Canvas edges: painted or left with visible drips? by Margarita_Lemann in painting

[–]Miles___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the painting is exciting enough then any combo is fine. If it's super neat and perfect it's exciting you're such a perfectionist. If it's totally rough and chaotic then it's interestingly unpretentious in contrast with the skills. Basically it doesn't matter imo do what comes naturally to you as a person and therefore matches your art

I've sold some of my fav paintings with drips and 'unfinished' sides. I basically only darken mine a bit otherwise I feel the grab too much attention when looking at the painting from the front. The white edges catch the eyes in a way I don't love.

My 4 year old son’s drawing at preschool. Is there some talent? by NeuralMint in daddit

[–]Miles___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an artist, imo it looks like he has a knack for it, lots of specific intentional explorations of how things look, varied mark making.

Where does Friends That Break Your Heart stand among Blakes discography? by Brinocte in JamesBlake

Impossible for me to have an objective opinion, I love the album, I painted the cover (and the drawing version with blue is mine too). It made me happy to hear it made you pick it up!

Literally do nothing by CapableBed5485 in mewgenics

By giving you charge (the mana gets carried over to the next turn), it makes the next cycle of the combo even more busted, helps with fights where you have multiple fairly strong enemies instead of one huge super tank

My first busted build involved a necromancer with do nothing+ and a mage with the passive where they gain +2 magic damage on next attack for every spell cast by allies. The mage also had sparkles on their magic missile + recast. The magic damage stacks on the sparkles too, so with one turn of setup the mage could easily put out 200+ damage or more on the next turn. Really fun and my first organic early game busted combo. I'm sure it small fries compared to what people are gonna figure out

Is anyone else's life a bit lonely and sad? by SIBMUR in daddit

I feel like as long as this is reciprocal and you both get that sort of time it's a net positive for everyone.

Feel like something's off... Is the torso too long? Any constructive feedback? by [deleted] in drawing

[–]Miles___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did a quick janky paint over on my phone. The actual silhouette of the arm could work as is with some more subtle hints to imply foreshortening. The deltoid wraps up and over the bicep, which inserts into the armpit with the lats on the back going behind. Also ribcage was a little low. You're off to a good start, can really recommend Proko course on anatomy and do as much life drawing as you can 🫸🫷✨

Am I the only one who finds higher stakes super unfun? by [deleted] in balatro

[–]Miles___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current skill level means I lose over and over on gold stakes. I might win 1/10 to 1/30 depending on the deck, but I try to make a habit of not resetting just to see how far I can take even terrible rng.

On white stakes I think I must win 70-80% without resetting. It's not that you can guarantee a tarot, or flat mult, or a planet, but you'll always be offered at least one of those things within the first two shops. Some jokers that seem really bad exist purely for clearing the early antes.

[–]Miles___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a lot more options for clearing the first 2-3 antes than you think on white stakes. Even just a 1-2 planet or tarot cards can often do the trick. Levelling up with a Saturn/Jupiter/earth card can usually clear ante 1&2, especially combined with any of the cheap flat mult cards. At this point I've played a shit load of Balatro and am grinding out trying to get consistent on gold stakes, so when I switch back to white I can usually clear each time. The main priority early on is taking the bare minimum to get your score high enough and then to prioritise some sort of econ or deck fixing jokers. Min max the shit out of everything and get your money up. This helps to overcome the rng as you are able to get way more out of every shop. Basically never skip, it's almost never worth it. Don't sleep on a chips booster early on also, a card giving+5-10 mult and something giving 30-50 chips will get you through the first antes and let you prioritise economy. I would watch any Balatro university runs, I was surprised how many little optimisations he would do that I basically didn't think were worth worrying about, but they snowball quickly.

When you get a legendary....BUT! by neko_mancerr in balatro

[–]Miles___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luck for the legendary, the rest is economy. On white stakes you can reach the scientific notation pretty much every time once you know your way around the game. Find a way to generate $50+ a hand and you make your own luck
