REVIEW
The Hero by Susan Stoker
Game of Change #3
Adrenaline rushes are his thing so what would work better to provide one than working for the government in solo rescue missions to save others?
What I liked: * Kendric “Bob” Evans: retired Delta Force, survivor of brutal torture, one of four-man team that were rescued from enemy lines, in business with those men, good friend, nightmares-PTSD, looking for “something”, might have found it on his last mission to Thailand
* Marlowe Kennedy: archaeologist, innocent prisoner in Thailand, raised by her older brother when her parents died, pragmatic, positive, tiny but mighty, bright, strong, survivor, loving, kind, supportive, a person I would love to call friend
* Watching the relationship develop between Kendric and Marlowe
* The solution found for eventually getting two wonderful people out of Thailand
* Getting to see the characters from previous books in the series and finding out how they are doing
* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing
* The positive conclusion with the hook for what will probably be the conclusion of the series – although – do want to know more about Tex…
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* Thinking about greedy people willing to do anything AND corrupt people in power willing to incarcerate the innocent
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely
Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for the ARC – This is my honest review.

BLURB
In this thrilling romance from New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker, an ex-military man is on a mission to rescue a wrongfully imprisoned archaeologist—and to make her rightfully his. Any soldier who gets out of the service with his life should be happy to leave danger behind. Though his army brothers are content running their new business in Maine, Kendric “Bob” Evans isn’t ready to give up the fight. He’s been supplementing his hours with covert rescue missions organized by the FBI. But his latest charge may be more than he bargained for. Marlowe Kennedy is on a routine archaeology dig in Thailand when she’s arrested for drug trafficking. She has suspicions about the true culprit, but even when she’s rescued from prison, there’s nothing she can do about it without proof. Her protective bodyguard’s only objective is to keep her safe until they cross the border into friendly territory. The best way to do that? Travel as man and wife. After returning to Maine, as Bob and Marlowe navigate this treacherous terrain with the help of their friends, they face vengeful authorities, a vindictive frame job, and perhaps most important of all—turning their fake marriage into something real.

Guys, you know that "Dutch Van Der Linde was a manipulator who mainly caused the downfall of the gang" and "Dutch Van Der Linde saved people by giving them a place in the gang and teaching them life skills" CAN coexist right
#I mean this lovingly#characters can have depth without being chalked up to being good or bad#dutch was a good man for taking people in and giving them a chance but he was still a fucked up guy for everything else#especially with what he became in rdr1#dutch might have saved arthur and john when they were younger but he ultimately doomed them too#but that doesn't erase that he did a lot of good for giving people a chance and purpose#even if it killed them#this game is six years old now guys cmon :')#<3#rdr2#red dead redemption 2#mick squeaks#mick rants#arthur morgan#dutch van der linde#red dead redemption community

I don’t know how I never played any of the Nancy Drew games as a kid, I love point and click and I love Nancy drew and I would have been all over them!! My sister and I are playing through them together now and it is just an absolute joy. (She is however much better at puzzles than me so idk maybe they would have frustrated me as a kid)
Also it’s giving me some inspo to ~actually~ practice drawing and backgrounds etc. so anyway here’s treasure in the royal tower WIPS. I really want to do some actual illustrations from these games.
Also Evelyn/gabsmolders streams are just prime content for background comfort noise when pain flares or fatigue keep me in bed.
#I really don’t know why I picked that spot in the castle as a background study#there’s way too much detail so idk if I’ll actually colour it#also it’s blizzarding right now and the vibes of tower fit so love that for me#I am also strugggling with dexter and I think it’s cause of bias cause he’s my favourite#TRT#treasure in the royal tower#nancy drew#nancy drew pc games#also designing covers/posters or something for these games would be such a fun thing to do#I wanna do fun typography again I don’t get as much of a chance to do that at work#and like#nancy drew games#her interactive#I don't think this counts as character design really cause i'm just going off of reference.#character art#character design#but like#loose#my art <3#gab smolders#Hotchkiss#sketchbook

The real mastermind, the unpredictable subordinate, and the 'spies'
My fanarts of the new casts in Touhou 19!
Overall, I do enjoy the game! Really adore all of the new casts, the new music are cool and the story is interesting! Really nice to see more of the old casts come back in here too!
#fanart#touhou#touhou project#touhou 19#unfinished dream of all living ghost#zanmu nippaku#hisami yomotsu#son biten#enoko mitsugashira#chiyari tenkajin#more talk in the tag!#Biten and Enoko's design really strike me at the first sight. XD Cute monke!! Very cool traps!!! I do like the other three too~.#Still love the title theme a lot. <3#the more i keep listen to the new themes - the more i grow up to love them even more especially zanmu's and hisami's one.#Gameplay wise - still don't have a strong opinion here... but I do appreciate how the game seem to give more chance for clearing story mode#No penalty if you can't 1cc ; still reach the character's ending and be able to unlock the next one.#(not very sure if the continue number is limited or not tho...)#yamanoart

