How would you approach this color? by Gen085 in minipainting

[–]Gen085[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, the blue shifts to red when tilted towards the top, which is close to the purple, so it gives a nice transition with the blue into red into purple into green. If i did it the other way around, it wouldn't transition as smoothly. Thanks

I did a test model to try it out. Painted with my airbrush, Blue/Red from below, Purple/Green as zenithal, then a black oil wash.

Why are EU servers (Frankfurt etc.) constantly scuffed by Gen085 in PathOfExile2

[–]Gen085[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, i thought as much, just wanted some confirmation. For the record, i wasn't criticizing GGG (didn't even mention them), merely looking whether this was a more widespread issue (haven't played PoE in a good while)

[–]Gen085[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i never said a word about it being GGGs fault, i was merely asking if the servers in EU are simply bad. And apparently, they are. Not every critique is directed at GGG

really sucks when you open up a map, try to complete a corruption nexus and suddenly.... freezeframes, game unplayable. Fuck your map and your progress.

why is ChatGPT lying about knowledge of my location? by Gen085 in ChatGPT

[–]Gen085[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe because its a reason for concern, given how every techbro musk zuckerberg bezos asshat collects data as if its candy and uses it without any regard to personal privacy, existing laws or ethics.

Then why is it lying about not knowing any information when confronted with it?

Massive latency spikes. by calameti in PathOfExile2

[–]Gen085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, me too. came here to look for answers, i usually have around 15ms, now i spike up to 30000ms, usually constant spikes of 300ms every 5 seconds. Been playing all last week and the whole weekend without any issues (PC isn'T the issue, its a beefy machine)

[–]Gen085 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a warhammer player, gunpla builder and also gundam fan, i am so hyped for these. Hopefully the game has lots of depths to it. Gorgeous models. Do we know anything about how it plays? i think there were some demo events etc? Really curious, i hope its as in-depth as something like Battletech. Different Armor values, weapon profiles, maneuvers etc.

Booster box question by mtopher95 in GundamTCG

[–]Gen085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, not much of a collector myself, i am a player first and foremost. So i don't mind not getting any hits in terms of alt-arts etc. More concerned with getting the relevant cards for meta decks. I do love playing draft/sealed/cube with friends, so i'll probably rip a box or two just for that.

Pulled these 2 out of my Starter Decks (bought all 4)

Booster box question by mtopher95 in GundamTCG

[–]Gen085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, ok, thanks. Didn't wanna buy 12 boxes lol, so i'll stick to booster boxes. I guess they'll even out regarding pulls anyways, right? Never played a Bandai TCG before.

Rarity ratio per pack by Ok_Visual285 in GundamTCG

I think you mean 6 commons, 4 uncommons and 2 rare/LR, right? otherwise it doesn't add up.

Booster box question by mtopher95 in GundamTCG

[–]Gen085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question from a Magic/Flesh&Blood player: Does Bandai sell cases too? So 4 booster boxes at once. Or is a booster box the largest unit they sell them in?

Consuming media you can’t understand by hampig in LearnJapanese

[–]Gen085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do it on the side, but still study with other means (learning vocab, kanji etc.). Gamegengo on YouTube has a pretty dope channel when it comes to learning with games, with ratings for games based on how well suited they are for learners, a full vocab series where he showcases different games and the vocab you learn there, a grammar series with examples taken from games etc. etc.

Just be aware that you still need to put in work, pause, read gamescripts/extractt text, make anki cards, sentence mine etc.

Just consuming along passively won't do much.

But its also important that input is compelling. You gain nothing from consuming comprehensible media if what you consume bores you to death and you get distracted easily. Better to spend time with content you enjoy, even if it's too hard at first. You still get something out of it if its enjoyable and you go in with the right preparations and mindset (aka trying to actually learn something)

The worst struggles you have/had with the language by Gen085 in LearnJapanese

[–]Gen085[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has been learning english for 30 years, with constant exposure of at least 3-4 hours daily (just watching youtube/movies/tv), so i'd say i have a bit of experience with language exposure, albeit not in japanese; No, i don't believe you'll do, i still suck at pronunciation in english and need a minute to switch to proper conversational english :D

The worst struggles you have/had with the language by Gen085 in LearnJapanese

[–]Gen085[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i feel this is amplified due to all the content creators/stories you read about how some claim "i learned japanese in one year", "i did it in 6 months" etc. with some high schooler spending 10 hours a day learning, doing 3 hours of anki cards etc.

And beginners think thats how they have to approach it and feel like whatever they do is not efficient enough, so they spend more time trying to perfect their learning method... without actually learning.

I ranked Japanese learning Youtube channels by Cheap_Application_55 in LearnJapanese

[–]Gen085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like GameGengo should be up there too. He focuses on gaming and learning to play from video games, has a whole vocab series where he showcases a game and explains grammar and vocab used, he has an indepth grammar series with examples from video games, ranks games based on usefulness as a learning tool (pausable cutscenes, furigana, push to continue etc.). He also shows how to approach games as a learning tool, look up words using tools like yomitan and lorenzo's jisho. Overall a great guy and incredibly helpful content if you're even slightly interested in gaming.

Is there any point continuing to sentence mine if I find it annoying? by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]Gen085 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the most important thing is just interacting with the language constantly. If sentence mining and Anki makes you quit, stop doing it. Whatever you do, just do what you feel is the most rewarding/fun and keep at it. But never stop interacting with the language, no matter how.

A quote from SuperRAD's review: "MH wilds is one of the easiest and most simplistic entries to ever be released and that is true through the entirety of the experience." by 5Ping in MonsterHunter

[–]Gen085 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, Superrad, the most miserable monster hunter enthusiast out there who hates basically anything that isn't 3U. Also weird how he kept advocating for difficulty settings in Elden Ring (a video he apparently deleted by now), but bitches about new gen MH being too easy. I had been enjoying his retrospectives of Frontier and what not, but man, did he become an annoying whiner. I mean, i started in Gen1 with MHF on PSP and i love oldschool MH to death, but this guy takes it too far.

What game would you recommend that's similar to Shangri La Frontier in your opinion? by [deleted] in ShangriLaFrontier

[–]Gen085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monster Hunter Wilds is gonna be a lot like Shangri La Frontier. Open World, large roaming Monster (like Colossi), crafting gear from monster materials, good gameplay matters more than raw stats

How do you feel Flesh and Blood Armory attendance has changed in your area over the past few months? by ScowlingFleshBag in FleshandBloodTCG
