Within the last couple weeks we had an MO to hold five bug planets. Between the bug-only players and the MO-only players, we were doing excellently. It was also one of the first MOs where supply lines were visible in-game, so players knew where to go, and how to cut off bugs from taking planets back with defense. Arrowhead thought we were doing too well, so the bugs randomly took back a planet that had all supply lines cut off, in order to put more pressure on the order. It's not just a yo-yo, Arrowhead is also insistent that even if we do well, they'll undermine the established rules to get the result they want.

I wasn't prepared for either the level of animation or how weird it got.

No, that's a stew. A coup is a long procession that's waiting for something.

It's well-deserved confidence. The game alone would have been intriguing with just the sheer amount of choice that's available, but the fact that it's all excellently voiced is icing on the truly delicious cake. It's one of those games that probably will only keep your attention for one or two full playthroughs, but those playthroughs will definitely be different for every person. If you want to give it a shot during the Summer Sale, you can finish at least the first part of a playthrough well under the refund time for Steam, in case it's not your kind of game.

They're pretty much only in line with the people who like his humor, but SsethTzeentach has some funny ones.

It was, for most of the movie, absolutely not a good time, but that was exactly the vibe they were going for. It's cringey, anxiety-inducing, and in a lot of parts like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Definitely worth seeing, but probably not one I'd rewatch in a heartbeat.

If I had to guess, he's drawing parallels between Newman and Cruise's careers. The Hustler was the first of several films Newman made in a short period of time that marketed him as a hero. It wasn't his first Oscar nomination, but it did earn him one.

The Sting was a huge box-office success Newman was in after a bunch of flops, and helped bring him back into the spotlight.

The Color of Money finally earned Newman an Oscar, and it was reprising the same character he played in The Hustler after 25 years. You can definitely see parallels there between him and Cruise with Top Gun (36 years between it and the sequel), and weirdly enough Cruise is also in The Color of Money.

Thank you, it means a ton to hear that! My comm sheet is here, and feel free to ask anything you might have questions about, or just message me if you'd prefer it private.

All of this is just going off checking Wikipedia, so it could be wrong. Gluons are a type of particle that can have nine different "color states" depending on the quarks and anti-quarks that comprise them (despite the name, it has nothing to do with literal color). These states are made up of red, green, and blue for quarks, and anti-red, anti-green, and anti-blue for anti-quarks. Depending on the combinations of quarks and anti-quarks, the color state of gluons listed something like "red-antigreen" as "rg", with the "g" having a line over it to show it's anti-green, not green. Since you can have a color matched with the anti-version of its color, like I said earlier, you get 9 potential color states.

Then, of those 9 color states, you have combinations of two gluons of different types of states that combine. If you have a strong, stable version of this state, it's called a color state singlet. Particles like protons have this state, and it allows them to interact with other particles that also have color singlets. However, gluons can't interact at long range, that means they also can't hold a color singlet.

So, that leaves 8 potential color state couplets that can be formed. I have no idea why there's only 8 valid arrangements of those 9 couplets that aren't a stable singlet, but apparently you can only get 8.

Also tagging @[email protected] because I don't think they'd get notified.

Edit: Sorry for the reply after it got answered. There was nothing when I started and it just took a while to figure it out.

Thank you so much! I'm really, really happy with how this one turned out.

 

Characters this time are Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash.

 

Done for lunartwilight16 for her D&D character.

 

Done as a request for Miles.

Still trying out more, but I'm actually pretty happy with how this turned out. If there's anything I can improve, or anything you'd like me to draw, just let me know.

 
 

I tried out a lot of new things with this. Texturing is near-nonexistent, but I was focusing mostly on lighting. If you have any suggestions on what could be done to help improve, please let me know!
