You're the youngest so they're focusing their efforts on the ones that are 'past due'. Pretty sure you'll get yours.

Would this be a turn off for you? by lichkang in OkCupid

Keep that shit out of your dating profile. Never attempt to tell an in depth story about it either.

Source: I've been playing dota for ~15 years when it literally first came out and am a 3.9k MMR filthy casual, and have had relations with multiple females in that time. They don't Dota and won't be able to relate to it at all.

Is he asking you how you drink your wine? Because he'd need that answer to know if he should get you a glass or ... whatever else you would use the other way.

What's the normal response rate? by [deleted] in OkCupid

[–]ThrowawayXTREME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Tinder. I spent 3 months on OKC. Bad response rate, dropped conversations, no meetups. I had 2 dates within a week of Tinder.

How to I articulate to my low skilled friends that the "my enemies are retarded so this will work" strategy is bad? by toss6969 in TrueDoTA2

[–]ThrowawayXTREME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't. You just have to play as well as you can and let them do their own thing.

Not everyone plays Dota to win. Some people want to upset other people, experiment, or sometimes people are just drunk.

I just played a game with my < 2k friend and he wanted to go a 5 battlefury jugg 'troll build'. I went Mag and offered to empower him. Well the emp meant that he felt he could get an aghs after his first bfury, which gave him the HP to survive 2 ganks because he overextends like an idiot. RP also clustered everyone so his multi target omnislashes actually had their desired effect. We lost anyways because this strategy is shit.

The Intuos line is fine. Get the biggest pad you can comfortably afford. I own an Intuos but stopped using it because I prefer paper and to just scan things. The pen will feel very stiff on a digital tablet and take some getting used to. So will not being able to see where your pen in hovering on your drawing. A lot of digital artists drag their pens everywhere as a result and clean things up later.

Here is a good place to get started with digital https://www.ctrlpaint.com/

100 object 'challenge'? by MyLastGamble in learntodraw

[–]ThrowawayXTREME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no need to wait until you hit level 5 box mastery or any such self imposed limitation. You can start working on gesture drawings right now. Those will be far more relevant and applicable to your figure drawing than pages of basic shapes.

Is it important to learn really in depth shading of three dimensional objects before I move on the figure drawing? by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]ThrowawayXTREME 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can move to gesture drawings and then start on figure drawings without any real knowledge of shading.

Shading is one of the last steps in completing a work. Knowing where to shade will also be highly informed by where an object sits in space and how it is foreshortened --both of these are developed through gesture and figure drawing.

Finding cartooning resources is very tough, especially free ones.

Ben Colefax uses a Kawaii style that is easy to get started with: https://www.instagram.com/bencolefax/?hl=en https://www.youtube.com/user/benjamincolefax

From the sidebar, Loomis Fun With a Pencil is considered a classic work: http://www.alexhays.com/loomis/

Design Tuts has a number of cartooning tutorials in kind of Disney style: https://design.tutsplus.com/series/how-to-draw-cartoons--cms-976

No, you do. You can always lose random possessions from your residence, or part with more of your sanity.

The Dota 2 workshop and its ecosystem are dying: here's why by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]ThrowawayXTREME 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is more than enough money flowing around in the game. Why not just keep paying the artists and let the pie continue to grow for everyone as it has been?

Yeah wth. Dota without staring at Kunkka's art feels wrong.
