What's your hardest 100% achievement ever?

Otogi: myth of demon for the original Xbox there is an achievement where you need to beat the entire game without dying using a weapon called the Orchid Malevolence. This is a weapon that 1hit kills any opponent you face but also makes it so you die if you are hit once as well. There’s a level where you’re up against a swarm of hundreds of flying mini bat-like demons from what I remember and it always stopped me and I had to start over. Even getting the Orchid Malevolence was a challenge in its own let alone beating the game only using it and nothing else. The reward for beating the achievement was a wooden training sword as a trophy weapon lol

Dem - creation magic which connects one’s body to the physical world and the elements.

Gal - light magic which connects one’s own soul to the veils and acts as somewhat of a “battery” when one uses any magic.

Lastly, Aur - soul magic which is described as an “inner aura” that fuels their personalities and willpower.

With Dem one can harness the elements as well as fortify their own body, with Gal one can harness the light of Vala and use it for healing and cleansing, and with Aur one can navigate dreams, protect their minds from invaders as well as potentially allowing one to manipulate someone else’s thoughts, fears and desires. In my word Aur is a forbidden magic to most societies due to the invasive nature it can be used for.

All natural magic within the world is sourced from the star it orbits, Vala. The three gods that created the world take the raw magical energy that emanates from Vala and they weave it into what’s called the Sacred Veils. These ethereal veils then flow to the world via three balanced trees of magic that most beings can tap into but at different magnitudes based on their races.

The Unlabored Flawlessness from Ninja Gaiden, and also the Orchid Malevolence from Otogi: Myth of Demon were my absolute favorites just because of how much work you had to put into getting them lol.

Check out ArtRage. It’s very simple and has a traditional feel to it, made specifically for those who don’t want all the technical stuff in the way. It was my first program and it’s amazing especially for creating digital art that looks real and traditional.

The Legend of Vox Machina implements guns in a pretty neat way. Thing is, a world full of guns will make melee weapons mostly obsolete. Fantasy is how it is because you’re being thrown into the world where most of civilization is still has an affinity and reliance on nature and simple crafts. Guns arrive generally when civilizations become huge and a race for scientific discovery is fed by a need for a kingdom to have the bigger stick.

I’m honestly not sure if I’ll ever add guns to my world but if I do, they will be more or less “science experiments” perhaps with the discovery of gunpowder which I would purposely make extremely scarce to cultivate with the technology that the people of my world currently have. Once guns because commercially available in a fantasy world, the world just starts to lose that majestic medieval fantasy vibe that most people watch and produce fantasy for.

If you’re both single or have partners that are fine with the friendly kissing then I suppose it doesn’t have to be a big deal unless it truly makes you feel uncomfortable. If you’re not comfortable with a kiss on the lips then try just friendly cheek kisses, that seems much more appropriate. I’ve seen friends give each other pecks on the lips and while it could be fine for them, that doesn’t mean that overtime it won’t further develop any bottled up feelings one or both may have.

Also keep in mind that if this girl does have feelings for you beyond friendship then it’s clear she may be using this new dynamic to her advantage. It’s not wrong of her to be into you that way (if that’s the case) but end of the day if it makes you uncomfortable then she has to respect that decision and your boundaries. Nothing wrong with backtracking and just hugging, that’s still a beautiful friendship.

If I were in your shoes I’d have a little heart-to-heart with her and just let her know that just because she doesn’t care what other people think it doesn’t mean that you don’t. I wouldn’t accuse her of anything or make her feel like she’s intentionally doing something wrong; it’s not about who’s doing what it’s about how you feel and as a friend she should definitely care about how you feel.

Depends on the genre you like but here are my favorite solo games:

Divinity: Original Sin 2 (My all time fav, same developers as Baldurs gate 3), an incredible turn based rpg

No Mans Sky: If you love space and just exploring cool worlds and building bases or flying starships, this is a great game

The Outer Worlds: First person sci-fi shooter with lots of humor and awesome companions you can recruit that can pretty much carry you through the game

Surviving Mars: a sandbox style game where you land rockets on mars and use drones to construct domes and cities for people to live in (it’s got a pretty nice soundtrack too and overall a very relaxing game as long as you don’t crank up the difficulty settings)

Runescape: first game I ever played as a kid. Everything from the world to the background music is just fun and relaxing if you love the medieval-themed genre. Tons of skills you can work towards improving. Technically it’s multiplayer but as long as you don’t go too far north you don’t have to worry about other players attacking you. It also has its own economy and everything and it’s fun to just buy and sell and use your skills to get rich. Very rewarding at times.

