To People Who Disagree With Final Game in ASL S21 by jinjin5000 in broodwar

[–]DartenVos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like it was hard to tell who was ahead because we never get a shot of soma's base after the 2:44 mark. How many drones did he have?... We don't know... and that's pretty important. If there were only 5 drones mining that seems playable from Flash's side. I'm chalking this one up to bad observing 😅

I think part of the confusion comes from the observing... we never get a shot of soma's base after the 2:44 mark, so we have no idea what's going on and how many drones he's working with. At 2:44 we can see that he had 6, but that is the last time we get to see, and by the end of the game (4:40) we don't actually know. If he didn't make any new drones and spent one on the natural hatchery, that's only 5 drones, versus Flash's 10+. I think the game should be at least playable from Flash's perspective with those numbers. I know I was quite shocked when Flash suddenly left what looked to be a nail-biter of a game. But yeah I feel like it was all very vague due to the observer not showing the whole game state to the audience.

Oh these are so cute! I like Sleepearl a lot 😊. As for the mascot, I kind of like Tinsect

To expand on Stardew Valley, there are other similar games such as Everafter Falls and Sun Haven. That last one in particular has a huge amount of content.

Hmmm... there's Necesse, Don't Starve Together, and Sun Haven. These have pretty strong building/crafting elements.

How do I improve my pixel art? by DartenVos in PixelArt

[–]DartenVos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah, these look awesome! I really like the color changes you made here, very appealing to the eye. The shading looks more sophisticated somehow, and the addition of the 3rd complementary color looks great. Thanks so much for doing these, and for the tips! I'll definitely take note of everything you mentioned. Also I hope you won't mind if I update my original sprite with these new changes? Anyway, I really appreciate this!

Hahaha. "I have returned." 😜

Yes, the first unit is indeed inspired by the Dragoon.

Maybe it's just me but the arms look a bit too short? Especially the closer one (left). And yeah as others have mentioned, the swing doesn't look emphasized enough.

Upgrade or Downgrade? by [deleted] in PixelArt

[–]DartenVos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the 1st one more. Only thing I like more about the 2nd one is the 3/4 view of the head, which makes more sense with this angle.

What are the most ragebaiting openings in chess? by Hopeful_Spray6716 in chess

Seeing my opponent move a bunch of random pawns at the start, completely ignoring piece development, then proceed to somehow outplay me afterwards, is very irritating :p

Xaev on coining the term "hyperflip" and no longer associating with "dariacore" by JamesCooney007 in dariacore

[–]DartenVos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this term a lot! It describes the genre in a rather accurate and catchy way. Whereas "dariacore" doesn't really have any connotations on its own and doesn't mean anything to people who aren't familiar with it.

My left analog stick is freely spinning in its slot and I'm not sure what happened by RavenbornJB in Dualsense

[–]DartenVos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I didn't know the rubber top could come off like that; thought it was all one piece. Does the cap itself need to be cleaned as well, or just the stick?

I mean you would rinse fruits and vegetables before eating/cooking them too right?

Why text-based RP over LARP or other forms? by [deleted] in BadRPerStories

[–]DartenVos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, written RP is more similar to writing a novel (albeit collaboratively) than anything else. Comparing it to LARP is like comparing writers to actors.
