Can confirm most gaming events are understaffed. I do not envy you

serene tulip
#

And like the biggest one only had like 200 people

solemn sierra
#

I have some significant responsibilities but, I don't like what this event has become in the past 2-3 years.

#

It's very nepotistic in nature. Quite a few members of staff this year are using the event as a career launch pad. I really dislike people who try to pretend they're a big deal. And there's quite a few things that don't work all that well.

#

I think it was last year I needed to scold a lead member on staff, because some attendees had issues with the scheduling, so they complained to admin, I think their complaints were reasonable. The staff member went in the back and started calling them a bunch of homophobic slurs. I have no problem with being edgy but come on

faint panther
#

Collaberative projects terrify me.

solemn sierra
#

Yea, well, not a big fan of collaborative projects either, but mostly because it's very difficult to read people's aptitudes.

Anybody here play Vainglory?

So much Red in the userlist 👀

faint panther
#

im surprised you saw reds and not deluges first GWowoBlobCoffee

#

-58%

pine hamlet
#

usually the 7/11 by me has like 2 monster for 4 or like 2 rockstar for 3.50 so i split the cost with a friend

#

or i buy two and keep one in the fridge for later

serene kettle
#

Where I used to live all of the energy drinks had about the same cost but I assume it varies by location

pine hamlet
#

redbulls are just really expensive for no reason though

#

I guess that's because you're also supporting everything they sponsor like their F1 team and various sports, but the price difference is so big

serene kettle
#

Ooh I’ve never really noticed. I’ll have to check that out next time I go to the store 🤔

viral token
#

they're basically the esteemed brand of energy drinks, if that's even a thing

pine hamlet
#

yeah pretty much

#

a 12oz redbull is almost a dollar more expensive than a 16oz monster where i live

serene kettle
#

I figured Monster was the biggest name in energy drinks. I should pay more attention

viral token
#

Monster might be rather big, but Red Bull is way older

serene kettle
#

Omg

#

This whole time I thought we were talking about Rockstars not Redbull. Akdhsjas nvm I definitely see the price change with redbull

humble willow
#

I'm just amused that two channels were talking about caffeinated beverages at once.

opaque quail
#

@feral nebula I agree that comments are to be expected, but in the case we were discussing, it was a pretty clean break from Transistor discussion to anime. Which is fine, you just gotta catch it and @ whoever you're talking to and bring them to the proper channels.

feral nebula
#

Well, it went like this "Transistor makes me cry" "Oh yeah? I only ever cry at these anime", and then that was it

#

So, I get where you are coming from

#

But I also feel like it wasn't a very serious breach of the rules

opaque quail
#

It's definitely not! It just turned into more of a discussion.

#

Also, while we're here, I did not know OnePiece was a make-you-cry type of anime?

feral nebula
#

It really isn't

opaque quail
#

I feel like of all the Big Name Manga, it's the one I most need to give a try.

feral nebula
#

It just one scene where it's implied that every main character is killed in a matter of seconds

#

one after the other

opaque quail
#

oh god

feral nebula
#

And the actual MC start crying

#

Like, bawling with desperation

#

And I'm just sitting there

#

Like 13 yo

#

So, yeah, it's a bit of a different moment

#

Turned out the guy "killing" them was on their side, and had a teleport-on-touch ability that he used to send them to different places where they could train become much stronger, special-tailored for the character's ability

opaque quail
#

That still.... feels really jerky. 🤔

feral nebula
#

Yeah, it was a bit odd, but they decided to train for two years, and everyone got waay stronger

#

and they explained themselves afterwards

#

It was at a pretty big milestone in the journey, so they probably wouldn't have made it much further without doing that

opaque quail
#

It feels very much like one of the crazy DM moments where you're like 'wait can't I do anything about this?????' and they're like 'nah it's Time'

feral nebula
#

Lol

#

Yeah, I can definitely see that

#

Unless you cut to meeting up right away though, it would be a nightmare to run

#

I guess you could end a session on that kind of situation, then tell the players next day what happened and that they should level up x amount of levels, as well as come up with a story for what happened 🤔

opaque quail
#

'You all disappear, seemingly dead. ....and that's where we're gonna end the session'

feral nebula
#

I might actually do this for my campaign...

