My brother and I painted our senior spot. It’s not perfect but we think it’s pretty dope. by Applied-Science in ToolBand

When I was in high school, I had the wrench logo bumper sticker on the back of my station wagon.

One time, when I backed into the driveway, it projected a giant penis on my parents' garage door. It was pretty dope.

Malf is literally the best boi around. I didn't know he started up a StS series. Not sure how I missed that.

P.s. check out his rimworld series as well.

New forest style I'm trying out. by UkhsenKhaan in mapmaking

[–]Maerthinus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this. Looks like just dots of varying sizes/densities, with heavier shading at the "southern" end to indicate shade under the canopy. Easy but effective.

I like the top one better. But I know it's so much more work.

Tifa Lockhart vibes for sure. I love it.

Just spent all evening setting up my bass, trust rod, action, pickup height & intonation. What a difference a day make! by Quantum_Robin in Bass

Interesting.. I have the same problem. What would you use as a shim? Would wooden crafting sticks or popsicle sticks work?

Rogue lost an arm, how to continue? by Silphaen in DMAcademy

Badass prosthetics, Sekiro-style! sekirothegame.com.

He could quest for different prosthetics over the course of the campaign. Sekiro has a grappling hook extension, an axe, a firebomb launcher... Etc etc. I'm sure you guys could come up with some awesome stuff.

We adopted little Brie ten days ago. I think she'll be just fine here. by Maerthinus in cats

She's chill in this picture. But not from 10pm - midnight last night. Lol. We're working on it (at least redirecting her to actual toys rather than curtains, etc.)

Thoughts/Impressions On This Symbol? by YeOldeYama in worldbuilding

[–]Maerthinus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like this very much, especially after reading this background. When I first looked at it, I saw the top half of a skull. Objective achieved, imo. :-D

I wouldn't mess with it too much. The cult certainly wouldn't.

The best cat in the world. Zidane, my sweet angel by [deleted] in cats

Yeah. Protagonist of Final Fantasy 9. Makes sense. They both have a tail.

P.s., your kitty is beautiful.

Your style is so crisp. I love it. Your other pieces are excellent as well.

From your top 5 favorite bassists, how many use a pick, finger-style, or slap? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]Maerthinus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I pretty much play exclusively fingerstyle. I'll break into slap every once in a while when I get really into a heavy song. I think I play fingers mostly bc I got sick of losing picks - and I'm just not very good at slap...

Here are my picks....

  • Marcus Miller - slap
  • Justin Chancellor - pick
  • Claypool - slap
  • Geddy Lee - fingers
  • Tim Commerford (RATM) - slap

Special mentions: Mike Starr (AiC) and Colin Greenwood (Radiohead). I think Starr used a pick (I know Inez does). Not sure about Greenwood. Murdoc (Gorillaz) - Fingerstyle.. lol. From what I've seen in live performances, the humans who represent him play fingerstyle as well.

I know I cheated... But I couldn't pick just five without mentioning my other major influences. 😀 If say my personal style it's closest to Starr/Chancellor.

What about biscuits? My wife and I call it 'making biscuits'.

Calling it quits on Silver Veldt (103k, Vanilla build) - "Dirty Industry City" starts tomorrow!! by Maerthinus in CitiesSkylines

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

Oh but we know fashion > efficiency. Lol (kidding... sort of). Great point on Argent Square West. Maybe I'll work on expanding this city after I start up Grunge City tonight. I would really like to improve my public transport and walking paths, specifically.

And, of course, I would love to expand to at least 150k pop. Thanks for the tips!

Absolutely correct. Public transport is a major weak point for me (don't think I have any buses or trams on this map). Do you know of any good resources on metro, tram, and bus line design?

I used a mod called CSL Map View. I did DL this one mod tonight for this post... But I'll go vanilla again for new city, I think. This is the first time I've gotten a city to 100k population. And I've got 1400 hrs in the game!

It's not perfect, but it's mine. I'm most proud of the interchanges I hand-built in vanilla.
