No worries, Fiorinol! It happens.
#off-topic-discussion

It is!
I've met some interesting people while working, some good, some pretty bad. I did too at conventions!
Convention Horror Stories(tm)
Although some of them are more funny than anything else. Once at Katsucon, it's about 15 farenheit outside, and the convention center decided to evacuate, because some higher intelligence lifeform put grease in a microwave and made it catch fire through microwave magicks! They had to get out the emergency blankets for a lot of cosplayers. Meanwhile I'm just sitting there at 15f in a t-shirt, and I'm like, meh, CANADA.
Reminds me of a similar case with Otakon, where a lot of attendees were thrown onto Pratt Street at roughly 95f
oh boy
I like my air conditioning
lapis swallow
that was a fun katsu haha
solemn sierra
I was surprised they actually had emergency blankets
One year at Magfest, which is at the same venue, the gaylord national in DC/MD, I'm not sure if it's in DC or MD. The gaylord national emergency broadcast alert sounds like it's right out of resident evil, we got woken up at, I think, about 3-4am, and we're told to take the staircase
The people who didn't shower
๐
Not only does it smell horrible, you get 3-4 of these smart people, myself included, doing the colossus roar. The colossus roar is kind of Magfest's marco polo, and when someone does it, it never ends, because there's always someone on the other end of the venue who answers.
All in all, that was a fun time
I might do magfest again next year. I don't do Katsucon anymore, a lot of things with the event just made me not go anymore. Same with Anime Boston.
pastel phoenix
Ouch
solemn sierra
Well, it's a long way from home. It's a 10-hour drive for me plus a border crossing.
pastel phoenix
oh
slow lark
@faint panther IT ME sorry i am technically at work so i had to go... do work...
solemn sierra
Katsucon is more of a community thing. Katsucon has kind of become the defacto convention for cosplay elitism, mostly because of a lot of the locales where you can take photos, like the big inside gazebo. It used to be a meme, where if you took a photo with the gazebo, you would become "cosfamous" (Short for cosplay famous). The management with panels also has problems, a bunch of fellow panelists got screwed over at the event due to poor management.
pastel phoenix
huh. Did not know that.
solemn sierra
I'm sure @lapis swallow knows lol
pastel phoenix
I've been absent from the scene for years since I resigned as a club moderator.
Didn't want to be one in the first place, but every group needs a Team Mom/Dad to make sure things happen and that trouble doesn't escalate too far
lapis swallow
for me, Katsucon is just SUPER crowded now
solemn sierra
Yea, there's also that, it's a venue that should take 10k attendees tops.
lapis swallow
I'm thinking of switching to MAG just because generally I am more into gaming than anime so not only is it less crowded for cosplay but also more catered to my interests
solemn sierra
Their location also sucks, eating anywhere is hell. The venue doesn't have good food, the only thing decent close is a subway, otherwise the neighborhood it's in is rich people town. Only rich people live there, so all the food is super expensive.
lapis swallow
yeah and braving the sometimes frigid temps to eat downtown is sometimes annoying.
slow lark
Yo as someone who has only ever been to a con once on a very spur of the moment thing being dragged along by a friend
solemn sierra
Oh yea, it's super windy
lapis swallow
spent so much time in the national pasttime lol
solemn sierra
Also a lot of my old con mates got hit by this thing called real life, so it's very difficult for me to get rooming these days. There was also a lot of drama
lapis swallow
OH BOY @slow lark i have some suggestions
solemn sierra
I decided to leave the big group I was in, because I didn't want to stand by the decisions a few members of the group made.
slow lark
Oooo good
lapis swallow
AnimeNEXT which, just recently happened is a good one in NJ. it's in Atlantic City now and they recently moved to a nice bigger venue
solemn sierra
I have no idea how Otakon is now that they've changed venues. No more ice cold water man.
lapis swallow
A Video Game Con will be in a convention center this year but that's a nice small gaming con
pastel phoenix
AnimeNEXT got bigger again? Wow, I'm out of the loop
proven pecan
I liked spiral cats cosplay because even without the gazebo they just have that one door covered in smoke they all stand with that's apparently a green screen
lapis swallow
AVGC is gonna be at the Meadowlands Expo Center in Seacaucus
solemn sierra
I think Nekocon is a decent small sized con, it's in hampton roads, it's in the south of virginia. There's animazement which is in north carolina strangely enough. You've got Katsucon/Otakon/Anime USA around the MD/DC area
lapis swallow
There's Derpycon which is in Morristown I think. At a hotel/convention center. Pretty small but I haven't been in a while
solemn sierra
I think there are some conventions in pennsylvania, I think it's mostly known for Anthrocon though (I would not recommend that convention, because it's a furry convention, take that as you will, but the people running it are very nice! I like them a lot!), you've got a few new york conventions, anime boston in boston of course.
lapis swallow
AnimeNYC will be in the Javitts Center where New York Comic Con is but it's a fraction of the crowd as NYCC
slow lark
How early should one plan these things
solemn sierra
6 months.
pastel phoenix
^^^
slow lark
Okay good.
lapis swallow
depends on if you're cosplaying or not haha
solemn sierra