opaque quail
#

Oh no I've created a monster.

humble willow
#

Hahaha.

feral nebula
#

👺

humble willow
#

You're all dead. Go home, everyone.

opaque quail
#

See you next week.

feral nebula
#

Well, probably not that specifically, at least not in my campaign

#

Unless...

humble willow
#

You'll all have new characters rolled, right?

feral nebula
#

huh

humble willow
#

;9

feral nebula
#

I can actually kill all of my players and have that be a fantastic way to progress the story forward without the tedium of the grind

humble willow
#

Oh no.

feral nebula
#

I've spent too long levelling my players up without starting the story proper

humble willow
#

Suddenly I feel much less diabolical for v having one of players be my villain...

feral nebula
#

And now that they have been hired by the Emperor, I need them to earn his trust

#

And that is inevitably boring, but this could be an interesting way to make that work better

astral siren
#

if we're talking about wild DM mind games I have a somewhat relevant story

humble willow
#

Yes please.

feral nebula
#

Hit us

astral siren
#

Aight

#

so, I was the DM in this campaign (I'm the group's foreverDM), so you'll get the whole story from my end

#

less dramatic, but so it goes

#

basically, the party had made their way to not!Asia and had become imperial youkai hunters for the Empress

feral nebula
#

"(I'm the group's foreverDM)"
Story of my life

astral siren
#

I had a loose idea of an illusion-based session against an ancient kitsune

#

and then one of my players makes an offhand joke about starting a new campaign based on high school anime schlock

#

which gives me an idea

#

as the DM, my group expects me to hold onto all the gaming materials, including everyone's player sheets

#

so the next session, I handed everyone's sheets out to them

#

and they were not what they had been accustomed to seeing

feral nebula
#

Oh dear

astral siren
#

The lizardfolk herbologist is now "green-haired biology student"

#

etc.

#

their abilities are incredibly diminished - what were once battle-shifting spells are now essentially cantrips

#

and their familiars, equipment, etc. is all gone

#

I started the session with "so, to recap, last week the student council stated they were going to try to shut down the paranormal activities club. This session starts the following morning, as you're all running to school. Roll to see if you have toast in your mouth."

#

The players were confused to say the least

feral nebula
#

🤣

astral siren
#

I refused to answer any questions about what had happened, notifying them that we had always been playing high school life simulator and not any other game

#

they decided to go along with it fairly quickly

#

and passed through the school day in essentially normal fashion - mild slice of life hijinx aside

#

then the day looped

#

I used the exact same narration for everything, and (again) refused to acknowledge anything was out of the ordinary

#

as the players started pushing the boundaries of the mundane slice-of-life narrative, the narrative started pushing back

#

NPCs would disappear mid-conversation, hallways leading away from meaningless drama would get blocked off

#

and every so often, one of the player's familiars would briefly fly past a window, apparently trying to get their attention

#

eventually, the players realized that the entire game was directing them away from the school's boiler room - NPCs wouldn't answer questions about it, the Pcs would get roped into nonsense as soon as they tried to get to the basement, etc.

