I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

  • That would be the game designers’ and game director’s job. The listing in the article is for a VFX artist, who is working on the visual side at the direction of the game director.

    Just screaming “make the game more fun!” at VFX artists is misplaced. These people are necessary on games, but unless it’s a small/single person team, they don’t have any hand in the game design mechanics aside from implementing what is coming from the director.

    Nothing in the job listing seems like it is looking for a revolutionary destruction system. That seems like flourish added by article. It looks like a much more mundanely written job listing for destruction VFX, which is a role that shouldn’t be surprising in any way in a military shooter.

    From the moment I understood the weakness of your squirt bottle, it disgusted me. I craved the taste and munch of snacks. I aspired to the yum of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your rules about the countertop, as though I will listen. One day the willpower you use yell at me will wither, and you will stop begging my kind to eat food in the kitchen. But I am already eating food in the kitchen, for the zoomies are immortal…


  • There is, but nothing I can find online is great quality. There are various collections of Wally Wood’s art for sale, but they are unreasonably expensive. The snippet I posted was from a physical copy of Epic Illustrated April 1982 that has a tribute section to the Wally.

    The tribute showing a snippet of his drawing range. He could do light hearted goofy comics or serious action pieces.

    Look at the guy in the far right of the original photo vs the photo I put up. He has a fairly normal skintone in the photo I put in, and is positively oranged up in the OP photo. I think he is a good barometer of the change. This isn’t to say RFK is a baseline normal looking person, but two things can be true- RFK looks weird and the colors were heightened, with one result being exaggerating the tone that was already there for him.



  • If you don’t want to see the difference in the hue/saturation/vibrancy between the photos, I think continuing back and forth would be pointless. The colors are to my eye, clearly tweaked. In the OP image even Ronald Reagan looks like he used a little spray tan. Somehow the deep brown-grey shadow on the side of his face took on a significantly more red tint, despite this being a flat painting photographed in identical lighting between both photos.

    The unfunny answer is likely that somebody tweaked the picture to up the orange, specifically to get a reaction. Especially likely since the reverse image search pulls up reddit as the first source, and reddit loves nothing more than beating a comedy dead horse. Finding pictures that were from the same event, people are noticeably less orange colored. Even RFK who does have an orange tinge isn’t oompla loompa colored like in the OP picture.

    Also community rule 2.

    People that get into a hobby for the purpose of making it a hustle tend to crash and burn (there is an occasional success, but rare) because they lack the knowledge and experience that comes with having been in the hobby.

    The tabletop/Warhammer community is overflowing with wannabe commission “pro painters” who bought an airbrush and a bunch of contrast paints and immediately started advertising. They might get some bites, but commission painting lives off of repeat business and word of mouth. Neither of which are driven much by beginner level contrast painting and airbrushing.