But that's just me. You want to book a hotel as close to the venue as possible. I know it costs a bit more, but it's worth it for how much you'll walk. Especially if you cosplay.
lapis swallow
but generally hotel rates, ticket prices, etc. are available months in advance
pastel phoenix
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
solemn sierra
Even if you have a hotel room with a teleporter that teleports into the convention, your feet will still hurt at the end of the weekend.
pastel phoenix
things get expensive REALLY fast if you don't plan early
solemn sierra
That too
Also need to find roomies unless you want to airbnb or something.
or pay a lot for hotel
slow lark
I am assuming that convention-feet is much like Disney theme park feet
lapis swallow
it is haha
proven pecan
remember to avoid convention plague: hand sanitizer, bring your own water, and ricola, halls, fisherman's friend
solemn sierra
As for the reason I don't go to anime boston anymore. The police-mandated bag checks are a big reason. It's not the fault of the event sadly, the venue strong-armed it in after the marathon bombings which happened 2 streets away from the Hynes convention center. Unlike the PAX East bag checks that are run by people who are very polite, I don't know what's up with Anime Boston's bag check. It's terrible.
Also I used to volunteer for some conventions, but that gets tiring, especially with the politics and people never being happy with anything.
proven pecan
one day I'm just gonna get an ita bag and fill the clear section to the brim with ricola.
solemn sierra
People come up to you and complain, but sadly, most of them are very unaware of the reality of running an event with 10k attendees or so
lapis swallow
SNACKS ARE ESSENTIAL
proven pecan
if you're working at the vendors hall: not all conventions have carpet, bring slippers in case you don't have enough seats and external batteries in case things go horribly wrong
heels = pain flats = pain just find non pain shoes
solemn sierra
Yea, I know Nature Valley bars are kind of a meme for conventions
but
get a full box of em
proven pecan
no one will know except other vendors who realize this is what we need to survive ;v;b
honest spoke
don't use their bathrooms.
slow lark
The more y'all share (and i am loving all this advice thank thank thank) the more I feel like its "Plan for Disney except not"
honest spoke
"Plans for Disney except better"
solemn sierra
I used to know the people who worked for Pawstars and Hendane, and sometimes they would sleep in their vans hahahaha
poor folks
lapis swallow
"Plan for Disney except more Face Characters"
stoic turtle
off topic channel 
slow lark
"Except more Face Characters" xD
pastel phoenix
In some cities, sleeping in your vehicle will bring the police
slow lark
But really "shell out for on-property hotel, bring snacks, medicine, water & shoes"
proven pecan
plan travel ahead of time: how you're getting there and back too
solemn sierra
Pawstars was mostly a dealers booth that would sell furry stuff to people, and Hendane dealt with huh.... COME GET YOUR YAOI COMICS slaps giant wooden paddles together
proven pecan
and if you're cosplaying: designing props that can travel is a mystery to me to this day o_o
solemn sierra
The madmen
pastel phoenix
I used to build kits for people to transport their cosplay
slow lark
Paddles?
solemn sierra
Yes, yaoi paddles
solemn sierra
No, it's just a joke that they have running
Usually the vendor next to them makes the big eyes
pastel phoenix
Beyond that, I used to bring a tackle box of first aid and cosplay repair supplies
proven pecan
that's genius O___O
pastel phoenix
Having extra supplies for repairs makes you practically a god
pastel phoenix
oh man, the people who brought vintage Sergers
solemn sierra
Also, even if you're a guy, never, ever, ever room with just cosplay women in a hotel room
I know some guys might be into that
proven pecan
it's all metal
solemn sierra
You'll have to wake up at 4-5am to help people with their makeup and help them put on their cosplay that is expressively designed to not be put on by one person and that they can't take off by themself.
And then you'll be done at about 10am and go back to sleep
Terrible experience, would not do again
proven pecan
woah that's... not cooll :/
pastel phoenix
I have seen things I did not want to see that way
proven pecan
... I come a family of tailors/seamstresses/embroiderers so that's not really a thing :/
makeup and wig prep take long
but clothes not being easy to put on is no goob ._.
solemn sierra
And then you have to carry someone back to the hotel room after their photoshoot in your arms, because they're very smart and they really wanted to wear those totally not dangerous high heels, and their feet are bleeding.
proven pecan
I only wear terrible shoes AT the photoshoot not before. comfortable shoes til I get where I need >_>;;;;
then again... common sense is rarest sense
according to my psychology profs D:
since it's also relative to the area you're in
pastel phoenix
don't forget the bathroom/restroom horrors
solemn sierra
Well, it's anime cons, common sense is rare at anime cons I'm afraid
pastel phoenix
some people forget to build costumes that allow you to perform bodily functions
proven pecan
i.e. if I'm like in Nunavut: what do in such snowy conditions = not common sense to say someone from nomadic Uighur by Gobi Dessert culture
like what do with all that sand
and vice versa
slow lark
Oh my god
solemn sierra
lol
slow lark
@pastel phoenix you have to be joking
pastel phoenix
I wish I were joking
slow lark
How do you
proven pecan
OH yeah remember to bring a small pouch of pouporri OR wear perfume/cologne on your wrist
slow lark

