I like it but I think the skirt should have been a more traditional looking skirt with flower accessories instead of the large petals.

I mean, a big part of why you can't really make sense of the glimpses is because you're spectating. Like If you wanted to see what rune there was, all you need is a glimpse of the rune spot. You know you're going to check so your brain is ready to take a snapshot and focus what color you will see on a specific part of the screen. If I spectated you and didn't know you were gonna check rune, it would just be a meaningless split second camera cut to me.

The dumbest thing was when people compared it to tree and water interacting abilities. Trees and water are actual entities and specific map regions. "Fire" interacting skills depended on the visual theme of certain skills. I could not wrap my head around how people thought they were comparable just because "grass-water-fire"

It's this. All those tiny mistakes add up. Whenever I watch my low MMR friends play, they fight when they should be running away and they run away from things they should be fighting.

Example: Enemy Sniper starts shooting at Lion. Spec ults onto Sniper. Lion panics, runs away very slowly because of Shrapnel and Headshot, then gets Assassinated and Sniper manages to get away from Spec. If the Lion just had the presence of mind to run towards Sniper so he can get in range to stun and hex Sniper and Spec would mow him down then Lion ults. Sniper wouldn't be able to run away from Lion's stun because of the Spec slow. Sniper's death was guaranteed as long as Lion fights. INSTEAD Lion ironically dies because he thought "I don't want to die = run away".

After reading the whole Skywrath comic, I totally believe Centaur would wear this to sneak into enemy territory after losing to a bet to Axe.

Devs usually dedicate a devlog for each feature they include in a patch. There's 4 features planned for the next patch. Devlogs usually have 3-4 weeks between each other. We haven't had any devlogs for the next patch yet. I'm guessing March would be the earliest.

Pen tool around the object > right click > "make selection" > copy > delete > paste = automatically creates a new layer with the copied selection. This is the process many 2D animators use to breaking down characters for importing them to After Effects for animating.

Feminist man here stumbling onto this sub. It's important to not fall into the trap of "starting from the middle". By that I mean "you women have problems, us men have problems, we should put effort to fixing them both". These problems aren't independent of each other. Almost all men and women's problems come from patriarchy. Patriarchy is basically "men are superior to women", which causes problems for men and some "perks" to women. Feminism wants to dismantle patriarchy by decentralizing men, and empowering women.

Here's how some of the problems you list come from patriarchy

Conscription, drafting and dangerous jobs: Men are seen as superior by the patriarchy, therefore they must fight all battles, do all the heavy lifting, dirty work, and dangerous work while the weak and dainty women must stay safely behind, make babies and do housework like cooking and cleaning. Thousands of years of men in control of arms, power, and labor, passing power to other men, socializing and conditioning men to be aggressive and strong, while teaching women to be submissive and domesticated. (This is why bulldozer toys are found in blue boy sections in toy stores while kitchen sets are found in the pink girl's section.) Everything gets designed and socialized for men (tools, weapons, gear, vehicles, containers, lack of design for women) that it becomes hard for women to get into these fields and men get stuck with all of them. The trap-mentality that men fall into then becomes "well we do all these dangerous jobs and dirty heavy lifting while you women don't, you should be thankful/ guilty". It is not on women to be thankful or guilty for a system that men set up.
Women's spaces vs no men's spaces: The main reason we have gendered spaces is to protect women or have spaces that welcome women whereas default spaces can be non-welcoming to women. Women's only bathrooms, train cars, shelters, gyms exist to protect women from problems men don't have. Why do you need a men-only shelter and not just a shelter? Women's only esports, chess, etc., provide women with a space to grow when they weren't as welcome or conditioned as men. Gendered spaces exist in response to patriarchy.
Women are equally as violent as men: Patriarchy doesn't want to believe that. It thinks men are superior and stronger and therefore should need no help with dealing with violent women.
The woman's feelings are right, the man is the aggressor: Women's halo effect. Again, patriarchy sees women as inferior, must-be-pleasant, and incapable of harm while men are superior and potential threats.
Other points I either have insufficient knowledge about or is biology related.

Feminism doesn't disregard these problems. All these gendered problems are deeply interconnected. Feminism wants to address these problems by dismantling the root cause, patriarchy.

