  • If you're offered a choice between having to eat plastic and having to eat dung, you could easily figure out which one is the correct choice, but why would you actively support the person forcing you into this choice?

    I think the context of "IRL rant related to something I saw" would have helped make the question not sound like you just temporarily went insane. :guffaw:

    Nah, I much better like that I accidentally came across entirely insane ;) (I actually didn't think the question seemed that strange until everyone's reaction to it).

    @kirbwarrior LOL; you can't talk about what actually happened because it's rated R. Mature content alert-if anyone viewing this has kids, please send them away now. :guffaw:
    I'm confused how there are still trailers that show zero game play in them. Is the game play in your game so boring that you're unwilling to show it? Are you trying to convince me this is a trailer for a new movie or show? For probably two decades now I've assumed that if a trailer doesn't show game play, the game play is bad, and I've yet to be wrong.
    A dozen. A dozen people this month I've run into who think that "not actively taking advantage of children" equates to "babysitting". And here I thought that was only an internet thought process.

    What I find strange about it is the thought that the company is choosing to babysit, supposedly, because of their product choices. That just seems strange to me because I have never heard that opinion. A product being used as a babysitter, sure. But never the intent put on the product maker.

    @ZombieKidzRule the idea is basically that if a company isn't doing literally everything possible to exploit people for money, they aren't being capitalists and thus are being "nice" and "babysitting". I don't understand the argument, but that's the common through-line. Also, sorry everyone about this rant of a status post completely unrelated to anything of this forum XD
    Are... you good? I don't normally take notice of long disappearances, but the sudden stop after the 27th of April kind of worried me.

    No worries C: I sometimes come on this site a bunch and sometimes go away for a while. Same for any site. This particular time I've just happened to not really be on the internet much. How are you?
    Just realized how many MV games I've hacked to make things easier. And by "easier" I mean "function at all" because running them through RMMV works better than Wine.
    I really, really want the Magic story to be good, but instead we got today's chapter of the most predictable mish-mash of tropes with almost no personality. I let go of the physical game years ago, but I can't seem to let go of the story.

    once you've experienced the basic narratives of literally any work of anything out there, you see them everywhere.
    anything "new" coming out, is just the same thing, refurbished for those who haven't seen anything.
    game, movie, anime, comic, series, anything.

    The problem isn't the tropes or even it being predictable, it's the lack of anything else. They even managed to undo what made the villain so cool by doing this.
    Someone's post in a recent thread made me remember; I have never once bought a movie ticket. I've gone to the movie theaters quite a bit for never buying one, but it's always been a case of someone taking me to the movies, sometimes for my birthday. Any other activity and I'd pay for it, sometimes even cover everyone's expenses. I just apparently don't care enough about movies.

    Same, though no one has taken me to the movies in over a decade either. Think the last film I saw in theatres was...kickass, however long ago that was playing in theatres.

    I've... never even been to a movie theater. I can't be bothered to sit down and watch anything for more than 15 minutes because I have too many hobbies to keep me busy. XD

    @Philosophus Vagus For some reason I haven't been to a theater in a few years ;) Kickass is one of the few movies I wish I did see in theaters.
    Downside to always being in private browsing; I have to log in to every site every day.
    Actual downside; A site having a terrible color scheme that literally hurts my eyes until I log in to get it fixed.

    Nah, this site is just merely white. White backgrounds are fine in the short term, it's the long term that causes problems, so the moment it takes to log in isn't an issue.
    Buh. Come today to 31 alerts. I don't think I've seen even double digit alerts before. Wonder what I got myself into.

    To be fair tho, most were inaccessible as the user had deleted the status & hence the comments too.

    @Avery That's basically what happened. I made a vague comment on someone's status but then a whole conversation blew up tangentially related to it.
    @Poryg Nice! I'm not surprised, I vaguely see how often you post here.

