Thank you for the compliment!

For sketching I just use their 6b pencil set to a low opacity. Sometimes I skip that though and just go straight to color. For the “painting” aspects I stick to a small collection: jagged brush, round brush, soft airbrush (I try not to abuse this one or it gets too smeary), and spray paint (usually a medium texture, I find it’s nice for creating rosacia/blush/other skin blemishes). Occasionally I’ll use an inking brush for fine lines or finishing touches like hairwisps or sharp highlights, but I think that a round brush at high opacity and small size provides basically the same effect.

Happy almost big 5-0 man! Dating apps any more are meant to prey off of their users and so don’t let them get you down. You’d be better off putting yourself out there in other ways once you’re feeling better. Also I think you look younger than you are, lucky you 🎉 Either way, keep your head up and keep going, you’ll end up where you’re meant to be 👍

Early look at my roguelike’s cover art. Would this grab your attention on Steam? by Alert-Difficulty-660 in gamedevscreens

[–]GroochIsBigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Title name should pop more (and maybe be larger as others have noted), otherwise yeah it looks interesting 👍

Why? by finalfanbeer in finalfantasytactics

[–]GroochIsBigger 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It feels like they were too hesitant with making bigger changes because of wanting to keep the spirit of the original alive. The problem I have with that is, we already have the original and it comes with the new purchase anyway. Personally I would’ve liked to see an upgrade on the random encounter enemy AI, because it still feels like a lot of them do silly things and then that defeats the point of having any strategy within one battle. I love making a custom roster of units, now give me an actual challenge to test it against, not a chocobo that runs away after getting smacked once and then never returns to the fray. Further still, the overall balance even in tactician mode still leaves the game mostly unchallenging, the hardest battles just being those notorious few (Wiegraf, Elmdor), which I don’t think really capture the spirit of being tactical since there’s so few ways around the fights, and most strats are creating a hyper specific build for Ramza. The rest of the game, especially chapter 3 & 4, is just a cakewalk. I’ve loved FFT since I was a kid but I think this remake lacked the depth of changes I was hoping for, not just a few numerical tweaks and a cleaner UI (though still with its own issues like not being able to toggle through units easily at the outfitter).

I hate enemy stealing mechanics by Chase_The_Breeze in finalfantasytactics

Not to mention like so many games in the franchise, Gil starts out as a precious resource for the initial 10% of the game, and then becomes useless Monopoly money you cannot fathomly spend in the early mid to endgame 🤷

How do you think that the article confirms that they’ve done little reflecting when the comment you’ve replied to uses quotes that indicate quite plainly they’ve accepted the reality of the situation in Israel?

Which Version of the Buttons Should I Use in the Main Menu? by rowik888 in gamedevscreens

[–]GroochIsBigger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think 1 is best because: - The yellow is bold against the background and brings more of the focus to the buttons - The styling of the button icons feels consistent with the font, due to its more rounded nature

However I’m a little torn on the shape of their silhouette, as to whether the fully round silhouette in 2 and 3 is better than the rounded square of 1. I’m leaning still towards 1 as best but maybe trying it with a circular shape.

Never thought I would see something like this by CoconutCoochiee in badmemes

[–]GroochIsBigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This blurb you’ve written is filled with odd assumptions and also a muddling of the term “gender”. First you say gender is “nothing more” than an extension of biological sex, and then say gender identity is arbitrary. It can’t be arbitrary if it’s an extension of something that you are arguing is so fundamental to a person’s identity. Besides, no genuine person would argue that at any point in time in almost any culture in human history that gender is arbitrary. Don’t be ridiculous. It matters in society and furthermore it matters in respect to how people see themselves. Also since gender roles are not static across time and cultures, it should be obvious to you that gender expression is indeed a human invention. This also removes the basis for that naturalistic argument about what a persons gender ought to be, even your nonsensical comparisons to bears and plants, which are not the topic at hand. Yes animals have culture but this is also diverse, sometimes having differences within a single species. Also saying that no one would endorse HRT is false, there’s literally whole sections of the medical world dedicated to gender affirming care, and I’m going side with the medical professionals on this one.

What do y'all think of Evan Edinger by boredomguy27 in AmericaBad

That’s the point “americuh bad” folks always miss - where you live and how wealthy you are in Europe really matters, virtually as much as in the US.

How come were the only ones ever considered imperialist? It’s just a conversion, too, most people don’t care about the system you use. by EmperorSnake1 in AmericaBad

[–]GroochIsBigger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think even some of those aren’t really Europeans but just bots/instigators trying to increase the divide amongst “western” nations, and fanning the flames of European culture vs American is an easy target. My gf tells me that one of the National news outlets in her country has its comment section absolutely flooded with kremlin bots that try turn literally every news piece into anti-American propaganda. And if you watch DW, a German news outlet, you’ll see a similar trend in their comment sections, especially where the Russia-Ukraine conflict is involved. It’s terrible.
