#5 Worst moments of 2018 in Off Topic

- Got into a minor car accident and no one was hurt thankfully
- Had to rebuild my team at work after the company let go of almost half our numbers overnight
- Grandfather had an accident and was in an out of the hospital and he's not quite the same after and we were all honestly prepared for the worse.
- Said and did some genuinely hurtful things to people and I feel like I'm not being honest with them or myself
- Anxiety is making its way into my life again

#8 best moments of 2018 in Off Topic

-TotH 2018
- Rewind II and the gamer house and creepy basement and crying watching Ready Up
- Got a promotion and fat raise at my job (retirement and health insurance woo)
- Bought a new car with money I saved from years of work
- Made up for lost time with friends (I went through much of the later years of college and post-college with not many times I saw IRL friends, now I'm trying as hard as I can to reconnect with old HS friends and new friends at work. I'm going to a get-together tonight so it has worked!)

Our spooky basement gamer house will have to wait one more year to return. How else will I be able to photograph gorgeous gamers now? :'(

#28 A passion project I've been doing. in TF2 General Discussion

C4rdisterYou did?! Please do. I'm new to graphics design and photo editing so any criticism is helpful

Hell yeah, here's the two skins I did for reference: NerdRage and Jasmine Tea. You can actually compare them to the Froyo skins in Uber's post, to see how the color keys changed in i55 vs i58.

Here's some feedback, my brain is kinda fried right now so it's a bit short:

Show Content

Keep the usage of logos minimal, use elements from the logo's color/shape to design elements of the skin. Once viewed at a distance there is a lot of noise from the amount of detail that blends together. An example is in Ascent's skin for the Demoman, there is the 'peak' from Ascent's logo on his chest and then the Ascent logo and text below that, and he has the logo+text on his arms and back. The Froyo skins for the Soldier and Demo actually do a good job of using design elements. I understand the placement of player names and I think that's pretty sick, but just keep in mind that it adds a lot of extra visual noise.
Sort of related above but a good thing to keep in mind is layering a lot of detail on top of each other. Pretty much every class has their shirt/jacket, and then some sort of straps that visually divide the torso in some way, either diagonally or vertically, I think you've done a good job about keeping those parts contrasting. Like on the back of Scout's jersey there is the Froyo logo on his back and then the logo again on his pack. Here's the back of the i58 skins for reference: http://i.imgur.com/hGH5Khg.png
Avoid straight up black or white or very bright colors, the color palette of the natural TF2 world down to the colors of the maps is slightly subdued and lower saturation. Using an off-white or a grey-ish black helps it feel more natural for the viewer. This is more of a personal taste thing (and it might be just from the screenshots), but I like to retain a good amount of the original TF2 texture, especially their reds/blues.

Awesome work dude! I can give you some design feedback if you're feeling up for it. (I did NR and JT's skins a few years ago)

I'm surprised that more indie didn't make it onto here, also didn't know I listened to that much Death Cab.

#18 Episode 3 LAN Information in LAN Discussion

From Will via Discord:

So here is the deal. Ultimate as a venue did not work out as their operating costs were extraordinarily high and would have left nothing for you all at the event itself. We are currently working on an offline event and for stuff to do for those of you who already booked travel and are coming out to California. We are still confident that the event will be great and exciting. Thank you to everyone who has been patient with us throughout this whole process.

#16 Episode 3 LAN Information in LAN Discussion

From Will via Discord:

Alrighty then here goes. We're gonna be in the final talks with a venue tomorrow that will decide whether the event stays on schedule, transitions into something else, or gets cancelled entirely. Was hoping to have something for you tonight but communication with certain parties has been difficult. Will have something by tomorrow.

BilbertThe Shadow servers aren't even in LA. They're in Santa Clara. I would actually get lower ping at my house than at "LAN."

I'm close to Santa Clara as well. Lan at my house boys.
