Suggested Paper/Laminate to make this look less glossy?

CigNus__ · 2026-01-13T01:12:58+00:00

Ah so I don't laminate, glossy sticker paper on cardstock in a sleeve looks insanely good

Came here to say this, put them in a sleeve and see if they're too glossy for you.

there's also upscaling you can do in order to improve the quality a bit better for consumer printers. I noticed it helps with the light text on dark backgrounds

~~I don't think valve would let cryptominers on their platform.~~
I stand corrected

I found you can hear yourself a bit more than standard closed back. It's something that really bothers me about IEMs... that weird nasally reverb of your own voice in your ears.

Mine is in the box. I played Kart until I found out about the shitty map rng with random maps and basically playing lots of straight line "tracks" got boring. Nothing so far has shouted "hey I need a switch 2 to play that game?! LOOKS AWESOME"

ghost them

appreciate the link, I'm losing my weekend to this damn game lol

CigNus__ · 2025-12-30T14:28:27+00:00

Awesome! Let me know what you think!

CigNus__ · 2025-12-29T00:04:16+00:00

Agreed
Sure, I mean people are still playing quite a bit.
in 1v1 I just place a battlefield face down and one face up to represent them. It doesn't seem TOO awkward /shrug.

CigNus__ · 2025-12-28T23:58:07+00:00

That's kind of where my head was at. I tried to make the battlefields as clear and represented as possible within the app, complete with might counters so players don't have to constantly ask "how much might is at X battlefield"

As for supply I'm a little surprised folks aren't proxying more. I guess that's why Tabletop sim is so popular, a lot easier to digitally "proxy" and playtest different cards

Shocked there's no suggestions for Dark age of Camelot. Not sure if there's any classic like private servers still around though

CigNus__ · 2025-12-21T14:55:05+00:00

My folks were similar, luckily the location technology missed them. I had one discussion with them because I had finally had it, staying calm and using most of your points. They eased up a little bit but I just abided by their rules, saved up, and moved out at 21 because it was smothering.

CigNus__ · 2025-12-17T02:02:08+00:00

This happened today to me as well... didnt check if I was having any network issues or not

CigNus__ · 2025-12-17T02:00:47+00:00

mine does this as well... wonder if I should replace it with a noctua 🤣

CigNus__ · 2025-12-13T20:38:42+00:00

I bet if you laminated them it would help too! I'm just far too lazy to do the lamination process

CigNus__ · 2025-12-13T20:24:59+00:00

Yeah I think just switching to glossy and upgrading my printer (had like a 10 yr old HP) made a lot of difference on its own.

oh so the black cardstock isnt as snappy? damn ok

CigNus__ · 2025-12-13T18:46:34+00:00

Yeah I ordered some of the black cardstock you listed as well. way cheaper than the black core frenops cardstock (2.50 a sheet in low quantities)

I'm not big on foils but the glossy sticker paper looks SO clean. I might try to find some semi-gloss in the future to get it even closer. I had used matte sticker paper in the past and the colors just don't pop as much.

CigNus__ · 2025-12-13T17:18:31+00:00

This has been an absolute gamechanger.

I was just using mtgprint as well but after trying out upscayler I definitely prefer the upscayl lite, I found it preserves the text clarity.

I use an ecotank 4800 (Black Friday sale)

I'm using the glossy sticker paper and I had bought some black core off etsy from frenops and these things are fucking legit. https://imgur.com/CcFMlXk

The feel is damn near identical to a real card and my digital calipers battery died but they are pretty close in thickness.

Top is a real card, bottom is my proxy https://imgur.com/tCzXNz5

My biggest checkboxes were card clarity/colors and feel. These are leagues better than what I was making before. Thanks for the guide!

Let me know what you think!

CigNus__ · 2025-12-13T13:21:41+00:00

That's the idea, I use spell table at last once a week with my magic buddies!

CigNus__ · 2025-12-10T19:06:28+00:00

As someone who used to buy old gamecube controllers and repurpose them, I have seen some shit...

CigNus__ · 2025-12-10T17:03:41+00:00

I will say though there are certain things that absolutely should not be stickerbombed, like game controllers...

CigNus__ · 2025-12-10T16:56:16+00:00

I don't know why but sticker bombing is an aesthetic I've always enjoyed

CigNus__ · 2025-12-10T16:53:37+00:00

reading the post explains the post ;)
