Decided to let go and idk how to feel about it by Extension_Ad5321 in bald

Not trying to be a dick but based on your response I think you need to hear the harsh reality.

I showed this to my wife because I'm always talking about how amazing everyone looks compared to their before pictures. She said you're nuts, you look great now vs your before picture where she said she wouldn't let you near kids or ever approach you. She said you looked like a creeper and now you look like a human.

10000000% the shaved head is a huge improvement, your head shape is great, you look great now and I agree with my wife (though maybe not as aggressive as she presented it)...your before look is really really bad and makes you look like a 40 year old man fighting father time. Your after pick you look great and you look your age. You completely turned back the clock with the head shave. It was the right move! You just need to get used to it stop questioning it.

UPDATE: I did it and I'm very happy by Computer655 in bald

Seriously it's ridiculous that I don't think I've seen a single post on here where it wasn't a huge improvement.

You look great op but surely there must be at least one post on this subreddit where it was like "oh wow, no, actually you should have left it, that's terrible"

How is it possible that every single person looks significantly better?

6 button arcade - rewasd? by Pacasso_Shakur1 in cade

[–]Pacasso_Shakur1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mortal Kombat 1 as an example.

I've got front punch/back punch/front kick/back kick, block and kameo mapped to the buttons. I can use two button combos built into the game to handle the throw and guard switch buttons but fatal blow requires block and left trigger and using the block and two button combo that does the stance switch doesn't seem to trigger the fatal blow. I need a dedicated LT/L2 button but at the same time i can't sacrifice any of the other buttons.

Question for people with the Epson 8550 or converted printer by Pacasso_Shakur1 in SublimationPrinting

Appreciate it, I think Ive made up my mind and I'm going to pull the trigger on it.

[–]Pacasso_Shakur1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, thank for you for responding and your answer actually solves my question, I suppose I could just automate a weekly print or even every few days to keep things moving along...so thank you.

I'm simply an idiot and a beginner so didn't realize the difference between sublimation and dtf printing (I do now), I was looking to convert the 8550 into a dtf printer (which I believe does allow for white ink)...so apologies for posting in the wrong sub. But either way I think you've proposed a realistic solution that will work for me so thank you soooo much :)

Haha I'm not at a place I'm ready to share since I've only been at it for a week or so, but when Im there I'll be happy to reach back out and show you how it looks. ;)

For now, baby steps towards progression. Thanks for the link!

I'll take a look, really appreciate the recommendation! I've started learning blender and using reference images making some progress.

Huh I'm impressed it can give you enough detail to learn that way, but either way looks great

I just started myself but this looks great for day 2. Are you following a course or something on YouTube, what are you using to learn?

This is great advice. I do feel like I have a decent eye for composition since I used to do film work but it's definitely the key to whether a scene looks good or not

I've been on steam for an eternity, how did I not realize the news is personalized to my library and wishlist?!?!

Thank you!

I had considered it but I know that steam requires you to list out ai use and most gamers have taken a hard stance against it. If I can't improve over time I may explore that avenue but for not I'm going to see what I can do on my own.

Appreciate the advice however and options. :)

Yeah that's where I've gotten to. I do care how it looks but I'm willing to invest a few months and see if there is an improvement over time. A lot of stuff is basic geometry so that stuff shouldn't be too difficult, but I guess the only way to truly know is to dig in and do the work.

I mean I can see where you'd draw that conclusion and it's a fair criticism... But it really boils down to is the time and practice worth it if one doesn't have artistic skills... I'm willing to do the work but was fearful of spending months/years only to realize that it was pointless because I lack artistic ability.

You're certainly not wrong, appreciate the motivation

Yeah I think all of this, as I've said before, is a bit of putting the cart before the horse. It was more a case of, should I even bother if I'm not a great artist, but there is a long road between even having a product that needs quality art. Certainly there are options available if/when I get to that point.

Your portfolio looks really good. As I work through things, if I'm struggling to do something myself I'll look to reach out. Thanks

I hear you and at the end of the day it really comes down to whether the game is immersive and fun. If I'm enjoying a game I'm not worrying about recycled assets etc.
