    I just successfully tested out the graphics change note tags in Visustella's Equip Set Bonus plugin for MZ. It totally works for changing battler sprites for non-standard battler sprites even if just changing one equipped item. This gives me a lot of room to have fun making different edits of an actor holding different weapons while using non-standard battler sprites.

    The difference of load time between HDD and SSD is insane. I remember the time before internet existed, and my grade school self would have been flabbergasted.

    Pokemon Scarlet & Violet having a save-erasing bug is kind of hilarious. I hope that never happens with RPG Maker though.

    There was a set of new RPG Maker DLC releases this week on Steam but no post on the forum for the usual Thursday announcements. - Fantasy Character Pack (Gee-Kun-Soft), KR Spirit of Egypt tileset, RE-D Music Pack 5

    I might end up dumping what little there is of my entire life savings and more into this game project of mine, make or break.

    Get rich or go homeless trying. Well, maybe not THAT far, but probably more than halfway there.

    After much frustration, I learned that the default setting power mode on my new laptop was the culprit for fans hitting high gear every time I plugged in the charger. Many threads on the internet said this was just normal but it didn't seem right. Changed to a balanced mode setting and now heat/fans are just right.

    I tried Genshin Impact for the first time. The long download and massive battery drain were unexpected. Otherwise, it's not bad for a F2P.

    "It's not bad for a F2P" is one of those statements that's like "This food didn't make me puke". Technically a upside, but...

    I'm glad you like it, though, I've heard that outside the gacha-elements it's a solid and fun game.

    I enjoy it myself. I've never had too much trouble and hadn't needed to pay in order to beat anything. I usually just co-op with my fiance if I need help lol.

    Game is really fun - can't fault it there, I really enjoyed the gameplay part, but ruined by Modern Gaming, typical waifu gacha crap, and concerning ties with the Chinese government.

    Finally being able to access the files on my copies of XP, VX, and VX Ace after getting a PC laptop to replace my Mac laptop feels liberating. Being able to open exe files for stuff made by the RPG Maker community is also a plus.

    AI art generation being protected, but the images themselves not... That sounds like a fair compromise to me.

    It also means some jobs in the industry are likely going to be preserved, such as for logo artists or character artists where the IP needs to be protected to maintain a stable identity for a product/product line.

    I was worried about a certain book's trademark clashing with my planned game trademark, but I learned that a single book's title can not be trademarked (nor copyrighted btw for those new to IP law). This clears up a worry I had about potential trademark registration rejection (though it's still not 100% guaranteed).

    There are odd cases where it might be trademarked another way, but yes, most titles can be used over and over. Its why we have so many songs with the same titles in their names throughout the decades.

    I had to replace my old Macbook with a new laptop - decided to go for a PC laptop this time because the price gap between PCs and Macs widened A LOT since I got my old Macbook, and now I have access to stuff I couldn't open on a Mac. I also now have the temptation of playing all the games I couldn't on a Mac. Freedom and terror coming hand and hand together.

    Apple would sell so much more if they didn't shortchange their stuff when it comes to storage capacity and RAM imo.

    Apple products have never really been about value or power. Even if you go back and watch all those old Mac vs PC commercials, the main selling point is almost always "cooler" and "easier".

    I'll grant that Macs look nicer than PCs, but they'll never convince me they're easier to use.

    A morbid thing about collecting and maintaining a list of potential influencers and asset makers over time is that they might retire or become banned/arrested/deceased at some point, and it feels like they were just around the other day.

    The Hogwarts Legacy controversy has got me looking into how deep a rabbit hole people live in where they generate funds for potentially unethical stuff. Cars, groceries, phones, Twitter, Twitch, Amazon, etc. - it's extensive, ingrained into daily life on many levels. If the content itself is not directly offensive, it's not worth becoming an even bigger hypocrite than everyone already is.

    The argument which seems the most understandable is that she will use that royalty money on anti trans stuff. However, whenever I ask what makes people think she will do that, they tend to either immediately block me or link the ''royalty cheque'' tweet. Like 5 people linked that and I still have no clue how its even relevant tbh. But when I said that....Yeah blocked xD I don't get twitter at all.

    Harry Potter interests me so little that while reading this conversation I always
    understood the abreviation 'HL' as 'Half-Life' instead of Hogwarts Legacy. My brain was melting for a sec.

    I guess the on-topic question would be; Can you appreciate the art without appreciating the creator?.

    @ScorchedGround For me, those two might as well be unrelated. The person who made one of my favorite TV shows is a dirtbag pervert who ran a lot of shows about minors. I can clearly see what his fetishes were in the show after learning about this. But none of that changes the show itself, that's basically just behind-the-scenes stuff.

    I'm looking at the instructions for notarizing an app for Mac. I think somebody at Apple went out of their way to seek a method to make notarization as annoying as humanly possible.

    Thought of an idea to simulate a split screen moment in-game - just build the map itself (and edit the parallax background) to look like it's split between two different places. Make the split screen a separate map from the "real ones" if having to leave the split screen, to be at the real place in the game without split screen. No plugins or coding voodoo needed.

    Interesting Idea. Do i understand correctly? This is for Oldschool Zelda like Map transitions?

    No, just back-to-back dialogue in two different places for a scene.

    My goal this month will be to get back to organizing assets and make a prototype scene with multiple airships hovering or flying over the world map.

    With the uncertainty of when artists open/close their commissions, I'm keeping a long list of artists (whose work fits my game) to potentially contact for assets like busts and whatnot, and not expecting any particular artist to be available when I'm ready to start commissioning (which will probably be well before I finish my game, to make time for commission waits and actual art making).