#

so at this point, the players started trying really hard to get to the boilers, knowing something was up

#

as they shoved past students and beat down doors, the school itself started trying the beat them back, shattering windows to injure them with broken glass and collapsing floors under them

#

then, eventually, the gunslinger player got fed up and used a legendary item they'd acquired about a month ago and been too scared to use - a bullet forged using devil magic

opaque quail
#

@feral nebula Not specifically - I'm on the operations side, and with SGG as small as it is, it means I do sort of a hodgepodge of work.

astral siren
#

they found the room above the boiler room, chambered the round, and fired at the floor, creating a magic shockwave the blew all the windows out

#

and, more crucially, dispelling the illusion the players had been trapped inside all along

humble willow
#

I love it!

feral nebula
#

I'm gonna have to get used to this whole channel-switching thing

astral siren
#

I redistributed the players' normal sheets, and they reentered combat with the elder kitsune they'd been fighting "the whole time"

opaque quail
#

It definitely is an adjustment, I promise it's worth it in the long run. 😄

astral siren
#

anyway, that's the long and short of it

#

hopefully i didn't run on too much

#

it's probably my favorite session of a campaign that i've run

#

all the players had a lot of fun with it

feral nebula
#

@opaque quail, does that mean you were a fan who now works for them? 😮

opaque quail
#

Correct! I would even go so far as to say that I am.... still a fan, who works here.

pastel phoenix
#

Caitlin = ascended fan, confirmed

tardy anchor

I ship it

That's so cool!

opaque quail

you ship... me and supergiant??? 😄

You and a fantastic job!

Oh snap! Me too!

Can you even ship a company?

opaque quail
#

I ship me and financial security.

tardy anchor
#

now THATS a partner

feral nebula
#

lol

#

@astral siren that was amazing

#

Loved that

#

Thanks for taking the time to type it out

astral siren
#

No problem! Glad you enjoyed the story.

#

I'm a real fan of taking elements the players take for granted (in this case, the DM) and making them strange and unreliable

#

To keep things relevant to this server, I think that this sort of idea was probably inspired by the spore level in Bastion, among other things

#

The realization that Rucks is no longer "on your side" makes that level really tense, or at least it did in my case

#

and I wanted to replicate that element in another medium

feral nebula
#

What do you mean by "on your side"?

astral siren
#

It's been a long while since I played bastion, so I might mess up a couple of details

#

but I remember the "scrambling" of his voice clips makes it so that his advice is no longer as helpful, or a lot more angry than it was before

feral nebula
#

Ah, yeah, for sure

#

"Would you look at what he did to poor Randy down at the bar"

#

Is great

astral siren
#

rather than having this benevolent narrator who kind of accompanies you through each level and makes all the threats seem manageable ("And then the kid fell to his death. Nah, I'm just fooling.") you now have a voice that's criticizing you and tearing you down

feral nebula
#

Yeah

#

It's great

astral siren
#

ah, yeah, the changed Randy clip is an excellent example

feral nebula
#

Is it ok to ping crew?

#

In general

#

If you are addressing someone specifically

#

Sometimes people forbid it, to prevent stuff getting too spammy

opaque quail
#

I think as long as you don't spam, and know that you might not get a response for whatever reason, you're good. I think the thank you was very nice. 😃

feral nebula
#

The more I interact with this company and it's products, the more I love it, to be honest

velvet fjord
#

Jawson Bog is possibly my favorite level in any game

#

Especially since the death line is all spooky

sharp grail
#

yeah its amazing

#

really difficult but also just.. wow

feral nebula
#

"The dead... welcome him with open arms"

#

I love it

#

Love the whole thing, though, so you know

Hey @everyone I don’t know how much you know about the gaming charity SpecialEffect who support disabled people to be able to play games but I’m running the Great North Run half marathon for the charity in September so if anyone can spare a little cash to the worthy cause it would be much appreciated.

It was Danish

What if your superpower was summoning animate stuffed animals?

Kind of difficult to be evil.

Have you even seen Toy Story???

Stuffed animals can smother you to death.

Oh, yeah. Forgot about Sid.

There's not a lot that can't be used for evil if you're trying.

I feel like I’ve actually read something where someone who could control stuffed animals was evil

Hollow knight!!!!

It's one of the devil fruit powers in one peice.

#

Turning people into toys, and they lose their memory. Kind of creepy actually.

I would want the candymancy power though.

