Tbh @max388 I went through almost the exact same thing but with the blend mode buttons in general. For like a year I thought "screen" was just some fancy filter for making things look like old TV broadcasts. Actually used it on a portrait once thinking it would look vintage and my friend's face came out looking like a glowing radioactive ghost. Now I just mess with random settings and hope for the best, which honestly works about 30 percent of the time but feels better than following a tutorial.

Gary, Indiana? My cousin worked a summer at a steel mill out there. Said they called hard hats "brain buckets" and half the guys treated them like a hat rack for their cigarettes. Ngl, that foreman sounds like the kind of guy who'd skip a safety meeting to go grab a coffee. The only way I've seen crews actually wear PPE is when the boss walks the floor and calls them out by name for not having it on. If the top guy doesn't care, nobody will.

Right? I saw a forest scene that was literally just three gradients stacked on each other and people were losing their minds over it. Borders and divs take real planning, gradients just feel like the easy way out.

Three rounds in I was ready to flip the table. Splendor just feels like you're counting beans at a desk job. My buddy hyped it up like it was the second coming of board games and I sat there bored out of my skull. There's zero tension or fun interaction, just staring at your own little board doing math. I get why people like the puzzle aspect but man, that game put me to sleep. Hard pass from me, your buddy means well but that's not a gateway for everyone.
