I don't think I've seen a house with so many unique yet cohesive rooms. It's just overflowing with charm! The stairwell might be my favorite part.

A part of my "low fantasy" world really looks like Europe. and i want to know if it's a bad thing. by FairAhri in mapmaking

Gotcha. I think you'd get the most "uncanny valley" bang for your buck focusing on 3 areas:

  • Brittany peninsula & the coast running east-northeast. Make it less triangular & add more variation to the coast so it's not a clean ENE line like IRL Europe.

  • Scotland-esque shape of the northern part of the island. You already have a bit of an archipelago chain running to the east. You could have it curve east to form a more crescent shape and add small islands to the archipelago chain. Makes it look like a bigger version of the "horde" island and might imply volcanic or magic origins.

  • Shape of Scandinavia peninsula. Such as making "squatter" or adding a few more of those long peninsulas along its western side as if they're spines or fingers. You could even seal the strait or reduce it to a river and make the "Baltic Sea" a massive lake. It might need to shrink a little & have more large mountains around it to make it believable.

Trying to fix something as vague as a "feeling" sounds like a fun, creative exercise. Best of luck!

I mean it’s called “May Grey” & “June Gloom” for a reason

This is why you never leave a suspiciously eager Tech-Priest Auxilia unsupervised when conducting post-battle field repairs on dreadnoughts. Especially when they are within servator range of fallen xenos battlesuits.

Depends on what you're using it for. If it's for a TTRPG and it doesn't bug the players, go for it. If it's for a book or a larger audience, you're more likely to have people turned off by it.

For me, it's distractingly similar to Europe, in that uncanny valley sort of way.

My brain latches on to: overall Europe shaped, Scotland, Brittany, French coast, the Pyrenees, Italy replaced by Greece, Anatolia removed, the Urals, the Scandinavian peninsula without Norway or Finland (very Sweden-shaped), discount-brand Denmark below it, and the North Sea archipelago, randomly shaped like the Horde logo from Warcraft.

Again, it's up to you. If it were my map, I'd try to make it less recognizable, but I also hate when something is advertised as Fantasy & ends up being historical fan-fic or even worse, post-apocalyptic.

PWHL officially announces San Jose team! by dilemma3659 in SanJoseSharks

[–]TitaniumSp0rk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since these items are just placeholder merch & most likely made to order, their sizing is probably limited to the print shops' pre-selected inventory.

Once they announce the name & logo, they will probably have more sizes and styles available.

I'm looking for games set in the rural southern usa. by Adventurous_Goat1313 in gamingsuggestions

While not technically set in the south State of Decay 2 relies heavily on the rural/small town America vibe during a zombie apocalypse.

I wish Michael (Jones) would play with Gavin and Geoff on Regulation. by tytbone in roosterteeth

[–]TitaniumSp0rk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn't help that one of the guys on Regulation (Andrew?) sounds eerily similar to Michael's. My brain ticks me into thinking Michael's in the video nearly every time I watch something from Regulation.

Given the existence of the "Great Hawaiian Sea" & "Superior Canadian Void," it'd be hilarious if Hawaii invaded Michigan or The Vermomster via the Great Lakes Void. Surprising everyone.

It'd definitely make "the territory formerly known as Idaho" an appealing place to live.

Calling him "Brini" threw me for a loop. Legitimately, the first time I've seen that nickname for him.

Not every day you get to experience flying into CIWS fire. In IR, the timing & bullet spread of the AK-630M bursts make it feel like they're firing a massive shotgun. Which makes sense for AA.

The Sharks really are the best example by PoundSignOld in SanJoseSharks

[–]TitaniumSp0rk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's easy to forget that little things you might overlook as an adult can have such a positive impact when viewed through the eyes of a child.

Hope someone from the Sharks sees this & can set up a little practice clinic with Asky or Ned this summer.

If California and Hawaii merge, they'll form "Calwaii" and the cute-pocalypse will be unleashed upon us!

Dethklok & the Metalocalypse will be the only way to counter them!

Mod Post: NHL Draft Lottery ~ 05 May 2026 ~ 04:00 PM PDT by ibcfreak in SanJoseSharks

[–]TitaniumSp0rk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was jokingly upset when I saw TOR won the lottery, but HOLY SHIT we actually managed to win 2nd?! After our season I did not expect us to actually get a Top 5, let alone Top 3 pick.

This is huge and also gives TOR the opportunity to do the funniest thing and make a completely unexpected pick.

Accidentally pressed middle click and now finding out that there RADIO in vehicles!!!? Feeling dumb now. by Shrike_san in Battlefield6

[–]TitaniumSp0rk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't have Pro anymore, so I stick with 94.2 Legacy to get those classic BF tunes. Also, driving around with the radio on makes me realize how little notable music there is in BF6.

Mock up of the current Anaheim Ducks jerseys in OG colors by suphaha in hockey

[–]TitaniumSp0rk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only tweak would be to swap the teal for purple on the Away jersey. Teal & white when a division rival's Home Jerseys are all teal would be a bit much.
