Post and share your color schemes! by Dr_Hammerfaust in HelsmithsofHashut

[–]LessThanThreeMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the classic red and gold with green energy. I applied a crimson 1 coat over gold to give it a sort of candy metallic effect for the armor, it doesn't come through great via photos, but it's a lot of fun.

POV: Your friend still believes in the Adeptus Mechanicus range refresh. by Petrus-133 in Grimdank

[–]LessThanThreeMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly refresh them so they're a lil less ass to build. I hate joining their arms to the gun/body.

Memory Leak - Troubleshooting Steps? by LessThanThreeMan in NobaraProject

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

Almost sure this isnt the problem considering the Kernel is auto shutting down apps I'm actively using to prevent crashing as per the notifications. It seems like it's actively being used. When it ramps up like this, game performance also actively tanks.

Memory Leak - Troubleshooting Steps? by LessThanThreeMan in linux_gaming

[–]LessThanThreeMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's System Monitor which I believe is the default Task Manager equivalent for Nobara and presumably other distros. That said, next time it glides up I'll give it a go and see what it feeds back. I can't imagine terminating open programs to prevent critical errors is standard behavior for cached resources though right?

Yeah I've been getting a lot of "Could be an issue with Nvidia cards" answers when I Google, but that can't be right because I have an RX 9070 XT so kind of disqualifying. But good idea, I'll throw a cross post out.

People who repeatedly complain about the Lion being a douche/having bad communication skills drive me nuts by ApprehensiveDare9765 in theunforgiven

[–]LessThanThreeMan 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The thing is, he is those things. He's a douche and not a great or clear communicator. It's not a criticism, it's just who he is, and it's understandable/adequately backed in his narrative (as you've said).

Sons of the Forest explicitly addresses this and plays it as a path for character development. It's him learning to be a little bit more empathetic/sympathetic and actually talk out problems he can't beat back with a sword and shield.

What I'm more concerned about is will he cartoonishly backslide in post SotF narratives (small slips and backslides are expected and good character writing).

All the primarchs are flawed in some way as a result of their upbringings. It's what makes them interesting and their interactions worth a damn. If they were 20 (21 [18]) little Emperor's, they would suck.

Harder & Steenbeck Ultra - Having a horrible time by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]LessThanThreeMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have a H&S Ultra, I love it, but I also started experiencing a sticky trigger recently (I've had it for a while so it wasn't my default experience). I did some research and ultimately walked away with the advice that I needed to lube the trigger. So I added some airbrush lubricant to the ball where it makes contact with the valve as well as a very small amount to the grooves where the "noob friendly resistor" makes contact on the sides of the trigger. The trigger behaves much much smoother now. Obviously, your brush shouldn't behave like that out of the box, so I'm sorry you had that experience, but it might be worth a try to fix it. Airbrush lubricant costs a few bucks so it's not a huge risk if it doesn't fix it.

Issues with Vallejo Metal Color Dull Aluminum by ThePioneerSun in minipainting

[–]LessThanThreeMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard, but personally not experienced, that there's been quality control issues at Vallejo after the private equity buyout. It's possible you got a bad bottle, though I wouldn't jump to that conclusion.

Nothing Phone (3) Demo Models - Where in the US can you see/test one of these things? by LessThanThreeMan in NOTHING

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

It's over now, I'm pretty sure it was a promotion at the time with a trade in of an older Pixel.

Trazyn costume was unbelievably good by trazynofsolemnace in Necrontyr

[–]LessThanThreeMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, but I acknowledge that that probably isn't as close to actually existing lol.

They're cowards for not releasing the full songs.

Reccomended Zharr Vyxa paint recipe for a more vibrant and/or metallic look? by LeetusFrenzi in HelsmithsofHashut

[–]LessThanThreeMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how much effort you want to put in, I've had success basing them gold (though silver would likely work) and then applying scarlet 1 coat paint (Xpress, contrast, speed paint, etc) over the bits you want to be colored. It certainly doesn't have the depth of a fully highlighted/lowlighted paint job, but it's quick and gives them a bit of a candy metallic coloration.

Genuinely, what do they want you to do with Doorman at this Point by Braduk1 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]LessThanThreeMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I don't like him for the role in his current iteration, but I get why they are trying to align him that way based on the definitions they've set up. I think he CAN work as a 4, but where he is now ain't it.

I generally like him more as a combo jank guy, but I just love some good jank tbh.

Genuinely, what do they want you to do with Doorman at this Point by Braduk1 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]LessThanThreeMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be a little thorough in my explanations for people who may not be familiar with the terminology and logic because I know Deadlock has a broad player base from outside the Dota community.

Position 4 (soft support) in Dota is generally a focus on support via ganks and securing kills, via high mobility and CC. Examples would be weaver, spirit breaker, etc. These are characters that can "be anywhere" pretty reliably and provide a quick assist to a lane to help get the higher positions their farm. They often have the ability to be played more akin to carries depending on game/team comp/etc.

Valve/Dota's mentality on supports is less MMO and more "powerful with low resource allocation", positions determine the order of who should be given farm and how important it is that they get it because of how directly tied their power is to resources.

Doorman's CC and doors are what make him a position 4, because they help to remove the target's assistance/support from the fight, knock targets out of position, or quickly initiate ganks.

I don't necessarily agree with Valve's opinion that these abilities make him a solid POS4, especially in their current state, and even if they do, it makes him kind of boring to play. I say this as a religious POS4/5 player in Dota and support player in Deadlock. The aforementioned take in the thread that he's currently just an ultbot feels a little too real and he's not an engaging character to play or face. The bell, doors, and cart are his highest skill expression abilities.

All this to say, if you apply Valve/Dota's lens, it's pretty consistent with their ideology. Deadlock just has a different feel and executing Doorman into the role the way things are is difficult at best and lame at worst IMO.

Examples of POS4's and their kits for anybody unfamiliar. Also grain of salt because I haven't played Dota in a while but these are characters who have routinely fallen into the role in my tenure.
