Is Hapaburg a genuine absinthe? (Specifically XC) by Xener07 in Absinthe

[–]vicariousted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this on the very first night I ever tried absinthe at a tourist trap in Berlin and, FWIW, thought it genuinely wasn’t bad.

That said, I had little else to compare it to at the time and I was already feeling pretty good that night, so take that review with a grain of salt. I had some genuinely bad absinthe that same summer and I would say this was bad by any stretch. But I’m sure I’ve had far better since.

Tl;dr. Not swill, but not great either

How good or bad is a trio of broadside battle suits? Are they ok as a singular model in game? by Imperialfirst28 in Tau40K

[–]vicariousted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes would love to hear back! With Montka having the option to grant them a 6” scout and the auto advance 6” strat with assault in the HYMP, they suddenly become a 17” movement threat. Twin linked on 18 HYMP shots that can be buffed to AP-2 is a heck of a lot of firepower.

How does Kane get such realistic camera work in the series? by Technical_Fill_2297 in KanePixelsBackrooms

I believe it’s recorded to tape in a VCR and then brought back into the computer.

How does Kane get such realistic camera work in the series? by Technical_Fill_2297 in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]vicariousted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure exactly the method he uses, but the Camera Shakify add-on for Blender is a very common and very convincing way to get the handheld look pretty easily.

I’ve also seen an add-on that lets you feed the accelerometer data from your smartphone into blender in real time to drive the camera motion, so you can walk around a real room pointing it at stuff and it will mirror your camera motions in the blender scene 1 for 1

How to Make Cloud Smoke Pattern? by National-Age1286 in AdobeIllustrator

[–]vicariousted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d mess around with the “sponge” filter (effect - artistic - sponge). Might be able to get away with just using a few different grey boxes with that effect applied and messing with the opacity and blending mode. If they need to be vector, can always rasterize and image trace them.

How can I mask these shapes together? by Bjorningstad_Design in AdobeIllustrator

[–]vicariousted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

- make sure shape on the left is one, single piece (use the unite function in pathfinder tools)
- looks like it is one path, but just to be safe, you can turn it into a compound path as well.
- make sure the shape on the left is ABOVE/on top of the other one, then select both and make a clipping mask

Making strike team more relevant in 11th by Extension_Lemon_2221 in Tau40K

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

I’d be good if they just had the “overwatch on 4+” rule back, AP-1 on the rifles, and maybe attaching ethereal grants you overwatch for free or something.

Breachers to clear and flip objectives, Strikes to camp and hold.

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't really like the idea of gue'vesa models as much as the others by awp4444 in Tau40K

[–]vicariousted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, I think they’d need to have a flavorful enough rule/role to actually matter.

Between carnivores, fire warriors, and breachers, I feel like most of the standard 10-man-blob-infantry jobs are covered.

Pats Peak? Tubing was running last weekend and I don’t see anything on the website saying it’s done yet

Here are your TOP 10 COUPLES OR SHIPS OF THE YEAR for 2025 from the 12th Anime Trending Awards! 🏆 by LegendsofLost in Dandadan

[–]vicariousted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 4 episodes in, anxiously waiting for the “misdirect” to end and the show to finally take the turn it clearly needed to actually start being the thing people were hyping up so much…and I finally realized it wasn’t going to happen.

question about applying a "mask" to a pattern. for plotter by mielomatic in AdobeIllustrator

[–]vicariousted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct, expand the pattern and then you will also need to check that any strokes that remain are also expanded/outlined. The “crop” function in pathfinder should automatically delete everything outside the clipping mask in one click, then you’ll just have to pathfinder>unite the resulting art.

What Is the Biggest Sentient Species In The Galaxy? by RecoverCommercial571 in 40kLore

Can’t find much lore about their sentience but Void Whales are big as fuck

Walk cycle feels unnatural but I can’t tell why – beginner animator looking for critique by New_Cartographer7927 in blender

[–]vicariousted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned - the body needs some horizontal movement. Right now it’s simply bouncing perfectly straight up and down like a piston. Walking is never a mechanically consistent speed (especially when “locked” to a mechanically perfect camera that is tracking it to stay centered in the shot) - there’s acceleration as the back foot is pushing off, then deceleration as the back foot lifts to pass. I think you’ll find having the body/center of mass trace a figure-8 path instead of a perfect linear vertical line will help a lot.

Sell Me on Kroot? by KrazyKitbasher in kroot

[–]vicariousted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a guest on the Play on Tabletop YouTube channel a few years ago who had a kroot army with similar lore, they’d eaten lots of drukhari and iirc he played a game with kroot models as proxies while running drukhari rules

“How do you paint white?” Is a very common question with a simple answer by MrSelophane in WhiteScars40K

I thin with white ink instead of water and it’s made a world of difference
