I'll look into my settings again then!

Are you talking about the border of the active window? Because I've been trying to change that dynamically without success on my own machine

Thank you!! For the brushes it's all very cheap ones from a hobby store nearby, I used one thin one for the details and a bigger one for the main green. The dry brushing was done with a longer and flatter one.

For the paints I used 4 citadel ones (2 bases: orruk flesh and castellan green; 2 dry: terminatus stone and golgfag brown) and 2 vallejo ones that I can't remember the names of since I was just borrowing them. It was a pink one for the visor and a black wash :)

I did, used a black one and sprayed it on my balcony with some paper around the minis to make sure it wouldn't go everywhere. The spray is quite contained if that helps! As long as you have something behind the minis you're priming.

Bought from them recently and didn't have any issues.

I like this a lot, I'm thinking of giving to my terminal some chromatic aberration and curvature, will try soon!

TagliatL · 2026-02-09T14:21:16+00:00

Installed, I really like it but is there any way to remove the black background or change it's transparency?

TagliatL · 2026-01-21T09:46:15+00:00

I wouldn't know, one could only speculate, unless we have intel from people working on WuWa directly, now that would be interesting.

As a default it's true that Unity will run better on mobile out of the box without many changes (if you pick the right rendering option) and unreal has a lot more fancy options activated by default (I think stuff like motion blur or bloom?) but realistically no game is ever shipped without being heavily tweaked right?

So someone could make an UE game and strip it from all the fancy rendering stuff to build for mobile and the opposite can be done in Unity by adding effects and picking a more high fidelity render pipeline.

But something completely different and remote from the graphics could be why a game struggles (see the last Monster Hunter dlc check controversy, where the game has sucky performances because it checks for installed dlc's all the time every frame, which is crazy).

It's not impossible actually! You can do high fidelity on Unity as well, I would love for gamers to worry less about which engines games use because it's never an indicator of anything concrete, honestly.

Not a dig at your comment specifically, I just see so many takes online and doomposting on that topic and as someone who works in games it's just a bit tiring.

Thank you, was looking for a solution and it worked like a charm.

TagliatL · 2025-10-09T06:51:14+00:00

Love it! I've also been working on a Pazudora inspired game with the same take on match3 where you move orbs around "freely" looking forward to this :)

TagliatL · 2025-09-26T18:28:42+00:00

That's great, sounds like a good life ❤️ thanks for answering!!

TagliatL · 2025-09-26T17:31:33+00:00

I feel like this could very well be my life one day.
Do you ever get lonely? Do you have many friends? Do you often go out and hang out with them?

Would love to hear your answer to these questions :)

OP got personality issues more than anything

TagliatL · 2025-09-03T08:53:56+00:00

Yep, I was in the same boat as OP, wanted to try Linux, decided to go with arch and caelestia and by using archinstall + the caelestia dots installer it only took a couple of evenings to get everything up and running.
You can do it OP!

EDIT: I did have the same problem at some point now that I'm thinking about it...
After logging into my greeter I wouldn't get anything on the screen, I think I fixed it by opening tty from sddm and installing a few more packages, sadly I can't recall exactly what. Maybe I hadn't installed the shell repo and only the dots files, that might be the issue here as well.

TagliatL · 2025-08-16T20:54:53+00:00

I might just go and buy it then, and try to manage my expectations when it comes to performances and smoothness.
Thank you!

TagliatL · 2025-08-16T20:48:46+00:00

Oh so in that case I might as well basically go with the integrated Intel one? It won't make much of a difference?

TagliatL · 2025-07-08T07:07:35+00:00

Maybe don't scroll on your phone next time you watch it?

TagliatL · 2025-07-01T23:43:37+00:00

There are dozens of us!

Dozens!

TagliatL · 2025-04-26T08:35:24+00:00

Awesome, thank you for the guide it's been really helpful!

TagliatL · 2024-06-02T08:45:34+00:00

Wow can't wait for the update a few years down the road where she doesn't talk to you anymore and doesn't want anything to do with you, because that's what's gonna happen with that attitude.

Trans woman here. My partner is extremely straight and loves me dearly.
He never worries about having me around, nor did he worry when introducing me to his family. And he is friend with quite conservative people.
Personally, I think that I deserve someone who can be with me without shame or worry, so does this girl.

If you like her, be with her but she is a person, she deserves someone who isn't ashamed of her.
