Yup, I'm VERY happy to get this early Summer/late Spring weather, too! Though, today was a bit cooler than usual. Glad to hear you've been able to relax, at least.

Z? I get the feeling you've told me about it, before, but I don't really remember. I'm guessing that has to do with those pics?

Well, if you recall, it was really only a limited event, and none of my major girls (or yours) got to be involved. This will be non-war related, and much more care-free, sexy, and fun! More short and episodic, like your recent comics.
Sounds good! We were able to craft some nice little worlds with all those goodies. Though, we're still going to be doing the steampunk stuff, and not fantasy. I've slowly been gathering outfits for my girls to better suit the genre...
Btw, what the heck was the genre name you came up with for what we're doing, again?

Anyway, for now, I'm planning the Onsen comics around that map Illusion made.

Ha ha, I wouldn't doubt it! Normally I wouldn't be part of that tiny minority, but I had a lot of fun rooting for your team last year... until the Finals, lol. Plus, there's no chance in hell that I'd root for the Predators.

You'd be right about that! Yes, outside of my enjoyment of the Warriors domination, the rest of the playoffs have been pretty disappointing. People have been whining about the Warriors and the Cavs (getting some payback, this year!), but that's no excuse for the other games that didn't involve either team. Even a series that went to 6-7 games was usually pretty lopsided; close games were pretty rare. So yeah, not so fun, this year.

oops/ Accidentally VM'd myself lol.

Well no more supebowls unless we bring the girls back lol.

I have a feeling the Lions will win the superbowl before the bears win again :/

BTW pom pom curse sounds like the goat curse lol

Ahhhh, so that's why the Bears haven't won a championship since 1985!

Recently saw a show on the NFL channel of the Top 10 Football Curses.

Number 1 is, of course, the Lions' Curse of Bobby Lane...
WTF Bobby, it's been more than 50 years... give us a break, already. :(

Anyway, another one of the Top 10 Football Curses is the Bears' Curse of the Honey Bears.

In 1976, owner/founder George Halas decided he wanted dancing girls on the sidelines. "As long as I’m alive, we will have dancing girls on the sidelines."
So Halas founded the Honey Bears cheerleading squad.
From that point on, the Bears went from regular losers to powerful winners, winning the Super Bowl in 1985.
Unfortunately for the Bears, Halas died in 1983. His daughter Virginia, who took over the team, hated cheerleaders, calling them "sex objects."
When the Honey Bears' contract ended in 1985, they were fired. Super Bowl XX, when the Bears won it all, was their last performance.
To this day, the Bears are one of only 6 teams without a cheerleading squad.

Anyway, it is said that after clearing their stuff out of Soldier Field, the Honey Bears shook their pom poms at the stadium and declared that the Bears would not win another championship until the team brought back the Honey Bears. And sure enough, since then, the Bears have become sad losers, like they use to be.

So now you know. The Bears aren't losers because of poor management, or bad coaches, or even Jay Cutler.

It's the Curse of the Honey Bears.

FUCK YEAH!!!

This fuckin' game is insane... and that overtime! Laughing at the fans flippin' their shit and throwing stuff on the ice. Officials got it right, though, that was over the net, not inside.

Rooting like hell for your Penguins; especially so they can kick that poser Nashville team and all their Country-music lovin' fanbase! Already tired of that "great story", go away Country musicians. -_-

Pickups are a HUGE deal to me. There's a sound in my head I strive for, and pickups will get you there more than $1000+ mahogany.

I gave the push-pull thing a shot a long time ago, but I wasn't into it. I blame the pickup, though, as that had more to do with it than anything. I might try it out again, someday.

Btw, if I'm going to recommend pickups, it's all about Bare Knuckle! I've got Riff Raffs, Mississippi Queens, and Black Dogs (that looks weird when I read it) and all are fantastic! What pickups do you like?

I hear ya, getting out the soldering iron is part of the fun of improving sound. But... No, I don't enjoy that more than playing, lol, but it's cool to do.

There's a multitude of nice, cheaper off-brands. I used to go with Agile, for awhile. Epiphone can be nice, if you set them up properly and upgrade the hell out of them.
I think if I were to go name-brand to spend a little more, it'd probably be Fender. I don't have a Fender, anymore, though, (G&L Tribute) but I miss the one I had.

Eh... everything ok? Haven't heard from ya in a couple days. I hope that I didn't bother you with my not "liking" your cyborg related stuff; just not something I'm into, that's all.
Again, hope all is well! There's a new pic I posted, too. I've already got my first comic series in awhile planned out! It'll feature all your most notable girls, plus many of my own.