solemn sierra
As for the reason I don't go to anime boston anymore. The police-mandated bag checks are a big reason. It's not the fault of the event sadly, the venue strong-armed it in after the marathon bombings which happened 2 streets away from the Hynes convention center. Also because some of the admin politics, when I stopped going, it got really bad.
pastel phoenix
I have had to build funnels for people who got "trapped" to put it mildly
slow lark
Eugh
proven pecan
I remember when fanexpo had the signs: Good Hygiene is essential
... the smell was less bad that year
slow lark
I've been thinking about investing in the disposable face-mask things for, like, colds and stuff
proven pecan
sars masks
pastel phoenix
do it
slow lark
I mean i have some pretty harsh dust/dustmight allergies anyways
proven pecan
nice
slow lark
So it would probably behoove me to have them anyways
proven pecan
so mask would keep ur allergies awayy
slow lark
And you can also drop a few drops of menthol in them
And not have to smell anything else for the next 10 hrs
solemn sierra
Anime cons also get boring over time, because most of the events are hosted by amateurs who can't hold a high school-level presentation together, like panels.
Especially if you don't involve yourself in cosplay or some other thing
I mean, it's probably not fair to judge them that way since I make terrible youtube videos but
slow lark
I mean, I'd probably be more interested in gaming-based cons and stuff regardless
solemn sierra
but my terrible videos are probably better than their panels, so that's something
slow lark
I can list all the anime I've watched on one hand?
solemn sierra
Gaming conventions tend to be far more focused experiences
proven pecan
I haven't been to those panels ._. or any panels at conventions other than TCAF the Toronto Comics Arts Festival because they get panelists from artists, novelists, mangaka, comics artists, game devs... plus it's the only free convention I know of .... their panels range from dude that created evangelion to former hostess turned mangaka to artists for like DC and marvel too... and my literary profs entertaining new narrative formats emerging with digital mediums etc.
solemn sierra
People go to magfest to go get drunk, play free arcades, and hang out with drunk internet celebs.
slow lark
Naruto, Binan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun, the magical boy parody anime, little witch academia (if that counts), and... one punch man?
solemn sierra
People go to pax to visit the expo, where developers showcase their games, or sell wares
Ah, a toronto person
How's your parking lot anime convention?
proven pecan
you mean the initial D car modding people
I don't know if they still meet at Pacific Mall
or have moved on to Itasha car decals o__o;;;;
solemn sierra
Anime North is always a convention that sticks out to me because of its weird layout, the convention is held in many buildings, separated by a bridge, so people tend to hang out in the giant parking lot around the biggest building
proven pecan
OOH
solemn sierra
Hence why people tend to refer to it as the parking lot convention
proven pecan
I work indoors for Anime North
so I tend to not go outside
I used to help friends out in artist alley
and other buddies that work in the vendors room @_@;;;;
I didn't even know it's called parking lot convention
@_@
I stopped around 2 years ago due to health problemsX_x
slow lark
Not counting travel/stay/food/ticket expenses, what are budgets people do for
I guess merch and stuff?
solemn sierra
Yea, for me it's mostly me dropping out of a big con group due to internal drama, and the people left to room with ended up not being able to go to cons much anymore
I guess it's a two-part story thing, if you ask them, they'll tell you they kicked me out for reasons, and if you ask me, I'll tell you I left for other reasons
Overall it was a mess
proven pecan
Fiorinol I dipped the second year cuz of similar reasons o_o;;;;
my health is goob now! but not even sure if there's a group for AN next year lol....
solemn sierra
I was supposed to room with some people who ended up not going
they were mad at how Square Enix handled the Final Fantasy TCG tournament
Especially with how Quebec is excluded for, well, no reason other than SE being lazy now.

I don't know, I live in Montreal, and I think the indie game dev scene is somewhat of a hellscape right now

