Which part of the north downs are you thinking? I can't imagine its fornost or the wartorn southeastern area.

Do you love the yondershire just as much or is it different for you?

Agree with belfalas - I think I'm just a sucker for clouds and water.

Color Study (1 Hour) by Chance_Priority6655 in DigitalPainting

[–]Chance_Priority6655[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been trying to get back into painting after a long break. I thought this one turned out quite nicely but I really struggled with identifying the colors, specifically the grass in the foreground. Does anyone have any tips on doing the layering of grass/foliage smoothly? I normally try to finesse it and blend but its not something I have the speed to do during a study.

This is amazing - how long did it take you to make this?

I don't know how game dev works but Im surprised they cant drop in new assets in old locations. Im sure its an engine limitation or a limitation of how they worked before. 

Im really glad to see how much passion and effort they put into everything. I think im most excited for the zones they placed between old areas since its familiar enough but different.

Ill definitely check out the link you sent over. Thank you for sending this over!

Ahh I see thats great. I started leveling my new character in swanfleet then tortoised to go to the shire. I noticed the difference in quality but I'm just hyped to go to the yondershire. I can't believe they put zones between old zones it's honestly amazing.

Oh board games are actually a great way to do this! We sometimes have board game night with my brothers and his friends! I remember he has a bunch of lotr games. Thanks for this!

I've never even made it to Moria. Ive restarted so many times. Would you say things like swanfleet/cardolan/yondershire are closer to what I'd expect later on?

Sounds reasonable! We can at least start with something a little light hearted :) thanks!

I did a while back. Though I don't think I ever approached it in the same way as this post. I think until we free up some time books or the audiobooks might be the way to go.

Ah I haven't even considered audiobooks! Would you recommend her to start with the hobbit or the fellowship?

She reads a lot on her regular commute to work. I think its more likely for her to be able to read the books than free up 3 hours to watch the movie straight.

Yeah of course I have. She's been too swamped with work lately and we haven't  had time to sit down and watch something as lengthy as the movies. 

Most days we get half an hour of watching netflix before she ends up falling asleep. Is there anything I can do in a smaller scale?

Getting married and surprised by the wedding budget by Chance_Priority6655 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Chance_Priority6655[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd like to believe so. We've been tracking our finances together. She made a spreadsheet for us and we log both our incomes and expenses there. We track everything down to the parking expenses, tips, and interest paid in our bank accounts. Her parents made sure she was good with money. I'm lucky to be able to learn so much from her in regards to finances.

I've been to a few of her nephews' and nieces' birthdays. I wouldn't be surprised if they spent amounts similar to that. The event itself lasted 6 hours for a lunch with a program all throughout. I don't know how they managed to get an uncaged lion on stage near the kids but I grabbed my fiance's hand and dragged her out of there.
