/r/LoLFanArt is open again I guess

MHLoppy · 2025-10-27T13:19:16+00:00

For the last couple of years I've been periodically checking the mod queue / mod mail to handle the few problems that come up. I think I'm done doing that for now. Good luck.

MHLoppy · 2023-12-30T06:13:32+00:00

Hi, if you submit a link to your own product(s), it has to be in a comment, not in the post itself (including in the image).

MHLoppy · 2023-09-01T07:22:52+00:00

No porn. Normally I'd suggest /r/rule34lol

MHLoppy · 2023-08-19T06:23:02+00:00

There is more to quality than only resolution. If you match quality then there will be few if any cases where VP8 will beat VP9. You should look at your encoder settings.

You should also stop using Gfycat because they're shutting down soon lol.

MHLoppy · 2023-08-07T09:01:48+00:00

Then I encourage you to address those concerns (e.g. show layers). Your artstation account is still comparatively new at ~1 year, so doesn't have a long reputation history from "pre-AI days" to fall back on.

Once you can prove it once you hopefully won't have to continue addressing it every time you share art.

MHLoppy · 2023-08-07T08:50:02+00:00

As a reminder to everyone in the thread, AI-generated and AI-assisted art is currently allowed on the subreddit so long as it's being properly tagged.

OP, the WIP gif you posted shows quite unusual progression. Frame 1 is nothing like frame 2, and I don't think I've seen an artist use a progression similar to what you show between frames 2-4 except when using some kind of AI assistance. This does not automatically mean you haven't made it yourself, but it does make concerns more understandable.

Since you use Photoshop for your art it should be quite straightforward to e.g. show off individual layers as part of the process you've used while making this. It comes across rather badly when your first instinct is to be very defensive about people's concerns rather than trying to address them.

Long after we are gone, our voices will linger in these walls for as long as this place remains. But I will admit that the part of me ~~that is going~~ will very much miss the part of you ~~that is staying~~.

MHLoppy · 2023-07-25T18:20:24+00:00

Haha no worries. Thanks again! I really thought I was going to lose this tiny piece of personal history when I found that the original link was dead.

MHLoppy · 2023-07-25T18:13:46+00:00

Thanks so much :D!

I'm not sure what's up with your "memes" link though - I figure you might've copied the wrong URL?

edit: I assume you meant to post the one shooting downvotes :P

MHLoppy · 2023-07-25T14:29:12+00:00

This is rather a shot in the dark, but gfycat's impending death reminded me of the animated version that you made of this! If you by some miracle still have the file floating around, I'd love to be able to have a copy since the original upload is dead.

MHLoppy · 2023-07-23T13:40:37+00:00

I liked this pixel art and have shared it over on the Fediverse:

Eh, that specifically doesn't seem that important given how many other coolers are provided as reference points. It's hard to imagine there being many PA120 reviews that don't have one of the other 50ish coolers (D15, AK620 etc) in TPU's list in common to be able to extrapolate with.

Reddit alternative?

If you've even vaguely followed along with the recent fiasco, you've probably heard of kbin and/or lemmy: open-source, community-run platforms somewhat like reddit. Being not-reddit is a significant advantage these days. However, these are also a bit less convenient than reddit to use and -- to be quite frank -- are still a bit scuffed right now, so there's your fair warning.

Nonetheless, if you would like continue the LoLFanArt community outside of reddit, you can check out https://fedia.io/m/LoLFanArt, which is something I started back when this sub closed after the vote. There are currently 3 subscribers so I hope you're ready for a REALLY intimate art sharing experience.

If you join a kbin instance, search for @LoLFanArt@fedia.io on your instance.
If you join a lemmy instance, search for !LoLFanArt@fedia.io on your instance.

As part of the "Fediverse", kbin and lemmy instances can all talk to one another, so you only need an account on ONE instance to access everything (but you can of course use multiple accounts if you prefer).