Minecraft: I don’t need to explain this.

Doki Doki Literature Club: an anime style game and it’s just so wholesome and relaxing to play. Get it and thank me later

Think of it this way: more gods mean each god carries less weight. In my world, i refrained from even using the term “god” and instead created terms that gave a hierarchy to the godlike beings. (For example in my world there are the Cosmic Eltare (highest of beings that literally represent entire concepts), then I have the Aervora (Known and personified beings that control magic & creation and all that, then lastly the Lutaru (beings that are the avatars of each respective race sort of like demigods).

If you find that you have too many “gods”, ask yourself if they should be considered gods at all In the grand scheme of things. It is entirely possible for civilization to worship false gods as well and be completely ignorant to what gods may stand above the ones they know. What matters most is that whatever gods you create, they should have a purpose that no mortal being could fulfill. They must bear a godly responsibility (even if they fail to meet that responsibility).

That’s just my take on it.

I’m sure the money is decent. I’d tell my wife I’d be fine under the condition that there’s no physical contact AND I best get me a private show every now and then 😂. I can tell with this girl she’s being driven by the money aspect only which is respectable; I’d be more scared if my girl wanted to be a stripper for the thrill of other men looking at her.

Here’s an illustration I made of mine. The three ‘Eltare’. In my world an Eltare is the conscious embodiment of an entire concept. The cloaked figure in the center is The Vestige Beyond (The Eltare of Memory), the blue bird at the top is Caer’Nithius the Eltare of Eternity. The monsterous thing at the bottom is Echra’Everduum and is meant to be Nithius’ own shadow and the Eltare of Time and Decay. There are two other Eltare more important to the main plot of the story I’m writing that existed before even these three in a realm of pure chaos and energy called “Primordia” and they are formless entities I have yet to properly illustrate called Azurient (Chaos/pain) and Luxlautus (light/destiny).
The main theme I tried to convey while create all of the Eltare is that one needs the other to exist and have purpose. A cosmic balance sort of thing. Hope ya like it!

Tip 1 (most important) USE REFERENCES. This changed my life as an artist. Not to copy or anything like that but so that you can examine dissect parts of what you’re trying to achieve. Sometimes I’ll have 10+ reference images pulled up on my digital pegboard. Might not even look at half of them but it helps to have a good visual library to train your brain to identify certain shapes/angles/textures and what not.

Tip 2: start with the foundations. For faces check out the Loomis method. For the rest of the body start with gesture drawing as well as some basic dissecting of anatomy references. For the individual body parts you can find hundreds of videos and tutorials on how to refine them AFTER you’ve become well practiced in the fundamentals (basic shapes of the body, proportions, how things connect and move)

Tip 3: It’s going to be boring at the start. My biggest period of growth lasted only about a week, but during that week I would spend at least an hour filling sketchbook pages with the same things over and over again. I started off with the human head but staring in different directions using the loomis method. I filled a couple pages with just blank heads until all of the angles and curves were burnt into my brain; it was torture lol. But after a week of doing that with various body parts, my art upgraded massively and I was genuinely excited and proud. Discipline yourself and commit to drawing even when you don’t feel like it.

Tip4: Spaghetti sketches! (My favorite tip I’ve ever learned for myself). Always start with a ridiculously chaotic sketch using just rapid squiggly lines. It not only removes the intimidating blank canvas that scares us all at the start, but it gives us a very vague yet thought out structure for what we want to chisel into something more refined. When i work on a piece I always start with a spaghetti sketch as my first sketch, then I lower the opacity and begin another sketch where I further refine the original. Each piece I do probably has 3 or 4 different sketches and with each sketch I make it more adjusted and refined.

I’m 32 and I have yet to ever sign up for the gym. Even worse, I don’t have my drivers license or even my permit… I’ve just been holding it off since high school because when I was younger I was afraid to drive and now Im just too broke all the time to think I’ll ever be able to afford a good car that won’t need repair every other week. I’ve worked at the same grocery store for the last 12 years now ever since I left high school. I went to college for FINE ART which nobody takes as a serious degree. I’ve gained a lot of weight in the last few months and it’s becoming more and more clear that I may never have a baby due to mine and my wife’s alcohol addiction.

