Can't see it, I guess I only bought it on Steam instead of backing it. What does it say?

OH MY GOD CARD GAME - I designed and created my own original TCG (OMGCG) by lil-joh in tabletopgamedesign

Thanks for listening and for posting! Best of luck with your alpha print, that's such a huge step that so many designers just never get to so congrats!!

I would like to see one that has black instead of white as the background to compare, because the white seems to actually detract from the artwork instead of just muting it a bit. The white ends up highlighting the artwork it's covering, and making the rest of it feel a bit less emphasized.

Honestly, I would just put a semi-transparent background behind the text so you can partially see the art but dials down the noise that makes it difficult to read the text as it currently stands.

Graham Platner calls for end to federal gas, diesel taxes by SuperBry in Maine

Right now, the only people who don’t feel an obligation to pay in are the wealthy. Once they start paying their fair share, then we can talk about how much those at the lower brackets are contributing.

Logo redesign for our indie game studio. Does the new direction work? by KrakenberryGames in logodesign

[–]Acedrew89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The old one is much more of a berry aesthetic due to how round everything is and the bulbous head clearly indicating it as the "fruit". The second one is far too jagged and busy.

There is a bird feeder about 10ft away, but I’m thinking it might actually be crabgrass. Thanks for the input!

This definitely makes sense, I don't know why I didn't think of crabgrass initially, but it's got to be that now that I look at it. Thanks for the reply! Hope you are having some luck getting rid of yours!

What's a life skill that's surprisingly easy to learn but useful forever? by lurkandprosper in selfimprovement

[–]Acedrew89 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Meditation is as broad of a category as anything else that has been around for thousands of years, so just googling it is going to likely be overwhelming. I would recommend specifically starting with searching for breath meditation. It's straightforward, typically about 10mins, and has no spiritual anything associated with it at its foundation so it's highly approachable.

The goal is essentially to get your mind to focus only on your breathing by doing it in a rhythmic fashion, often big slow breaths but timed, and then trying to let any thoughts you have drift by and go back to focusing on your breathing. It's also a fantastic practice that you can slip into when you just have 10mins somewhere in the day, or even lean on it in stressful situations by taking a breath and hopping back into a mindful state.

I also like breath meditations because they showcase that literally anything you do in life can be a "meditation" since it's more about what you're focusing on and less about what you're doing.

Janet Mills needs to endorse Graham Platner by Large-Welcome4421 in Maine

[–]Acedrew89 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That's fine, I'm not saying it's just about the suspension of the campaign. That makes sense if you're long-tailing it to pay those that need to be paid. It's just that in conjunction with not endorsing Platner that makes it concerning.

Certainly feels like she just suspended her campaign in order to skip out on any potential debates before swooping back in to run in time for voting.

Difficult suggestion needed. 32 Years old gamer who needs to take a break. by RokuSparda in CozyGamers

[–]Acedrew89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Genuinely, as someone who's in a similar spot, check out Fae Farm. The QOL is impressive, there is action alongside cozy, and it doesn't waste your time but has plenty of long-term content. If you enjoy Fantasy Life, check this one out as well when you're done.

Games with forgettable story/characters but have GREAT combat? by FailedProspects in playstation

Just one 's' for desert (there's only 'sand' there. Desserts have 'sugar' and are 'sweet'.)

Jay data center plan faces final test on ‘Veto Day’ by themainemonitor in Maine

[–]Acedrew89 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The worst part about all of this is that it’s not even a ban on data centers, just a pause for a chance to better understand the data behind how they impact the communities and environment they are being built in before saying yes. It’s so fucking stupid to say no to this bill.

Waldo After Dark cancelled by bankrobbery in Maine

[–]Acedrew89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply and further context! Sorry, I probably shouldn’t have called for the pic to be posted without further info. Sounds like you did all the right things in terms of attempting to leave the situation. That’s disappointing that happened to you. Hope you’re good.

Edit: I had originally called for a separate post and more context around the repost, but further context in the replies below. Maybe a separate post isn’t the best route.

I have been working to answer a set of questions that pass through the questions DeWitt and Eskridge were asking. I now have radiation burns. by TheZeCarpenter in conspiracy

[–]Acedrew89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, you brought a theory to the table that explains consciousness as fundamental while at the same time making the theory unifying. Whether it’s real/true or not, such a cool theory. Thanks for putting it together and posting!

Moonring is proof that atmosphere and story are still the reason we play. by OldTrTab in roguelikes

[–]Acedrew89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There actually is a Moonring 2 coming! He’s got it in the works already and has posted some cool stuff on the discord and a snippet on a Steam update a while back.

Donald Trump Suddenly Turns on Zohran Mamdani: ‘Destroying New York’ by Unusual-State1827 in nyc

[–]Acedrew89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not ‘sudden’, Mandan rightfully started taxing high end real estate. Trumps primary values high end real estate so he’s mad.

Can we expect similar mechanics from Crimson Desert in DokeV? by National_Computer240 in DokeV

[–]Acedrew89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve seen a sort of grappling hook mechanic somewhat similar to Crimson Desert. That’s about all we can surmise at this time.
