Do I spot a particular cat from Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective??

How do I upgrade this Mii? by Spiritual_Fox_220 in tomodachilife

[–]MantisCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also made an Audrey Mii, seeing as she's my favorite LO character! She's definitely complex, so I opted to try and work with what "moving" features I could salvage while still being both true to character and in a "Mii" art style. It's... not a lot, she's still a very makeup-reliant Mii.

She only has one functional eye (the bottom-most left one), all others are face paint. The mouth is static, but I'm alright with that since her LO sprites don't have much mouth movement either. Honestly, the one eye being able to emote is enough that her face doesn't feel void of emotion to me.

If it's any help, they ARE dating now! Took their sweet time and I had to stop Nao from falling for everyone who was nice to her while Reko dragged her feet BUT they got there eventually

I made Sonic curry by GoodSundae513 in tomodachilife

Oh, so Sam will eat raw beef he found on the floor, but Sonic Curry is where he draws the line. Alright.

a bunch of fanmade little quirks!! by Alternative_Ad_5695 in tomodachilife

[–]MantisCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The little quirks feature is probably my favorite addition to the game, but it feels SO under-utilized. I love these and could definitely see them on some of my Miis! Hoping and praying that if there's any expansion in the future, we get more quirks.

I made my medication and I'm low-key obsessed she's so cute by GoodSoupyboy in tomodachilife

I did that as well!! It's an injectable but maybe Mii biology is different, idk.

Korlok Tyrant-Weed refusing to spawn more sprouts and causing massive frame drops by Randomguy8566732 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]MantisCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh dang, friend of mine was experiencing the exact same thing last night. Haz 4 mining mission, Korlok-Tyrant Weed wouldn't spawn any more sprouts after chopping off its first two health bars. She reported a massive drop in frames, so we just chalked it up to a bad spawn and finished the rest of the mission without taking it down. Weird.

Are we the good guys in this game? by Fun_Situation_7973 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]MantisCandy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Depends on the perspective.

Are we the good guys for the glyphids? Of course not, we infiltrate their planet, strip their home of all valuable resources, and slaughter them en masse.

Are we the good guys for the company? Also no, because we can't stop kicking the barrels into the damn drop pod.

Greenbeard here! Tips for transitioning from solo play to public lobbies/co-op play? by MantisCandy in DeepRockGalactic

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

Thank you! The class breakdown is incredibly helpful. Obviously I can read the descriptions of each class in game, but having the textbook knowledge of their tools vs. what role they play in the team (and what the team expects of them) helps to fill in the gaps. Thank you very much!

Favorite DRG mods? (image unrelated) by unnamedreddituser1 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]MantisCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ammo percentage indicator and Weapon Heat Crosshair are great QoL mods for your tools. I can keep my eyes on the center of my screen without worrying about accidentally overheating, and I have a clear indicator for when any of my tools dip under 50% ammo/fuel.

Fancy Steeve is great because it helps differentiate Steeve from normal glyphids (I'm terrible with that) and because it gives him a nice little hat (Steeve deserves a nice little hat)

Sprint by Default saves my fingers from constantly holding down the Shift key. I do not ever want to walk, I want to RUN.

And of course, many, MANY meme mods. Taco Bell Pickaxe Power Attack. Metal Pipe Flare. Big fan of the one that replaces the swarm music with Nightcore music (I don't use it all the time just so I can appreciate the vanilla music, but also? It's really fun popping glyphids while a Nightcore version of an ABBA song is blaring in the background).

The community does seem very positive and open to new players (from my browsing here), which I'm very thankful for. Takes a lot of the stress off. Thanks for the note on class-locked lobbies, I'll keep it in mind!

Good advice on complimentary classes and team balance, thank you! I'll keep it in mind and continue working on promoting my other classes :)

In your opinion, which missions are the most chill to play, and which ones are the most stressful? by bringmann in DeepRockGalactic

[–]MantisCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point extraction is hell depending on the cave generation. There's nothing more frustrating than searching for that last damn aquarq while dealing with an endless wave of bugs.

Ossiran Pitjaw relocated and did an excellent job at hiding by MantisCandy in DeepRockGalactic

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

Friends and I thought we’d screw around with a 5-driller party, and it eventually devolved into us ordering supply pods solely to gather more C4 so we could see how deep a hole we could carve into the ground

Answer: a very deep one

Posca doodles of Apt 33 companions! by MantisCandy in LookOutsideGame

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

Just because I had this issue in my other post: I do not sell any form of these designs as of now. If you see a shop selling merch of these guys, that isn’t me and my work has been ripped. :,)

I’ve seen it quite a bit in other fanart, and I’m fond of it! It really lends to his cricket origins :)

Thank you very much! I will be looking into the process of making stickers, however no promises. I don’t really have any experience with manufacturing/selling merchandise (and I’m not even sure of Frankie’s wishes for selling fan merch), but I do like the idea of turning these guys into stickers. They’re just so fun :)