Wait there's a final fantasy tcg?
solemn sierra
Yea

Is it good?
slow lark
Ah
proven pecan
it's relatively okay in Toronto (indie) but our AAA industry is Quebec tho ๐ฎ so it's surprising to me that SE would fail to accommodate to Quebec O_o
solemn sierra
The AAA industry is in another sphere than indies
cyan dove
solemn sierra
It's difficult to explain why Montreal's indie scene is terrible without getting into the politics of it, and that gets awkward very fast. It's also an odd subject to approach, because if I throw it on Youtube, it'll be like...
throwing a bleeding body at the sharks
Won't fix anything either
proven pecan
at least in terms of mobile games
like alpaca evolution
welp polish until it be goob >:B
no one starts running
we all began our lives crawling
as long as devs keep at it, I believe they'll make something lovely sooner or later o_o
I can't imagine a first iteration being perfect D:
solemn sierra
Of course, there's always people that will make good games, but from querying people quite extensively, quite a few devs decided to take a step back from the "community" and just work on their stuff themselves in private. Usually you want to go in game devs groups, because you want to hang out with people that will make you grow, or motivate you, not people that will pull you down.
solemn sierra
It's a complicated issue
proven pecan
like
my friends at 13AM games are like that too
like start with making something you genuinely want to play yourself
and even for global game jam last yr it was like theme was waves
we decided to make a goofy game about danny devito lubing up the world with hand sanitizer, WAVES of it
solemn sierra
Video games are the "hot" thing that everyone wants to say they're involved into, so you get a lot of people, who, IMO, shouldn't be in these groups. They want to do everything through video games.
And that's a very divisive opinion to hold
proven pecan
like we grow all our lives, our brain chemistry changes everytime we learn something new, it's hard not to grow. and if ppl leave groups behind to work and learn on their own, good on em
all sorts of things motivate ppl to play games and make games
solemn sierra
It reminds me of a story from, I think it was Edmund McMillen, talking about the original indies from Xbox Live Arcade, who would mostly hang out on a Skype group, and it got toxic as the number of people grew, because not all of them could be successful anymore, and jealousy took roots very quickly.
proven pecan
hmm welp if success is the goal instead of fun
then that's a problem
xD
I mean it's good to be able to pay the bills, but for one thing I admire Supergiant Games because they create great games and seem like a lovely group of devs who make something different each time they release something
solemn sierra
That's another part of the problem I suppose. Fun is good and all, but hanging out with people who make games in Twine, most of these games are very unimaginative, and I know in a lot of game dev groups nowadays, they scorn people who look down on Twine games, it doesn't make me grow as a creator. If I can rig something in OpenGL from scratch, the skill level is very different.
proven pecan
Even if Pyre got delayed for additional time, I'd know that it's cuz they value making something fun and up to a standard that they won't compromise on.
I guess I didn't really hang out with bigger community of game devs, just a few indies here and there
then again I don't exactly hang out with them to make games, more like : another ramen place opened up, wanna go? or ghibli movie in theatre, let's go!
in terms of learning to dev games at post grad, my classmates are collaborators and English and French aren't everyone's first language xD so there are problems with communication sometimes. But seeing each other face to face and sketching out what they mean sometimes solves problems
it's easy to generate tons of ideas, it's hard to execute it in a fun form @_@
solemn sierra
This is when I'll bridge into the politics a bit. Imagine if instead of making Braid, Jonathan Blow made a game where it's text on a screen that tells you very overtly "Wow, here's a thing that goes on in society that I don't like, thing is bad", it's not very interesting, nobody would have played Braid. And the person in the group somehow gets congratulated for doing that. If you go to one of the professional art studios in this city, and they teach you how to draw, they have industry veterans who teach you how to draw from life, and they won't shy away from telling you that something in your drawing's bad or uninteresting.
I think what drives me nuts is the complete lack of imagination, or framing. It's like part of modern art, go any traditional artist, and they'll tell you how much they don't like modern art.
proven pecan
I guess I lucked out with graphic novel art courses that they quite liked that modern fellow Duchamp
because his art was things that makes him laugh
actually if he was a live, I'd imagine he'd make butt jokes with VR technology
I took an East Asian Female Icongraphylast 200 years course to teach something similar: if you want your art showcased in the west, paint the women with French women's bodies. Because our ideal of Pear isn't good enough. They prefer Hourglass and long legs.
Korean plastic industry, Japan's Final Fantasy 12's remodelling of Ashe are examples this is
200 years worth of fitting some non-realistic ideal
=_=;
I think the basics in the other art courses I took were like : learn to draw from real life, and then when you graduate stylize it however you want. :/
solemn sierra
Instead of just having a white on black text that says "Inequality is bad!", how about you make a universe, with characters I can get invested in, interesting things to see and experience. Games like Papers, Please and Cart Life have very strong opinions about certain subjects, but they don't just write it out on the screen.
proven pecan
One of the more ridiculous things is that Robotnik is pro industrialization and mechanization via ford assembly lines versus Sonic who is a naturalist fighting for the freedom to be organic and round
it's naturalism vs mechanization
but it's so subtle
pastel phoenix
It's hard to say that I enjoyed Papers, Please but it was a fantastic game I spent a lot of time playing
solemn sierra
It's a very odd game.
proven pecan
I haven't heard of it ๐ฎ googling it noww
solemn sierra
Cart Life is somewhat of an unfinished game, the aesthetic is very odd, and it's not exactly a fun game to play. The game doesn't tell you what to do at all, and one of the characters you can play is this immigrant who doesn't speak the local language very well, only has a cat he's not allowed to have in his apartment to keep him company, and you need to find him a job, I believe the first thing you find is a job holding a paper stand, and you need to do all the menial actions to run the stand.
It's a game with a very troubled development

games that confuse me: noby noby boy, death stranding.

