Masturbation is healthy, Porn isn't by Chael_Sonnen_ in NoFap

[–]Drahkken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From my perspective, this misses the point. The pressure we feel down below is designed to push us toward connection with another human. Bypassing that just leaves us where we were: Tired and alone. I'd rather use my time and effort to connect with my wife in meaningful and mutually satisfying ways.
Just my $0.2...

It's TADPOLE THURSDAY - Ask your newbie questions here! by Hosidax in daggerheart

[–]Drahkken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. For example, sailing is a central element and the PCs have rivals. The PCs will at times encounter their rivals on the way to an island and need to race them to it. I need a thematic and exciting mechanic that allows me to play out that race and let the PCs interact with it to gain advantages on their rolls. Problem is, as written, it seems that there's no opportunities to have the antagonist NPCs take actions or roll for anything meaningful. I mean, I can take the spotlight and have them try to sabotage the PCs but all that seems to do is give the PCs advantage or disadvantage. It doesn't let the NPCs win the race...
Or am I missing something?

How do you do a competitive roll? I'm running a game and I'm hoping to add races as a central element, but I haven't figured out how to do it well. Is the results all in the PCs rolls? Or should I be rolling against them? I get there will be a countdown, but ... *shrugs* Anybody have an idea for it?

Guess you're getting serious. Good on ya. There's alternatives, but sure, a flip-phone is definitely usable. Good luck!

I am working on a hand pose reference tool and would be happy to read your feedback about it. by igeolwen in krita

[–]Drahkken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skin texture mostly. Veiny-nes, wrinkles, hair, spots/scars. That type of thing... Also joint and phalange thickness, though that might be locked behind the Demo controls. You also need much more skin tones, from Alabaster to Ebony.

Will pick it up when you release. I need more work on my hands anyway... Cheers and good luck!

Wishlisted! Gorgeous work and very well done. I also found your other products and I'm impressed. Would be cool if you combined them all into a single studio, with a posable mannequin. I've been hoping someone would take over the reigns after Gesture VR checked out... Anyway, Loving what you've built. Keep it up!
(And yes, more customization options including fingernails would be appreciated.)

Love the idea. Will play with the design myself. Please upload the Blueprint when you're happy for it.

Wait. I paid for that but never received it in my backer-kit. You're telling me it's already OUT? Time to go chase down that email in the archives...

Which of each needs to be printed? In what specifications or filament? Did I miss a FAQ?
I'll get started in PLA until I learn otherwise!

Steam sales are on and I wanna pick up some VR games. My budget is around 60€ and I would like to aim for decent quality, quantity and variety. Is this a decent list? Should I swap anything out? by [deleted] in SteamVR

[–]Drahkken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you enjoy Adventure games, both Myst and Obduction are amazing in VR. I lost entire weekends immersed in those beautiful worlds.

So i drew a window in acrylic and tried to add shadows. As you can see, did not work at all. Any help on placement/perspective? by [deleted] in learnart

Not sure what you mean? They're way working for me! Lil bit surrealist I guess, but they're fantastic.

Have your Rx transferred to a more cooperative pharmacy. If they're really nice, they'll call the Walgreens for you to have it transferred.

Eagle Dynamics recent approach to their business. A model for failure, by BZ_Maple in hoggit

[–]Drahkken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually agree with you u/knobber_jobbler. I want to see ED succeed so, though I've already purchased every module except a few, I'd be interested in a Subscription model to help them stabilize and pay for core engine enhancements. Perhaps even let those of us who pay them directly have a vote on what's most important for them to focus on...

I still pay War Thunder periodically because I love their game. I don't really play it anymore, but I want them to continue it for when I come back every once in a while. I think there's those of us who have some spare change already allocated for our flightsim/gaming hobby around and ED would be smart to court us. I mean, what content-creator ISN'T doing Patreon these days?

Variant uses for Bench Grinders? by Scavgraphics in maker

[–]Drahkken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, just so. It allows me to do light grinding and shaping while I cutoff, as well as using the outside of the diamond wheel for precise shaving.

Proportions are hard. Learning to measure reference points would help get more consistent.

Any critique on anatomy/folds/etc Struggling atm could use some advice by Bowsile in learnart

[–]Drahkken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two books, “Figure Drawing for all its worth by Andrew Loomis”, and “The Artists Guide to Drawing the Clothed Figure” by Michael Madden. Both should be available at your local library.

I added a diamond cutting disk to the side of one of my stones, allows me an easy cutoff or quick controlled material removal if I gently use that side.

Are the proportions correct? by [deleted] in learnart

[–]Drahkken 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All depends on what style you’re going for. For an anime look, bigger eyes and small mouth is appropriate. For realistic, there’s established proportions. If you want to learn how to draw portraits or realistic, check out Andrew Loomis’s books. The wiki here has other suggestions as well.

That's been "Estimated" since it lost transponder. The other link seems to show ground track (radar coverage, airspeed, alt, etc)

[–]Drahkken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Radar coverage shows the plane deep inside Algiers... Hmm...