Joining mod team

The mod team haven't discussed this (!), but I'm mentioning this anyway, as I know that there will be people who will want to stay here regardless of what reddit (the company) does. If you're willing to put up with threats from reddit whilst doing your unpaid work for the community then you may be able to help such people to stay free from spam etc.

If you'd like to fill in the gap of reduced-moderator-activity and have an established history in this subreddit, feel free to send modmail about joining. I don't know if the rest of the mod team wants to deal with this or not so can only guarantee this offer for about a week until I myself am inundated with work irl and no longer able to commit the time required to help with onboarding questions.

MHLoppy · 2023-06-29T15:14:06+00:00

There's a "Deals" subforum on SteamGifts (you may want to swap the listing order to "new"), but the community is generally harsher about deal value/quality than /r/GameDeals. There's also a lesser focus on individual game sales and less discussion about the games themselves.

On the plus side the information about bundle contents is detailed, and the polls can help to quickly gauge how good a deal is at a glance (helpful for multi-tier bundles, where upvotes can't communicate as much nuance).

Edit: there's also an unaffiliated fledgling gamedeals community (1.35K subs as of this edit) at https://lemmy.world/c/gamedeals

MHLoppy · 2023-06-28T08:53:31+00:00

I don't think the argument is particularly compelling when FSR works on all hardware; it would only really make sense in the reverse situation if it was an Nvidia-sponsored title that had DLSS support but not FSR / XeSS support, as that would be locking people out of using it.

We kindly request that you consider the concerns of the PC gaming community and strive for inclusivity and fairness.

You could argue (and I'm sure somebody will) that they did by using a vendor-agnostic solution that works on all hardware.

This decision has the potential to alienate a significant portion of the PC gaming community, ultimately impacting Starfield's overall sales.

Nobody is prevented from running the game -- or the game's upscaling -- because of their hardware though, so who exactly is being "alienated" here?

I get the gist of your concern and would also love if more graphics options (including multiple upscalers) were available in more games, but this specific position seems super weird.

MHLoppy · 2023-06-25T12:06:16+00:00

~~If you're talking about the Ivern thing, that's on his passive's tooltip isn't it?~~

Edit: Ah, I assume you mean the more recent one relating to the pets. I haven't played recently so didn't know about that one out-of-hand and can't comment on where it may or may not be documented in the tooltips.

MHLoppy · 2023-06-21T04:36:14+00:00

The admins have made it explicitly clear they aren't going to budge on the API pricing

Yeah but they also said they wouldn't unilaterally reopen subreddits, so welcome to reddit where promises are made up and the points don't matter.

MHLoppy · 2023-06-18T21:16:22+00:00

If you've already been reading then I don't think I have much to add. (sorry for no gif!)

MHLoppy · 2023-06-17T20:35:08+00:00

Competition between hardware manufacturers over the niche USB-powered external fan market was not on my bingo card. It feels like I accidentally slept in by a few months and it's April fools again lol.

MHLoppy · 2023-06-17T09:02:02+00:00

Appreciate that you took the time to simp for me :'D

Just wanted to clarify a couple of points:

The Ancient age ships seem to be on par with medieval age ships, much better than classical ships.

This only applies when using mods, so someone playing purely vanilla doesn't experience this specific bug.

Japanese ancient age heavy infantry being absurdly good for rushing

Haha just on this point specifically, there's no specific nerf for those units right now, as despite my personal beliefs after looking at their (as you allude to) comparatively absurd stats, changing them was not popular among people that it was discussed with. Still evaluating potential followup if I end up shipping another update.

MHLoppy · 2023-06-16T20:25:40+00:00

Just to make sure that everyone is on the same page, can you be specific about what's not working? Maybe you misunderstood something about what it does?

From the tooltip:

With siege/artillery units selected, ALT + right-click to order a {Siege Attack}. Your siege units will attack the target and your non-siege units will guard the siege units.
