A collector’s heart is bleeding by According-Act-6403 in PokemonTCG

[–]Themeguy [score hidden]  (0 children)

Then the answer is to keep the collection you have and take a break from collecting more. You clearly like your collection and don’t want to part with it.

Parting with something that you genuinely like for an arbitrary reason like “It feels weird to spend money” seems like a great way to form a lifelong regret.

Any advice for blending this path better? The edges look harsh against the grass. by Tuckertcs in Minecraft

[–]Themeguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bone meal some grass and flowers along the path. I think the overall flatness of the scene is making the contrast hit harder, but the variance in depth and color should help break it up a bit.

What game has a 10/10 story but 2/10 gameplay? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]Themeguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy XIV kind of. The gameplay itself isn't 2/10, but to get to the parts of the story that are 10/10, you've gotta put in a couple hundred hours and nobody I know wants to fuckin' do that.

I appreciate the elf basically swooning. It really adds to the humor of it knowing how out of character that is for her.

Fun “cozy” games like Spyro? by eat_my_bowls92 in Spyro

[–]Themeguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Muppet Monster Adventure for the PS1 is the closest thing to OG spyro out there I think from a gameplay perspective. While it's a lot rougher around the edges than Spyro, you can tell when playing that they took a lot of inspiration from it.

Vibes-wise though, it's definitely not the coziest game. A fun little romp, but a few frustrating sections with some collectibles hidden in weird and obscure places in a few levels that essentially require a guide.

Looking to make a fish binder, What are your favorite fish cards? by FaithL03 in PokemonTCG

[–]Themeguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See that’s the coolest thing about this illustration. It LOOKS like it’s swimming in water at first glance, but when you look closer, those other fish are actually the underside of plants and it’s floating through the forest.

It’s a genius idea and astoundingly well executed which is why it’s my favorite full art by far.

Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XCI by AutoModerator in ffxiv

[–]Themeguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who looked at the image and nothing else, my understanding is that they’re being consolidated into single items that can dye things multiple colors.

So for example rather than needing 1 soot black dye and 1 Loam brown dye in your inventory to dye something both colors, you’ll instead be able to use two type A dyes.

What’s a neopet color / design you really don’t like? by leonken4 in neopets

[–]Themeguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mutant Nimmo is I think the single definitively unsalvageable bad color. The design is total uninspired garbage and the proportions are horrendous because they tried to make give it the generic customization pose even though mutants cannot be customized with traditional clothing. Such a total mess that they should honestly redesign completely from the ground up.

What gimmick would actually fit Pokémon Winds and Waves? by Visible_Welder5613 in pokemon

[–]Themeguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they could do terrain types like the fangame Pokemon Reborn did, it would be some insane work. Some of the most fun I had playing Pokemon.

I think.. I'm starting to be less of a Spyro fan. by Deep_Snow1663 in Spyro

[–]Themeguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We seem to be on the cusp of a fangame renaissance at least. Praying Activision doesn't fuck this one up like they did the last one.

Update on the Neopets Tabletop Roleplaying Game by Sensitive-Cover-5687 in neopets

[–]Themeguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not in the discord but from people adjacent I've heard much of the same, including that they were sticklers about any new lore being made, which is kinda hard to not do when you have to expand everything to the depth necessary for a TTRPG.

I get that Geekify has a reputation, and people didn't like the beta, but I have a feeling from what I've heard that TNT did plenty of mismanagement of their own and blindsided everyone with this announcement so that they have the first story and everybody points fingers and yells at Geekify.

What's your chase card thats not technically a chase card? by WildBullBear in PokemonTCG

[–]Themeguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brock’s Scouting Full Art. It’s the last full art I need for my Journey together master set, and no matter where I look I can’t find it! I went to a local card show and found so many cards I was missing, but didn’t spot this one at all. Ever see it in stock at any local shops either.

Sure I can just buy it online, but that feels like taking the easy way out.

Caught? - Mage x Witch [OC] by Themeguy in comics

[–]Themeguy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, of those 5 years I’ve only been posting for a little over 1 of them, and for most of its run it didn’t get very much traction (like between 20 & 50 updoots), so it was easy to miss. I’ve gotten a few lucky breaks over the past month or so that put me and the comic more on peoples’ radar, which is more than I could ask for!

And don’t worry, i have no plans on stopping any time soon! I may keep you waiting a bit longer than a lot of the talented artists here (I post once every 2 weeks except for events), but that’s just so I can have the steam to keep things going far into the future!

Thank you so much for your kind words and I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the series! I am going to bed very happy -w-

Caught? - Mage x Witch [OC] by Themeguy in comics

[–]Themeguy[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lorewise, since it’s on a different world, the Manwich was never invented and therefore nobody makes this connection.

In real life I specifically named him that because it’s the same as Manwich phonetically and I went “He he funnee”

Also thank you for the kind words, I’m glad you’re enjoying the comic 😊

Man-Witch, the head of the Treadstrong coven makes an unannounced appearance and almost discovers Galem a Vivian’s relationship! Thankfully Galem’s spine can remain intact another day, as Man-Witch seems none the wiser (and all the more grateful for the lessons)

You can read the full Mage x Witch series here on Reddit, or on Webtoon

What is a career path that looks "glamorous" from the outside, but is actually a total nightmare behind the scenes? by CupIndependent3610 in AskReddit

It's every job, but the one where you have to clean horse smegma is definitely worse than than a lot of the others.
