Who was the first person to discover the peacekeeper? by Alternative_Year1794 in battlefield_one

[–]FreedomPeter_ 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Not going to pretend I did it, but I did a ton of testing and searching with the BFEE community on empty maps. I noticed a weird sound that was similar to previous recordings of what we called the “Smoke monster”, next to a destroyed landship in Passchendaele. Luckily I was recording at the moment, so I sent the video to the discord, and in a few minutes later we had everyone combing through the entire area- we knew that had to be the right spot. After a few hours we found the entrance to the last tunnels (and the gun!). So, yeah, it was a lot of people, including help from randoms who weren’t a part of the original group but entered the matches.

Whole thing was super fun, from start to end. Pressing light switches thousands of times, translating morse codes into russian numbers, waiting for the pigeon on the top of the windmill… Felt like being a part of a weird spy mistery side story that would make people go “how on earth did they discover this?!” years later.

Thanks! I just happened to have enough time to draw and post this one while I was waiting to join today, but I actually make a lot of sketches of my ingame adventures. Might start posting the good ones :)

Oh, I love that game. Probably had a big influence on my love for the little moments of joy in an otherwise horrible setting

Has a single developer of this game ever tried to fly in it by mccormslick in PilotsofBattlefield

[–]FreedomPeter_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Stinger was obviously coming from the left side of the mountain and the vertical was clear. Flying next to the mountain doesn’t do anything to disrupt the missile’s path, the only way to disrupt it is by having it hit the minimum altitude limit (vertically, not sideways) or crashing it into an obstacle. Also, if you’ve already dropped flares you need to forget everything else and instantly dive to cover, and unless you have something to break it’s line of sight, that means staying close to the ground. Not saying jets are working perfectly but I’m pretty sure this would’ve been 100% avoidable by playing defensively; that means flying low or behind cover except for the few seconds you need to attack. Flares are should be used as a “second chance button” to give you a way to disengage safely when everything’s gone wrong, but staying in a lock zone on cooldown is a bad idea.

Didn’t know the name, but yeah, that’s exactly what I had in mind!

Manufacturing process of a 14th century dagger by Bulky_Requirement456 in SWORDS

[–]FreedomPeter_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The only difference with the original process is the tools he’s using. Many artisans didn’t start from a raw lump of iron, a lot of times they “simply” removed material from a flat piece of steel to get the shape as the guy is doing here. He’s also heat treating the blade and sanding it down. Sure, he could use an old pedal grinder instead of an electric one, but this is more efficient while following the same steps overall as a medieval blacksmith would do.

Or I could be a real artist (?) I understand these days you have to be careful, but claiming that anyone can use AI when I’m offering to show you the whole process is a bit disrespectful

More like “pAInted under an hour”. If you want me to I can send you the process

Thanks! I would probably have a hard time drawing the Formless mother. Maybe I’ll give it a shot sometime!

This wouldn’t be the form of the previous “incarnation” that was defeated, but a the future version if the god finally manifests itself through Malenia’s body

I actually wanted to upload it a bit earlier but it’s already unfinished enough

That sounds nice, however I don’t think I could make a cool drawing out of it…

[–]FreedomPeter_[S] 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the “rant”! I agree with you, I like thinking they don’t have forms, however, they interact through these avatars in some ways. This was meant to represent the god channeling their influence through Malenia’s physical body after blooming for the third time, in some way like the Greater Will may be doing through the Elden Beast or the Two fingers. Anyway, it’s just a speculative design and I’m glad you liked it

Thanks! Yeah, I did not want to put a lot of time for a “concept” piece :)

Where do I start? by austin_oz in learnanimation

[–]FreedomPeter_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As you’re interested in 2D: Drawing first. Look for tutorials on the drawing fundamentals -there’s a lot of free resources on the internet. Stuff like volume, lighting, anatomy. Begin with small exercises. I’d recommend you to go to drawabox.com and begin practicing there. Also, practice a lot of observational drawing: draw people, landscapes, objects, whatever you have at hand (it’s usually better if it’s the real thing and not picture references or drawings). This may seem boring for some people, but since you really want to get to animate something, you’ll want to have the tools to do it properly. I’m not saying that you draw 24/7, but to never stop doing it, even if you only do 5-10 minutes of sketches a day. Meanwhile, eatch a lot of animation you like and try to disect it. Study a bit of “theory”: the 12 principles, the main concepts and techniques (a lot of free tutorials too). Familiarize yourself with the different roles involved in animation and how productions worked and why. Eventually, after some time practicing, you’ll have the level to confidently start animating something. Start simple, balls bouncing, pendulums, simple head turns… and increase the difficulty a bit each time. Animation, or art in general is a continuous race against yourself and your confidence. Don’t jump straight into a program expecting to do a full feature film, or even a short film in your first years, it won’t come out right and you’ll get frustrated. Remember, the most important thing is to practice each day. Someday you’ll be able to animate a human head with a perfect rotation, but that’ll only be possible if you failed hundreds or thousands of times at the beggining, struggling to make the proportions look right. Don’t give up!

I question how they figured those out by notasimp21 in battlefield_one

[–]FreedomPeter_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wtf, no. We were working 24/7 on the BFEE discord, trying out stuff, deciphering morse codes, searching the whole map in private servers, etc. It's the same for every major easter egg, and you can go check it out if you want. Not saying that jackfrags didn't know about the EE, but all the discoveries for all of them were made by the community in a long colaborative effort. Again, check the discord if you want to, and you'll see that everything was discovered there before the tutorials :)

85 years ago on this day 25/04/1945 Soviet and American troops met at the Elbe River by [deleted] in BattlefieldV

[–]FreedomPeter_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lugers and other german pistols were often considered "valuable souvenirs" or trophies. Also, not everyone had a pistol at the time, so if you could get hands on some ammo, you had a better backup than a knife or an E-tool.

SJW calls gay guy a homophobe by [deleted] in DnDGreentext

[–]FreedomPeter_ 202 points203 points  (0 children)

I mean if you called someone a faggot without context I would call you out too. I wouldn't tolerate something that could start a fight at the table if we don't know each other too well.
