvas. Finally framed and ready to deliver.English
2·2 months agoMay I ask the details of the commission you were provided, was it a photo you worked from?
I do drawing and oil paints for practice, and asked around my family if someone wanted portraits since I’m doing them anyway and might as well paint family. This is a relative who likes to do speeches. There was a low resolution photo of one of the speeches lying around, so I decided to paint from that. The painting will be delivered for the person’s birthday soon.
Arto Paasilinnakin näemmä poistui seurastamme jo 2018. Enpäs tiennyt. Olen lukenut Hurmaavan Joukkoitsemurhan ja Paratiisisaaren Vangit. Varsin pätevää suomalaista junttihuumoria.
Fiktiota:
- There is No Antimemetics Division. Perustuu SCP Wikiin. Uskomattoman paljon hyviä ideoita, mutta kirjoituksen taso heikko. Siitä huolimatta voimakas suositus. Kauhua rakennettuna tuntemattomuuden pelon päälle ja pääkopan sekoittamista pohtien miten ihmisten muistot muodostavat persoonan.
- Sitten aloitin Wheel of Time alusta kun luin sen viimeksi 2000-luvun alussa. Nyt menossa kakkoskirja.
- Sitä ennen luin romantacy BDSM smuttia (Thicker than Gold). Ei ollut minun juttu, mutta tulipa kokeiltua.
Ei-fiktiota:
- Before the Ironclad: Warship Design and Development, 1815-1860. Autistisen yksityiskohtaista pohdintaa sotalaivojen kehityksestä mainitulla aikakaudella. Jäi kesken, mutta opin mm. sen että Brittien laivanrakennus ei ollut edes niin hyvää, vaan he kaappasivat parhaat laivat Ranskalta ja Espanjalta. Sen sijaan Brittiläisten merimahti perustui erittäin päteviin miehistöihin sekä valtavaan määräiseen ylivoimaan.
I like how the lake jumps out due to the clear edges around it and the cooler color.
Excellent work! Very minimal shading that works.
This makes me want to try ink on a brown paper.

Suomi•Mikä selittää Ahvenanmaan selvästi pienemmän määrän työttömiä työnhakijoita?suomi

Absolutely. What I’m talking about is something like Bloodstained, where honestly the upgrades simply meant you now get to proceed to the next linear area in the game, where the area now can use the ability you unlocked, but lots of older areas have no use of it.
An example of a “key” like ability in Hollow Knight is the rocket dash. It’s only ever used to bypass an obstacle you normally wouldn’t be able to cross, but at the other side of the obstacle, you have no more use of that skill. I suppose it can be used in rare instances to travel around the map faster, but only if there’s a straight path.
Too many metroidvanias have abilities that work more like keys - they open a door that gives access to a new area of the game. A better ability is something that changes how the game fundementally plays, or makes old areas feel fresh.
Starting the game with sufficient movement is a big one. Hollow Knight starts with too few movement abilities, and the beginning is slow.
Vähän myöhässä mutta fantasiaa. Julkaisin ensimmäisen romaanin tuossa tammikuussa, nyt menossa jatko-osan neljäs vedos. Seitsemän romaani tullut yhteensä kirjoteltua.
Katsoo jos kävisi vielä juoksulenkillä töiden jälkeen, sitten olisi neljä päivää romaanien kirjotteluun aikaa.

Games@sh.itjust.works•Stormgate developers say they want to lower the RTS skill floor, not the skill ceiling: 'It's okay to be a high-skill game'English
1·2 years agoAlongside the Buddy Bot, Frost Giant’s implementing game modes to appeal to players who are interested in RTS gameplay, but might not seek out the intensity of 1-on-1 competitive RTS matches. In addition to a story campaign that can be played with three players, Stormgate will have a separate 3-vs-AI mode, custom games, and a competitive 3-vs-3 mode where each team has to defend a single, large base structure.
As the typical RTS enjoyer who only plays singleplayer, this type of paragraphs make me less and less interested in this game.

1·2 years agoThis is unfortunately typical of visual novels. The line level sentence-to-sentence prose is rarely even adequate, and often what they choose to describe is already shown as an image on the screen. The best ones, I feel, simply omit the prose and have only dialogue, and if they choose to describe an already-visible image, the description ought to tell what isn’t already available as visual information.

1·2 years agoThank you for your informative comment. I know I’m almost a month late, but I’m about to start my vacation and needed a nice city building game to try.
Kiitoksia kun jaksat tunkata!
Thanks, forwarded this post-mortem to my current meta question.

















This style reminds me of Android Arts.
Great job.
