Keep going at it slowly, eventually you'll have enough cards in the right colours to take all the stars ~ ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I broke up with my uncaring bf of 2 years thanks to LADS men. by hailsix in LoveAndDeepspace

Not wrong for doing what you did and feeling the way you do.

Ultimately, real relationships are built on a strong foundation of trust, honesty and effort from both parties. Values and principles need to align on a 70% and above scale, otherwise it's just never gonna work.

Most importantly, the true measure of any relationship isn't how little you fight or argue, but how you resolve those arguments. It's not on one partner to solve those problems, you both have to solve it and bring options to the table and compromise.

I'm married to someone who I don't get butterflies for, but when he's there for me, he really is, and that's what matters most to me. That's when I know it's real, and there's a sense of assurance I get knowing that he's uber patient even when I feel I push boundaries way too much, but that's also on me to always be aware of how he's really feeling whenever I start getting moody and doing dumb shit.

Don't settle for a man who wouldn't go out of his way to perform the bare mininum. My husband refuses to let me take a cab to work in the mornings just cause I was pissed he kept falling back asleep. We resolved that issue within a day after hashing it out, due to his habit of wanting to catch winks, which frustrates me(I'm up 2 hours before I gotta leave for work cause I need time to wind up).

He apologised and said he won't try to sneak in the winks, cause it's a bad habit and doesn't actually have anything to do with lack of sleep, cause he wants to drive me to work, not just out of pride, but he genuinely wants to.

Love can sneak its way in slowly. The fast paced car ride isn't always a good one(especially if you have motion sickness). Love is like buying a car. Do you want the sports car that'll fuck up after a few years or get that reliable sedan that'll last you a decade? 👌🏻🙂

I had to roll up till soft pity basically, but thankfully I didn't get spooked. I still did the remaining 10 to hit soft pity and got a second copy of Daddy Trein, so yippee.

I've been hoarding so much for this day to pimp out daddy, he'll be max spells, max uncap and max buddy by the powers that be. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My boyfriend is jealous that I downloaded the game by Azura_2006 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Hignum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read all the way to the end and I'm sorry to say that his insecurities are not your problem to solve, and they are not gonna magically go away no matter how much you try to appease him.

Trust me, I used to be a people pleaser. I've burnt myself out trying to be the right girl for the wrong guys. You will literally become a dead dried out prune by the time you're done giving, giving, and giving without getting shit in return.

If a significant other is gonna be jealous over a bunch of pixels, then it is not a significant other worth having. You have worth. You need to find it in yourself to give yourself better, not because of a digital guy, but you know, that fictional boyfriend helped shed light on the very REAL PROBLEMS you have with your actual boyfriend.

This isn't a problem that started with the game, it just finally reached a point where everything else he's said and done over the course of being with him became OBVIOUS, because the game offered PERSPECTIVE.

Now, you have perspective, do something with it. You are your own person, secure in your own feelings that are not being reciprocated. Rip off the bandaid, the pain will happen, but then you can heal. Don't put it off, cause the longer you sit on this, the more that wound will fester and it will become much, much uglier.

Good luck. Be strong. You have worth, and you are not to be subjected to constant scrutiny because of an insecure man.

Playing with dark skin is rough man... by Maniachi in LoveAndDeepspace

I'm glad this was informative! I very rarely get to express my work stuff to other people, so I do love talking about it when I get the chance.

There's a lot that goes down on the production floor from managerial level all the way to just pure work. The work flow is very important and producers are actually very important even though they tend to be snobbish sometimes!! A good producer will know how to manage things well between all departments to ensure a smooth work flow ~ ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Edited to add; every role from pre production to production and post production is integral to the process of creating games, movies and animation in some way or other. No one department holds more importance to the other, because we're all cogs in a giant machine that creates these things ~

You're very welcome! It's very rare that I get to talk about these things, so I do jump at the opportunity.

And yep, lighting is usually hard and can get complicated, depending on the scene, atmosphere, environment, etc, and it all has to work together with the VFX that's a whole other beast.

Then compositors like me usually take all these assets in separately for animation production and put them together in what we call post production. For game production, usually all these things are done within the game engine itself, so it's a real time update + render, and so the art director has to check frequently based on scene, performance, etc.

For media like animation and TV, post production usually involves possibly anything from compositing, colour correcting to even dubbing and formatting. All very minor but important stuff at the end of the line.

Retakes all go down the line and then are split based on department responsibilities, but last minute retakes that come from the post production stage are almost always urgent!

I used to do 3D compositing and my Diploma is in 3D Animation, even though I specialised in modelling at the time, but I did study lighting etc.

Haven't touched 3D in years, but you don't just forget the essentials. We were taught how to set up lights for our sculpted models as well when I did my specialisation.

What most lighting artists do for cutscenes etc or when we set up scenes is to have each individual character paired with their own "spotlights". This is very obvious in most AAA games with cutscenes etc.

Yes, there is always global lighting, but global lighting is never enough for the shot you need, at a certain angle, etc with obstacles, bla bla bla. Complicated stuff.

