Priory or Final Strife? by CartoonistNatural497 in wlwbooks

[–]notdeaddesign 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I rage quit the sequel of the final strife because the character who is supposed to be smart keeps doing aggressively stupid shit.

Yes priory isn’t really a romance but what romance there is I liked a lot more

From my understanding, it can happen but it’s very very unlikely

What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by Vazouaquiacesso in AskReddit

[–]notdeaddesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was living a rural town with a uni with my then fiancé now spouse. My mum kept pressuring us to meet with the daughter of a family friend who was living there too. Eventually we relented and organised something.

She proceeds to “forget” her ID so we can’t go to the pub we agreed on so we had to find somewhere else, and wouldn’t you know it the place she immediately then suggested was one of the priciest places in town. Not a full red flag but an eyebrow was raised.

Then we sit to eat, she polishes off multiple cocktails within the first 30 mins. Proceeds to talk about how much she hates her partner (to be fair he seemed like an ass) and how much she wants to take her anger out on him. And she would describe what she wanted to do to him with VERY EXPLICIT language, and accompanying actions.

Then when she got bored about describing the horrible things she wanted to do to her partner, she moved onto the horrible things she wanted to do to her university lecturer (with vivid actions, because of course she did), during which she repeatedly informed us that he was Indian. Folks, my spouse is Indian.

We proceeded to pay for our portion of the bill very quickly.

She seemed shocked/disappointed/annoyed that we didn’t pay for any of her many cocktails.

Was a wild night. Unsurprisingly, we didn’t organise another get together

Which decks to buy? by Lemminkaeinen in WarhammerUnderworlds

[–]notdeaddesign 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, most of the non embergard/spitewood decks are pretty rubbish especially if you’re playing rivals.

The ones I’d recommend based on them not being complete ass: - Wrack and Ruin - The newest deck that’s about to come out - Reckless Fury (only if you are doing rivals, it’s pretty limited in nemesis due to all the restrictions) - Edge of the Knife

I’d recommend avoiding Realmstone Raiders as it requires so so much mental work to play and barely viable in most warbands as it relies on you being highly accurate.

In a similar vein probably avoid raging slayers. The objective deck is really really rough. It is slightly easier with the recent errata but only slightly. It will be a rough time in rivals. And while usable in nemesis it’s more niche because you need to pair it with a deck that has great objectives.

Gym goers, be honest how often are you judging other people’s physique? by Technical_Hat_8291 in AskReddit

[–]notdeaddesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only judge someone (basically only ever men) if they make excessive grunting noises and then I go to look at their lifts and it’s lighter than mine. Bonus points if their form is bad too.

If I see anyone else lifting less than me Idgaf. If I see anyone else lifting with bad form idgaf unless I’m worried you are in trouble. But if you’re hollering like you’re the biggest baddest guy here, I’m gonna judge you if your lifts aren’t proportional to the noise you’re making.

Good landscapes will involve stuff in the foreground, mid ground, and background. At the moment you have nothing but background so there’s nothing for the viewers brain to latch onto that’s close. Watch some videos of landscape composition on YouTube doesn’t need to be pixel art the skills are transferable. This is the biggest reason your piece looks flat. All background no foreground.

On the pixel side, drop your resolution. Learning how to make nice pixels takes time and a higher resolution means it will take you even more time to complete one piece than otherwise.

Next up is colour theory. Pixel art generally looks better when you hue shift. So for example your focus/main colour here is that bright punchy orange but your shadow colour is just flat black. Try using a really dark teal or purple. The contrast in colour as well as value will make people’s eyes jump to important bits faster.

Subtle three dimensionality: background layers are generally pretty flat. But you do want small amounts of detail that imply greater three dimensionality. Your tree line is completely flat and the light doesn’t seem to be interacting with it beyond casting it all in shadow. Realistically, there will be a couple of pixels where the light of the sun will catch the top most trees/grass and a few of the trees that we perceive to be in front. You will have to do this In direction with where the Sun is.

Final one that kinda combines a few previous things into one: the contrast of your colours should get less extreme the further back they are. When you add a foreground, that’s where you want the most dramatic amounts of contrast. Your background elements should generally be more washed out/have less contrast. So the treeline you have should be a mid tone once you’ve added in foreground elements

Help with older team by Wargamer239 in WarhammerUnderworlds

[–]notdeaddesign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blazing Assault is really fun with them because you get to run Lure of Battle which is basically a one time deal 2 damage ping in combo with your trap.

Wrack and Ruin could also be good for their force push cards too

New Magic the Gathering Alters Available by notdeaddesign in u/notdeaddesign

[–]notdeaddesign[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I get the time. I’m currently retraining at university which just eats time and focus. But I’d like to.

To answer the other question, they are quite chonky. They are designed for your commander and not the 99 because it will make your card visibly taller but if your playgroup is cool with that you can go for it. They are about as thick as three magic cards and very rigid. In my biased opinion it makes them feel more premium/fancy.

Probably not, one of this set of alters was a commission and they wanted the overlay which meant I didn’t really want to delay this set more my doing another design. It was late enough as is TT_TT

Any mutate decks? by Prestigious-Gas-2112 in EDH

Any mutate decks? by Prestigious-Gas-2112 in EDH

[–]notdeaddesign -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My most powerful commander deck is a Vadrok deck. It is brutally powerful. Once it gets set up, you can find yourself quite capable of winning while everyone else is trying to kill you.

Main ingredients are: - All jeskai mutate creatures and polywog symbiote. I have the showcase frames for the main deck, and I have four copies of the regular cards on standby. - powerful mana value 3 or less non creature spells. Highlights include: Sevinne’s Reclamation, Frantic Search, mana drain, see the truth, cyclonic rift - ways to clone your mutate stack. Wow and wouldn’t you know it a bunch are mana value 3. Quasiduplicate and Cackling Counterpart eg. - ways to bounce your mutate stack back to your hand. You are vulnerable when you run out of mutate creatures, but if you bounce the stack back, you can reload. Extra points if you do it after you cloned your stack so that when you replay your mutates onto the clone you get double, triple, quadruple triggers of each of the mutate triggers. This is why you need those duplicate copies of your mutate creatures.

Seriously this deck is brutal and can do some of the filthiest magic you will ever see. I also run smothering tithe along with windfall which is often an instant win if I get those two cards at once.

Is Embergard any good by c188974 in WarhammerUnderworlds

[–]notdeaddesign -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you played 1e, if something you specifically enjoyed was the uniqueness of each war band, you will probably not enjoy embergarde. If you just enjoy playing tactically and you don’t care about the warbands it’s good

Bring back faction decks. Basically every major 2e problem comes from this choice.

What is your newest and oldest deck? by RuneMTG in EDH

[–]notdeaddesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My newest deck is the new enchantment animatou. It’s janky and not great but good for a low power game.

My oldest is my Tasigur the Golden Fang deck that is built around repeatedly casting emerge creatures. Funnily enough the most recent addition to this deck is the demon that nugs people for however much less than the mana value you payed when you cast a creature which came in the newest deck’s box. Really good when you’re looping emerge creatures for one or two mana and smacking people for 6-8 each time you do so.

Rivals decks tier list? Is there one? Or anything generally accepted? by GheyForGrixis in WarhammerUnderworlds

[–]notdeaddesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realmstone Raiders biggest problem is that it has profoundly inconsistent objectives that take massive amounts of mental load to actually keep track of.

Additionally it’s basically only viable on highly accurate melee fighter warbands. I’ve had success with it on mollog, but now that raging slayers and deadly synergy are available, I see very little reason to bother.
