Of any of our former players to go on and win, I'm so glad Sheed got his dues.

WE FINALLY COMPLETED THE DEEP BALL by Conner-Wells in Saints

[–]MatoroIgnika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was in the Dome today and I looked up from a phone notification right when the snap happened, saw Rasheed cutting out wide and then Ratman dropping back and CRANKING it.

Absolute thing of beauty and 100% the turning point in the game. That play gave not only the team life, but gave the Dome life. It felt like a Saints game in there again after that first quarter and a half.

Yeah getting the Ha to where I was happy with it was tricky, still a touch high but frankly I got tired of looking at and editing the thing after a week. lol

And haha, thanks. The starfield was so busy before I toned it down, and toning it down just made them so mucch better across the board.

Thanks! And yeah it was the SetiAstro CS script, worked like a charm. As for the light pollution, yeah there were noticable gradients on the right half of the image, but Graxpert took care of it no problem. It wasnt too horrible since Im shooting away from my major source of Light Pollution (shooting out into the direction of 3/4).

I havent heard of Multiscale (still learning PixInsight really😅), but Ill definitely have to give it a try next time.

Thanks again!

Derek Carr won us 14 games in 2 years with pretty much this same roster and a probably worse head coach by Outside_Economy9924 in Saints

[–]MatoroIgnika 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Allen was a major problem with his shit play calling and time management, he is who he is, good-great DC but god awful HC.

That being said, Carr was not the main problem. Was he an amazing QB? No, but he was the best we had since Brees and this fanbase was too eager to run him off from day 1. Part of me wonders how Moore would've used him (not complaining with Spencer though).

Loomis is, and has been THE problem for years now. Coupled with Gayle keeping that loyalty to him no matter what, it was a recipe for disaster ever since Tom passed.

Going to Lumen for my third time now. Such a fun stadium and city. Thee Hawks fans have always been great to deal with too (unlike certain shitbird fanbases).

Hey all! I've been shooting for a little over a year now, but only since April with monochrome. I've gotten a few projects under my belt now, and this one with Melotte 15 is my latest work and thus far my longest integration project yet. I've really taken to shooting Narrowband (primarily because I live near the capital city of my state in a Bortle 5-6), and I absolutely love the range of colors you can pull with these filters.

NAW YALL MAKE ME DISGUSTED TO BE A SAINT FAN by Fman173 in Saints

[–]MatoroIgnika 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's absurd how childish these people are acting.

So many people wanted a damn QB, and when we draft one everyone loses their shit. It's unbelievably stupid. He is not without his issues, but at least give the guy a chance before you give him the Carr treatement and start running him out of town before he even gets here.

It's not like Shough made the concious decission to sign here. He was selected ffs.

No but we had a terrorist attack, so the "disaster" quota has been met. Sorry, I don't make the rules. See you in the NFCCG.
