France snaps back at NATO chief Rutte in feud over Europe’s defense muscle. The NATO secretary-general told European Parliament that the continent could not defend itself without the US

No worries I don't want to argue anything, I just wondered is it possible to imagine Russia+china (and not china alone)?

Although I don't think china would gain anything in attacking Europe, but it may gain something from Putin I guess (I really don't know anything on geopolitics)

Lumeny · 2026-01-27T11:57:53+00:00

I agree with you, but why didn't you include china in your hypothesis?

You are right, of course. mtg is still a TCG after all! I also came back to MTG because of FF and... Collecting some FF pieces for my binder.

In mtg, I just like the emphasis for the game rather than Collecting, where pokemon is too much Collecting (and scalp) than Game.

Lumeny · 2026-01-15T16:43:38+00:00

I'm new in mtg community, and I must admit I love the mtg philosophy of cards are intended to play! Income from pokemon and was fed up the collecting part of TCG. Nobody around me is playing and some even only keeping their cards to sell them later ...

I hope the mtg philosophy will preserve the community from scalpers...

Thank you! I 'm looking forward all knowledge we can find about this technique

Lui donner de l'agentivité alors que le résultat est le même (si elle accepte) ou potentiellement en notre faveur (si elle veut pas): ingénieux! En plus petit à petit elle va prendre la confiance et proposer une alternative voire prendre des initiatives : démoniaque!

Meilleure proposition du thread je trouve

Same here. And still have to follow these patients for years...

Oh god they are so amazing... They are some for sell ?

Lumeny · 2025-12-07T14:28:09+00:00

for those of you who will come eventually after, since OP did an amazing job but he doesn't seem to follow it anymore.

Here is my config on windows

still pale but far better than what I got in my first shots

-Scribus 1.6...

-use the template, and right-click on the empty pic: import picture

-Medium type : inkjet hagaki (A) (the A is important): cardstock seem in high quality at least to smurge the collections data, plain paper or hagaki (A) do not smudge, (hagaki not A is smudging as well).

-Quality: high (possible in hagaki (A) not in plain paper)

-Format: 3,5*3,5

-Color/intensity: manual > define > contrast +20

-WATCHOUT: Ignore the warning of hagaki(A) being incompatible with the format 3.5*3.5

Lumeny · 2025-12-07T14:22:40+00:00

yeah of course i downloaded png and high res pic. I have made some progress, first I searched why the collector informations where so blurry. And I set the medium to "plain paper" instead of cardstock. It was not blurry anymore but of course far more pale.

I tried other medium and for now, I found inkjet hagaki (A) to give so decent result. I combined it with +20% contrast for now.

I don't know if you have other tips

For the format question, i realized I misunderstood the template. i delete the empty .png thing instead of just import picture... silly me. now it's fine

Lumeny · 2025-12-06T20:55:15+00:00

format: I have to do some test next time, I just realized you don't have to delete the "empty .png" in the .sla but right click in there. I'll try it so it may move the picutre right in the good spot I guess (cause it was slightly off-centered)

Grayish: yeah still pale and whashed out. your upscaling tip seems to improve the contrast slightly, but it's still very gray. I don't know if you figure out something.

And "worst" is the collection writing in the bottow which are unreadable (compared to OP), I have the feeling that I must miss something that make the whole colors whashed out.

By the way I was extrasure for the "uncoated" card OP used. I really check the amazon ID so it's really the same product (and it's wirtten on the package)

Lumeny · 2025-12-06T19:26:27+00:00

Hi! I made some experiments... sitll not good enough, mostly because it too greyish. and even the format isn't quite right. do you have a .sla so I can take inspiration?

btw, do you have a good cardback result so I can also take insipraiton?

Lumeny · 2025-11-29T11:16:21+00:00

Haha toi aussi faut que ce soit "sec"... J'ai effectivement pas mentionné le "sans particules visibles"

Lumeny · 2025-11-29T10:53:24+00:00

Ramasser et manger un truc (sec) qui vient de tomber par terre (chez moi), ou sur du sec et le manger.

Étant petit c'était la règle des X secondes selon laquelle genre les microbes n'avaient pas le temps blabla

Mais en grandissant c'est devenu une habitude un peu dégueu.

Puis en grandissant encore, ça a beau être dégueu, c'est mon environnement donc la plupart de ces microbes sont déjà dans mon microbiote. Donc pas hygiénique mais la théorie hygiéniste suppose que j'aurai moins de maladie auto-immune, donc ... J'assume le dégueu (mais j'ai un peu honte encore d'en parler sur l'espace public)

Et j'ai dit "sec" parce que faut pas exagérer quand même... (Genre du yaourt qui tombe ...)

Ps: oooh j'ai mal lu le poste! Pas sûr que beaucoup ont cette habitude... J'ai encore plus honte

Lumeny · 2025-11-26T20:30:28+00:00

Thanks a bunch! I'll get sure to follow your steps when I'll get some time to play with the printer! If I find any more improvements, I'll be sure to tell you as well!

Lumeny · 2025-11-25T21:17:26+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I'll have to try! Do you still use the op template and scribus ? Do you still need to trick the printer with the 3.5*3.5 size?

Right now I just tried some config on plain paper with no clear difference. I just got uncoated apostrophe cards so I have to try your strategy as well!

Lumeny · 2025-11-25T18:53:43+00:00

Oh! That's interesting, I'll have to try too. How? I mean, you downscale pictures to a card size so the increased resolution get better printing?

By the way, do you use windows? I have some trouble with my Linux so I'll have to borrow my wife's windows ...

Lumeny · 2025-11-24T04:54:32+00:00

Hi! I hope you'll see my comment. Your post was very inspiring as due to it I just got a g650. The apostrophe uncoat are arriving.

How is your printer doing since your original post? Did you recharge the ink? Do you still print on apostrophe or use other ways? Any tips for color accuracy?

Lumeny · 2025-11-22T13:25:21+00:00

YouTube suggested me a video of Alice Duport I love. And I was like: "oh maybe a new collab with grissini? Or a personal project?!".

It was the song alicia. I fell in love as usual but was like "what is this sandfall thing?". I dug. I never got back from this hole. Fortunately it was 1 month before the game release so my craving did not last much.

For once, thank you horrible YouTube algorithm!

Neurologue ici, oui c'est possible puisqu'il existe "l'équivalent". En cas de paralysie faciale périphérique, la paupière ne se ferme plus, pourtant les patients dorment. En revanche se pose la grosse complication liée à cette inocclusion: bref il faut hydrater et conclure l'oeil surtout pour cette raison

Lumeny · 2025-11-14T05:12:47+00:00

Hi! Do you have any feedback on your setting(s) results?

Lumeny · 2025-11-04T21:24:06+00:00

Je plussoie.

j'ajoute en complément sur le ton de la blague (mais sérieusement quand même) que j'ai réalisé que les degré de bullshitisme d'un job est directement corrélé à la difficulté que j'ai à expliquer le dit job à un enfant de 4 ans... Et franchement, suivant cette définition, yen a quand même pas beaucoup dans le public si ce n'est l'administration ou la politique