I had never heard of the novel so it came as a surprise

velvet fjord

it's from a novel?

versed moon
pale briar
#

Graphic novel apparently

sharp grail
#

oh

#

a graphic novel by falcon ron......

north hamlet
#

@versed moon i agree

faint panther
#

Love me some graphic novels =3

#

How fast would you buy a bastion comic? gilmanpride

viral token
#

hate to be the wet blanket, but I think Bastion (and Transistor, to some extent) are very contained stories, and very careful in their worldbuilding at that, adding anything on top of that could make the world feel unnecessarily bloated

#

I wouldn't mind a Pyre comic, though

faint panther
#

I mean I wouldn't mind if they deviated from the games =3 but yeah, things can be tricky to translate from one medium to the other effectively.

#

I deffinitely feel like a lot of things shouldn't be movies, but most concepts actually start in a sort of comic book concept form at first, so I don't think it's that far of a jump. Maybe it's just the inner fanboy talking, haha.

viral token
#

nah, I get it, I read a lot of comics, it's just that I feel that if we were to get licensed comics, it'd be great if they were companions to the games, not retellings of them

faint panther
#

I agree

viral token
#

and I don't think Bastion has too much of a capacity for an expanded universe, in particular since the player's perception of the game world's past is one of the more important themes

#

and adding some info on how the world works beside the game feel kind of like skewing the odds

faint panther
#

I'd love to see Transistor EU

viral token
#

it could work, but I'd still consider Pyre to be the most viable for some comic book expansion

#

there is a lot of downtime in between when the game is happening, I could imagine the Nightwings having some fun adventures while the Rites aren't going on

faint panther
#

I'm a newcomer when it comes to comics. I only read indie stuff at the moment. As a learn more about the authors I enjoy, I think I'll pick out some other stuff to read by them.

viral token
#

that's a reasonable way to enjoy comics and not get instantly bogged down by all the continuity chaos in some genres

somber ferry
#

mm yeah i like smaller name comics myself. sure makes finding comic stores hard tho.

#

i gotta drive like half an hour to get my comics because none of the local stores would bother ordering the stuff i read :U

#

only big two and funkos

#

which sucks

viral token
#

I have to get most of the stuff I enjoy digitally, as not everything that releases gets a translated version in my country

somber ferry
#

oh dang

viral token
#

still, there are some good comics to read, superhero or not

#

I'm in love with Giant Days lately

#

it's such a fun thing to read

somber ferry
#

i really like zodiac starforce! the second series just finished recently

viral token
#

didn't know that, but looks pretty neat

somber ferry
#

it's real lovely!

viral token
#

when it comes to Dark Horse, one of the publishers in my country started releasing the Library Edition of Hellboy, both my wallet and my shelf space are weeping

#

DH have also recently announced Invisible Kingdom, for which I'm rather seriously hyped

unkempt sandal
#

im one book away from having the whole ultimate collection of invincible from image comics

viral token
#

nice, that's a big one

unkempt sandal
#

11 out of the 12

#

but have like all the marvel disney kingdoms comics

viral token
#

I'm rather selective when it comes to buying original physical copies, because I'd rather support my local publishers

#

but then again, I'm not holding my breath for them releasing stuff like Nextwave

#

which might be one of my favorite superhero books of all time

unkempt sandal
#

Ohhh might check that out

#

my favourite is invincible which is why i am collecting that one

viral token
#

Nextwave is just 12 issues, and it's a comedy book by Warren Ellis

#

so it's pretty insane at times

#

most of the time, that is 😛

unkempt sandal
#

i think my proudest comic though is the danish version of don rosa's "the life and time of scrooge mcduck"

viral token
#

yeah, that's a classic

unkempt sandal
#

the danish version is pretty rare

viral token
#

also, when it comes to picking up books by the creator, I'm unable to say no to a Ryan North comic

unkempt sandal
#

warren ellis is the transmetropolitan warren ellis

viral token
#

the same one, yes

unkempt sandal
#

cause if its that guy he has a beautifully wicked sense of humor

viral token
#

the slogan for Netwave was "It's like Shakespeare, but with lots more punching!", so you know it's there

unkempt sandal
#

nextwave or netwave

#

nextwave right?