The theme?
Isn't it obvious?
Onsen.
:D

Oh, I hope it can be fixed soon then, I was just worried cause I didn't see you for a long time and usually you're here almost everyday so it felt lonely

I'm not a car junkie, so I'll take your word for it. As for the vintage PIO caps, nah, you just gotta no which off-brands to buy around the $10-15 range! :D

I can't argue with your reasoning, that's what the extra cash is for!

We are very different in that regard, than. As long as it functions good, I'm cool with it. I mix shit with guitars to see the results. I will say that only suckers buy Gibson brand parts, outside of maybe the pickups (which are even more overpriced than they used to be!). When it comes to other things, like the boob one you mentioned, yeah, that's the sort of shit that'll irritate me. Like, right now, I'm battling an aliasing issue that has presented itself since NEO was installed, and it is a pain! -_-

lol, no worries, I appreciate thought out, longer responses!

Remember that request you made in regard of tentacles vs focus?
I just figured that part out so I'll be configuring the new and old stuff to suit your request.

OK, now I can confirm from doing a quick clean install (old is backed up) that Studio NEO has terrible aliasing for me. Period.
No mods were added, just everything up to NEO. I guess I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it, and hope that the next graphics patch fixes some of this.
I tried out using ReShade to force some SMAA or FXAA, but they left unwanted artifacts on edges and blurred in others.

I can't begin to tell you how many times I've opened the config files with Notepad++... so yes, it includes that.
The trick is changing the presets, themselves, which is how I added more saturation to the color. Those presets are pretty bland, in terms of color. I don't know why plasticmind feels the need for that.
If you want the original look of HS back, use the "Default" preset with your Config. But yeah, getting the main game and the Studio to look the same or similar is a different story.

Allt e bra bra, Durå?

Tru dat, min vän c: Hur är läget?

My sweetie, I'm worried about you, are you okay? I miss you :(

Honestly, man, lol, all those prices sound like overspending/overkill! What else do you need that kind of power, for? A lot of Intel guys overclock their $200-300 CPUs and get great results. All I can say is that I'll never spend $500+ for a CPU; that's outrageous.

And why Intel/Nvidia? I'm fairly certain that the whole AMD+Radeon Vs. Intel+Nvidia combos was bullshit. I don't think it makes any difference if you mix the CPU/GPU combos, and like I said, that whole theory was debunked, years ago.
...Of course, I could just be reading too deeply into what you said, lol!

Other settings? Like what, the Shadows, SSR, etc.? I've tried many of those and nothing changed, if that's what you mean. And it's not ReShade, either, as I removed that to see if it'd fix it.
Your After Work Monday sounds like a solid plan, though on my part, I'm at a loss as to what to do.
I would be curious to see what Config settings you ended up with, as I wondered about doing that, too.

I just don't remember it ever being so bad in the old studio; even in the main game it seems lesser. It's just frustrating to see everyone else rejoicing about NEO and I'm over here struggling with a pathetic aliasing issue.
Just tried MSAA 16, and I didn't see any difference. Ugh.
Welp, sorry I gotta cut this short, but I need to jump off, now.
Talk lata, and thanks for the suggestion!

Oh, is that all it was?
Hmm... I'll give that a shot, though I do find it strange that I seem to be the only one noticing or complaining about such an issue.

Thnaks for the +rep friend :) much appreciated!

Thanks for the rep! Yup, that's Simona on the left and Sylvia in the middle. Usually can't have one without the other!

Ooh, Kyla! :P And thanks for the new girl Zoey's card, as well!
Hmm... looking at your cards, I guess I'm not alone with the aliasing/quality issue going on with NEO, as I can see some major jaggies along the skin.
Happy to see you got that running, again, though I am curious how you got it workin'.

Ahh, a new cards project, eh? Looks like fun, I'll definitely be keeping my eyes on this!
Ugh, I hate to be such a negative nelly, but this whole NEO/quality issue has been driving me bonkers. I can't not notice the issues, and I end up ultimately doing nothing. : /

I solved the 4k, but it took me about 8-9 attempts doing so. Something went bad in my 32x and 64x folders over and over. If it wasn't the 4k refusing to work, it were a loopy-loop on start-up of NEO.
I can't really say if it is BA's fault or not, but things went sour after I installed it. I'm guessing on that it's relatively safe to install.
So yeah, 4k should work for HS and NEO, but not yet for BA.

No new H animations from what I could see, but quite a few new battle animations for various kind of weapons and without (punches and kicks), along with "dying" animations.
