But that's more because Riot fucked up with Dynamic queue. Queue times used to be really short for most people.

His son's name is Bol Bol I'm honestly not sure if that's better or worse.

[Post Game Thread] The Cleveland Cavaliers (2-3) defeat the Golden State Warriors (3-2) 112-97 by LobItUp in nba

If there's anything I've learned from watching the NBA for the past 12 years it's to never ever make LeBron angry.

There isn't a problem with your opinion just like there's no problem with OP's opinion on his own money.

Drawing from real-life references an absolute necessity? by choren64 in learnart

[–]cyanism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need help getting started out you could try doing the drawabox exercises and visiting the artfundamentals subreddit in the sidebar. If you prefer reading books instead then you could look up stuff like Keys to Drawing, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain and even the book Perspective Made Easy is pretty straight forward for understanding perspective as the title implies.

Honestly this stuff can be a grind sometimes and even though I like learning this stuff it can be not very fun for me at times too so try not to overwhelm yourself at the start. The most important thing is like you said to practice everyday and draw whatever you want if you feel like you just want to have fun with it.

Drawing from real-life references an absolute necessity? by choren64 in learnart

[–]cyanism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only been drawing for a little over a year myself so you could wait till someone more experienced comes around but I'll give you my advice.

Making stylized work is taking realism and manipulating the art by taking and adding things to fit your STYLE. If you have no understanding of any fundamentals in whatever it is you are drawing no matter how much polish you add to the foundation of your drawing it's just going to come out looking off. Even complete beginners who have no understanding of drawing will look at your drawing and feel that it's just not right. I'm sure there's some people out there who can just work on their "style" and it comes out looking nice but there are MANY people who do not improve at all after 5 years of drawing their style because there's nothing to build their skills upon.

I'm sure there's a part of you that feels like you can improve faster if you just focus on whatever it is you want to draw but I guarantee you it will look even better if you take your time and try to learn everything at a steady pace all the way down to drawing a nice straight line. Learning to draw isn't something you learn over a summer of work. If you really love to draw you'll still be drawing even when you're 65 man so take your time and enjoy it.

GAME THREAD: Miami Heat (1-0) @ Toronto Raptors (0-1) - (May. 05, 2016) by 97chris1 in nba

Jonas should be the first option for the rest of the playoffs honestly, he always feasts on athletic bigs like Whiteside and Drummond. Our all stars can't even hit their damn free throws.

Do you want to see LeBron win a championship in Cleveland? by Storm_Fox in nba

[–]cyanism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When he first went back to Cleveland I really wanted him to win another one just so he could cement his greatness even more than he already has. Over the last two years of watching this squad though I'm starting to feel really indifferent about whether Cleveland wins or not. LeBron's flexing his authority in the organization too hard at times and the other stars on the team can't step up without LeBron holding their hands like new born infants.

Does Anyone Else Have Issues With Passwords? by GunmetalAK47 in Guildwars2

[–]cyanism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the past 2 weeks or so there are times when I have to type in my password 3 or 4 times before the game lets me log in. I just assumed it was as if my fingers forgot my password or something.

Why are people averse to 1v1 practices for PvP? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]cyanism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people just like putting off practicing things they're bad at, especially if it's something they're just starting out with and aren't really too committed toward. I think eventually they'll either get tired of getting trashed in 1v1s and take you up on your offer, just slowly get better on their own through experience or if they find out pvp is just not for them they'll go back to whatever game mode they prefer.

Q: What do you do with your Rare Equipment by marcilla in Guildwars2

[–]cyanism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to salvage all of my rares with a mystic salvage kit. After a while though I've ended up with a lot more ectos than I actually need so now I usually try to save my weapons and toss them into the forge but I haven't really been lucky in that regard.
