#crunchy data

[lurker-lenore]

Some Parse from Terror From Beyond. Hit 19K DPS, and got Vaulting Slash closer to Force Breach in terms of raw damage. Switched from Awakened Flame to Blade of the Elements, reducing my cooldown timer on VS, and upping its crit chance. If you take a close look at the first chart, you'll notice ALL my hits were crits.

Breakdown of the actual hits/damage - Breach hit 23 times, Vaulting hit 12 (13 if you count the one that got absorbed). In spite of hitting roughly half as often, Vaulting did about 80% as much damage. I'm keeping BotE, because WOW.

DPS suffered a bit on the final boss, due to some technical difficulties involving the giant tentacles. But ability spread is a bit see-sawed, with Breach doing 95% of Vaulting Slash's damage. Mostly due to having shorter engagements.

Still, my APM is up on both of these fights from last raid. Looks like that Alacrity is paying off!

hey does paris have a reference sheet or somn

this is no one you know. yes.

// squints suspiciously…. Hmmmm

Anyways, Paris doesn’t have a specific reference sheet, I’m really bad at remembering to make those/making them in general, but here’s a few references of Paris!

Star Trek AU thoughts percolating.....thinking about Tenma in next generation and how he would feel about the Borg. On the one hand: this is the next stage of evolution to him. Bio-machine entities that evolve by assimilating new species into their collective consciousness? Forever improving? He would be obsessed

But on the other hand: collective consciousness. I do not think he would be willing to sacrifice his individual self even if it meant becoming a "higher being"

i made a lastfm account back in like 2019 but it took more than 20 seconds to figure out how to use it so there isn't a single play on there

More SWTOR numbers

So I'm going to assume that most of my followers don't play SWTOR. Let me break down some of the mechanics in a Nefra fight:

All of Nefra's damage is split, meaning it's divided evenly between all the targets the attack hits. If it's a 70K hit, and two people get hit, they each take 35K. Because of this, you run Nefra with two tanks. On Normal difficulty, you can get away with an "off tank," but on Nightmare, you need two.

And that's because Nefra targets TWO members of the raid simultaneously. The target who's 2nd on the threat table gets a stacking debuff that kills you in about 10 seconds. To get rid of the debuff, you have to either go up or down on the threat table.

Which means that when Nefra suddenly starts hitting you when you're a DPS, and you see that angry red debuff, you just kind of accept that you aren't living to the end of the fight.

I had to taunt a Nightmare Boss because the tanks weren't taunt-swapping correctly and I pulled threat. Somehow.

Editor’s Picks: Top 50 songs of 2023 – Part Two

In classic fashion, my personal favourite record from 2023 came out a year ago. Eagle-eyed Instagram followers might’ve noticed too that when it came to the big Spotify Wrapped reveals, my number one song (and quite a few within the top five) were from an album that came out seven years ago! As our reviews man Ben Forrester likes to say though – don’t get it twisted! We bleed new music through…

🎨 Pixel Art Beginner Guide

Hello, I'm Tofu, a pixel artist based in England. I work full-time doing pixel illustrations or game-art. I started learning in my early 20s, so no it's not too late for you!

I run a 7k+ member Discord server called Cafe Dot, where we host events like gesture drawing and portrait club.

I currently have Good Omens brainrot so expect some fanart on this blog. I also occasionally do/reblog horror art so be mindful of that!

Due to so much AI nonsense on every platform, all my public work will be filtered/edited with anti-AI scraping techniques. Supporters on my Ko-Fi can see unfiltered work and also download it.

Why does your art look so crunchy / compressed? Glaze

How did you learn pixel art? I first started out watching MortMort and making tiny sprites. Then once I started getting interested in landscapes/environment art, I did many, many Studio Ghibli studies.

How can I also protect my art? You can use Glaze and Nightshade- Glaze protects against Img2Img style copying, and Nightshade poisons the data so the AI thinks it's the opposite of what it actually is. There is a lot of misinformation going around (likely from pro-AI groups) so do your own research too! If you're a pixel artist you can also tilt or blur your art after upscaling, which will make it near useless to AI models (or regular thieves) once downscaled again.

Feel free to send me an ask if there's anything you want to know! I am always happy to help beginners :--3

See strange new worlds and pet the carnivores.

Imagine the poor, alien zoologists. They have a human on staff to pick stuff up and generally do human related things. That little encampment has made it very very safe for certain species because the automated defences will scare off many of the large predators.

The problem is, they haven’t considered the fact that they have a very large predator inside the camp, wandering around carrying stuff and doing general human related tasks. And one day they find the human petting one of the cubs of one of the more successful local predators.

Why? Because mommy pred has been watching the camp and spotted the human looking after all the crunchy little aliens, put 2 and 2 together and identified the human as Friend Shaped, and dropped off her cub for free babysitting.

And the human is just thrilled by this, because they’re weighing, tagging and grabbing all sorts of data on an infant Szilan Deathstalker (she’s been nicknamed Princess. She likes her blanket box and stalking the head of BioAssay).

And now the camp is an important part of the health and wellbeing of the local predator population who turn up and yowl until the human takes their cubs and puts them in a box for a nap.

(Based on the story of the Cheetah female who dumped her cubs with a park ranger for safety.)
