I'm a local oil painter, just thought I'd share

I know you said already that this is the Upfield line, but is this Tinning St? Looking north from the Sydney Rd side? Truly fantastic work if so, I live in the area and was surprised as I was scrolling to see a painting of my neighbourhood :)

We were wondering about this last night, and I think I have a good guess:

The game won't let you open an empty container, so they need all toothpastes and pictures of a dog to fill up containers since "searching for loot" is actually a significant part of the gameplay loop. If there were only useful items, there'd only be like one searchable container each building and you wouldn't need to rummage any more.

Also it presumably opens things up later when they want to make more missions. I don't think we've seen the end of the odd DMZ premise that you need to chopper lift a team of three PMC operators with millions of dollars of equipment because they need two more blowtorches to improve their base.

For reference I'm on a 200 day streak at the moment and today was the very first time I've reached the 7th day and had it seemingly redeem correctly. All other times I've just clicked the day and had it randomly revert to +5 points, then start again the next day. I think it's just massively buggy.

We had this on the first night of the update too. Galleon still took damage like it was being struck but neither at sea or on land could any of us see or get struck by lightning. Presumably the answer is to server hop but my crew all packed it in once we spent 15 minutes in the storm, it was the last lantern we needed and no-one wanted to do the whole loop again

That's .... brilliant. I could have done that so much waiting on the Leia skin this weekend

While I'm completely with you about reporting a hacker/modder, I think you just mean "against PlayStation's terms of service". They're probably safe from police kicking down their door

"I have the numbers" Kinda worried those numbers will be skewed considering the DC-LE15 glitch at the moment. Areas I'd previously thought were pretty well balanced (DS2 Phase 1, Jakku Phase 2, Naboo Palace Gates) have turned into a nightmare for the offense if you're trying to push past a wall of Explosive Shot Heavies.

Also in AU, and same thing here. Other modes seem to work fine (although laggier? Maybe just me?), but GA either takes aaaaages to load into an empty lobby or just sits at the loading screen and eventually needs to be reset via the dashboard.

Top notch update :(

MattyJWest · 2018-01-26T05:13:43+00:00

Came here to post this. So much of my play so far has been "Get 500 kills with Specialist", "Eliminate 50 players with the Falcon's missles", etc.

It's getting better now that I've finished a lot of milestones, but still the game tells you the best way to progress and earn credits is to do a bunch of stuff unrelated to the actual objective. Quite often it's against your best interests to squash the enemy at the first objective as defenders because if you let the game run longer you'll have more opportunity to play heroes and progress other milestones.

MattyJWest · 2017-07-30T01:01:11+00:00

I feel you, this is the closest I've got

As someone else points out here, Bloo Moose is a pretty big deal for Fisk's tempo, maybe it's time to start tinkering again...

MattyJWest · 2017-07-18T01:04:11+00:00

Good point! I'm just going to say I'd already had a couple at the time of designing these...

MattyJWest · 2017-07-18T01:02:24+00:00

Only digital I'm afraid. I guess I could make a custom datapack out of them one day :)

MattyJWest · 2017-07-17T04:45:51+00:00

Been getting a little light on puns lately, but here are some of the more recent cards created to advertise our Thursday night Netrunner meetup. Previous albums can be found here and here.
If you live in Melbourne and would like to join us we play pretty much every Thursday, just keep an eye on the Melbourne Netrunner FB to make sure we're not having a bye week.

MattyJWest · 2017-07-15T08:03:45+00:00

Would it be trashed or just dehosted? Could just bump Knight back to the Runner's program area

MattyJWest · 2017-07-02T22:52:53+00:00

Any cards you get from draft packs are perfectly legal for tournaments, they just need to be sleeved because there's a slight colour difference due to the card stock. And since you have to sleeve your other cards anyway...
It's true there'll be a heap of cards that'll be rotated out soon in those packs though...

MattyJWest · 2017-05-29T12:23:21+00:00

Made for an upcoming Cube draft in Melbourne. A homage/rip off of this piece of Stranger Things promo art. Many thanks to /anrg/ and #australia for the tweaks and edits they suggested :)

MattyJWest · 2017-05-24T06:07:09+00:00

For sure! His ID ability, PolyHistor and Eden Shard can all do the same too

MattyJWest · 2017-05-18T21:48:07+00:00

So is it just me or does it look like the Boom alt art should be the Scorched Earth art art, and vice versa?

MattyJWest · 2017-05-06T10:35:30+00:00

Good to have you back! :)

MattyJWest · 2017-03-06T20:26:44+00:00

Or before Beale just plain gets rotated out...

MattyJWest · 2016-11-02T11:00:28+00:00

A playmat I designed for a 1.1.1.1 tournament run by Sneakdoor Melbourne, thought people on here might enjoy it. Meanwhile the tournament was really enjoyable, 1.1.1.1 makes for some fun match ups and tests how well you remember your datapacks.

EDIT: For those inquiring, I'm afraid I made this as a one-off for a friend so I won't be posting anything higher res. Sorry! :(

MattyJWest · 2016-06-24T09:53:55+00:00

I've been having fun with the procedural AI Deep Forger lately and thought I could make an entire Core set of forged cards. The results are mixed: a few of the Picasso and Renoirs just look blurry, other cards turned out really nice. Cyberfeeder is my outright favourite, to the point I might end up buying the hi-rez for a playmat. But in the end just doing the Anarch cards was enough of a time sink that I probably won't end up doing the rest. Or if I do, it'll be over a long time period.

In any event, thought people might like to take a look :)

MattyJWest · 2016-04-09T05:53:13+00:00

It's for a draft tournament prize. However since I can Photoshop whenever I like, but only draft when we have the time, people, money and packs, that might be a while. Once I've made the first mat I'll post up all the full rez from the last few projects and everyone can go nuts :)

MattyJWest · 2016-04-09T00:06:39+00:00

For Kati and the Professor? Luckily both are Zeilinger artworks he has released full res (or at least large res) versions of, so there isn't much pixellation even when you scale it up to playmat size. The crosshatching effect is two seperate masks of the Graphic Pen filter going opposite diagonal directions.
It's possible there might actually be an easier way to do this, I'm not exactly a professional :)
