The Stranger

That's exactly what I'm doing! Great minds think alike. Also making some look more scruffy and weathered in GIMP.

Hehe yeah they do
If you want/need some tips feel free to PM me (though I'm sure you'll do fine)

Imagine making a museum with all paintings containing the facesets of the default RTP characters. Cannot unsee.

@Dalph I used to make maps for my little brother to play. I liked that you could set different mission objectives; I liked using the can't be seen one. I also really liked how each character had a different perspective of the story.

@Dalph hehe making maps was real fun, especially making them as hard as possible xD

Killing the guards without them noticing you was one of the most fun things to do in that game, alongside the challenging boss fights. I used to play with my brother as well and he end up being a much better player than me in the end.

I looked it up again, the plant you need to be aware of is called "autumn crocus". It is deadly but i was wrong on the time, it takes a few hours until the symptoms show. What makes it dangerous is, that it grows on the rim of bears garlick fields. If you want to be safe, you can grow your own bears.

Thanks for the heads-up! Wouldn't want to eat that one, sounds really dangerous.
Unfortunately, our garden is way too tiny to grow any bears, haha.

Bears start off small, so you could probably grow a cub in a pot.

@padr81 I fully agree! I felt physically comfy in my old style (T-shirt, baggy pants, etc), but it didn't feel like me. I feel more confident wearing my new outfits (pinstripe trousers, a black satin shirt, and waistcoat) than I ever did in a T-shirt.

That sounds like a stylish and individual look.

It's a nice mix of my old goth look and a more formal style. I really like it. Plan on getting a red satin shirt too.

Yeah its looking pretty fun. Keep us updatedd in if it actually is

I'd love to listen to English audiobooks and relax at the same time.
Too bad my "listening to English audiobooks" skill is so low for now, lol. I just can't really listen without concentrating hard otherwise I have no idea what's going on. (Why do they have to read it in such a poetic fast paced voice?)
I need to practice more.

@The Stranger What kinds of audiobooks do you listen to?

Only listened to a few. Listened to a few Warhammer 40k audiobooks I was given by someone I used to hang out with. Also listened to the Dunwich Horror on that Amazon Audible thing. So, not many. xD

I wonder if it goes nuts on Halloween? Does it see people dressed as monsters, even the devil, and just wants to rip their throats out?

Now am just glad she didn't train 'em to go against satin.

Yep, @The Stranger would now be in a grave danger.

Is..... is that not how one spends his vacation? Have I been lied to? I was told that travelling agency would be legit!

auhhauhuahuahuahuahuahua

Global Bloomers?

"dare to transform what others find untransformable" that one I really like

It actually sounds inspirational. lol. Makes a change from they weird stuff InspiroBot usually generates. xD

"You can arrange it so that a police officer gets laid."

This... got too real. It's like it knows me.

This owl from the NYT yesterday is so creepy it makes me want to put it in my game: https://i.imgur.com/aNF5h65.png

Hm, I guess that was not the right way to attach a pic. ^_^;

Ooh! I like the look of that one. I think that owls are one of those creatures that can look both creepy and cute. This tiny owl sorta looks like an anime character. xD

The battle SFXs sound very RPG Makerish
It feels very out of place.

And some of the menus, such as the shop, inventory, etc, look like the default RPG Maker ones. The battle sounds really do sound like they come from RPG Maker, though. xD

i see this on itch io today and have some ideas hahahaha

OMG! I'm exactly the same. It's the sense of mystery coupled with dread or uneasiness that makes me curious. Space is both beautiful and dangerous, my favourite celestial objects are stars, totally alien, and dangerous, worlds, and other incomprehensibly destructive phenomena.

The same applies to things on earth. I'm curious about strange and dangerous places such as: deep sea trenches, volcanoes, abandoned tunnels and mines, etc. Urban legends also provide that sense of mystery because they're a mix of the unknown and danger. The more unknown, potentially dangerous, and alien something is, the more I'm drawn to it. lol.

yes! the internet provides a wide variety of mysterious findings and sounds from the deep sea. I listen to that whenever I feel like sleep is overrated. I rarely got the chance to go urban exploring but the few occasions have been very unique and eery experiences.

Thats not even the most horrific dream I ever had. There was another one that truly shocked me, it was much worse but I think I cannot post it here, lol. Usually nightmares dont scare me at all, I can wake up for the jumpscare but that's all about it, a few mins after the scare I fall asleep again easily. That dream in particular though...it kept me awake all night. O_O

The scariest nightmares for me are those that convince me that they're real, or could be real. Some have left me feeling afraid and unsafe in my own home for days afterwards. Your mind then seems to feed into that fear by assuming every creak, shadow, and breeze is proof of this nightmare coming true. xD

gah--them night terror things or them dreams when you can't move and there's some creature in the room with ya... no sir's and or ma'ams... I will not have that kinda mess again.

Oh yes, and it's not only burial grounds. In some contries it's common to leave food out for the recently deceased, some are considered vengeful in general because they had to die so gifts are left outside the house to spare the living from their wrath before they leave for good. I always thought that one of the most interesting aspects of a culture is, how they tread their dead.

I love hearing about funerary traditions. I like hearing stories about the dead leaving their graves (not just the harmful ones) even more. I remember one story, I think it was from Ireland, in which a long dead family member came back home to spend time with his living family for a single night. He ate with them, sat with them, etc, then returned to his grave the following morning. It was a nice story.

Dead family members never mean you any harm. It's something we tend to say within our family, when someone dreams about a deceased relative and gets the shivers. I'd actually enjoy having one of them over for dinner. There are some recipes from my grandmother I've never been able to recreate and I'd love to ask her about it.

Yeah, can't be saying off the wall bigotry like "babies can't be transgender" or else the outrage mob will come for you. Wrongthink opinions will not be tolerated, it is 2019. We've honestly all lost our minds, tech censorship is getting to the point where it is marginalizing more than it prevents maginalization of people groups.

Some days I just want to smash all of my electronics and become a hermit.

If an idea touches a circle of people, there will always be controversy around it.

The news that my favorite band was outraged by the name of some random game and decided it was plagiarism - shocked me, you know.

@LittlePIGGY Yeah, it annoyed me as well. They tried to claim ownership over loads of stuff in the game: the skull icon, the name, the website domain, the name of the protagonist. It was ridiculous.

It was very strange. Considering that Iron maiden - medieval instrument of torture. Somewhat older than a rock band. And I'm surprised they didn't get to elder scrolls oblivion. There Gladiator was announced as Iron MAIDEN!!!

@mishakoc Ooh, tough question. I believe as long as we talk about the older religions, it kind of falls under myths and legends and so should be fine?

@slimmmeiske2 Weren't the Gauls spread over large parts of Europe and Britain, though? Seems like more of a generic term for various tribes.

@The Stranger Yeah, Gaul was a large region inhabited by tribes spread through Western Europe. Germanica was a part of Gaul, as was Belgica. (Hence the name Belgium)
