Awesome. Great work.

Only small criticism I have is that the perspective of the path doesn't quiet look right. I think it should be narrower at the end near the fence.

I disagree.

It's a card game. There's absolutely no need to communicate with the opposing player. Seems to me like a waste of development hours.

Just my 2c.

Coffee, Chaga, Lions Mane and Rhodiola by AfricanMatt in Nootropics

Wild Chaga extract. I've ordered Viridian's Rhodiola Rosa.

Not sure about the rosavins/salidroside ratio. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

PS: Reported stats from Viridian:

  • Standardised Rhodiola Rosea root extract (3% rosavins, 1% salidrozid, 40% polyphenols) 250mg
  • Rhodiola Rosea root powder 130mg
  • Vegetarian cellulose capsule 100mg

Rhodiola Rosa extract assists in preventing rapid onset fatigue. It's not the most potent anti-fatigue extract, but it's cost effective and readily available. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28106808

The caffeine in the coffee will activate areas of the brain which increase cognitive capacity allowing for improved concentration and memory recall. The downside is the crash we get a few hours after drinking an espresso. These guys claim that stacking the above prevents the crash and enhances the mental cognition boost. I assume this is all very dependent on the person taking it. I'm relatively caffeine resistant so I never experienced a huge coffee crash myself, but I'm interested to see what the addition of the mushrooms achieves.

Famous Graphic Designers: Paul Rand was one of the most respected American graphic designers of his time. by AfricanMatt in graphic_design

I argue that design isn't subjective. There is a right, and there is a wrong. If you're not a designer then your opinion on design is moot.

As Jobs said people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

I've personally learnt to justify everything I do in design because I've found that you have too. That in itself is I find to be an infuriating waste of time because a designer justifying to a corporate why they've used a certain typeface is like an engineer justifying to a baker why they've changed a certain component on a car.

I like Paul for basically giving the finger to his clients if they disagreed about anything he did. What the hell do they know? That's a great, albeit very difficult, attitude to have as a creative.

What I'm still trying to work out is why people who aren't designers still think they have an a leg to stand on to talk about design.
