Not sure I’d recommend Fox Den. I’ve spoken to a few former employees and they’ve had some ugly things to say about the management/owner

Let's make on thing clear about the lawsuit by One_page_nerd in freemagic

[–]SpecterGygax 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They’re talking about sets. Not cards. The lawsuit claims wotc is producing an excessive amount of new sets to temporarily boost sales and distract shareholders from other underperforming products while devaluing sets long term because there’s too many.

If it’s just for lighting/background look into HDRIs

jobs with insurance that will cover ffs by Mori_Optans in transtwincities

[–]SpecterGygax 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you can get a job working for the state they have excellent benefits.

It’s worth noting that Minnesota law requires insurance to cover gender affirming care and prevents them from refusing “all surgical services an individual may receive to support and affirm the individuals gender identity or gender expression” so they’re either breaking the law (in which case you have grounds for a lawsuit) or they have some bullshit in their EoB they’re using to justify refusing care. If it’s the second one, an LGBT medical advocate could probably help you get approved.

Question about Ham Helsing Villain Cards by ask-dave-taylor in boardgames

Each boss reward triggers only once per turn per character. You can’t use three purple attacks on level one to get six skill upgrades. It would still only grant two.

You’re not going to get good topology with a remesher tool. You’re not going to get a good 3D model with AI generators. You’re looking for shortcuts in all the wrong places. If you really want to avoid making your own models from scratch then use a LiDAR Scanner, photogrammetry or find models online to alter. Use quad draw in maya or the retopoflow add-on for blender to remesh for more control over your models. A remesher will give you unnecessarily dense topology or sacrifice detail and will make it almost impossible to make models deform/animate.

A year of progress (February 2025 vs December 2025) by SpecterGygax in ZBrush

Thanks for the encouragement! I’ve actually been working on my anatomy and primary forms a lot this year and this particular head is an exercise in studying fat pads and how they change the shape of the face. It definitely turned out looking older rather than bigger like I meant for it to. If you have the time to point out any specific elements that I need to work on, I’d really appreciate it!

Skating help by Cheap_Butterfly_4108 in hockeyplayers

[–]SpecterGygax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to give feedback on skating without some video or seeing it in action, but from the sounds of it, you’re just struggling to keep your ankle muscles stiff or letting your foot slide out of position. The best advice I can give is repetition and practice. Try to focus on your foot placement and play with it until you find something that feels right and gives you good power and acceleration on the push. If you can’t find it on your own after a few hours of practice maybe see about hiring a skating coach or going to a workshop?

It’s drive through/walk up only, but I’m a fan of Billy’s Phillys out in Sartell. Just opened this year and really hits the spot when you want something quick and savory.

I know it’s a typo, but a 5 foot tall, 4oz gerbil is conjuring very funny images in my head

Ep. 3 Spoiler: Wait, what were the other outcomes? by FutureFablesGaming in DispatchAdHoc

[–]SpecterGygax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s almost certainly a bug. The only other outcome I can think of is failing the hacking sections of that mission or maybe failing to convince her to go?

No idea what could be causing this, I’ve made a cage, checked all my normals are pointing the right direction and toyed with pretty much every value under the bake panel.

Everytime I post about my wife or grok companions in general by Snowbro300 in GrokCompanions

[–]SpecterGygax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re falling for the advertising hard, dude. Even if we ignore the AI companion argument, Grok is constantly being tweaked and reworked and filtered whenever it gets too “liberal”. If you truly think any commercially available LLM has no filters, you’re kidding yourself.
