honestly, there's so many things in ME1 that were just lost. Everything had that sense of wonder... the first time on the Presidium, with the music and everything. While i love the 2 and 3, 1 has a vibe that'd not been captured again.

i was hoping ME:A would try to recapture it, but they missed the boat on that one

StandardVirus

Honestly, the system is practically a game now. If you feel stronger in english, play to your strengths. tell them french is your 1st and you want to do the test in english

StandardVirus

I mean, i’ve only been playing a couple of years now and i wouldn’t consider myself good enough for any type of live performance.

I know we’re all different, but i still struggle with clean crisp rolls and single kicks as i move into faster rock beats.

The elliptical is a little lower impact

I don’t have any hard rules for you, as i switched to marvelous designer for clothing.

But when i was learning 2d and eventually 3d for folds i would start simple. References are great, they’re super important, but sometimes it’s hard to see the forest through the trees. So i would lay down folds where the limbs bend, so inside of elbows, backside of knees. That’s usually enough to get going. As you get more confident your folds can be more intricate, capturing the way fabric lies… also keep in mind not all fabrics fold and bunch the same way. Eventually, add folds and tension lines where the fabric is pulled tight.

Eventually you’ll be able to do it with very little reference

EDrumin_shill dropping more knowledge bombs on us

Citadel DLC was Bioware running on all cylinders. The cast themselves (at least English) have worked together for 3 games too. So i think it was really the culmination of all the right things, putting everything they had in the last DLC

i use a Lemon and Unlock ride cymbals for my crash 1 and 2... no issues

StandardVirus

Pragmata’s pretty good, super unique combat

StandardVirus

Lemon cymbals are pretty decent. They feel a little heavy to play.

Unlock Lightning’s are pretty much the same but feel lighter, but the bell stands a bit better than the Lemons

StandardVirus

Made by Gibraltar… i have 2 as the base of mine and i customized the crap out of them

StandardVirus

Funny story, i rented an AirBnB in a very remote location. I picked up some microwave popcorn, only to realize they didn’t have one!

So i essentially tore open the bags of popcorn and used a pot. I think you want coconut oil, as that’s what they use in the cinema or butter.

I went low and slow… i can’t recall if i kept it covered the whole time, i think i left it uncovered until the oil heated up, then covered it. It pretty much worked for me, i went until the popping died down.

StandardVirus

I mean, it’s been dubbed as “DadSpace”

StandardVirus

I would wager it’s just a reference point and the player would just adjust from there

StandardVirus

Currently playing through Pragmata… it’s pretty good and wholesome

StandardVirus

There are a couple of asian dishes that use uncured pork belly.

Uncured shouldn’t be salty

StandardVirus

a bed, drums, and a PC... everything one needs to live :D

StandardVirus

Yea! Sometimes a splash of lemon juice before and after really just brightens it up

StandardVirus

Haha no worries!

StandardVirus

A2E=Acoustic to Electric, so convert a bass drum into something or ekit can use

StandardVirus

How small are you looking for, i have a small one from Tyr Tactical, i think it takes up 3 rows of molle… if you have Velcro in that space, maybe Microbat pouches might be of interest?

StandardVirus

Lemon works like a charm, and it’s reasonably priced… A2E also works well

StandardVirus

Equal parts rice and water, use the finger technique to measure. It’s what Asians have been using for ages… bring to a boil, cover and simmer on as low as possible, don’t mess with it until done. 20-25mins for 2 cups of rice, should be about right…

If you eat lots of rice, just get a rice cooker

StandardVirus

Oh! That’s interesting! That’s good to know

StandardVirus

Yea! I think the Thai sweet dark soy sauce goes a long way… like Chinese dark gets close, but not quite there.

The char is the hardest part
