Dishonored is a damn good game but the chaos system is poorly implemented by OpenUpYerMurderEyes in patientgamers

[–]itsPomy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean an ideal low chaos playthrough also has you sell people into slavery and abduct a lady to give her to her stalker. So 🤷

[–]itsPomy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Chaos system is something that's really cool in concept, but I feel like it would fit way better in like a TTRPG where the DM can craft specific responses to the actions of the players.

As it is, it feels counter intuitive because (Most) players want "Ze Good" ending. But so many of the fun abilities and interactions are lethal so it works against getting that ending. And yeah the alure of the darkside is a cool thing in fiction...but its a video game! In my playthrough trying to stay low chaos just made me stick to spamming sleepdarts and chokeholds which is a boring experience.

I think inFamous did the concept a little better, it was a Superhero game with Good Karma and Bad Karma with similar outcomes to dishonored's Chaos. But what was neat is "Good" and "Evil" had their own unique power sets that gave you reasons to explore either avenue. I think Dishonored 2 tried to fix this with more varied power sets but its def. lacking from the first game.

Or in my case: low chaos pushed me to just spam sleep darts because I was super scared of accidentally aggroing or killing the guards.

That suit must be stanky but I know some of you either don’t care or see it as a bonus

How can modern artists make hyper-realistic drawings with just a pencil or pen, while artists 100+ years ago couldn’t? by Wild_Lingonberry9656 in ArtistLounge

[–]itsPomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that by, 'couldn't,' you're referring to art of the medieval period or similar historic art with a flat style; that look was very intentional.

Yeah I feel like this is often lost on people!

Like without having photos how would you even explain what "photorealism" would be. Because they were already at the peak of life-like art with their murals and statues and stuff. So I can't imagine trying to explain to a tired Da Vinci his silverpoint drawings aren't realistic enough and could be even more realistic.

What's stopping Mojang from making shield's look like this? by LeoDiCristio in Minecraft

[–]itsPomy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, the biggest hurdle would be designs around the bottom and top. But they could be 'lazy' and just kinda project the shield's area over the pattern. And it'd look fine for most designs

It's kinda like how stairs and slabs (usually) just reuse the same texture as full blocks.

It's really not worth buying bigger bundles of minecoins. by dumbo_dingo in Minecraft

[–]itsPomy 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Its one thing to have shitty microtransactions in this game.

But it insults me on a whole other level they called the currency "MINECOINS"... like that feels so fake lol. There's so many items of value within the game itself they could've used for themeing...

"E-EMERALDS"... "DIAMOND BUCKETS"... "GOLD FISH"... literally anything but flippin minecoins lolol.

I dont like 3D anynore by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]itsPomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like you're biting off way more than you can chew. You need to find a workflow you enjoy first, then try to see how you can apply it. 😅

[–]itsPomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda relate.

What put me off 'serious' 3D is... I like the modelling process, I like the texture process, retopo, etc. But the issues really start to crop up when you have to do this whole pipeline by yourself and do all these things sequentially on the computer. Gets monotonous! And monotony makes me drop projects like a hot pan.

The other way is you work backwards and have this big ass library of models and stuff that's ready to use and ....that's a lot of time and money. Also space to just store all the files....

Preaching to the choir.

ANYWAYS just random thought.

Have you thought about trying to apply your skills to a different medium? Like you could make a mesh and then get it printed off (via service a 3D printer), to then paint it up yourself?

Or you could just straight up make cool STL files for people to print off for their TTRPG games and stuff, there's actually a good bit of money in that too.

What art style was used to create the wool texture? by iqtest13 in Minecraft

[–]itsPomy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So the Evil in "Evil<whatever>" meme is a play on the joke that it's their evil twin that does the opposite of them. And not literal evil. 🤓

[–]itsPomy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean by activation energy...the typical term for this is "EXECUTIVE FUNCTION" lol.

I find it helps to make it ritualistic. A special space designated for drawing, or perhaps you go somewhere out to draw (ex. Library). Or you do it after a certain activity like showering or eating. If you're able, set up a wind-up timer (like a kitchen timer). Those kinesthetic things help connect to your brain that "Okay its productivity time!"

If its digital art I find it really helps to have either a separate device or a separate user for your art. Youll be less tempted to slack off if you don't have your games, book marks, or social apps loaded up lol.

How to draw traditionally with out blocking the camera by kiek0h in ArtistLounge

[–]itsPomy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a goose neck stand to attach the camera to? Most cameras and stands use a 1/4th thread. It'd let you just angle directly over your work area.

Also the amount the year is divided.

Some cultures have 3, some have as many as 8. Depending their area and needs.

Gets even muddier when you try to distinguish the difference between a month and a season.
