  • My life is turning into an Abbott and Costello routine. Me: Hello, I just want to know when my next sensor comes in. Company: You'll have to ask the supplier. Me: Ok who is that? Them: I don't know. You have to ask them. /facepalm
    My day started off great. I got 1 day left on my blood sugar sensor and no new one. The food I ordered yesterday never showed up. And my phone was suddenly disconnected.
    Well, since I can't stop mappers from ghosting me I'll have to look elsewhere. But I'll prolly end up paying through the nose.
    So I sent my game demo to be entered into a game showcase. They asked if I had a website for my game. So I listed my game page here. I don't know if that will count or not.
    Just once I would like to see some innocent person stumble upon a body in a crime show and instead of scream they sigh and just say, "Found another one."

    Innocent person finds body, says a joke, records said joke, damages career, bounces back, tricks friends into crypto scheme, is killed by the original killer for tricking them into crypto scheme, and then a new person finds their body and says a joke.

    @SGHarlekin I guess I could say that if I ever stumble upon another one.

    @lianderson There was someone on here trying to sell crypto. IDK if it was against the rules but I reported him anyway.
    Since no one is reviewing my game I'm just gonna review other people's game. Whether they want me to or not. Today's victim Tutorial Town.

    Asked me what now? Where? I don't have any DMs or notifications of anything?

    Edit:
    Ahh, I've found it now. On a reply to your own profile post... Without a tag... To answer your question: No, I don't think I will. I don't know what gave you the impression that this was the idea in the first place. I just pointed out that it might be a good idea to post the link to your game if you wanted to advertise it.

    @HexMozart88 Oh, no! Not light criticism that starts with '"This is cool BUT" is something that isn't even how I frame my review. Where I identify problems and suggest solutions and add a bit of humor to the mix. With thought-out subsections on each part of the game. Thanks again for showing that you never even read it.

    @TheAM-Dol Thanks, Dr. Phil. From someone else that didn't actually read the review. Because there is no spite in it.
    You know you are overdue for a bath when your cat stops trying to lick you clean and just tries to bury you in the litterbox.

    @Shaz Maybe that's the reason for needing the bath.

    Actually, my cat has never licked me. Nor does he like to be held. Or play with cat toys. He is defective. He does make a mad dash at the window when he sees birds fly by. Which ends with a loud THUMP. The previous owners returned him once already without an explanation. Now I see why.

    I also have a "special" cat :) The kind you wouldn't wish on anybody, but you couldn't bear to give up.
    I think my mom asks me what I want for X-mas so she knows what not to get me. A little food pensioning from undercooked ham. Get bitten and scratched by her feral cat. And something I don't need and didn't ask for. x-mas.
    To me 'Twitch' seems like a bad name for a company. Twitch is usually what happens before something dies.

    Discord is where hope goes to die. Several mappers that told me to use it just tend to wander off and I never heard from them again. You'd think if you'd paid people to show up they would. But....nope.

    @Tanarex Yikes. That's pretty sucky. I can't relate because I'm in a Discord channel with some online friends I've known for years, but I hope you come across one with like minded people who don't drop off the face of the Earth.

    @SGHarlekin Yeah, but why would a company want to advertise that? ;)
    A demo of my game is up if anyone wants to try it. So if you like games that make you use your brain or you just hate yourself you can try mine. Full of puzzles, minigames, comedy, increasingly difficult combat and a dark mystery.
    So WoW had a free 3 day trial where you can play as the new Dragonmen race. While learned to play as one you had to learn to soar through floating rings. So everyone could relive playing the beloved game Superman 64.
    What do you guys think of getting xp from quests but not enemies?

    Like spillycat said, you'd need to find a way to prevent battles from feeling like a pointless annoyance. But if you account for that in some way, I think it can be fine. Honestly kinda hard to give a complete answer these types of questions in a profile post though, since we have a character limit.

    Except your game is action/FPS and/or the main mission is to clear the area, there won't be a reason to fight.

    @spillycat I decided that each solo boss battle will be worth the same xp when the characters are at the same level. It will be impossible for them to over-level because there is no grinding or respawning in my game. I was having a problem where one character was at level 3 and the others were still at level 1. You all make good points.
    I'm adding Achievements to my game. Because Achievements are fun. And some will be hidden achievements. So you will have no idea how to finish them. Because I'm EVIL. MWAHAHA! Should be done by New Years.

    Nothing wrong with Achievements they give me a great sense of ac.....complishment....

    Ok, a demo of my game is finally up. Just in case anyone is interested. It is not an easy game. You can lose by answering a question wrong. There are dark, timed dungeons. Puzzles that will require fast reflexes and decent memory. Quirky and whimsical comedy. Increasing difficult boss battles. And solving mysteries.

    I forgot to mention that the 1st hidden achievement can be found before reaching the town of Demore.
    I found the original names for these Ace characters. But the numbers are all off. They start at 0. Not 1. Ralph is 1-0. Not 1-1.

    I remember that in the first days of Ace there was a little confusion about the numbering. Some sites would start with 0, others with 1 and somehow one stuck and that numbering was taken over to the newer makers.

    Tanarex
    I'm just going by the numbers in the game. IDK why it starts at zero. But I'll stick with it for simplicity's sake.
    I swear my game is actually evil. Things just happen without reason. No idea why my Mason skill vanishes. It just does.

    And now all my characters can't move because I moved them from one map to another.
    So I spent 10 seconds putting a tile that fell off the wall back into place. And the next hour trying to scrub off the super glue that stuck all my fingers together.

    Belatedly, but good to know: if you don't have nail polish remover (the classic superglue fix), a soak in liquid laundry detergent can help loosen superglue! We learned this when a tube of krazy glue exploded in my roommate's hand, and neither of us owned nail polish remover XD
    I just watched the movie America Ultra. Even though I watched it for free I still want my money back.

    Oh yeah, it's not a particularly strong story or anything. And I could easily make a list of issues I have with it.

    There is actually no reason for the movie to happen at all. Here is who the phone call should have went with Agent Victoria. Mystery man: We are gonna eliminate Mile Howell even though he isn't a threat. Won't become one. Has a handler to make sure he doesn't. Has his memory wiped. And kill lots of innocent people in the way. Because of reasons.

    As far as I remember that basically WAS how the phone call went. It was terrible people being incredibly stupid with power.
    I think that I'll have to follow my brother's advise and buy some fart spray to stink him out. But he'll prolly just start show up wearing a gas mask then.

My brother makes some inane complaint about one of my stories in the comment section. My mom: if your bro doesn't understand it make it simpler. That prolly means others have questions too.☺️Me: Sorry. I can't do that. I don't speak stupid.
If you are ever looking for your cat among a room full of identical looking cats just find the one that is doing it's best to ignore you.
Isn't "tableau" such a fun word to say? Even better is that our resident artists know what it means without google and probably get to say it regularly.

one of the benefits of doing almost all the assets myself is being able to add my friend's OC from his comic book into my game as an NPC.