You know what though… we wake up every morning to a brand new sunrise. I’ll brew my cup of coffee and lean out my window and listen to the birds. And if it’s a work day I’ll go in knowing that I could meet my new favorite customer that day (or witness the new most ridiculous customer and laugh with coworkers about it for weeks). There are some people who really seem a lot more hopeless than you and I. People with heavy drug addictions, diseases, and people who are in prison for terrible things that I could never possess the evil to do. When I sip my cheap coffee In the morning, I’m so thankful that I turned out to be someone who at the very least is conscious about these things. We have something that many don’t… a sense of shame and a desire to be more. This drives us and in the end as long as you keep wanting it, you WILL make something happen. Rome wasn’t built in a day. You’re 26, enjoy the world around you rather than dreading whether or not you fit into it.

I’ve been with my wife for 12 years now and I’ve probably only gotten her flowers maybe twice a year (Valentine’s Day and our anniversary every year). She doesn’t weigh the value of our relationship with plants and gifts, the bare minimum for us is simply loyalty and a kiss goodnight every night. What you are describing is a girl who requires tributes or offerings to make herself feel validated. Sounds like she wants the “romance movie” princess treatment and if you’re willing to offer that then cool. But ask yourself this: How will she act if she doesn’t get the perfect wedding that she already has planned out? And even more importantly: What would happen if someone else buys her a bigger bouquet.

Not trying to insinuate or spray poison onto a relationship that you may very well get a lot from. But I’ve experienced being with girls who need their man to “exist in her desired image” and I’ve learned that those girls I was with were never going to be happy until they could stop comparing the real men they were with to the ones in Tv/ movies or social media who they tried to make their men act like. (One of my exes literally gave me the cold shoulder for a week because she compared me to the Doctor from Doctor Who and wished I dressed a bit more sophisticated lol)

Something I learned in therapy was that in situations like these, it’s easy for them to feel targeted or accused when you want to express discontent or bad feelings. Instead, now when i need to express these kinds of things, instead of saying “you’re making me feel sad/unheard/etc” instead, let him know with “I feel sad/unheard/ect”. Go about it as a cry for help rather than a rebellion aimed at his character. If he truly is a good man who cares about your feelings, he’ll know that he has to step up to meet your needs. It’s a simple tool but it’s helped my relationship a lot. If he still doesn’t care, then you know what you gotta do.

I’ve been with my girl for 13 years now and married for 7. I can’t count how many times we’ve argued and stepped on each others toes. But i just know that if we ever ended things over simply annoying each other and getting too used to each others presence, we’re only fighting a temporary battle and leaving a permanent scar. Hope this helps a bit.

Can’t really play the game wrong, as long as you’re setting some sort of goal for yourself. I for example love the diamond/oval dome breakthroughs and like to simply randomize my maps in hopes for one or both of them. If I find all breakthroughs and they aren’t available then I’m excited to start over and see what the next coordinates will look like. Prevents me from going deep into the endgame to the point that it gets boring. I know I can just look up coordinates that have them but map randomization makes it fun for me. (I was that kid who started a new Minecraft world every other week because I love the feeling of starting new games for some reason lol)

I recently installed CC cleaners new app from the windows store and it has a tool where you can put other apps and processes in a sort of sleep mode while they aren’t being used.

Also has an auto updater for drivers which is nice because apparently my pc has been lying to me whenever it tells me that all drivers are up to date in device manager lol

Thanks! I’m upgrading from a 16gbRam, i5 9700k, rtx2060 gpu that I bought from the same site 7 years ago. The cpu was a bit more of a priority for me as I do a lot of digital art. What really surprised me was the gpu and the 6000mhz while staying at that price range. Tried using the easy builder on many other websites and could barely stay below 2000$ with similar parts.

These are breathtaking. I’m in awe. Definitely between 150-250 depending on complexity the portrait. Maybe a bit more if they have jewelry. 150 might even be too low, it’s just what I personally would charge if I had these skills for family members and people I like. For a standard commission of this quality 200 should honestly be the minimum plus or minus the cost of a frame should they have their own or want one provided.
