[WP] "Want to know why there aren't more wizards? Simple, learning and doing magic sucks on every possible level. Become a scientist instead; you'll have more fun, your training will be easier, and you'll effect more change on the world. Take it from me, I'm a wizard. I know these things."
You guys gave awesome feedback, and I delivered. /r/chess, I just launched a new series catered to beginners. I try to keep things as simple as possible, and if you know the rules but aren't so sure where to go next, this series is for you. Please like and subscribe for more beginner content.

Let's play a game called "post the exact same thing as numbski but get more upvotes because you aren't numbki." The rules are simple. Post the exact same thing as numbski but get more upvotes because you aren't numbki.
Know any examples of ways that bosses get tougher when faced by more players that aren't just a simple numbers increase?
In Dark Souls II (not an MMO but relevant to the discussion) there is the duo boss Lud & Zallen. You start out only fighting Lud but once he reaches a certain amount of health Zallen will join the fray. The health threshold is dependent on the number of people present. Soloing the fight puts it at 33% meaning you only have to face two at once from 33% to 0%. But with 2 or 3 people helping the threshold becomes 50% or 66% respectively. A larger percentage of the fight becomes the harder phase of the fight.
In World of Warcraft the boss Gruul the Dragonkiller has an ability called Shatter which deals damage to all players dependent on how close they are to the nearest other player. If you're standing right next to somebody it's effectively instant death for both of you. If you're standing over 20 yards away from the nearest player you take no damage at all.
A similar mechanic was used by Oondasta. He had an ability called Spiritfire Beam which would deal damage to a character and then chain to another nearby character with increased damage. The spell would continue to chain and power up until there was nobody new to hit within 10 yards or it had hit 20 people.
Both of these mechanics become harder to play around the more people you have. With enough people it would be physically impossible for everyone to live through it.
Also in WoW is Archimonde. Every time he killed a player he would gain a Soul Charge. Every Soul Charge could be used to cast a devastating AoE which would be very likely to kill at least one other person. So every player death would cause a chain reaction that would very likely wipe your group. A mechanic like that, in addition to all his other mechanics means that quality is much better than quantity. If one of your players can't learn how to stay out of the fire you'd probably be better off playing with one less person in your group.
Now this is a very short list. Only three distinct mechanics that meet the criteria. So I'm wondering if anyone can recall any others from other games.
Sorry the pictures aren’t that great it’s 1 in the morning at the time of posting but my first model is 99% done. I want to try and make things a little bright on the green but don’t know how so any tips would be appreciated.

Trying more angles and poses, may have bent the body too much and I’m not too sure about my wing placement, any complaints about the body ? Just did simple coloring and wasn’t bothered about shadows or anything so I’m not looking for critique on that, more just the shaping and proportions of things.
When the world's elected and unelected elite buy real estate in secret it makes me think the solutions aren't just going to be "more approvals/density and workforce training". The very people powerful enough to change things are the problem.

After quarantine things just aren't the same any more
Listen, I used to love Laura but now she’s really getting under my skin with how she is throwing her bb code at the end of things. Like if you’re going to take a step back then don’t work with brands because you aren’t doing them any good by posting this. But don’t forget to use her code! Ridiculous
I know custom pico logos aren't a new thing any more, but mine saved my ass at an event this week, so i thought i would share.
Okay well icons just aren’t a thing for me any more...
I can get the hybrid fine for DOTW. But I can’t get any icons. Gone through about 20 drafts and only seen 5 icons, none in the same draft. Kms
The depressing thing is that Charlie's(from "Charlie And The Choclate Factory") cynical grandfather and the optimistic one aren't any damn bit more credible than any other character portrayed negatively in the film.

[Book Recommendations] Hi everyone! Anybody have any non earth/human centric book recommendations to share? Anything where in the setting/universe humans aren’t at the centre of a political entity or particularly dominant, more bit players in the grand scheme of things. Hard or soft scifi is fine. X
Cross posting this because I wanted to get some more ideas. I have a hamster and was wondering if any of you have good foraging toys or diys, etc. that you like. Hamsters aren’t as smart as rats but if you have any suggestions I’d love to hear them! I just want some things to keep my little one busy

I like someone but it’s hard to hang out with her. We aren’t in any of the same things. How do I start hanging out & talking with her more, and how do I know if she’s not into it/annoyed?
I see her every Wednesday in journalism and we’re lab partners in chemistry. I’m 16, and working hard on getting my license, but don’t have it yet.
Also how do I get the thing next to my username with my age?
Edit: Her parents are really strict, she can’t even download snapchat so getting her number will be a challenge

When shaggy memes aren’t a thing any more
The little boys aren't even using original material any more, let alone getting things right.
DAE feel excited (and obligated) to finish watching the series even though they aren't emotionally attached to any of the characters.....but they DO want to see more of this universe because it's such an unbelievably beautiful thing to watch?
Two more episodes to go for me, and this is absolutely one of the prettiest most colorful shows I've seen. There are some excellent CGI sequences that really caught me and made me a rewind at least once in every episode so far. And the characters.....
It's too bad really that I'm not connecting with any of the characters, because they are giving solid performances and I can tell they worked very hard on this (hope that doesn't sound patronizing, it's sincere).
I plan on watching this series a second time because it looks so damn good, and I'd be able to ignore some of the dialogue and focus on this nasty sexy fantastically vivid dream world and I'm loving it. Anyone else just literally 'watching' and not really following the story too closely?
The Hydraulic Press guys aren't just crushing things any more. Oh no. They're slowly going full Mythbusters.

Useful art software or online art tools that *aren't* drawing/painting/creation software but more supplementary? Posing tools, reference organisers, colour scheme creation tools, similar things that you use and want more people to know about?
I've rarely seen people talk about this but I find supplementary software and tools to be really cool and often incredibly useful, I'd love to hear about some that people here enjoy using. ^^
A few examples:
Adobe Color - A free web-based tool for creating quick colour schemes
PureRef - A wonderful free program for saving and organising image references by project
Darktable - A really great free and open-source alternative to Adobe's Lightroom
Things along that line. ^^ It doesn't need to be free, these three are just the ones I've found the most useful so far!
Donald Trump just keeps saying things that aren't true: The idea is that Trump is purposely stretching and blurring the bounds of fact and truth to the point where now any one thing he says that's wrong or misleading doesn't get nearly the attention it might if he was a more orthodox politician.

The only thing that'd make me any happier would be to see all the unreleased seasons being released. Congrats to more memes and more hype. Glad to see storyboards aren't being changed much!

I know that the forges aren't exactly everyone's priority at the moment, but something as simple as letting them drop 1 more Modulus Report (3 total) after each completion would make the forge weapon grind significantly smoother.
Just a thought. I've been grinding some weapons there lately and I feel like I'm having to dip in to the forges too frequently just to get my next bounty started.
