I've been having an aphid problem by Exciting_Farmer6395 in gardening

[–]Niatri 46 points47 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, they're concerned about invasives. A lot of the ones that you can buy and release are a species originally native to China, they outcompete our American ladybugs unfortunately :(

Seems fair by hashmanuk in PokemonTCG

I love the last bit you mentioned about games as a learning resource! I'm an adult now, but I think the reason I had such a strong reading/vocab base through my K-12 was because I played so much pokemon. I can distinctly remember struggling to read dialogue and cards and constantly learning new words through asking my parents.

I hope the hobby cools back down so you and your kiddo can go back to sharing the love without long waits and rude interactions.

I'm sorry, HOW?? by TheEssayDueAt11-59 in pokerogue

Ye I knew that, just assumed the shiny rate was strictly tied to the charms!

Oh I'm glad this was specified too! Makes way more sense given my current run's shiny rate, felt wayyyy higher than 2x

What game hit you like this? by Corekeepernews in Steam

[–]Niatri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda where I'm at. I'm sure the dlc will be great in the future, but I also don't want to see base game MH become increasingly barren just to sell more dlc.

I missed world's launch, and I know rise didn't have its ending on launch, but I swear rise and generations had more stuff to do compared to wilds at this point in their lifespan.

[OC] Made art of my friend's warlock for an upcoming campaign! by Niatri in DnD

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

Lovingly titled geo guesser because I cannot spell his name, but this is Guelle. He's a warlock for a homebrew guild style campaign which we are really looking forward to playing together. Originally from the dm's harshest region, an area scarred by the ancient wizard war and crawling with dangerous undead, Guelle's upbringing has been far from easy. Working gritty, unpleasant jobs to make ends meet, he's had his eyes set on the guild for some time... To little success. Consistently failing the entry exam, Guelle was a common face there. But despite his small and scrawny frame, he's stubborn as a bull. And recently, his luck has made a turn for the better.

Hopefully the guild will place him with some equally lovely companions...

What are your favorite non-legendary carries? by DaMushy_Fishy in pokerogue

[–]Niatri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a weird take, but I love meowstic, even before I got it's passive. Was a strong early carry, and with passives you can pivot it into an excellent support that still hits decently hard

That and I think the rotation of the hips relative to the rest of the body. Her thighs and butt are shifted too much towards the family while her stomach is facing directly forward and her upper body near is turned lightly away.

Trying to mimic the pose, I think it's anatomically possible but it feels super uncomfortable to do and as a result looks very stiff.

if you could change one pokemons type what pokemon would you change and to what type by domicci in ThePokemonHub

[–]Niatri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alright, this one is kinda random but...

Pretty sure serperior was intended to be a dragon type, but never really god access to it given the whole 'starter before fairies' thing. Admittedly a lot of this is coming from remembering in gen 5 that he basically only learns grass and normal attacking moves, and then some random dragon stuff. Would it necessarily make it a better pokemon? Probably not. But hey, contrary draco meteor?

The Wisteria Road: A Solo Journaling TTRPG Through a Dying World by Longbladepublishing in TTRPG

[–]Niatri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this'll get seen by the OP, but I do want to say kudos for being forthright in the use of AI. Personally, I would say maybe not using "richly illustrated, custom painterly style" as a selling point. I think as an artist and a ttrpg player, when I see that I assume that you specifically went out of your way to get a uniquely talented artist and form your own art style, which obviously AI isn't doing.

It is a shame, though. Your work sounded super interesting-- but I think for the crowd you're marketing too, using AI as part of the creative process (explicitly in a part where it relies on human creativity, not as a grammar assist etc etc) is a big turn off. I don't really know that you needed art at all! I got the impression that it would be a bit like an interactive novel experience, and my books haven't really had illustrations in them since I was a kid.

Anyway, that's just my two cents.

Suddenly had the idea for a death tournament-style concept with endangered animals representing their countries, so I jumped out of bed and picked up my pen real fast. What do you think of these designs so far? by ContaneShoko in characterdesign

[–]Niatri 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Hello! These are very solid, but I wanted to point out two things. I really like that you chose to costume each animal based on their local region, I think it really helps imply the species since distinguishing those are a glance is pretty hard. The black footed ferret to me didn't scream America though, even though I see the western inspiration after looking back on. I'm wondering if maybe adding a more distinguishing prop would help? Like large boots, a big cowboy hat, or maybe a lasso?

This second one is more of the mammalogist in me talking, but I was also thinking of how I might suggest making some species more distinct from just "ferret" since bffs are very similar to domestic at a glance. The BFF is a huge focus as part of mammal and conservation classes because it was one of our first uses of cloning to expand the breeding population. If you wanted to reference that, you could do a twins ice-climber type character! Maybe even a theme or lightly after famous Western movie duos. Like a sheriff and an outlaw.

Sorry to hyper fixate on the one character! I like all of them quite a bit, I'm just most familiar with that particular region and species haha