viral token
#

Nextwave, yeah

#

spelling error

unkempt sandal
#

seems good xD

#

i might pick it up if i see it

#

But yeah my favourite superhero comic is invincible

#

but my favourite superhero is daredevil

#

especially frank millers daredevil

viral token
#

Daredevil had some serious luck with the writers for quite some time

#

Miller, early2000s-Bendis, Brubaker

unkempt sandal
#

miller is my ❤

#

i have the og first 10 danish version of the comic

#

like the first 10 danish daredevils that was released

#

he was funnily enough called dæmonen which just translates into the demon

#

or the devil

viral token
#

yeah, there's no easy way of getting to translate superhero names

#

you either leave them as they are and lose the descriptive meaning, or translate them and risk them sounding off

unkempt sandal
#

i know

#

spiderman was just called edderkoppen in danish

#

which direct translate means the spider

#

and i think the most infamous one in denmark was the changing of mickey mouses name when he came to denmark

#

he was changed to mikkel mus

#

problem is that a nickname for foxes is mikkel and its normally not a name that is well associated

#

which is one of the major reasons why donald duck is more popular in denmark and in general the rest of scandinavia

viral token
#

my country, Poland, has a rather weird history of the first superhero comics, because they cooperated for the first year with the Swedish publisher, back in the 1990, and apparently translated from Swedish instead of English

#

this led to some... weird results with the names

unkempt sandal
#

xD

#

i can imagineee

viral token
#

like, you have Juggernaut

unkempt sandal
#

oh nooooo

viral token
#

and in his first Polish appearance he was called "Władca Murów", which translates into English directly as "The Lord of the Walls"

unkempt sandal
#

lol what was the swedish name?

viral token
#

don't know, don't have access to the Swedish version

#

but there are some giveaways

#

like the Green Goblin being called the Green Troll

unkempt sandal
#

also my danish version of the life and times of scrooge mcduck is worth around 320 dollars

#

i mean yeah

viral token
#

because, apparently, there is no such thing as Goblin in Swedish folklore

unkempt sandal
#

cause in scandinavian folklore we dont have goblins and gnomes really

#

we have what is called nisser

#

which we look at differently as helpful creatures when treating them right

#

and evil mischivous creatures if you treat them wrong

viral token
#

that's fair

unkempt sandal
#

and most images of nisser is basically garden gnomes

#

in danish a gardengnome is called en havenisse

#

Also we dont have the concept of elf's being santas helpers

#

nisser is santas helpers

#

as elf is different in our folklore and much more of the lord of the rings kind

#

there is a really good play called elverhøj which show of a lot of scandinavian folklore

viral token
#

oh, that's nice, I might check it out

faint panther
#

I'm only reading Image at the moment. Monstress is my latest addiction, hehe

viral token
#

Image has some really cool comics in their line-up

#

I really like Snotgirl, but I'm kinda biased towards Brian Lee O'Malley after Scott Pilgrim 😛

unkempt sandal
#

i wish i could get more expansion on umbrella academy have both of the books but i just feel like i want more

#

its such a uniquely weird universe

#

might be a little biased because of mcr and gerard way being awesome

#

nah jeff smith "bone" is the legit stuff

#

that stuff is so great

#

that was like one of my first good comics i read

viral token
#

Bone is pretty good, yeah

unkempt sandal
#

along with a beautifully weird danish comic series that is probably the best danish comic called valhalla

#

i recommend it if you are able to get it

faint panther
#

I'm a super big fan of The Invisibles and Locke & Key

unkempt sandal
#

there was also an animated movie made in the same stile

#

for now I've only been able to pick up Vei when it comes to Scandinavian comics

#

oh, Locke & Key, aren't they doing a TV series for it now?

unkempt sandal
#

this one

#

it takes place norse mythology

viral token
#

the style rings a bell, but I'm not sure if I've seen this book somewhere before

unkempt sandal

but its legit one of the most famous danish comics

along with rasmus klump xD

@everyone This is for a game I'm making, I want it to feel like indiana jones. I just watched The Last Crusasde and The Temple of Doom today, and I wanted to know what you liked best about the indiana jones series.

