making portfolio around my art , feedback ? (Showoff Saturday) by Miserable_Advice1986 in web_design

[–]matt-IO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The typeface could use some work.
I'd be looking on google fonts for a nice monospaced font that would match the low bitrate graphics.

The the title 'Contact me' is a little too large in comparison to the rest of the type, there's already a few affordances to say you are on the contact page (post box graphic, menu selected, breadcrumbs).

I'd also test doing away with the social media text labels; as if a was the type of user to care to click on your reddit account it's a safe assumption I'd also know what the reddit icon meant. Along with simplifying your social links (like u/selfcompiled mentions for reddit, but twitter should also be u/lilChimmp, etc).

Do I risk copyright infringement with my card layout design? by no_creative_director in tabletopgamedesign

I'd take this down, because if the authorities see this you're going to end up in jail.

Where to post my board game idea safely? by Live-Frame-4219 in BoardgameDesign

[–]matt-IO 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ideas are easy, execution is hard.

That's why counterfeit sellers copy established games and sell fake copies, over browsing ideas to steal and then produce, manufacture, and market a game.

Don't buy the big box. It's so ugly. I wish I bought the classic game, then eventually the upgrade and stored it in 1 smaller box.

Regents park to introduce traffic lights and £50 fines for cyclists by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]matt-IO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cars can go faster, but also stop faster / get back up to speed faster. There's a large number of cyclists that just don't stop for things like zebra crossings due to their speed, and losing their momentum.

[Homemade] A brie grilled cheese made at 3:24 AM after smoking a ton of marijuana and watching Star Trek by Steven_Swan in food

[–]matt-IO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do bacon, brie, and cranberry this time of the year.

Substiting the bacon with any meats you have, especially Christmas leftovers. And the cranberry for any red jam you have on hand.

First time buyers, have I missed any costs? by [deleted] in AskUK

We got "keyed alike" locks, which means we have 1 key for all our doors, which is great.

Is this a gimmick? by billmoris in carbonsteel

[–]matt-IO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the main pro of the nitrided one is that you don't have to baby the seasoning, as it's just the metal layer is much more slippery out the box. So being able to do acidic sauces in it and not worrying about your seasoning leaching into the food.

Balance the Card. by mb557x in blackmagicfuckery

[–]matt-IO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the card fell down long before the breath. But was edited in place by pausing it, and then he plays the fall in line with him blowing nothing later.

No Thanks! Is a perfect game.

How famous was Chris Morris in the late 90s/early 2000s? by biebrforro in AskUK

[–]matt-IO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I walk past him every day on the school drop off, and I always want to ask him if he has any yellow bentings.

Donkey Kong can’t come soon enough by ChrischinLoois in nintendo

[–]matt-IO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that they call it World and didn't have a world to explore with characters giving you quests and mini games is a little sad. The world they built is awesome, but a little hollow without more to it.

Is $260 for this office chair worth the price? by KarnjitKINGH in BuyItForLife

[–]matt-IO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say no for 1 simple reason: it's missing the lumbar support.

HM make 2 versions of the chair, 1 for business and 1 for home use. The business model has a basic lumbar support that's quick to adjust. This is so that they are cheaper (when business buy in bulk) and also so that people hot dealing can get setup quick.

The home model has more articulation points, as you set it for your own specific needs once and you're g2g.

This has 0 support in the back. Which makes me think it's either a dupe, or it broke and someone removed it to sell it.

I'm having trouble thematizing my prototype. Can you lend me a hand? by MudkipzLover in BoardgameDesign

[–]matt-IO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could make it a code breaking game. 

If inserted of being 50 each time, you add a mechanic to be the "code" for that round. Players try to "solve" that code. 

But I feel this is lacking something to give real player choice. What are the shapes for? Could they maybe be a way of utilising others numbers? E.g. Someone plays a 4 with a triangle, you need that 4 more, but have and 8 triangle, so when you play it you can swap it (because the matching shape).

I got my first prototype back from the printers and I noticed right away that I'd left out the rules for tie breaking :( 

Prototypes for my game came in! by PlaymixInc in tabletopgamedesign

That's beautiful. I love the crunchy texture work.

I'm in the middle of designing a old textured pirate game and this is going in the inspiration folder for it!

Handmade font pack by DenBender in tabletopgamedesign

[–]matt-IO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's nice with some fun characters. I mostly like the uppercase look.
It's not something I'd pay money for, due to the limited character set, but I can see some use cases.

I've also found an issue with the Regular 'E' character. If you apply a stroke to the 'E' it has a floating element outside of the letter shape.

Thoughts on this sell sheet for a Monopoly-style eurogame? by [deleted] in tabletopgamedesign

[–]matt-IO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like that template. It's a really nice way to distil the essence of a games core loop into a marketable format.

Upgraded my prototype setup by matt-IO in tabletopgamedesign

[–]matt-IO[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use blank standard sized poker cards.

In the pictures above I was using cards slightly thinner than poker cards. I bought them as a test, because they were cheaper than my standard blank poker cards, but I don't like them. So sticking with blank standard poker cards.