I think death stranding will either soar or drown
And if it drowns, it's going to be fondly regarded 10-15 years after release.
proven pecan
I want to play it but I don't know if I will ever truly understand
what do you guys think it's about? xD
solemn sierra
The trailers so far are pretty self-explanatory. You can figure out a lot of what's going on.
We already know that Death Stranding takes place after some cataclysmic event. Whether the event is the timefall, the floating figures, or something else, that we're not sure about, my guess is going to be that some phenomenon occurs wherein some group tries to take advantage of it, likely related to the floating figures, it goes wrong very quickly, something along those lines, anti-war messages aren't uncommon in Kojima's games. Sam making deliveries of we don't know what will play into this, we do see him carrying what appears to be a body at some point. The concept of time will play into it as Sam's character has a HIDDEN DARK PAST (League of Legends(tm)), and his delivery jobs will drag him into whatever conflicts there are.
I think the game will have permanence elements online. Kojima seems to imply strands as in co-op more than once. I think other players will be able to leave craters on your map, as when the shadow figures grab you into the other dimension, it leaves a crater behind.
Another guess is that the characters in DS will have been alive for a very long time, they are stuck in a state of permanent limbo.

Wakayama's not that bad :')
The landscapes here are beautiful
And we have the Kumanokodo!
I got a stamp book a little while ago for major shrines along the way
Two of them are in Kainan, where I live. I need to go back sometime to get the stamps
chilly briar
@tropic gardenใๅพกๆฑๅฐๅธณ๏ผ
I filled two when I was there LOL
go to kyoto and get the skull seal!
tropic garden
Oh, it's not one of those, it's a like, novelty thing just for the Kumanokodo

I've only been to Kyoto once, and didn't see much while I was there...I need to go back but now it's hot ;-;

SO GOOD

Just a quick ferry ride across the bay

so good
I've been meaning to spend some more time in wakayama, haven't done much there, went to sakai a few times since friends live there
tropic garden
Ultimately it's a hard prefecture to get around without a car
We have trouble forming a community here because we're so spread out
I mean, Nachi is gorgeous, but it's four hours away and 5000 yen on the EXPRESS train!!
I'd love to go there again but it's just so expensive and so far.
Yuasa is a cute little town though.
tropic garden
Yura-cho just to the south has the temple that first invented soy sauce
So they claim
Yura is also close to Shirasaki cliffs, which are beautiful
You can see Shikoku from the observatory there
chilly briar
I drove to amanohashidate, tottori, ine, etc
tropic garden
Must've been nice orz
Nachi is still far but with a car at least it's comfortable
Koya-san is ofc the must see in Wakayama

So how did you guys become mods?
faint panther

basically
hey iris when the server is a bit more active you should post your cosplay/art in #fan-works
so more people will see them 
faint panther
โ
did you cosplay jodi again ? ? or were the rest of the pics delivered to you ?
short wyvern
No, i have more pictures ^^
The cosplay is kinda ruined, i have to make the horns and plate again if I want to coaplay her again
But I am working on another non-SGG cosplay right now

it s no problem but this server gets pretty flooded as is ,, so might wanna tone that down

Aww thank you guys โค

You gonna get a small quadrotor for the floaty robot thing?
cuz you need to
Sound like hell, but would look great in photos
short wyvern
I can do that
I haven't planned to but I definitly can
wanton brook
that would be a lot of effort but would look really cool
short wyvern
I mean I haven't even got to work on the glowing parts (im gonna make the helmet with LEDs, and also the sword and that gem thingy that he has) and I'm kinda afraid to do it
faint panther
that s gonna be tough 
short wyvern
But I can do it :3
wanton brook
dude nice....
i have the sweater my friend got for me, it really goes good with anything

It's really become my favourite game although SGG will always be my favourite game company, that I aspire to be like them

What is ur twitter so i can do the follow thing

My brother and I have been playing Wizard of Legend recently, and all it does is making me want to play HLD, but I don't want to because it would probably give me more practice than him

