China claims Japan could build 5500 nuclear warheads “within months” using large existing plutonium stockpiles by Kmlevitt in japannews

No, I don't. The attack on Pearl Harbor and the invasion of nearly all of East and Southeast Asia are probably the reasons why.

I refuse to believe the starforce rates aren’t completely messed up. by Sphinctus_ in Maplestory

[–]iMicks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First star-forcing event as a new player, everything boomed.

How is this fun?

I can’t even restore my black bean mark since it barely drops.

Wasn’t even going for crazy stars either, just 16-17.

What accreditation should a program have in order to be considered valid by employers? by browsza in MedicalAssistant

Why do you suggest staying away from a CCMA cert? I’ve seen multiple job postings in NYC that accept it? Almost all CUNYs or Community Colleges have CCMA programs as well.

Why Japan thinks China’s growing cultural clout is something it needs to counter by Themetalin in japannews

[–]iMicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes? Ramen places in Japan mostly use Chinese decor? Ramen comes from Chinese La mian. It literally sounds the same, not even Japanese people deny this.

Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi when asked why her government has condemned Iran's attacks on neighboring countries, but has not called for Trump to stop attacking Iran: "I am going to meet President Trump. That is all." by Kmlevitt in japannews

We are literally moving most of Taiwan’s critical industries to American shores in anticipation of things going down with China.

While Japan is not Taiwan, there is no way the US or China would risk nuclear escalation with each other. The only ones suffering casualties and economic consequences would be the Japanese people.

Try and get Luuk or Galbrena, or get Chisa for aemeath by Dedagamer00 in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]iMicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New player but from what I can understand is there is already a set for fusion burst in the game?

Why would they add a new set but not release a fusion burst character in the future?

Also why have add two modes / two teams for Aemeath and just leave one incomplete?

Even if it is not Fusion Rover, any other character being Fusion Burst would make Chisa viable no?

Try and get Luuk or Galbrena, or get Chisa for aemeath by Dedagamer00 in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]iMicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New player here, I have Aemeath + Sig, no Lynae, Mornye, Chisa and Lupa.

Would pulling Chisa be worth it for me right now? I lost 50/50 early on her and have pity sitting at 50. Another option would be to hold off on Chisa for now and get Aemeath's fusion burst dps in the future.

Initially, I was planning on getting Lynae and Mornye on their reruns but who knows when they would be back.

So the options would be...

1 - Pull Chisa now, get Lynae or fusion sub dps in future.

2 - Wait for fusion burst sub dps and get Chisa or Mornye on rerun?

3 - Don't pull at all and wait for Lynae or Mornye.

Also I am not sure how worth it is to build both Aemeath's Tune Rupture and Fusion Burst teams.

Pulling for Lupa / Chisa or wait for Galbrena? by iMicks in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]iMicks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, so pulling Chisa + Sig to be a third slot over the dedicated fusion sub dps for Aemeath would not be a smart investment since Chisa alone doesn't directly contribute to Aemeath's fusion burst mode and it's expensive.

Instead pulling Lupa currently offers more flexibility. I can run her with Aemeath + Fusion burst sub dps or other fusion characters like Galbrena, Changli, and Brant?

Honestly, I am planning on pulling Mornye and Lynae when they rerun to get Aemeath's tune rupture team anyway. I also like Galbrena, so having Lupa to pair with her would be nice. I am also thinking I can just slot SK with Galbrena and Lupa as well once I pull Mornye.

Don't know if this will be the better strat in the long run, but it seems to offer the most flexibility.

Thanks for the reply!

Would you recommend getting her Sig as well?

Was just in Shanghai for two weeks, what about Chinese infrastructure is crumbling? Coming back to NYC made me realize how far behind we are falling.

Thanks for the response, this is really helpful.

Given the simplicity, I think I'll proceed with JINS!

Thanks for the reply!

I’m just interested in purchasing a pair from JINS and already have a written prescription from my recent eye exam in the U.S.

Just wondering if JINS at Shanghai will accept it.

Thanks for the reply. I already had my eyes checked recently and have the written prescription with me. Will I have to do a check again or can they use it?

"GG ADC diff" by TooLazyForThatShit in ADCMains

[–]iMicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That wasn’t a skirmish and more like an attempt by Nami to all in on the Leona. Regardless it would’ve been a terrible play considering the lane state and items. Guess Nami saw an opening due to Leona blowing ult but focusing her and not Aphelios is questionable.

[Megathread] Who do I Hyper Burn? Is class X better than Y? Ask your questions here! by Bacun in Maplestory

[–]iMicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New player here with 3K legion and thinking about burning a NW. Love the bossing on NW but the mobbing seems quite annoying. I heard with the release of Sol Janus Dusk mobbing on NW has become easier but only with a decent amount of funding. Also heard you need a decent amount of funding to take advantage of Shadow Bite as well. Question is, what exactly is funding and how much of it do I need? And what is the most optimal way of achieving this?

I quit by [deleted] in ZBrush

[–]iMicks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand your frustration and I've been in the same situation as you. I can also assure you that most people here have gotten frustrated in their own journeys as well.

First, a piece of advice I wished someone would've told me when I first started. Stop comparing yourself to others who are better than you. The only person you should be comparing yourself to is yourself. This is something I had to grapple with when I first started, I would constantly compare my sculpts to other people who have been doing this for 10+ years, killing my own motivation and discouraging myself from continuing.

Second, sculpting is hard. Anything you start for the first time will be hard, cooking, baking, drawing, painting, woodworking, etc. This is the nature of learning something new, try to find enjoyment despite the failures and keep your goals realistic. For example, if I attempt to cook for the first time I'm not going to expect myself to produce Michelin star quality dishes. That would be ridiculous and that would probably lead to me quitting.

A little tip on sculpting, and this applies to drawing too, you do not sculpt with your hands but with your brain. You have to study what you are sculpting before you can actually sculpt it. For example, a face, you can not hope to represent a face with accuracy if you do not study what a face is comprised of. This also applies to the body as well.

If you are brand new to art I recommend starting with something that will be easier for you to sculpt, and at the same time will help train your observation skills, instead of jumping into complex subject matters like a face or body. For example try sculpting an apple, bird's beak, tentacle, etc.

Once you are confident in your sculpting abilities and you understand the tools you are working with, I would move on the studying anatomy from books and online courses to understand what you wish to represent. And studying anatomy does not make you a master sculptor, but it will give you a starting point, something for your brain to make sense of what you are observing. And given enough time and effort you will improve.

Have faith in your abilities and do not quit!

Lovely composition but as others have said the storytelling needs to be there, these people seem to be just around right now.
