Inkscape, actually. This is vector graphics, and GIMP is pretty lousy for those.

FYI: if you do have the money to buy an Adobe product, and you want to make something in this style, you’re better off purchasing Illustrator than Photoshop.

There’s a reason nobody else uses Excel to make vector graphics. There are considerably better tools to do so readily available, like Inkscape (which is free) and Adobe Illustrator (which is not).

This is entertaining, but I feel like he’d be better served by just using a native SVG editor, like Inkscape.

The PS3 version is probably the best from an archival or preservation standpoint. While not the “original,” of course, the changes made were minimal. It’s the equivalent of a Criterion Collection film on Blu-Ray: remastered and captured at a higher resolution, but not altered in any manner that diverts from the…

The guest characters in SC2 didn’t harm the story, though. SC2's single-player modes were probably the most entertaining in the whole series.

I’d really prefer it if they took a year off and let the kids grow up a little. Let some time pass before yet another otherworldly threat rears its head.

It’s also a way to claim that they’re composed of only the parts of the chicken traditionally considered “meat” rather than “gristle.” Old-school nuggets, for example, tasted fine, but people freaked out when it became more popular knowledge just how much cartilage and such were getting ground up into the mix.

If Hollywood wants to see such disparities fixed, then they need to mobilize the unions. They need to push for broad reforms and new rules regarding how pay is negotiated.

I recommend picking one browser for work-related internet use and the other for personal use. As such, I’m perpetually using Chrome and Firefox in parallel.

They could do a Z book, but not as one of the series. Instead nonfiction: perhaps a biography of the author with a retrospective of the 25 books in the series.

True, though in both of their cases, they had far more years of training to hone those instincts. Luke got a crash course in his teen years; it doesn’t mean he couldn’t learn to be a Jedi (obviously he did). It could mean that missing out on the early formative years impacted his instinctual reactions.

To be fair, Luke refers to it as a “moment of instinct” or something along those lines. In other words, he really didn’t think about it. He detected evil, momentarily freaked out, and immediately realized his mistake... but it was too late.

Perhaps. I just get frustrated with people who want to end pay discrimination but aren’t willing to fight for the change necessary to bring that about.

If the Screen Actors’ Guild et. al. would get their act together, entertainment is actually one of the few industries that could make such a change without legislation requiring it.

There’s a better way to change things: reform how pay negotiations are handled across as many industries as possible.

It comes down to a cost/benefit question, though. There’s improvement at higher resolution, but the degree of that improvement comes with sacrifices. The users have to pay more for better hardware, and the developers generally have to budget more to cover the extra labor required to build that subtlety.

It absolutely is obnoxious, but that’s kinda the point. As long as it’s not too frequent and not doing any actual harm, it can be funny to see people get mad over trivial matters. It can even be funny to realize just how irrationally bothered you are over something like this.

In a game with an asymmetric balance system, whether video game or tabletop game, there are going to be some strategies / characters / positions which come out statistically ahead of others. Sometimes the difference is so stark that the best solution is a developer tweaking the code (or a designer publishing errata).

It’s not that it only worked from one at a time. It’s that the First Order would have little reason to run such a resource-intensive operation from multiple star destroyers simultaneously, particularly when they can spin a new tracker up so quickly on a different ship should the current one fail.