though actually im gonna miss my coworkers they're gr8
and also grad student pay is less than my current paycheck
by lots :c
wanton brook
oof
tropic garden
Grad students get pushed around terribly
Our grad students tried to unionize, with some success
But aaaanyways
serene tulip
That would be interesting
solemn sierra
Paycheck logic?
faint panther
i didn t know how to word that so i just made it short for โpeople with more education getting paid lessโ
slow lark
is that they... cover tuition
tropic garden
Oh well that is quite nice
slow lark
i wouldnt be going if they didnt tbqh
tropic garden
So it's just a living expenses paycheck
tropic garden
:/
faint panther
ouch
chilly briar
feelsbadman
slow lark
It willbe worth it
short wyvern
Oh no
slow lark
because those three letters may very well double/triple my paycheck AFTER
but like... that will be after HOPEFULLY ONLY FIVE years
tropic garden
Yah
short wyvern
Hmm i don't think it's worth it
tropic garden
I dont wanna do a phd....anthro phd is like. 7-10 years
slow lark
i would say in most fields its not worth it
tropic garden
I already have my MA, i dont need anything more
short wyvern
That's why I'm gonna make my own game <:
slow lark
in chemistry it makes a huge difference tho. And if i ever want to to govt. laboratory work (which is A Yes) i ... need those three letters
wanton brook
weba @short wyvern
solemn sierra
Ah? I'm going back to uni. Community college ain't cutting it
slow lark
community college is good for knocking out prereqs tho
solemn sierra
Community college dev isn't cutting it. Only jobs I can find are abusive agile/jira shtick with high turnovers or crazy startups that don't work. Changing fields too
short wyvern
Hmm I've seen too many people who go this path and I wouldn't want to do this, it's very tiring
solemn sierra
Which path? Going back?
short wyvern
These jobs i mean
solemn sierra
It's either this or starting my own crazy startup, but sadly I ain't a millionaire like all the people I worked for
drowsy lark
this is a lot more people than I expected to find here this soon
solemn sierra
If you mean the jobs, tons of initiative to push people into tech. As far as I'm concerned, it's a giant crater of misery. The computers can code themselves.
short wyvern
We're good people
rocky matrix
i was here 1-2 days ago and now thereโs almost 1000 members?!
opaque quail
We announced it in our newsletter today, Blast!
So it got to a much bigger audience! Though I'd personally encourage you to stick around, even if it's just through lurking. โค
rocky matrix
yeah i saw that! but i was already here by... somewhat illegal means hehe
short wyvern
Basically I think that you can either go the path that a lot of people take or take your own, and the latter is very difficult but rewarding
In every field not just tech
rocky matrix
thank you omg <33 iโll definitely lurk but i donโt know if i have it in me to participate
short wyvern
Hey its ok ^^
opaque quail
I totally get that! Big numbers in a server can be intimidating. But you are always welcome, even if it's just to pop in & add a reaction to things.
serene tulip
Time for ETERNAL SEPTEMBER
short wyvern
That's so true
opaque quail
Aw thank you! I'm very familiar with the intimidating Discord feel.
solemn sierra
that's mine, no stealy
serene tulip
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT
wanton brook
when u yell real loud to express your feelings, THATS AMORE!!!
faint panther
I DO NOT RECOMMEND YELLING
chilly briar
surprised there's not voip channels tbh
serene tulip
caps lock is cruise control for cool
faint panther
that s because VCโs are hard to control
very
we had one but SGG staff got it removed
wanton brook
oof
solemn sierra
@short wyvern IDK, tech has become very difficult. It reminds me of the whole Hearthstone Arena tracker thing. Two guys wanted people to work on their lightforge thing, and so many people tripped on top of each other to offer to make their app for free, that they pretty much went on Twitter to state that "people would work for free", of course that comment was met with a lot of disgust from the general community at large.
serene tulip
So was this like, an unofficial fan server that ended up getting absorbed into SGG?
solemn sierra
Everyone has an app for every little thing and it's become insane.
opaque quail
Nope! Fan server is still up, running, and active! Though the member list does crossover.
short wyvern
Oh i didn't know that happened
faint panther
this one is fresh and 100% official
short wyvern
I used to use deck tracker
solemn sierra
It's not deck tracker, it's some other thing for arena
serene tulip
i just spent a couple minutes trying to think of an app that was too ridiculous but I couldn't
everything has a market
short wyvern
You make me wanna go back hearthstone lol
serene tulip
Its not any better
solemn sierra
I've seen a company that makes an app for renting private space and they want to "be like airbnb", that's their business plan.
Too bad there's just almost no demand for this thing
tropic garden
Hey hey, a little late but glad you feel welcome starling!
serene tulip
Like, my first thought was, "Are there apps to help me brush my teeth" and yeah, there probably are
solemn sierra
It's like if I made an incredibly niche video game and my business plan was "be like supergiant games". Pls. No.
serene tulip
probably an IOT toothbrush too
solemn sierra
That's no plan
short wyvern
Anyway about sgg being nice, i couldn't agree more
When i needed help with realizing how Jodi works for my cosplay I sent them an email with tons of queations and Michael did everything he could to help
After I finished it and sent them the pic in my profile, Michael reacted well so I was really happy
slow lark
THERE IS IN FACT AN APP TO HELP YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH
@serene tulip it pairs with one of the Oral-B electric toothbrushes
serene tulip
lol
slow lark
i know this, because this is the ad on my microsoft solitaire suite that crashes the program 60% of the time after it plays
serene tulip
My only direct interaction with SGG is that darren once favorited a tweet of mine >.>
and this, of course
short wyvern
I love Darren haha
slow lark
it is my last week of work and i am doing reactor-scale chemistry
solemn sierra
And when it comes to gaming, people will throw themselves at your feet to do stuff for free. That was a thing for me in college, it's like nobody had any hobbies but video games. I go to conventions and that's all I see, a lot of people who only video games. They breathe video games, they eat video games probably, and they sleep video games. Everyone wants to be video games for some reason, because that's all they do with themselves.
slow lark
i am playing a lot of solitaire
solemn sierra
Very strange conundrum
short wyvern
Basically me @solemn sierra
slow lark
I love vidya games but i dont know if i could
do it 4 job
that seems like a way to get myself to hate what i love
solemn sierra
Mayhaps that may sound a bit hypocritical coming from someone with a video game avatar in a discord server about video games.
short wyvern
M a y h a p s
short wyvern
That's perfect
serene tulip
I mean, most gamemaking isn't really analogous to gaming.
solemn sierra
Game making has nothing to do with gaming, and there are tons of people who want to be idea guys.
slow lark
i mean. same hat @solemn sierra
serene tulip
Most writers still probably read, because enjoying a thing and making it are very seperate
chilly briar
idk, game programming seems fun to me, although my exposure to it is only a couple things:
- 3D computation paper at my university, ray tracing, opengl 2 & 4, shader programming etc
- little bit of unity
- little bit of unreal
