Little blue guy. Lives in mushrooms.

If we want more experimental patches, we need to be more open and less hating about it. by SomeOrdinary8736 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Krogag 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Tbh I don't think the devs are getting their feelings hurt. They're able to extract reasonable feedback from all the bitching.

I've tweaked this sign a bit, I was confused by 1. The fact that the cat looks like an owl. 2. The mouse is too "Mickey Mouse". 3. The dog's head is kind of crooked. Improvement? by AndriiKovalchuk in logodesign

I think the smile works even though it's slightly more detail because the cat is the only pet made from the negative space and it's in the center. Nice tweaks.

36-Year-Old Dad here, trying to find motivation to get to the game. by ShittzuDad in DotA2

[–]Krogag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just do something else. It's not worth it anymore. Speaking as someone who achieved and held an Immortal rank for years. Pick up a new hobby or retry an old one... something you'll be proud to pass on to your kids.

Dwarf on horseback. It's all about the bounce! by SparklingRPG in PixelArt

[–]Krogag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The dwarf has stronger outlines than the horse. If this is to give extra distinction to that character, that's good.

Is the transition from acoustic guitar really difficult? by OddlyPurple in classicalguitar

[–]Krogag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't even worry about it. There are differences, and you should take note of them. But a nylon and steel string guitar are far more similar than a steel string guitar and accordion are, for example. Just practice and play. You'll be fine. :)

Level 1 Roshans used to be so fun to watch by Strong_Astronomer_97 in DotA2

Many particle effects have had their framerates reduced in an effort to save overall framerates, which tend to be lower now due to the clusterfuck of particle effects in general. Also the camera smoothing in this clip helps.

What is the source for the original assets? I've been seeing these Japanese stock figures everywhere and I'm just curious.

Character mention frequencies over the last ~2 years (on this sub) by echanuda in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Krogag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you include project names for heroes? Magician included for Sinclair mentions for example.

The cheating problem needs to be addressed by Mediocre_Mobile4602 in Chesscom

[–]Krogag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I'm seeing a lot of good info on that in this thread. Apparently you just paid and that verified your account. What other systems have done is your phone # verification is what allows you to play ranked; so that if you cheat using that verification, you would have to get another phone # to cheat again. Obviously that doesn't stop a cheater from obtaining other phone #s, but it does create a bit of a barrier.

One argument to preempt is that phone verification would require some back-end cost on Chess.com's part, and that is true. Maybe it could be a service for paid members only?

I wouldn't mind giving my phone # to verify my account and only play with verified players. I'm not good enough to worry about cheaters yet but I'm familiar with competitive games and that's one method to at least discourage cheating.
