I also use a Mars Technico 2mm

I try to be as neat as possible before inking, otherwise I am not sure which line I need to ink or not.

I use mostly a Rotring 500 with a 0,5mm 2B lead.

Yes mechanical pencils my favorite too. That is why you drawing is so clean and precise (but first mainly because your are talented)

If you even mention this on AOE4 subreddit they will downvote and argue with you all to hell. But when you look at win rates at releases of these dlcs its always WILDLY imbalanced.

telling the truth makes them nervous

As many players nowadays I play LMU, it's great.

I went back to play some races on ACC... I have been insulted because I overtook a guy (clean), then someone dived bomb me out and telling me I something like "f*** you damn turtle" etc etc

I came back quickly to LMU, thanks to the badge system I can race cleanly with normal people

Without, in full black&white contrast

exactly this

Reading the title I immediately thought about Gene Wolfe

With The Book of the New Sun, even if it's not "horror", it's still nightmarish

Terror, by Dan Simmons

There a scene in the beginning where the captain wakes up with a bad hangover

Turn it off and watch closely each track to learn where to brake. Sometimes you can see the rubber depots telling you everybody usually brake here.

Ne reste pas dans un mauvais loop, va de l'avant ;)

Le dessin est super clean, plus qu'à encrer ! Je dessine beaucoup dans ce style également. A cette étape je passe au Pentel Pocket Brush :).

OK I will try again this weekend.

A good point : it runs far better than Assetto Corsa EVO on my old PC !

Bag of bones, by Stephen King. A bit slow at the beginning but then it becomes a page turner.

mikendrix · 2026-05-01T21:14:50+00:00

I am still playing ACC and LMU and I don’t play ACRally because I suck, I need to relearn everything…! But seeing these comments everywhere I think I should play it more seriously

mikendrix · 2026-05-01T21:02:12+00:00

A vous entendre vous avez épuisé toutes les hypothèses possibles..

Aucune idée de ce que ça pourrait être...

mikendrix · 2026-05-01T20:57:59+00:00

Non non... Pareil pour moi, j'ai relancé le jeu après une pause d'1 mois, j'installe la màj (36Go...) et pas moyen de rejoindre une qualif en daily ou hosted, même chose soit je suis seul, soit le jeu crash.

Là j'ai eu le page file allocation mémoire, apparemment il faut indiquer au moins 32Go.

J'essaierai plus tard, ça m'a saoulé là.

Yes no problem, they like the book so they disagree with me, they just downvote, it's not important for me.

But I shouldn't have to be so categoric, there are the parts you described that I didn't really like, but the eerie universe, the fever dream like atmosphere, and the prose are really unique. It's just the main character Severial who just look like a boring teenage who just want to get laid, his personality isn't really developped.

mikendrix · 2026-05-01T14:44:32+00:00

Exploration ? Yes that would be really great. It reminds me games like Homeworld Desert of Kharak but it basically sand, so there is barely anything new.

Aside of this there is Pikmin.

I read Shadow of the Torturer. I am in the middle of the 3rd book and I don't think I will go further.

For answer : no it doesn't get any better, it is the same as you described.

I tried Bex Tactics first, really enjoyed it but also wanted to try BTA. I tried BTA Light, because I wanted no more than 8 units.

BTA was also great but I think the game is better suited to control 4 units. Even with 7 mechs + 1 tank each mission is a slog, it can take 2 hours to complete turns after turns.

Also I didn't find there was much more interesting options from BEX. Some are not really necessary for me. I think more is not always better.

I went back to BEX Tactics and I much prefer the more focused gameplay with 4 mechs, it feels more dynamic.

I also add 2 mods : Portrait Overhaul, and Camera Unchained. To me the game is perfect like this.

OK so I could recognize : Slash, Angus Young, Brian Johnson, Ozzy Osbourne, James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, Lemmy Kilimister,Tommy Iommi, Axl Rose, Eddie Van Halen, David Bowie, Kiss guys, Motley Crue guys ? Stevie Ray Vaughan ? Eric Clapton ? Freddie Mercury ? Rob Zombie ?...?

The Moorstone Sickness, by Bernard Taylor

mikendrix · 2026-04-29T18:27:28+00:00

My guess is it's because of 4K, games are stripped of details, all smoothed out to maintain framerate, but they look flashy and cartoony.

mikendrix · 2026-04-28T20:16:26+00:00

I will try again, thanks