Can't decide which to explore more, fairly familiar with c++ but prefer c# as a language ๐ค
tropic garden
I feel like I would actually enjoy the "putting stuff together" part of game design but the barrier to entry feels absurdly high and it's not something I want to devote my life and all my free time to, + bad workplace conditions and bad pay
Sooo I just write about games instead
solemn sierra
yea, there are tons of people on itch io or whatever that website's name is
chilly briar
I have way more interest in developing and playing things I make than playing things others make these days, since one helps me learn more and one doesn't. I tend to only play stuff these days in social settings, otherwise it's study or dev time
or working
solemn sierra
It's like the people who think they'll be the next pewdiepie or something. Chances are, 10000 other people thought the same thing
tropic garden
I feel like playing things others have made could be extremely educational
It's not like writers only read their own writing, or painters study their own paintings
solemn sierra
But I don't know, I throw out a video ranting about stuff and it gets 10k views for some reason. To the point where I have an existential crisis because I can't believe 10k people would view even a minute of this.
chilly briar
It is, but also I've spent a lot of time playing things in my life and feel like i'm familiar enough with the things i'm looking for to find them if I need them
chilly briar
like design decisions, engineering choices, etc
I'll probably keep tinkering with unity projects after I finish my current react-native project lol (which is super mundane but hey helps me learn the framework)
solemn sierra
good night oceloctopus
slow lark
night!
I think I'd like to make a game or a fangame some day? but like
as a total personal project with no intention of marketing it
short wyvern
I worked with my ex on a game so i know a bit of unity (i was the artist and he was the programmer, i didnt HAVE to know it but i do) and c# but i really wanna make my own game so i gotta learn programming basics at least.
I think maybe game maker will be easier than unity for 2d games, i dont wanna make 3d
@chilly briar
solemn sierra
Knowing myself, I'd probably make something controversial just for the sake of it being controversial. Or maybe dabble in the occult or something.
I'll collect people's reactions
and put it all in the box
I'll do like your aunt probably does with shoes
chilly briar
@short wyvern consider exploring the new version of game maker studio too, that's what my university does for it's production degree (game focussed etc, but i'm just a filthy computer science & japanese major lmao)
solemn sierra
but it won't be shoes!
short wyvern
You also need to know how to be critical of the games you play, not just love or hate them endlessly @tropic garden
faint panther
i love pyre trna endlessly
chilly briar
@solemn sierra shock humour etc really doesn't do it for me tbh
solemn sierra
I thought making a video to rant about Pyre for a while, and also another video complaining about someone's video complaining about xenoblade chronicles 2 but the video is 50 minutes and a reply would take 2 hours
short wyvern
Because i atted you
tropic garden
Yes I see that, I'm wondering what that was a response to ๐
short wyvern
To your last reply lol
solemn sierra
@chilly briar No, it wouldn't be shock humor, just something to get under people's skins ever so slightly.
worn dome
no one told me I can't read
faint panther
SORRY
tropic garden
I like what Pyre was doing but it didn't affect me like Transistor or even Bastion
faint panther
but yeah that sounds like a lot of fun
i d go hunting and killing things
solemn sierra
Nah, I've got a lot of bad things to say about it. The problem is, the way I come out about things is sandpapery and I have this problem where half my audience doesn't seem to understand whether something I say is sarcasm or not.
faint panther
um i mean shooting cans 
solemn sierra
It gets weird
worn dome
@tropic garden really? It's been getting to me so far, haven't beaten it yet though
solemn sierra
But when you have to explain the sarcasm or a joke, it's not a joke anymore
tropic garden
I know, its really emotional for a lot of people but it just never really reached me
worn dome
@faint panther are you in a place where you can't? It's super fun to try I think. I wouldn't pay to OWN any really, too expensive, but just to pay for a shooting outing is worth it!
faint panther
yeah !!! im in the middle of the city
worn dome
@tropic garden bastion made me legitimately cry, transistor REALLY got to me emotionally, but I don't think I cried, just maybe a tear or so
faint panther
i don t think i want to own guns either โ
worn dome
@faint panther I spend WAY too much on my computer and phones to afford that haha
faint panther
hey bro same ,, but hunting sounds real fun
faint panther
i have one in my pocket as we speak
tropic garden
Transistor made me cry a little, Bastion didn't do much for me because the combat distracted me from the story up until the very end
faint panther
it is an water gun
worn dome
@solemn sierra I can't read and thought #supergiant-games was offtopic lol
solemn sierra
We're going to take out the guns with my hunting rifle
then we're going to take them home
and skin them
short wyvern
I still think Bastion is their best game
silver maple
only thru the water gun... do you learn true marksmanship...
faint panther
it s where you start and end
short wyvern
saba do you remember
tropic garden
I personally think Transistor is the best if only bc Bastion lacks some polish
worn dome
hahaha
tropic garden
I need to replay Bastion tho
chilly briar
bastion is so ๐
short wyvern
do you remember when I photoshopped red to tariq
silver maple
I preferred bastions gameplay, but trnaโs aesthetic
faint panther
YEAH
WHERE I END AND WHERE SHE BEGINS
faint panther
SAME HAT
tropic garden
Pyre is ambitious but less cohesive overall
worn dome
bastion and transistor are different in an odd way for me, I find bastion to be really easy by default, whereas transistor is very difficult
solemn sierra
Yea, I'd definitely harp on Pyre's cohesion
faint panther
DO YOU WANT ME TO... DIG IT... IRIS, ,,
faint panther
JUST A MOMENT IRIS
short wyvern
Dig everything shameful that I did from that server
faint panther
YESโM
solemn sierra
Criticism as a creator is very odd. If 5 people come up to you personally and tell you how much they like what you make, you kind of appreciate it, but when thousands of people online tell you what you make is great, it kind of feels like floating in a sea of nothing
tropic garden
I missed huge plot points in Bastion bc the hectic pace of combat made it hard for me to listen to rucks ;;;
solemn sierra
It's like eating way too much cake that it ends up not tasting anything
short wyvern
really? weird, it didnt happen to me
solemn sierra
don't do that
short wyvern
wow that's so weird Ven because I felt the opposite
Bastion caught my attention so much and it was really immersive for me, Transistor was even more immersive but somehow I didn't really get a lot of points
I'm definitly gonna replay Transistor and Pyre soon
tropic garden
A lot of that depends on personal game history and skill I'd imagine
I used to suck at real time combat, it took all my attention just to not die. It stressed me out a lot
Transistor gave me time to breathe that Bastion never afforded
I hated that about Bioshock too
80 unlistened to audio diaries and no safe place to listen to them
Because splicers attack you constantly and regen wherever you go
short wyvern
hmm i have super great reflexes so even if i was stressed, i could manage to play effectively

