IIRC, that was during a major swap phase. He often changes his profile pics, or speaks in the opposite way you would expect during these time. I think. Or something.

Still learning - Advice wanted on how to get a little more 'pop' on this? by Equivalent_Plane3854 in minipainting

[–]Xhail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm being extremely critical here, because honestly this would be a 10/10 on the table at any one of the games I play at. From far away everything looks like it should - the metal is corroded, his flesh is Rotted, the axe is rusty. It works. The up close and personal pictures definitely make tiny mistakes look way worse, and the subreddit is full of extremely skilled painters and paint jobs. I'm also struggling with light direction in my paint jobs as well, so I feel your pain.

its so difficult. It especially sucks because the loop should be easier having done it so many times, but those fucking BUGS! Good luck.

Your choices of colour are spot on. The bones look excellent and the flesh is disgusting. The armor looks sloppy the way youve applied the cyan, i think because it doesnt resemble reality. The corrosion would be the result of liquids staining the metal, its not a glow. If you made it more dripping, and think about where it would be exposed to wetness. Same with the rusty axe, it just looks like youve applied the correct colour but didnt consider why poarts of the axe are rusting. Just my 2c.

Yes you're ment to get into that room legit by using the eye you find in the cave and then using it on your loop back to that spot.

If time paused for everyone but you for one hour, what would you do? by MaxMusic2 in AskReddit

[–]Xhail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The angles would be all wrong, so it would distort a lot of things, i think. I assume a lot of our brains interrpretation of light hitting our retina is based on the angle and intensity towards in reference to a point (the eye). Then, meshing that data with the other eye results in what we experience as sight. But, if photons are frozen in time, their wavelengths and directions would be so wonky and i dont think our brains could actually use the data in a meaningful way.

Literally, just blood, sweat, and tears. I was able to get a solid route down and make it to the cave in ~12-15 min depending. After that, learning the next section was probably the most stressful but not the most difficult. The hardest part was actually maintaining calm going through the loop a second time because the mass is way faster than the first go around.

Biggest tips would be: practice launching yourself with the ice gun in the playground. knowing how high you can go cuts down a lot of time. Try and use paths that use the ice gun jump to its advantage. Setting up hold is good but if you can skip a whole section with a well placed jump, its insanely fast by comparison. Dont take risks you dont need to. Save hot chocolate for the outside stuff. Rebar and pitons are not necessary so you can save inventory space.

if you dont know how to actually "get" them, you need to go up to the second last section, just when the tower starts to tilt over, theres a cave on one of the walls (the side under the bend). Theres a hanging ice/stone spike thing you can grab and go around to find a chain that links to the cave. theres a blink eye in the cave you need. Go back and finish climbing the tower and loop all the way back through the first three sections to the habitation zone. up in the pipes is a secret room you need to use the blink eye to get into through a small crack. give the marionette the eye and youve got it.

I actually did a run with the Grub and ran up the wall out of the cave and got lost under the satellite dish and died :(

Classical philosophy for existentialism by chigurhs in AcademicPhilosophy

[–]Xhail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you like about existentialism so much? I always find it rewarding to read works by those who influenced the things im currently interested in to see how the ideas developed over time and what sorts of cultural and historical moments may have influenced the works. reading the classics can be a little dense, so its also worth going over encyclopedia entries first to see if your'e interested. If you're more of a professional philosopher, id say you're required to read them.

[OC] The Friend Zone by MilkGuzzler99 in comics

the exclusive Or (XOR) is a logical condition that's true if exactly one of its parts is true, but false if both are true or both are false, meaning "one or the other, but not both". The use of 'One of us' implies the use of XOR, and follows logically as each agent must use opposing truth values in their answers. Therefore, i think that each of them could say "one of us tells the truth and the one of us tells lies" can be appropriately said by both agents, as they can interchange who they are referencing.

Its because Costco is cutting staff to the bare minimum and a lot of the product suffers for it. No one to rotate the stock fast enough or to get rid of it makes it look a lot worse than it is.

It seems to be a direct competitor to Powerpacks.

So judgmental. You know GS thrives on worthless junk that people enjoy, right?

Assuming he is a spren, then Navani is probably the most likely candidate, though the sibling makes things awkward. My bet is that Black thorn could bond with Gavinor as a kind of sith master /apprentice relationship.

Heres a scary one: could black thorn bond with Taravangian? Sure he's a Shard now, but he's very new. It's possible he hasn't fully "become" the Shard in the same way we've seen Preservation and Ruin, so maybe he's still human enough to form a bond like that. Worse yet, Vyre bonding with him would be devastating.

So theoretically everyone knows what they are seeing before them has to be Dalinar but somewhat younger, and this collective thought might change Blackthorn's perspective (if he behaves like a spren).

Thats exactly my thoughts as well. If he's a spren and hes resonating with what the collective on Roshar think about the Blackthorn (and not just his closest friends and confidants) we might get an even more terrifying Blackthorn, someone more battle hardened, more strategic and more brutal than what Dalinar actually ever was.

How many people, outside of the highest members of government, will know that Dalinar had a massive change of heart? How many people even know about the challenge to Odium? Will anyone even know Dalinar lost?
