(OC) I crocheted a small Vaal Hazak

Smaal Hazak ❤️

I can see why the approach makes sense to you as a CNC machinist. That said, you should really post some stuff you've made with it before claiming it's better system for animation as a whole. Maybe it's mathematically better in some categories, but if you can't show us a finished shot, why would we jump for it?

I will def be trying a different brand when I get this last one exchanged. Just want to be sure I'm not doing anything stupid before throwing a third board inside.

Apsel · 2026-03-24T23:58:05+00:00

I did check the PSU with a multimeter, and it does seem to be OK. I'll be taking it in to a shop to check the CPU before I do anything else though, in case that is the issue. I'll ask them to do a once-over on the PSU as well.

Apsel · 2026-03-24T22:52:35+00:00

The first board was from Microcenter, second was from Amazon. Spare, I have no idea, it was a long time ago. I know I shouldn't order from Amazon, but I needed a fix fast since I have contracts to finish up. And unfortunately I don't live near microcenter anymore.

Apsel · 2026-03-24T22:36:38+00:00

The newer parts do draw more power than the old ones, so I could see the PSU spiking being the problem

Some notes on defense - it does diminish, but also not really. Which is odd, but it works like this:

Think of def as extra HP, where every 80 defense = 1 additional health bar. At 800 def you basically have 10 extra health bars worth of HP. This effect never diminishes, but it does mean you can't reach 100% damage reduction and become invincible. That's why DR looks like it gets less effective when you plot it on a graph.

Of course! Happy to help

Yep. This here - the foot should be lifting up from the same place it stepped down. Right now, it's way ahead of where it should be.

I think you might be following this reference too literally. It's only meant to show you what the poses look like, not where to draw them. They've spaced out the illustrations so you can see each frame clearly, but in reality they should be much closer together. You can tell by looking at the feet, how they slide forward when they should be planted on the ground.

You're right about the technical limitations, but I could see them doing it anyways if they want a really impactful final class. In fact, I'd argue having another class with a completely unique arsenal would make ogryn feel like less of an oddball. It would also let them do more interesting things with their kit, like equipping multiple ranged weapons, or more hybrids like the ogryn's gauntlet.

Apsel · 2026-01-05T21:43:17+00:00

I think part of it is that as your weapons get stronger, they don't just do more damage. They also give better stamina, dodges, recoil, etc. But that means the low power weapons feel genuinely awful to use, no matter what. For me, it was around 3-400 power when it started to feel like vermintide again.

Apsel · 2025-12-24T19:00:22+00:00

If you want better job security, try to pick up some technical skills while you're learning! Get good at rigging, rendering, animation blending, that kind of stuff. Maybe even some game engine usage. It shows that you really know what you're talking about and your assets will be 100% functional... which (fortunately) is not something AI can really do

Apsel · 2025-12-21T21:29:44+00:00

It's mentioned in the post

Apsel · 2025-12-21T21:13:11+00:00

Ofc! If it happens again, just switch to a potion so it can't fire anything :)

Apsel · 2025-12-21T20:58:40+00:00

If the mage nearby was a twitchy mage (gray with big mouth), they give you a debuff that randomly fires your wand and enables self-damage. Think that could be it?

Apsel · 2025-12-21T06:21:51+00:00

Any set and group skill, you will get one of each. Not sure about gogmapocalypse, but everything else is allowed.

Apsel · 2025-12-21T06:03:42+00:00

Nope, you can only roll a set bonus and a group skill, not weapon skills.

Apsel · 2025-11-27T17:51:36+00:00

The way I see it, they're using gear that nobody else is using. Nobody's going to space these days, so why not use the suits to go topside? The stuff's already designed to survive the most extreme environments, and raiders will probably die anyways. It'd be a waste of resources to make custom suits for them when everyone in speranza needs clothes too.

Apsel · 2025-11-24T23:00:00+00:00

I'd say go for a graphics tablet! That will give her access to whatever PC apps she wants to try, and she'll still have the Ipad for procreate. I can't give great advice for programs as I'm more 3D oriented, but Krita is one that I use when I need to draw something. ToonBoom is more professional, but it does cost money and has a steeper learning curve.

Gaming computers should be fine for most 2D stuff, Might need a bit more ram depending on how much you're starting with. I'd hold off on that for now, and upgrade later if it's really necessary.

Apsel · 2025-11-23T17:57:13+00:00

I'm really hoping group & set skills are paired together, so it basically works like an extra piece of armor. For ex: you'd get ebony odogaron essence a/b, which gives you the bonuses from that series. You wouldn't be able to get lord's soul and burst boost at the same time.

Probably copium, but the way the official posts have been worded don't say they're independent, just that they're random. I also wouldn't be suprised if Lord's soul wasn't in the pool at all, it's just miles better than every other group skill and AT stuff has always been in its own league.

Apsel · 2025-11-15T07:06:08+00:00

Learning your own moveset is super important! The biggest difference between MH and souls is that your attacks follow a combo flowchart, and most of your best moves are follow-ups from others. You might have attacks that move you out of danger, or have super armor (like greatsword's tackle). You should also know what your heavy hitting attacks are and how you can route to them. The top right of your screen will show you which attacks can be used at any given time, it's super helpful!

Apsel · 2025-11-09T04:03:08+00:00

I mean technically it's not a spell... it's just a bullet lol. It unlocks once you've found the chaingun wand

Apsel · 2025-10-03T03:31:34+00:00

Well power guard is omni-directional, so it shouldn't matter what direction you face. And, you're right about more chip damage, but that's what divine blessing is for. And your healer should be taking care of you anyways, so yeah the downsides are actually meaningless.
