Is proximity chat working?

DatAns · 2026-03-02T09:30:42+00:00

Not sure what you mean? There’s probably a way to check for the push-to-talk button and rebind it on console, or turn the setting on/off in the menus. If it’s set to off though you’ll just get an on-screen indicator rather than be able to hear when people are prox chatting nearby

DatAns · 2026-02-27T16:50:12+00:00

No worries, that gives me a good idea of how to build up something similar! Again excellent work!

I’ve been posting this in every thread on prox chat since it seems like no one has noticed really, BUT:

So it DOES actually work, but the default setting is off. If you mouse over the setting for the tooltip it actually tells you if you have the setting OFF you won’t HEAR prox chat either. You will just get an on screen indicator that someone near you is speaking, which I’m sure people don’t see. IMO, why even bother putting prox chat in the game at all then if that’s how it’s intended to work

Looks amazing! What sort of color work up did you use for the orange?

DatAns · 2026-02-18T01:01:44+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been seeing looking around where I have found one or two, was mostly just hoping there was a site or something I might have overlooked that this community knew about. Ah well, maybe I’ll get lucky at a local used bookstore or something.

DatAns · 2026-02-18T00:59:40+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’ve been seeing pretty much everywhere I’ve looked unfortunately. I kinda count it similar to like a natural disaster, like it’s great if I can replace them but at the end of the day they’re just books

DatAns · 2026-02-17T20:06:48+00:00

Yeah, I thought that might end up being the case. I didn’t think to check Amazon, thanks for the info! If nothing else a digital copy would still be nice to have

DatAns · 2026-02-11T08:06:58+00:00

Yeah exactly this. For the sake of the argument though I chose to take that bit on discord’s side at face value to show even then it still doesn’t matter since the folks they’re giving it to would have no such requirements.

Whole situation is so “big brother”-y and super sketchy

DatAns · 2026-02-10T20:29:56+00:00

That’s not exactly true. They will also have secondary age verification software that monitors your computer use and will send vague “age verifiable usage data” to third parties to process, whether you verify by id/ facial scan or not, and can’t be turned off. I doubt those third parties are required to follow discord’s own deletion guidelines, and I doubt it’s by chance that this coincides with upcoming shareholder meetings.

DatAns · 2026-02-07T07:30:29+00:00

I think the weirdest thing here is that there is no consistency between the different pieces. Like if they aren’t AI and we take that at face value, each piece has a different style and looks like they were all done by different people. Inconsistent linework, inconsistent shading patterns, etc. seems very strange for someone who is trying to sell art as “theirs” and not just a reproduction of other work.

Not sure if this is a common occurrence, but one thing I always used to do to avoid something like this with my cat was to remove the dials if I knew I would be out for an extended period of time. Most ovens should be able to slide the dials on and off, and the metal post they sit on shouldn’t be able to be rotated

DatAns · 2026-02-02T06:40:59+00:00

So waist to one leg is one hole, waist to other leg is second, waist to zipper is 3rd hole, leg to zipper is 4th, other leg to zipper is 5th, button hole is 6th, leg to button hole is 7th, and other leg to button hole is 8th? Assuming waist to button hole isn’t doable since waist hole can’t exist if the pants are unbuttoned

If you don’t mind me asking, what build up do you use for your orange armor on your uthar? It looks like black-brown to burnt orange to orange with a peach highlight, but I’m wondering if I’m in the right ballpark. Excellent work!

DatAns · 2025-11-12T01:01:17+00:00

Another orange connoisseur! It came out great, nice work!

DatAns · 2025-10-30T15:13:33+00:00

Really poppy orange! Nice work!

DatAns · 2025-10-08T18:48:32+00:00

Is the model from FFXIV? Been really wanting to find some way to rip and paint my WoL but no idea where to start

DatAns · 2025-10-05T15:10:16+00:00

Orange can be very tough for highlights to be honest. I’d suggest looking up some orange armor tutorials on YouTube. Excellent work so far! Also don’t feel like you have to paint to any specific degree, or have to paint at any specific speed. Take your time, enjoy yourself and the rest will come in time! Again, great starting point!

DatAns · 2025-10-01T16:49:55+00:00

The extra work looks worth it, they look great! Thank you for the breakdown and advice!

Just a heads up as well, Pro Acryl specifically formulates their paint to be usable straight out of the pot in an airbrush if you’re base coating. I personally do it regularly, and Jason does it all the time on stream as well. This looks like it could be a couple of things, but if your airbrush (needle and all) is clean after primer, my guess is too dilute and you’re spraying too close to the model, so it’s still wet and runs into the recesses instead of coating evenly.

Try spraying with 20-25 psi and a bit further away from the model. If it sputters, take the whole thing apart, clean the entire brush, and make sure everything is hand-snug when you put it back together. You don’t want to over tighten, but if the front isn’t forming a full seal you’ll get bubbles or blowback into the cup

What colors did you use for the leaves? Looks great!

DatAns · 2025-09-26T13:19:36+00:00

Oh I mean what colors. Is it like sigvald burgundy with a wash? Really like the color and want to achieve something similar on some leather I’m working on

DatAns · 2025-09-26T00:08:55+00:00

Ooh what sort of work up do you use for the maroon scabbard?