    Actually, it was not my post. It was someone else's one... and it caused an unexpected controversy. :D
    For some reason I've thought that "cover" in RPG Maker (substitute) always protected allies that had any amount of HP less than the user. Been wracking my brain for an hour trying to figure out why my Cover state wasn't working until I found out it works by checking "low" HP (25%?) instead. I can't for the life of me think of why I thought this.

    Idk which engine you're using, but I wrote a quick code to modify MV's substitute to protect all allies, which you can also do by setting everyone's target rate to 1% and having a state that assigns a target rate of 2000% to the substitute doer.
    kirbwarrior
    kirbwarrior
    MV, but I thought it was like that since VX. There's many ways to protect allies and thanks for yours, I just for some reason thought it was "any ally with lower HP" and now I'm messing around with Yanfly plugins to recreate what I wanted.
    I've noticed that there are certain types of things I avoid putting in my stories and games because they seem TOO bad to exist and I don't want my fantasy worlds to be that dystopian. What I didn't seem to realize for a long time was how I'm taking away easy story conflicts by doing so.
    Steal my ideas: Chosen hero, needs to stop villain from destroying the world, grabs the legendary sword of- Oh, the sword is the protagonist and the chosen hero. The person wielding it is mind-controlled by the sword. Hand the sword to someone else to change 'classes'.
    Steal my stupid ideas; Make an rpg that follows every cliche, especially the dungeon for every 'element'. Except the plot of the game is a modern day regular person going to the grocery to grab more bread and then head home.
    I've wondered for years....what is the yellow creature next to Kirby? (Sorry for the random post I just've been super curious but couldn't think of how to ask :kaoswt: edit: Sorry I noticed going dow your profile I asked a long time ago I'm so sorry agh have a good one

    I think it's supposed to be a baby Mawile or something.

    It's too bad that artist seems to have just disappeared. I have permission for this picture of Jawby, but not the one that inspired it which had a Mawile holding Jawby as if it was a doll.

    And hey, no problem, Jawby is so cool you gotta ask twice ;)
    MZ now has MV animations. I'm running out of reasons to not give in and buy it.
    kirbwarrior
    kirbwarrior
    Checking the dates, apparently the sale coincided with the patch that updated MZ to allow MV animations. That... made a lot of sense in hindsight.

    The V in MV has two strokes. The Z in MZ has three strokes.
    3 is higher than 2. So MZ is better.
    Also, 3 = illuminati. Those who buy MZ will be placed under protection of the lizard people. MV people will be neglected should any incidents arise.

    Your call.

    If not for that, Starbirds and my Advent calendar have many good reasons to make that choice ;D
    Odd thought; Why do I like games that have a ton of design choices I dislike?

    I don't think there is a reason beyond sometimes you like something, and sometimes you don't. Like how I can't stand Dark Souls and its imitators, but enjoyed Code Vein because I could play as a big tiddie vampire girl. The whole Dark Souls imitator crap didn't seem to annoy me as much because of those two things. lol.
    RachelTheSeeker

    In all fairness, I guess it's how the game handles its version of design choices you hate. Or there's enough fun stuff to look past its flaws.
    kirbwarrior
    kirbwarrior
    @RachelTheSeeker Yeah, that is definitely a good chunk of it. The game that made me think of this in particular was DQ11 where they took a lot of the annoying things in DQ and shoved it over into "purely optional" territory (although speed being halved 50% of the time for turn order is pretty dumb).
    Language is wierd. So many multiple words end in S but make a Z noise (dogs, planes, images) but multiple die uses a C and makes a S sound.
    Whose sitting next to Kirby in your avatar I've been curious! Which Kirby game is your favorite? :>

Oooeee, not me drawing very dynamic poses I’ve never drawn before. Oooooeeee. I’ve gone too far and now I need to furiously find reference images.
Work in progress Farm. I borrowed the chickens from the default character sheets and ballooned them in size. The Mv sprites are really pretty when enlarged. Though they are place holders for now. I'm toying with the idea of making an actual farming mechanic and not just having a farm for cosmetic reasons. The barn was inspired by Sword of Mana.

16-bit top-down pack coming soon... \( ̄︶ ̄*\))
