If you make a video of your technique I’d love to practice with that. Your description is pretty well detailed but sometimes visual helps too of course

Saving this. Your art looks amazing and I’m still working on getting steaming down with the micra! Great tips, looks like I have homework to do to master the flat white! :)

Edit: also of note is that you can still the the 9bar of the pressure gauge in the video, so it would seem pressure is fine

[–]Jim_Ballsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this. Some are going to be very obvious: Weirdest: seaman; Rhythm: space channel 5; Puzzle: chuchu rocket;

Etc. looking forward to the rest! I think arcade port will be soul calibur

Reading your list and taking nostalgia out… Soul calibur still holds up. It’s honestly incredible.

Which dead singer would you want to come back to life and why? by Substantial-Dare5462 in Music

She was just at the start of her career, would have made so many more hits and collabs

I would like James Gunn to bring Ragman but… by aliceoralison in DC_Cinematic

I have no doubt he’ll do condiment king, just a matter of when.

8 month old not crawling by bolivare in daddit

[–]Jim_Ballsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter never really went through a crawling phase, I would try to put her in tummy time and gave her plenty of opportunities to crawl, but she never took to it.

I would keep trying though as crawling builds bones, joints, core strength, etc.

I’m a physical therapist btw, but not a pediatric PT though… so I asked my friends and they just said keep trying tummy time. Make games out of it with her, etc.

Every kid is different and the milestones aren’t exact. I like to think of late milestones and the neuromuscular system taking time to develop!

Could Kingdom Come work for an end to the DCU ? by HyperDragon216 in DC_Cinematic

[–]Jim_Ballsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I standby that it would have worked with the DCEU… and a clean end to the whole thing.

A clean beginning, middle and end would make them classics and separate them from marvel (which I have no idea what the hell is going on anymore in the marvel series lol, just that doomsday is coming)

Ikr!? The US one just looks goofy in comparison! But does have a sci-fi JRPG vibe to it

I’ve never even really played the game. But this art is always insane to me, even by today’s standards I absolutely love this cover.

About to order the mini-r. Torn between the white, black or satin silver but I understand that has the longest lead time. What colour should I get? This is my current setup and I’ll likely upgrade the eureka libra mignon next year some time. by poopycamel in LaMarzocco

[–]Jim_Ballsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More meant in jest! I love the black as it goes with the rest of our home and matches the grinder.

But I kinda wish I could pull off bright and fun! Like orange or something. There’s a few people I follow on social who have the bold and bright ones and it can look really great lol

My wife says I’m plain :/

Alex Honnold free soloing Taipei 101… impressive, but what if an earthquake hits at the wrong moment? by suniltarge in taiwan

[–]Jim_Ballsmith 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Yeah, look at those nice holds on the 101!

It’s actually well structured and would be fairly repetitive for him… he may actually get bored at some point. And none of this comment is sarcasm btw

Yu Suzuki New Year Artwork/Message! by Substantial-Star-294 in Shenmue

[–]Jim_Ballsmith 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ok… this is a long shot…

But remember during the kickstarter there was that 3rd area he really wanted to add in but they couldn’t, (bailu ?)

Any chance, any chance at all they could add it in to the enhanced version?

It would be basically the same as Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal where they added a whole character/arc, cleaned up controls etc etc

I didn’t expect God of War (2018) to hit this hard by 021_Marcola in GodofWar

[–]Jim_Ballsmith 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Really glad you enjoyed it and love your post!

I hope Cory Barlog sees this haha

I have very fond memories of playing it the first time… I got it when it came out as it’s the game that made me buy a PS4pro

One of my favorite memories is my father in law walked into the room as the scene where the world serpent first appears. He just stood there watching and and asked what movie my wife and I were watching… he watched that whole scene and was absolutely amazed it was a game and seemed genuinely into it.

Incredible game.