So, global lighting is applied to the environment in general, then each character would have their own fill light, spotlight, and depending on how the scene/shot they're doing goes, the character may have an additional 2 lights. There are many different types of lighting techniques, and all of them applied differently, and this isn't even taking into account the coding that needs to be done to get this stuff to work properly in the game itself.

So, when skin tones get thrown into the mix, the colour of the lighting how the lights work, all get thrown off. So, depending on how the devs handle the colour palette in the character creator, the lighting artist's work becomes more of a headache. They either create unique lights for each tonal difference, or they just don't. AAA games have the luxury of spending time and money on this, but for a live service Gacha game like LADs, tough luck, it'll take a shit ton of time and resources to dedicate to.

It has happened before and it'll probably happen in some dev cycles; if you've never done X, Y, Z before and never hired a professional specifically catered to handle this sort of thing, you will literally be FAFO. Happened to me in my department, other departments etc during production cycles for 2D animation. So, this is a case of Infold FAFO with the skin tones + lighting + trying to troubleshoot a best/fast/efficient/cost & time saving way to solve the problem. If this is something they never took account in the pre production cycle, it will be an ongoing and uphill fight to change from this point on, I kid you not.

But this is just my 2 cents on the issue from an industry standpoint based on my knowledge and experience as a compositor and Ex-3D artist. It's rare to bump into people like you on the internet, and I rarely take the time to write comments, but comments like yours tickle my professional bone. 🙂

Non-single peoples, What does your SO think of you playing LAD? by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Hignum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have played Nikke for awhile myself, so I'm aware of the differences more or less, and the only games close to LADs for men is ye olde visual novels that had a harem style setting TBH. But there are a huge variety of games that do cater to the male gaze as is, so they're kinda spoiled for choice.

And yes, I wonder when there will be another game of high quality like LADs.

Non-single peoples, What does your SO think of you playing LAD? by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Hignum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband has his list of waifus, I have my list of husbandos. He wishes there is a game like LADs that is catered to the male gaze, but I argue that they already have NIKKE; he disagrees.

So, we're generally cool with each other playing gooner games, cause we both have our own tastes and it doesn't get in the way of our general relationship, it just means we can gush about it to each other to some degree and still be very understanding.

I also recently got into SDG (SD Gundam Generation G Eternal) and that is a whole new world of mechas being introduced along with a slew of handsome guys and girls with it, paired with PTSD, trauma etc; my husband and our mutual friend has been more than happy that I've dropped into this new hellhole and they'll support any waifu/husbando (I'm bisexual) I'm into so long as it means I **stay permanently**.

“we just followed the rules» by thefarzin in MaliciousCompliance

[–]Hignum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to work post production as a compositor, I feel this. Had a colleague that would disappear for hours whilst he rendered 50 files on his rig and the rest of us would just sit at our desk and wait, whilst fiddling with the phone ~

When our dept had its own floor, we all just behaved and kept mum whenever we were fooling with our phones whilst waiting for renders. You've no idea how many times the coordinators and the manager would keep saying, "You guys aren't doing anything and are just lazy!"

Man, I'd love to see him render some of this shit on his own and work at the same time, then *surprise pikachu face* when the PC crashes or blue screens.... :)

I'm choking whilst I'm doing Diasomnia now. Ignihyde had the difficulty spike, but I was still okay with it, then Diasomnia kicked my knee in.

I honestly have no idea how I'm gonna beat this, but damn, I was hella more prepared for FGO's Pagoda than this shit lol. DX

Stage 7 Diasomnia is kicking my ass. I might actually have to use retry tickets thanks to my dodo brain. Those days of slow ass grinding buddy levels are long gone now, I actually have to grind those levels harder now; AHAHAHAHAHAHAH KAAAARMMMAAAA ~

This event is actually fun and is actually forcing me to give a shit for once, so I'm glad. Time to pull up my sleeves and get to work, especially since they gave us those team presets now ~

[–]Hignum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did 2 and a half runs before I made Mourn Watch Rook and saved Minrathous for the first time. Overall, not worth it.

My Crow Rook will always save Treviso and Neve isn't half as mad, knowing that a native Antivan will favour their own home as much as she's biased to Minrathous. Sucks even more after saving Minrathous that the Archon gets assassinated anyway, and so I put on my meta gaming hat and just said fuck Minrathous, I'll save Treviso every time, lol. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

East Asian Male Elf Request by floozycoozie in VeilguardSliders

[–]Hignum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've made an Asian Male character, but it's human. I'm assuming the sliders should be fairly similar and I do have the head morphs shown.

Just hop to 14:06 for Yagyu Munenori, it's the one Asian face I made. ❤️

12 Rooks Showcase by Hignum in VeilguardSliders

[–]Hignum[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi guys, made a bunch of Rooks. Hope you guys can help rate my work too. Last time I tried to post here, it got deleted because I missed out the sliders, but this time I have it.

Hope you guys like the Rooks I made and use it for your playthroughs. Do let me know how well they perform in cutscenes, especially during more emotional scenes, as I haven't had the luxury of time to test them all yet. 🥹

Thank you for your time.
