Light spoilers, but even at page 291 we're still on the bug ship, so him focusing doing the 3d background for the scene seems appropriate (all the sketch pages have no background at all).

Hopefully it just means a short slowing of progress to get the background done before he speeds up again, but I admit I'm getting PTSD flashbacks to the beginning of the dreaded Shuttle Arc.™

>>97830103
I thought he was using AI for the backgrounds? Atleast for the umiak ship. Which I am totally on board with due to the glacial pace of this comic.

Theory:
Fireblade's post-combat shakes aren't PTSD or stress related or a whatever% adverse side effect to cyborg brain rewiring use only as prescribed.
Instead they are the result of Umiak experimentation and bio-tampering which also resulted in telekinesis, the exact opposite of the power they were hoping to instill (they wanted to make a farseer OR create something loyal to them I think).
Fireblade's brain chemistry is part Umiak because they know best how to work with that bio template and the rest of her brain and body behaves erratically when the nerves for telekinesis start pumping bug juice into her brainpan.

Spiral was Maiad, not Tabeni.
Stillstorm is the other Tabeni.
Talon dying because of Stillstorm's orders will give the comic narrative reason to explain Stillstorm's backstory.

>>97833804
idk if he's said anything about it but I think Arioch's plan is to use AI for the background of interstitial scenes like the boarding action where the characters are only in a room for one or two pages. While rooms the characters will be in for long stretches (like the bridge of the bug ship, which the characters seem like they'll be on for like 100 pages) he'll 3D model them. Which I think is a sensible decision.

I'm wondering if spending my money going to OP15 Pre-release tourney is worth it.. 6 booster packs for about $41, so far that price was good last week.. But now every card dropped AT LEAST $5 because they're more widely available.

I'm unsure about actually making back the money I spend with those boosters. Though there's prizes for the top 4, I wonder if I could make it there.

The reason he said "Diet-Nazi" is because implicitly, he believes that you are not allowed to make fun of fat people.

Making fun of fat people however, is universal, because being fat is undesirable, physically unhealthy, and unattractive.

This is a non problem and non tactics and non strategy and nonexistent consideration. It is exactly the same as the average NPC repeating "combined arms tactics" as some kind of magic spell.

There is no difference in effect between an Omnimech equipped with PPCs one day and Ultra ACs the next. They are both direct fire pew pews that do damage to a single target, except one runs the chance of exploding (and previously becoming useless on a 2 but that's gone, yay~). Even from an in-universe context a bunch of ACs over slower firing cannons would not meaningfully provide such a thing as "suppression" because most everyone in this universe is used to being shot at by a ridiculous number of weapons and not flinching, as a matter of course since it's just the norm.

You want to provide indirect fire for attacking dezgra and being dezgra? You have LRMs. You want to engage the enemy directly? You have lasers and PPCs for that without ammo strings attached. Woooooow, guess what Clan omni primes literally do both the above in any situation and never actually need to switch loadouts?

Shut the fuck up, faggot. Mai is best girl and one of the better-written characters in the show. She represents what a true competitive duelist has to be to become great. She’s confident, never gives up, and helps her friends and rivals improve so she can improve as well. Nothing wrong in wanting to be better at what you love doing. Some of you fags in this hobby need that kind of character, especially considering how quickly you quit or give up on ygo the moment things become too complicated.

Now, Konami seriously needs to announce better Harpie support now that Feather Storm has been banned. I unsleeved my max rarity Harpie deck last week and it felt bad. Full art Harpie support announcement would be amazing.

You should be looking for a gun to put in your mouth and preferably use buckshot because you might miss with how small your brain is.
Slabs are a scam to anyone not in the loop of money laundering. Where they throw around bullshit values like "$30,000" for a card that's maybe worth $30 because it's an asset with "no set value". There's absolutely no reason these cards, even in mint or 10 condition, should be worth that much. You'll also notice
Meanwhile rubes like you are used as a sort of cash out to make a final buck off these money laundering tools or someone else trying to get you to hold the bag after they realized they were retarded.
You will not make money. The best cons are the cons where they make (you) think you're going to be the scammer but in reality you were played the entire time by a bigger group. Go read any con artist book. You will quickly learn that you are not the guy who will make out good.

If the Salamanders are the nicest Loyal chapter who is the nicest Traitor chapter? Who causes the least problems when they invade?

>>97834347
An invasion is a pretty big problem. Also note that Traitors don't have chapters, they have warbands, which are almost infinitely less organized and usually consist of whoever the hell the man in charge can bludgeon into following him.
If I had to make a guess, though, I'd say a very particular type of Word Bearer, one which lands on-planet, conveniently fails to mention his treasonous behavior or attitude toward the Emperor, and basks in the adulation of the local populace that one of the Emperor's Angels has arrived. They will then slowly convert the populace and undermine authorities, or convert the authorities and sacrifice the populace, or whatever the hell they decide to do with a planet. Probably try to fortify it against Imperial forces, likely as a staging point for future actions.
All of these possibilities do still count as problems, though. That kind of comes with being invaded.

>>97834347
Maybe Alpha Legion? Their usual tactics involve a single squad to infiltrate a planet and then begin a cult. This is only nice in the sense that it's on a much longer scale and starts out much smaller. By the time the cults in full swing though, all hell is breaking loose and all manner of sacrifice and debauchery is being carried out in the name of Chaos.

Having hobbies takes a backseat to having kids.
Especially when they are still absolutely dependant on their parents.
Sadly, the time constraints of working a job and raising a family, are often what causes hobbyists to hang up their kit.
However, you will have more time as your child develops into an individual, and might even get the opportunity to introduce them to your kid.
Just keep the house full of the sort of things that excite the imagination towards fantasy or scifi, or whatever your main gaming niche is.
And for god's sake, take your kid to the library and help them select some good fiction once a month.

