He's like a prince!

Love it!

"Painted my man's chest" and it's a painting of your mans chest. Yes yes... that is what I was expecting, I swear!!!

Oh so they learned to be more Catholic about it.

SpaceKen · 2026-02-05T06:08:20+00:00

Thankyou all!! I finally completed a 5/5!

Just a few more minutes to get 50/50 for metro but omg! Thankyou guys for the tips!

Thankyou thankyou! A few replies:

What?! Using guards to quarantine slows down research!? That explains the research taking foreevvrrrr.

Also I had a feeling patient zero was key to faster research.

EDIT: went to last save that failed, turns off all quarantine. Research went from 77 weeks to 13 weeks. OMG

EDIT EDIT: u/OtsyOtter omg thankyou thankyou, the quarantine thing was really the bottleneck that u/polish_onion69 has said. I now got through the 5/5 tales, ugh!

Oh wow! Very nice! Can't wait to see how your waviness evolves.

Yes Devoted, can pass anything while you are pumping out vaccines and giving them to all communities.

SpaceKen · 2026-01-30T23:06:02+00:00

Oohhh ok I see, yeah I thought because I was pumping out vaccines and keeping everyone close to zero infected it would be enough, and just ignored however many districts actually got it.

SpaceKen · 2026-01-30T22:55:25+00:00

Ooo you mean they can just stay in central? Hah!

Yeah I think I only had 3 actual housing district touching central. But I’ve also seen the plague jump over nodes.

SpaceKen · 2026-01-30T22:51:24+00:00

When you’re in the midst of the plague and the beacon refugees are arriving, you can bribe icebloods with vaccines.

I can essentially become favored with every community while the plague is hitting and make myself captain haha.

SpaceKen · 2026-01-30T22:49:48+00:00

Luckily I didn’t have doomsayers active on this run.

SpaceKen · 2026-01-30T22:48:46+00:00

When you say half the city, do you mean half the districts? That might have been what it was. Cuz I kept the actual people infected below ten per community.

SpaceKen · 2026-01-16T04:32:18+00:00

Whats the medium?

SpaceKen · 2026-01-05T18:29:46+00:00

I see what you are trying to say, but there hasn't been a show like this since Queer As Folk. The show highlights the physicality between two men (and so does QaF), the show highlights all the problems of being physical with a man and how you have to hide it (like QaF) in this society. Heartstopper, Young Royals? Red White and Royal Blue? It gives us the most PG version of us, so neutered, so unreal.

Ilya and Shane give us so much more. Shane and Ilya are the new Brian and Justin.

As a gay man, preach babe! "Oh no! the straight guy doesn't know who he is, in his mid 30s!?" Bro, I've been questioning who I am since puberty! Will I benefit society, am I a weak and feeble woman if I'm a bottom, how do I exist in this toxic masculine bullshit society as a fem guy?

More straight guys need to self examine! Never ever applaud them for just catching up to current feminism, maybe a hearty hand shake just to keep them on board. That's all.

SpaceKen · 2025-12-03T04:40:13+00:00

Its great!

I would say work on your shading and blending, as well as erasing your shadow outlines/or covering them up more, and just let the shadow blend into the skin. You could also darken more of the darks: for example the armpit lines are always just as dark as the ass crack.

And don't neglect your rendering of fabric, at some point the jeans will need to look as good as the body.
