True, I just think SMs just tend to have much more scarring from battle and surgery. And Sanguinious is a Primarch lol (though not nearly as handsome as Fulgrim ๐Ÿฅด)

Honestly I feel like that's how FSMs would look in universe anyways. We got too many artists making pretty faces for a Grim Dark setting lol. And while appreciated, just doesn't lend itself well to the setting imo. These look amazing though.

I'd rather hear what the employees have to say about that.

My go to armor for Stealth in Skyrim is still Boethea's champion ebony armor lol. It just does passive damage when crouched XD I need do nothing but enjoy the show! (Great for role playing a character who's a clean freak and doesn't want blood on them lol)

Crazy that I just bought it last month for my birthday at 50% off and then I see this post lol. I'm so glad I quit consoles again. It's Not the hardware though, it's stuff like this.

And I'm just here for any art that gets posted at all XD. I knew I'd be missing out by leaving, but still worth it imo.

Is that for direct payments or does this also affect steam wallet gift cards? I'm only able to use the gift cards since I gotta buy em with cash.

Instant Gratification has been horribly weaponized against us all. Along with FOMO in video games, this kind of psychological manipulation is disgusting. Everything is meant to steal your attention and THEN annoy you somehow so you'll spend money to be less annoyed.

They monetized our feelings -_-

I would love to reincarnate as a single strand of fur on the neck of that jacke-I mean what?

We JUST got a vehicle again and I'm able to start going out to the hobby shop when I'm free. And this is making me not wanna even leave the house when I need to.

Also we Metroid fans are often likely to be based enjoyers of T51b style PA because it best resembles the Power Suit, especially in the pauldrons. Though, it isn't a guarantee that's the reason. But one can't rule it out (I'm just self reporting at this point lol)

19.09.2025 15:29 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But Alas, Chinese Stealth Suit my beloved.
Also the Stealth Suit Mk2 in NV. She's basically Curie before we got Curie ๐Ÿฉท

However. ALL my companions either have the Enclave helmet with T51b body, or all T51b. The helmet of the 60 also just....it's uggy.

Not normally a stand up comedy person. But this one got me. Wait until the end, it's worth it. Not for a joke. For the story. Can't remember the last time one of these hit so close to home with the message.

Anyways: be gay, draw Samus.
Or just be gay. But don't do crimes.

Tell you what though. If this open world stuff doesn't have Actual Bounty Hunting for once, they're missing an opportunity ๐Ÿ˜‚

Seriously! Because now everyone wants to be open world. Stop it. Stick to the formula!

13.09.2025 02:50 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think I'm just feeling open world fatigue. And also like this deviates from the Metroid formula too much. We'll see if my mind changes lol

I still don't like the top of it though. It doesn't match the rest of the bike or feel like it belongs there.

13.09.2025 02:48 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No that would make it even worse lol. It's the principal of the thing. Samus doesn't need external assistance (beyond the gunship) for movement tech. This just felt like an excuse to be an "open world game that needs a horse"

13.09.2025 01:48 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I don't like the Metroid cycle.
It looks weird. And it detracts from how cool Samus is without having to rely on a peripheral for movement tech. Did we just forget the Shine Spark existed? Screw Attack? What is this absolute nerf.

I just permanently quit. It's just not worth going there anymore.

I do miss a lot of the Metroid artists that didn't migrate though.