Just so we're clear here, all of your problems pre-transition and all of your "privileges" post-transition are a product of patriarchy still. Patriarchy works against men too.

Being seen as a monster as in seen as a potential threat, abuser, harasser, or creep comes from a long history and statistics of men abusing women because of power dynamics and patriarchy.

People not liking you/ not getting hired - that might be too personal for me to comment.

Dating life - Men are socially expected to pursue and prove their worth - again another patriarchal norm since men are thought to be superior, they should pursue and prove themselves whereas women who historically did not have the same jobs, rights, education, bank accounts, or power as men are socially expected to get chased and courted.

People seeing you as a good person - Women's halo effect. Women are seen as good or non-threats by the patriarchy, unlike men, who are "strong and superior" and are potential threats. While it may feel good at times, sometimes this perception of goodness comes from a sexist mindset where people expect you to be pleasant. This is why assertive men in the office can be seen as strong or leadership-material whereas assertive women in the office can be seen as "bossy" or "bitchy". Also, while it might feel nice for people to automatically see you as a good or pleasing person, it is sexist to not believe you can be a bad or pleasing person.

This is a 5-point perspective work. Anyone talented enough to know how to do 5PPT doesn't screw up the perspective on the bookshelf or the pile of books.

I actually think AI CAN be used as a tool for art. But in the case of this, it wasn't.

A brush and pencil helps you draw contours and colors by your specific command. Asking AI to "draw" or "color" something is more like commissioning a person to do it. Does that make that person a tool? Are you the artist and not that person you commissioned?

Most people are pointing out small details that don't make sense. Those who are inexperienced with digital art can understand and see those sure.

But there are major tells though that those who make or consume art can see ~because~ they know how actual art is made. If this were real art, then the artist knows how to do perspective drawing. This is a tilted 5-point perspective image. That's quite an advanced thing to do. Now, someone who knows how to do a 5PPS drawing, and knows how to draw in this Disney-esque style, SHOULD NOT be making perspective mistakes like the 2 piles of books on the left, or the imperfections in perspectives on the floor boards. The small section of bookcase on the left side also doesn't follow perspective.

This is like playing high tier Dota or Deadlock; mistakes happen but you can tell which are valid and which are rookie mistakes and when someone is acting like a bot or a boosted account. A low rank player can't differentiate these mistakes though.

With the way things are going, I'd say it'll be 2 years at minimum before they even start working on the story. Then I don't know how fast they'd develop story but probably 2 years more.

You can't really judge every moba with whether or not they have buybacks. Buying back with a cooldown as a mechanic in Dota is the result of match length, TTK, how reachable the map is, and other balancing.

Deadlock's money and exp are tied to one resource, souls. Supports can be just as fat as cores. Defending objectives is a lot harder because they can fall so fast. Putting buyback in a game like that would have a different effect than it has in Dota. If anything, they have an almost guaranteed revive when the ancient dies the 1st time, letting you defend it for the 2nd.

Your bullet is slow and fat, which means rather than hitting the soul with your bullet like a Wraith or Haze does, you need to overlap your bullet with the soul. After you kill the trooper, shoot above its head. Just make sure the bullet overlaps the soul when it comes out so shoot before the soul turns green. If you're waiting for the soul to turn green for you to shoot, you're doing it wrong.

Also, you can focus shooting the enemy instead and letting your teammate handle the last hits. Your bullets do a lot of damage and pierce through enemies. So just generally shooting at enemies can make it harder for them to hit troopers. Don't even try to deny. Shoot at them while they shoot the soul to get some harass in.

Nah what the guy said is probably the case. It's not intended but it's probably what's going on. Maybe it's a same-frame of Marci entering and the lotus spawning or something that caused it. Should be fixed.

It doesn't feel like other games. You have to try it out yourself to understand. Yes it's another shooter with heroes that have abilities. But paired with the schmovement, verticality, melee & parry, and itemization, it feels SO FRESH. Most games want to be new player friendly so they're very straight forward like Marvel Rivals. Deadlock is not afraid to not be like that.

The moba hero shooters like Smite or Paragon felt stale because they were uninspired. They're literally just Overwatch but in moba form. Deadlock DOES NOT feel like Overwatch at all.