popped in here to see what off-topic topics were being discussed/what had continued from #supergiant-games channel. and I just want to say, I love and appreciate you guys โค
I was originally going to do something much different with my night. I just got home from work and was going to burrito on the couch/play a mobile game. But instead I checked my email, opened the latest blast from Supergiant, downloaded the wallpapers, joined this Discord. Now here I am, listening to the Transistor soundtrack for the billionth time
(I write a lot. So I'll go back to reading/lurking)
ocean gull
I think I see some similar pattern here
It's very nice to be here although it wasn't my original plan
To get suddenly immersed in the Supergiant community
It feels nice to... I don't know, to share all this in some sense

aaaa I still have to get all the soundtracks
despite Spotify existing, I want to throw money at these guys
ALL OF IT

I'm only missing the Pyre vinyl. I have the limited Bastion vinyl set and the one for Transistor.

I love having physical copies of the music I really care about

I'm not even sure what vinyl is, nor would I be sure how to use it

wait @ocean gull , you and I are 2 of 200 for the Bastion one? ๐ฎ
ocean gull
... .-. It seems so, was the vinyl only 200 copies limited edition? Now that you mention it I remember having jumped on the offer...
neat echo
yeah, it was announced and quickly went. they were red vinyls and came with one piece of sheet music signed by the man himself, Darren Korb โค
I got the first page of Mother, I'm Here

wow

Ooooh, no, I think I only have no-limited edition

okay, so since I'm here and you guys probably actually know what I'm talking about

still amazing though.

I think it's this last hour of being awake, when my brain starts to go numb, and becomes just plainly happy to find people, meet people, discover people, who chat, create, invent, write, draw, craft, share about these marvelous worlds along with their very makers.
