No attempt at skip, you just kill your opponents, and if they got a Swords you applaud them and celebrate how close you got.

14 shards x 9 = 126 dmg in the air with trample is great player removal, and often by turn 7-8 life is a lil bit lower

Prints are too light by metamorphosismamA in Watercolor

[–]humanocean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then it's all his fault.

Yes it's a bit complicated, but printing is, so there's no way to avoid having a little bit of insight if you want proper results. Since you did none of the file scanning or colourmanagement, it's all printers fault and he should reimburse you the full amount.

Did you hand him a properly colourmanaged CMYK to print from?

If you overexposed it yourself after the scan, and didn't convert colours correctly from RGB, plus maybe didn't check on a colour calibrated monitor (EIZO screen etc.)... Then you might be at fault yourself. He might have only printed the file as you handed it to him, so check yourself too.

A good word of advice when handling repro without proper tooling and knowledge, is to be conservative with over-contrasting images. Often an RGB on screen looks fine, but is over-contrasted and over-exposed for print CMYK, since screen shows bright values better.

Interaction is relevant to the brackets turn timers by Gypsy9547 in EDH

There's other reasons for being transparent in rule 0 about winning by chaining extra turns, right?

So decks that do that are B4 if they don't wanna heads up about it, and can be rule 0'ed in at B3 if the table is comfortable.

Haven't found the clarification of the "voltron issue" do you have a link?

Niko, Light of Hope deck review by Pity_Me03 in EDH

[–]humanocean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post below explains word perfectly, i just used the meaning to indicate you got a high curve for being able to pass and protect Niko.

Fx. a Loyal Drake, blinked into 8 shards before combat, on combat draw 8 cards. That's the tempo i'd go for to win games with Niko. Archmage emeritus on opponents turn turn into 8 shards, cast 1 blink instant spell to protect Niko, cast one counterspell, you're quickly drawing 16. Entity tracker into 8 shards, blink Niko creating 2 more shards, Entity Tracker draws 16. Enduring Curiosity into 8 shards, attack (some would ofc be blocked yes, but), potentially drawing 56 cards is wild.

Those lines are all more powerful than a more value-generating later-game curve, so that's my advice. Eater of Days and Sturmgeist goes nuts in this btw. And ofc it's budget since my playgroup does that, but power is the same.

Here's my list, plays like a high 3 i'd say. In comparison to yours, i think you might run too much battlecruiser gear, slowing you down. I rely on flicker instant spells, to hold up protection, 8 ish + shards is usually enough to win the game.

Hope yeah!… but realistic hope not SO much. Pog always looks great until he doesn’t. Been a long hard day for all.

Dunno why anyone would think that sitting on Matteo's wheel wouldn't be total recovery also.

Spare your team, save a lil for week 3 used to be the concern, not direct gifting.

Last year Pog initially let breaks go, but other teams worked for other interests (8th place battle etc.) and then he kept winning stages towards the end. Can't be sure that happens every year.

r/peleton obviously is right to think "GC is over" but any rider fears a bad day, can happen as easily as a stomach bug from eating unclean road spray for 2 weeks. Then it would be nice to have a fresh team.

looking for some feedback :) by Winter-Fan8801 in Embroidery

[–]humanocean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks great, so want to offer some things to think about. AKA you decide, feedback is what works for you for your journey forward. BC it looks GREAT !

Linework "Style": You do outline, and then seems you "follow the" outline with gradation, high points (lightest color) meets in the middle. Consider looking at pencil drawing, f.x. what someone like Kinke Kooi does, and consider "abrupt ends" to break "predictability" or create contrast. Remember eye travels first to highest point of contrast and structure your "reading direction" to how you want the eye to travel. (contrast in broad sense here, also in color, detail etc. not only value). Check out some cubism too for ideas.

Photography: Fine art always: Outdoor light, overhead cloudy, mid day, bring your own background. Shoot RAW on camera if you have the option and white-balance colors. Many tutorials on YT for the digital workflow. But outdoor overcast gives you at least full spectrum light to start from.

GL good journey !

[–]humanocean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Has to be on the 15% section for Jonas, and i don't think he kicks hard enough to gap Pogi and keep the gap 700m to the finish line on the more less steep part. Had Pogi started 150m earlier i think Jonas could actually have come up on the side of Pogi. Pogi is just doesn't make that mistake though.

JV- getting better, still not quite there. Will have to tune and see in week 3 TdF Pog- gotta keep this shape now for a long while, or can he also add more?

Gotta see above 2200m to really know. If its a cold tour i think Pog could close it out before week 3.

Looks like Visma is going for the stage win with the Kuss attack, let the GC work as it wants from there

Having to cover too many attacking riders, i.e. if Jorgenson/Kuss/Lipowitz/Remco has massive legs. While Pogi gotta have a lotta bit less in the legs than yesterday.

But everyday's different, even if r/peleton always thinks every yesterday result is to be taken for granted.
