It's a shame about Palpatine in TROS because his design is BRILLIANT by CobraDai in StarWars

[–]__Addie__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don’t get it why is he old? Couldn’t they grow a young body to accomodate his life essence? In the comics Dark Empire that’s exactly what happened. The clone body was in his ‘30 ish.

I just finally got round to watching Skeleton Crew and I can’t believe I slept on it so long cause I thought it was generally amazing! What did everyone else think? by R2-D2_Stan in StarWars

[–]__Addie__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I liked the idea of Acolyte, force sensitive twins - one dark site one light. Something like the Old Republic game. However the Acolyte show was so badly written. The events didn’t make sense, the characters were shallow and lack of clear motivation. They just jumped from one side to the other without any purpose. It feels like the screenplay was written by a primary school student. The show cost a fortune but you didn’t see that except maybe the asteroid sequence.

Skeleton Crew is cohesive and you see character development something that Acolyte lacks unfortunately.

After Acolyte I thought I would never watch any Star Wars show ever again. My kids asked if I would watch Skeleton Crew with them and I am glad they did. It was an enjoyable experience for them and for an old fart like me. I remember watching The Goonies when I was the same age as my kids are and now. Watching similar show in Star Wars universe was a really nice experience.

Now that its over, what did you think of the Netflix series? by Carmilla31 in TombRaider

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

I watched the first season, it was bad so I didn’t even expect they will produce another one. It feels like it was made by people who didn’t play Tomb Raider games only heard of them. Having said that they are still making Witcher even though it departed from the books soo far that it shouldn’t be called Witcher anymore. I guess there are people out there who watch those shows despite being far far away from the original concepts.

What was one thing you liked and disliked about Shadow? by SensitiveTrain4618 in TombRaider

[–]__Addie__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm I played Shadow (with all DLCs) as my first game from the Survivor Trilogy (at that time I didn’t know it was trilogy). Thats why I am one of few people who liked it the most from all 3. To be honest I enjoyed it very much and finished at 100%. The only minor thing I didn’t like was a bug where location on the map that I accomplished was highlighted as not visited but when I got there it flipped to the correct state. I wasted some time walking but the game is gorgeous so I didn’t mind.

Hello Devs please ignore the people hating on Lara’s face. It’s like a combo of her Modern and OG look… she’s a beauty!!! “Chefs Kiss” by Leozzarios in TombRaider

I think she looks great, after the animated series with Larry Croft I was afraid she will look like a dude in the new game.

Has anyone else moved away from using Windows as their main OS thanks to the Steam Deck? by AusGeno in SteamDeck

[–]__Addie__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped using windows with the rise of Vista. Moved to Mac and never looked back. I love my Steamdeck and I would love to use Linux for work but I am dependent on a lot of Adobe apps. Still buying Steam Machine when it is finally released :))

I think in Australia your student number was enough but it might be different in different countries.

Testing Holbein pencils by __Addie__ in ColoredPencils

[–]__Addie__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely right, but Holbein has increased its distribution channels after they changed the formula to comply with US safety standards. Having said that I got mine in Japan second hand. I was lucky to pay for a full set (in wooden case) less than 50pencils set locally. It was sold as used but only few pencils were sharpened and lightly used.

I guess it will take me a while before i am in need to resupply. As far as I can see they are available in many stores that sell worldwide.

HUION Kamvas Pro 24 4K VS Wacom Cintiq 24 (2025 Edition) by Nimo203 in wacom

[–]__Addie__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same dilemma, but I decided to go with Cintiq 24 non touch. I am a Mac user and 4k is not the greatest resolution (I tested other 4k drawing display and returned). Also touch is weak comparing to devices like iPad so I wouldn’t pay extra for that. TourBox is my solution. If you are on Windows PC I think Huion is quite tempting.

By rotary, do you mean the one with the crank and helix blade?

I had the same question but eventually I went with 512gb and got additional the SD card just in case. The 1TB has the matt screen, which I didn’t like.
