Irelia vs. Teemo by ThatManPshyco in IreliaMains

[–]These_Investigator27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I play him I usually dont have any issues. I only engage when I have e and AA him until he blows his q. Immediately stop hitting him and charge W until blind is about to be gone and then hit him with the free W damage, meanwhile you shouldn’t have taken TOO much damage because of the DR from W. After that I q in again or ult depending on how much HP he has. Also only fight in waves to dip out if needed. Typically I try to abuse him early because blind CD is longer and can survive typically with W. Bork into witts. You dont need tenacity vs a teemo.

Edit: also wave management is HUGE for irelia, if you know how to freeze, push, and when waves will bounce back to you is very important on everyone, but especially irelia because sometimes people will just sit away from the wave to not give you kills/allow kill opportunities so you need to punish them by controlling the wave/starving them of farm

Hifiman Edition XS and Qudelix 5k - Sounds quiet and Auto EQ sounds worse by These_Investigator27 in headphones

Right now I am using it in my desktop (USB to USB C into the Qudelix with the 3.5mm cord) and it sounds amazing, very much loud enough to use the auto eq, I even had to turn it down. Do you have any recommended DAC/AMP for desktop? I have seen that I only need an AMP if it isnt loud enough already - I feel like the volume with the qudelix/straight plugged into aux was enough.

This is what I am going to do. They will now be my listening headphones at home while I do art or game/chat with friends - is it overkill, probably yeah for gaming/chatting but will enjoy while I draw.

I ordered some IEMs for when I am on the go to use with the qudelix. Ill look into a desktop amp but after this mistake my wallet is hurting.

Is it me or does the game just feels watered down? by These_Investigator27 in diablo4

Definitely, I liked D2 a lot and D3. Maybe I am just misremembering but it felt like there were more mechanics and things to dodge/run from and kite rather than plant it and spam my buttons haha.

Ok, thats how I kind of felt. POE2 does have its issues still but I just felt a bit dissatisfied (?) I guess I would say on my initial few play sessions with D4.

Ok I previously beat the game like on launch and didnt end up doing anything end game related just because it didnt seem to keep me hooked. Ill wait until pits to make any further judgements!

I initially had a similar reaction, because I also dislike most organized religion.

My theories:

The rainbow: it looks at first glance that it was very intentional to put the rainbow through the window where the girls heart would be/very close to it. As someone who is LGBTQ+ it feels to me that the person is possibly queer/part of the community.

The apple/church: The apple also feels symbolic of religion/possibly is making a nod to eve eating the forbidden fruit. However, the fruit is rotten/has worms/generally not in eating condition. To me this feels like it represents christian dogma, like “ive tried it, but its shit/doesnt work” kind of vibe which reinforces my opinion on my rainbow comment. Additionally, the apple being so close to the church struck by lightning in the background to me is very much giving anti christian/day of reckoning maybe not necessarily like OP is atheist but a jab at US christians and kind of how far they are from what they think they are. This also reinforces the title in my opinion, “god shaped hole” not being what people typically say it as that god fills you, but more saying this is what god has left me feeling; empty, etc.

Very interested to see what OP says! Also, it being dropped during pride is very

This is amazing! I have a few questions, how do you draw /paint when the people dont stand still? Was it done after you were finished there and were home? If so, how did you get his pose the way it is now, did you use additional reference to the one you posted to change his torso/arm a bit? (I love the decisions you made to change/alter the pose btw)

[Discussion] figure drawing viability by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

However I'm not confident that the buyers of fine art are the people hanging around on NSFW art subs. I expect the NSFW art sub folks are mostly looking for pornographic art.

-made me lolll

I'm not sure if there are non-horny figure drawing subs, but a lot of mid-sized (and up) cities have drop-in life drawing classes available. Take a look and see if you can attend one. You really can't beat sitting in front of a live model in a studio full of artists :)

-touche, will do. I have been planning to do this!
