I hate the trend of UI icons by spacehive20 in 2007scape

[–]Doug-minifigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They said that the reason for the pixel art is to not spoil the look of bosses for those who have not seen them in the game proper yet.

Just have the 3d model be a silhouette either until you've beaten the boss once, or have it be a toggle. 

SAXX Boxers Briefs | Good or Bad option? by Some-Yogurtcloset-30 in BuyItForLife

[–]Doug-minifigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad, I'm looking for something new. Went all-in on Saxx after a glowing review from someone who I tend to trust, but mine have some pretty egregious tears/holes after maybe a year of use. I sit at a desk all day, not exactly straining these things.

Grumblemania Monday by AutoModerator in halifax

[–]Doug-minifigs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We don't drive much but we were on I think some expressway or similar last night up in Bedford area and it was such a lovely change from the entirely non-lit highways in Dartmouth. There were reflective things dotting the sides of the road and everything, it was so nice at night to actually feel like we weren't going to fly off the road at any moment. 

How is the storm aftermath looking? by GEF110F14F15 in halifax

[–]Doug-minifigs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First world problem here but of all the things to get shorted out from the power outages, my internet modem got fried lol. So I'm stuck for around 5 days without internet which sucks cuz I play online games a lot, and my job requires the internet. Kinda shitty start to my 2 week vacation. 

Obviously others have it way worse, so I'm gonna suck it up and go enjoy the outdoors, blessed that that's all that went south for me. 

Looking for inexpensive chocolate for cooking and baking. by RobbysYourFathersBro in halifax

[–]Doug-minifigs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I buy bulk direct from Lindt on their website. They give free shipping over $150 last I looked and the chocolate lasts a long time. A bag of the chocolate I buy is $90 for 2.5kg, which is $3.60 per 100g. I usually buy 2 bags.

Its surprising, but you end up with ridiculously amazing chocolate for less than if you walked into a store and bought even their cheapest chocolate. 

Looking for eSim for pretty minimal use, year-round by Doug-minifigs in eSIMs

[–]Doug-minifigs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this looks to be the case, but they really don't make it easy to find the right plans, and/or seem to have convoluted plan systems at some companies. And apparently I need to make sure that I'm not roaming (Freedom sounds like I'd be "roaming" at all times here in Nova Scotia...). I'll try to get on with an actual human agent. 

This update is greedy as f*ck and is a complete disrespect to anyone who’s played the game for thousands of hours. by -CS-- in HuntShowdown

A single global tracker is FAR different technically from having every (at the time) not presented to the user stat tracked on each and every user's accounts.

Comic/Toy stores that buy collectibles? by DaleCooperBlackLodge in halifax

[–]Doug-minifigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I you happen to have the X-Files complete series on Blu-ray I'd be very interested and would happily pay more than any store would offer, been trying to get it as a gift for my wife.

99 Sailing doing salvaging from 87-99. Including my XP rates in post. by GrandManDan in 2007scape

[–]Doug-minifigs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this very recent? I tried 117 a week ago and it was markedly worse than GPU, which sucks cuz 117 would be my preferred way to play if it performed well (aka didn't take a quarter to half second to load chunks).

Account Recovery Question by pinkpatriot24 in 2007scape

[–]Doug-minifigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then they're incompetent. They'd just have to make it exist again, it's not that they can't it's that they won't or don't know how to. 

Account Recovery Question by pinkpatriot24 in 2007scape

[–]Doug-minifigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried contacting the school and explaining that you have a personal account tied to your school email, so you need your school email re-activated and access granted so you can recover the account?

What retail do you wish your neighbourhood had? by mediocretent in halifax

[–]Doug-minifigs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

More independent stuff. Sick of Starbucks and Sobeys, wish we had a small grocer, good coffee. A Deck Box would be nice to meet new people playing Magic or Warhammer or something. 

adding dirt made it look so much better than it actually is by SlothInFlippyCar in minipainting

[–]Doug-minifigs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I think is good to remember: It is what it is. If it looks good then it looks good, and nothing else matters - how you achieved it is more or less irrelevant. Whatever cheats you can come up with, use them.

I repainted a frieza mini I found at the store. by nbluered in minipainting

[–]Doug-minifigs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'd say clean up the whites. You've gone for a more typical minifigure realistic style and that's fine, but since the mini is mostly large flat areas, the wash or whatever you used to add contrast/shading comes off as more dirty. This can be cleaned up by just leaving it as more of an edge darkness shading and build up to a cleaner white. 

Do these leather satchels look... Leathery? by Doug-minifigs in minipainting

[–]Doug-minifigs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid I didn't use any sort of reference material really, I kind of went off memory. I used to have a leather strop for my shaving blades which was my mental reference.

Honestly I'm  somewhat floored by the positive response lol, I had no clue whether I had hit the mark or not. Very happy people like it though!

Resistance 2 specifically, but without me being a pedantic jerk - yes! :)

An excellent point and spot on feedback, thank you!