So I just bought 4 of these badges and was hoping for the best, since there's only a 1/7 chance of getting Satan.
What the fuck was this pull rate?
#Never have I gamed the odds on blind bags so HARD before#only 14% chance to get Satan and I get him 3 times out of 4#why can't I be this lucky irl#obey me#obey me nightbringer#omswd#obey me satan#satan#satan obey me

tutorial contents:
1 ‣ gshade & photoshop actions 2 ‣ template or cropping & colouring 3 ‣ notifs & pop-ups
okay hi! i have a really old editing tutorial from back in january that i've been linking people to, but it's pretty outdated by now. i also keep getting anons asking about the same things, which is fine, but i always have to go searching for the post explaining it, so having it all in one place will be a lot more convenient lol
i use a ☠ copy of photoshop cc 2017 to edit my screenshots, however the majority of everything i'm doing also works on photopea
photopea is an online version of photoshop that's 100% free and works very well! i can't recommend it enough, it's fantastic
first things first, you're going to need some screenshots to edit. for the sake of this tutorial i'll be working with this one of raffy:
in all honesty, gshade will do most of the work for you. of course it's not needed, but i definitely don't think i could live without it! in this screenshot i used sunset n' vinyl by nesurii
when opening the screenshot, the first thing i do is run it through 2 photoshop actions:
butter action by early-grape
smooth sharp (no topaz) by poolbrop
to add actions in photoshop go:
windows > actions > the 4 lines at the upper right corner of the newly opened window > load actions > your downloads folder > open up the .atn files!
if you're using photopea, as far as i'm aware you can't use photoshop actions, but i've found that 'filter > stylize > oil paint' and 'filter > sharpen > smart sharpen' have a very similar effect when using the right settings. try these:
i like these two actions because they smooth everything out nicely, but keep it sharp at the same time! i always run butter before i run smooth sharp, however butter may leave you with 2 layers. make sure to merge these layers before running smooth sharp to achieve the full effect.
here's a before and after (of the photoshop action):
from here you can move on to step 2
before anything else i want to share the template that i use to make editing a lot faster. you don't need to use it but it's definitely made things a lot easier for me! it's a .psd file and will work perfectly in photopea
download (simfileshare)
if you're using the template you can skip right on to the next section, as it's already cropped to the right size and has the colouring folder included. just drag your screenshot into it and resize to fit the height.
if you're not using it, crop your edited screenshot to:
1707 width x 1280 height
then adjust the colours to your liking. it always varies slightly depending on the picture but my regular process for each screenshot would be:
up the saturation by 8%
up the lightness by 3%
up the contrast by 12%
all of this can be done by looking in the 'images > adjustments' tab
you should end up with something similar to this!
if you want to add a moodlet or social interaction or anything similar, it's all the same process. what you'll need is a screenshot of it straight from the game. i just press the 'c' key to capture them! i'll be working with these two:
for the blue notification i'm going to select it using the box select tool. try to get it as exact as possible. one you have it selected
for photoshop users:
click on the 'select and mask...' option located at the top
adjust the global refinements at the side as follows:
smooth: 70 feather: 0.0px contrast: 50% shift edge: 0%
for photopea users:
go to select > modify > smooth
set it to 15
select 'ok' and press 'ctrl + c' to copy it, then 'ctrl + v' to paste it into your screenshot. adjust the size and position and you should end up with something like this:
next you want to add the transparent border around the notification. if you're using my editing template, right click on the reference notif in the layers tab and select 'copy layer style' (photopea > 'layer style > copy'). from there you can paste that layer style onto your own notif through the layers tab.
if you're not using the template, here's how to set it up on photoshop:
right click your notification layer and select 'blending options'
under styles, tick the checkboxes for stroke and drop shadow
input these settings:
on photopea, it should be more or less the same. repeat the exact same process with the social menu option, but instead of selecting it with the box select tool, use the magic select tool. in the end you should end out with this!
from here you're finished! thanks for reading! go to file and export as png
if you've got questions never hesitate to ask, just make sure to read the faq in my pinned. i might edit this post soon to include the gen intro traits and aspirations bit, but this is all for now. hope it helps, my editing process post has been in need of a revamp for a very long time. i haven't proof-read this so apologies for any mistakes!
#ts4#sims 4#ts4 tutorial#5 anons in my inbox asking the same question after not reading my faq#this ones for you#3 anons in my inbox asking about cas pics#ones coming for you soon#okay maybe not soon but sometime#all my free time has been eaten up#i signed up for extra saturday morning classes and not having a lie in is sucking the life out of me lmao#when i'm busy i just wanna play video games and when i get the chance#to play games i just wanna sleep#its a vicious cycle#i'm currently playing resident evil biohazard tho#enjoying it very very much#i've only got 2 and 3 left to play and i've played every mainstream re game 💪💪#it was a very fun journey! i played them all within this year#long post
