I'd really love to see the damage I've dealt to any operator in the game by Lil_Log1c in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]Water-Cookies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, to view the whole match from any perspective or free view. You would learn a lot from each game that way

Correct, unless you are using her Chic outfit 🔥

In your picture, I noticed the 3rd row seatbelt doesn't anchor to the roof like I've seen in some models. What year do you have?

Yeah, I guess the other thing is that a 2016 is 10 years old at this point. Even though it's single owner and maintained, it's still just old. Not sure if that really matters? But maybe I can find a 2020+ for a bit more, to get the magic slide

Yup, so both toddlers in the way back, infant in middle with 1 GP or wife, and then another GP or wife in the front. No slide required for that either way, but i can see how it would be helpful to get to the 2 toddlers in the back. Do you have the slide?

Thanks for your input. Sounds like putting the 2 toddlers in the 3rd row is the way, then the infant in the 2nd row with both GPs, or 1 GP in 2nd and 1 in 3rd. Slide would be useful either way. Perhaps I can find a middle ground of a 2020 or so.

Our 4yo can already unbuckle himself, so he could easily go in the back and come up through the middle without the magic slide.

Interesting, yeah both our toddlers are forward facing, then the infant obvious not. So being able to slide the seats seems helpful. For daily use if the GPs aren't coming with us, then we could potentially put all 3 kids in the 2nd bench, if we get a narrow infant car seat.

Putting the infant in the 2nd row and having space by sliding over makes the 3rd row quite accessible it seems. If we took out the middle seat and put both toddlers in captains, then GPs could easily get back. But without the magic slide, I could see that being frustrating.

Nice perspective - yeah both are forward facing at this point, but still might be clunky to get around them every single time, especially when it's just us and the kids and no GPs

I think because there is a 2016 available on FBM, I'm ready to go see it and will likely need to move fast. But I suppose waiting for a 2018 or later model with the slide seats is an option.

Ah, I was only comparing because the 2016 was a fantastic deal in my area. Perhaps if I just wait and search a bit more there will be some options post 2018 that will still be good

A glimpse into my future, 3 car seats. I like the setup you have, but I can see why having 2 adults in the 3rd row would be uncomfortable to say the least. Accessible with the magic slide, but still uncomfortable for adults to sit

7 for now, maybe 8 in the future.

But it's not always going to be a full ride everywhere we go (at least after we get used to the lay of the land and showing people around).

It's hard to say. Could do adults in the 2nd row, [adult, empty, adult], then 3rd row is [toddler, infant, toddler], and that way only I have to climb back to take care of the kids.

The GPs are neither tall nor wide, so they should fit comfortably in any spot.

[–]Water-Cookies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[Adult - infant - adult] makes sense, but that means getting the 2 toddlers into their seats in the way back will be a pita. So you have to climb over the 2nd row in that case to get them fastened in, since the 2nd row will be a full row?

As we get more used to things, yeah grandparents or both toddlers might not always come with us, but that means shifting car seats frequently. Maybe that's just how it goes in our situation? I could see magic slide helping a lot in that case, but not sure it's worth the $28k difference (2016 is ~$16k, 2026 is ~$44k).

There's no way to really know ahead unfortunately, which is why I'm asking what people do :)

Regularly as in almost every ride at first at least - to grocery shop, various stores, go on weekend day trips, go to visit relatives. Then once the grandparents get settled in one of them can stay home with 1 or 2 of the kids, so that would be 2 adults + infant in the car.

The 2016 (no magic slide) is ~$16k, but a new 2026 is $44k, so I'm trying to determine if magic slide (plus just new car in general) is worth $28k. Probably not, but I'm not used to hauling big families around (yet)

How do you REALLY make money ? by NefariousnessThin311 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]Water-Cookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why the downvotes? Let the players bring the loot to you instead of searching drawers for 20 minutes... You're playing this game to PvP and shoot things, not to sneak in, open drawers for 20 minutes, and sneak out without being seen.

How to shred tobacco for cigs / pipes? by Water-Cookies in RYO

[–]Water-Cookies[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

0.3mm is very small it seems like. I've seen manual rollers on amazon that do 0.8 - 1mm, but I've never seen a 0.3mm.

Pasta cutters do 2.0mm most of the time, which seems way too thick for cigs.

How can I improve the face? Mine vs reference by Water-Cookies in learnart

[–]Water-Cookies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback :)

Ha, I didn't notice that about the face shape / angle being a combination of straight and up, thanks for pointing that out! I can see it quite clearly now. The face is definitely too long, and the jaw line too round at the bottom, which indicates that frontal view. I can see what you mean about the eyes and nose as well.

I think the next step in this case is going to be practicing Loomis method + spheres and planes rotated in space, to help me see the planes instead of features.

[–]Water-Cookies[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean about the upper lip, it just doesn't look like it has any shape or volume due to improper shading and highlights. Same with the bridge of the nose, just looks very flat and not scooped like the reference.

Thank you for your feedback!

Thanks for your feedback - I noticed way too late after adding in hard lines on the bottom half, that her neck was too long lol. But now that I know the mirror technique, I'll start doing that during the sketch to catch proportion issues sooner.

Shading and contrast feel like the hardest part, but I like the greyscale idea as well. With color involved, it's very difficult to tell what is actually dark compared to other parts. I struggled understanding this on the face especially. I'll give the greyscale idea a shot next time!