Just play games with them. Here is me playing HeroScape with my 4 year old yesterday.
As for hobby time, I have a 4 year old and 1year10month old and they have never taken from my hobby time. I do my painting and crafting in evening after they have gone to bed, or I set them up with paint supplied next to me while I paint at my desk and let them paint toy army men or pictures, so they get to be just like Dad and it's good bonding time.
When they were babies it was even easier since they just sleep around and lay all day, but at this early age they should be on their mother almost 24/7 unless you're a millennial dad married to a feminist

I mean that's kinda something they were already getting at in SC1 and Brood War. The Conclave had failed and was a broken ruin, the Overmind could only be beaten with the power of the Nerazim, and those same Nerazim were the ones who ended up saving the Protoss as they fled from Aiur. The whole point was that the current ways of the Protoss weren't working and needed to change.

>>97835164
I know that, I just feel that the change was achieved way too easily.

>>97835185
Because Artanis is the Executor - YOU - from SC1. Of course he gets shit done.

>>97835185
It sorta just happens between games since that's where BW leaves the Protoss at. Their society has essentially collapsed twice over, first with the Conclave being destroyed on Aiur then with Raszagal being killed in Brood War. Hell one of the Zerg missions in BW has you more or less blow up the biggest city on Shakuras.
The Protoss basically didn't HAVE anywhere else to progress. Artanis was their only big leader left, with Selendis being his only significant lieutenant if we consider her as the BW Executor.
Protoss kinda got written into a hole by getting slammed hard in their SC campaign and then being the first campaign in BW, letting the Terran and Zerg campaigns walk over them.

For instance I accidentally stumbled into the Striker and Many-Headed Serpent's rivalry with some of the usual roles reversed: A key aspect of the world is that it's a tautological time loop. One of the titans-aspirant will eventually consume their peers and then the whole world retroactively becoming the Ymir / Pangu primordial being who dies and decomposes into creation (which just so happens to contain the hungry hungry humans who will / already have eaten their way to retroactive godhood).

The Serpent is less a manifestation of Chaos than alternate Order based on such alien principles as to be incomprehensible to us. What if something other than humanity dominates all and so cemented itself as the foundation of all? The Serpent is both "scaly-nasty-water-thing" of visceral revulsion and the interlinking chains of impartial cause and effect which drag our worldview away from naïve anthropocentrism and into a nihilistic wasteland where people are nothing special (or worse yet throughput for whatever else IS).

The Striker on the other hand is "fertile" disorder. Their tool-weapon is both the Ur-flint, an aching wisdom tooth knocked loose by stone (as well as that percussive surgical instrument) and an idea itself extracted from the skull in pursuit of peace and quiet. Peals of thunder are as much swearing at having dropped something on his foot as vast oaks or fearsome foes falling before his wrath. Most of the "firsts" he's responsible for are accidents refined by others but the very fact he has no clue what he's up to is what makes him a wellspring of creation and especially anathema to those creations which limit alternative creativity.

Anyone focus on glass as an important industry in their setting?

Pretty sure for a lot of the west and Italy and Venice in particular, Glassmaking was an important and highly exported product. Often being highly covetted in places like China in a way that Fine china ceramics were coveted in Europe.

I always thought that it might be interesting to make a european inspired place the "foreign and exotic location where you get luxery goods" If you are in a non european inspired place like if it is more Arabian, Southeast Asian, or Japanese. Think I got the idea in part when I was playing Scarlet Heros which has some more southeast asian derived settings.


If you want to go for something more magical maybe stained glass windows and fine crystal wineglasses that vibrate and hum with magic but will shatter if the magic is not kept in check could be a cool idea. Or maybe you are a glass blower that literally blows in the breath of life to animate glass objects. Glass has a lot of interesting potentials.

>>97835314
>always thought that it might be interesting to make a european inspired place the "foreign and exotic location where you get luxery goods" If you are in a non european inspired place like if it is more Arabian, Southeast Asian, or Japanese. Think I got the idea in part when I was playing Scarlet Heros which has some more southeast asian derived settings.

The issue I see with this is that the East having all these exotic goods wasn't just a coincidence, it's way more likely that tropical countries are going to have valuable goods than a northern temperate climate. For example if we assume that there's a one in a hundred chance any given plant will produce a useful spice/dye/medicine/whatever, you're way more likely to find it somewhere like Indonesia which has over 28K species of plants than Britain which has only around 1K (Indonesia being an archipelago also helps a lot here compared to somewhere like Africa since it creates more endemism). This is why all the fancy spices and dyes came from places like India, Indonesia, and China and not Europe. Also there's animal-based goods like silk, ivory, pearls, animal skins, etc to consider as well.

Of course not all goods are as ecologically related, like minerals or some manufactured ones like glass that you mentioned, but it's still important to consider because unless you're setting your not-Europe in the jungle they'd probably still need to have a trading relationship with some exotic tropical region to get certain goods.

>>97835681
Fair enough. It wont be exotic in the "same way" as warmer and more bio-diverse climates are to europe.

I wasnt trying to imply that the not-europe would ONLY export exotic stuff, just that some of the stuff they do export would seem exotic in a non-European inspired main location.

ON the topic of glass and silk, I also find it interesting that glass making processes were also jealously guarded just like how silk making processes were in the east. The Venetians being an obvious example, but later on I believe there was like only one small German state that had the knowledge to make the finest telescope lenses and people from all over europe bought them and tried to get the secret. European telescopes more broadly meant were also another major luxury export across the globe.
