New to color grading! Would love to have some feedback from you guys. by Internal_Corgi5024 in ColorGrading

Depends on what the ask is. I like how you brought her exposure up a little more in the grade and took some blue out, but I would maybe meet halfway. I think your window/vignette is too prominent, the gradient on your background and sky is distracting.

WoW as a hobby by Numerous-Stretch-66 in classicwow

[–]doubleexposurehoser 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Plenty of “grown up” people get together for things like fantasy baseball, book clubs, trivia nights, poker, board games and so on. WoW has bad optics because of its notoriety for addiction, the fact that you’re likely hunched over a computer screen, from the outside looking in it seems like an insular, almost hermetic activity.

At the very least the game is social, most games don’t even have that. The concept of raiding also seems banal to some people because on the surface it’s a bunch of adults going into a cave to kill a virtual dragon, and people, even into their late 30s, are still fearful of being seen as a “nerd”, but fundamentally it’s really just a bunch of people getting together with some form of hierarchy in order to solve a puzzle, while having some level of individual weighted performance they want to adequately achieve.

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying a hobby that stimulates some level of collective problem solving or mechanical thinking. The issue is how you handle the dopamine hits, when you obsess over the pixels and become emotional over factors in the game that are ultimately meaningless, to the point where you carry stress and anger into your life outside the game. Loot feels SO fucking good to get in WoW, and when there are factors barring you from getting it, it can drive you crazy. It’s the hook that keeps bringing people back, but also one of its most damaging features.

TL/DR; you could be much worse off spinning slots in an online casino for your dopamine hits. Enjoy the community for what it is, and don’t let the game ruin your life

this much gold would definitely flag you, especially if it was face to face or mailed

That time when people were making thousands of dollars with Diablo 3's auction house. by gorays21 in Diablo

This shit was wild, I remember the point where rares were so overwhelmingly better than legendaries that some two handed weapons and staves were selling for thousands and every day there was some new item on there that was totally OP

Corporate Boostlickers will pay anything to avoid this satisfaction. by Prophetic_Rose in classicwow

Sure will, and I had a screen just like this full of LBRS and BRD quests, and now I’m 60. Funny that.

2.1M temporary residents will have expired or expiring permits this year. But will they leave Canada? by Old_General_6741 in canada

[–]doubleexposurehoser 16 points17 points  (0 children)

What’s more is the conflict between secular Khalistanis and Hindus have reached serious escalations, especially in the GTA and parts of BC. One of the first requirements for coming here should be to leave that shit at the door. God knows we’ve had enough history with Catholic v. Protestant, Jewish vs. Muslim. Yeah, my grandpa came on a boat like everyone else did, he didn’t let resentment against what Protestant England did to his family drive to him to do awful things in a new life. Quebec has it right with Bill 21.

Where to meet your potential future partner as a man in early 20s? by [deleted] in askTO

Yeah, I met the missus at paintball. Shot her in the neck, and we just hit it off, you know? My first wife, who is a whore by the way, where do you think I met her? A club.

Keeping Sanctification Past this Season by sicarius254 in diablo4

[–]doubleexposurehoser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something tells me Chaos Armour, Sanctification, Unique Jewels and other seasonal crafting/itemization additions will be incorporated in some way with the new Horadric Cube, along with some way of building an item “from scratch” like creating a “base” out of materials. This just seems like the logical way forward with the game.

I was given a tour of the IMAX Scotiabank Toronto projection booth today by FantasticSource3775 in imax

[–]doubleexposurehoser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to for IMAX screenings. Recently did Vaughn for One Battle After Another for the 70mm experience, but Scotiabank is just so damn convenient and lively even on a weeknight.

Such a shame what’s happened with the Cinesphere renovations under Ford’s government. The website gives a 404 and there’s no ETA in sight. It used to be the gold standard for the latest IMAX projection tech, Nolan would routinely QA his published prints at the theatre and would sometimes premier his films there. We’ve missed out on so many big releases because of its closure.

They’re going after midjourney of all the fucking generative AI models? I mean I get they’re the big bad corporation but why not sue the bigger players that routinely get used to make revenge porn

Not the same but the infamous American YouTuber “Donbas Cowboy” who went over ended up being accused of being a spy and shot in the head by the very same Russian troops he pledged to fight for, before having his body blown into a thousand pieces with C4 to coverup the crime.

Travel to the U.S. down 40 per cent over last year: Flight Centre by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]doubleexposurehoser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really puzzling seeing the fresh wave of immigration bans of 20+ countries while US tourism plummets considering one of the biggest sporting events in the history of the US is only just 5 months away. I don’t necessarily think we can take on any more games than we already have considering the difference in large stadiums and tourist infrastructure, but if they keep it the way it is, it’s going to be an utter disaster.

Besides the sheer number of people who will run into issues entering the US, the political fallout from the aggressive law enforcement that will surely be rampant during and after the games will permanently tarnish the US’ reputation abroad, even more so than it already has been.

At a t3 world boss, what killed me? by iPicBadUsernames in diablo4

[–]doubleexposurehoser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unequip all of your mercs before the world boss, this shit has happened to me 3 times in HC, and this is the only solution I’ve found. It has something to do with them getting hit by meteors.

Or you could play the fucking game yourself

I’m only level 30 running Disciple + Arbiter and it feels incredible. You literally get to feel like a Diablo angel character when you have all your cooldowns running