#

Thanks in advance

faint panther
#

For me the foundation story wise is an already established myth or legend and then Indi kind of solving it by being clever or subverting the expectation.

#

Sorry that’s not very specific lol

I always viewed math as a cult, and finding that pathygoras actually had a math cult was funny.

The adventures always start with some legend that in some ways, ends up holding some grain of truth.

Also, he's usually always in over his head- captured, escaping, brawling.

@tardy anchor Hallo! How are you?? I got a brand-new PC and I've kinda been absent from here due to setting it up and stuff [and the Witcher III is more addicting than I'd thought....] Anyway, did you watch the Transistor stream they just did? Or the amazing Pyre stream?? 😄 It was /incredible/, and they answered a ton of questions by everyone! They were so responsive, it was great 😄

tropic garden
#

neither kam nor I were able to watch it but thankfully a few people have been uploading segments of the streams!

yeah, prolly better off that way, even if it might be a lil slow

i just dont think ill ever get through it with how much there is if i start from the second campaign

quartz vessel
#

ive seen a certain gifset of matt ... well, "flirting" as a powerful NPC with one of the party members, apparently during a late point in their campaign, and the absolute shock/realization on the other players' faces when they realized what the NPC was implying was great

pastel phoenix
#

some of my favorite parts are when the players troll Mercer

#

he's a worldbuilder and he WILL follow through on that if you make him

sharp grail
#

yeah i think ill start from the second campaign, i see a lot of the characters so im already a little invested

quartz vessel
#

i cant remember specific examples of the players trolling matt, rip

sharp grail

its how i got into taz, i was curious about the characters after seeing them everywhere

quartz vessel
#

and aw, alright

also i met my friend a few days ago and she told me id like yasha so i suppose i HAVE to,

if i like it i might get into the first campaign eventually! theres still hope giilmanrage

To be fair, it's not exactly "trolling" per se, but it does feel like one of those "go on..." type tricks

#

Hey, if there are any comic fans here, I highly recommend reading The Wicked and The Divine. It's a series that I think shares a lot with Supergiant's ethos, in terms of subtlety and specificity and craft

tardy anchor
#

ooooohhhh i havent read it but ive seen pics, it looks SOOOO pretty

rigid jackal
#

It's so good

serene kettle
#

Becoming a pianist is hard 😩

faint panther
#

WicDiv is one series I have not checked out yet. I know it's pretty popular though. If it's anything like Supergiant's work I will have to check it out sooner rather than later.

#

Currently catching up on Descender and Low. I'm really liking Rick Remender's worlds and his tragic characters. Like the Cormac McCarthy of Sci Fi, in comics.

rigid jackal
#

Yeah, the reason I say it's similar to Supergiant's work is that it's about an outlandish concept, but focused on character stories within that concept. It also tells a highly structured story that is supposed to prompt questions rather than lay out a clear A->B->C plot

#

It's also a lot about ritual and repetition, which is a big Supergiant theme

faint panther
#

That is definitely intriguing. Sounds like it'll be right up my alley.

velvet void
#

I don't read all that much comics but I read a decent amount of manga.

#

Few of my favs being Berserk, Vagabond, Vinland Saga, Hajime no Ippo

#

Really good reads

pastel phoenix
#

!!!

#

I haven't heard about those manga in ages!

#

Greetings fellow fan!

faint panther
#

I always hear bad things about everything Berserk, except the manga. Hajime no Ippo I have seen

solemn sierra
#

Berserk is very particular. It retains that very 80-90ies feel to it, it's also one of the more brutal mangas in how it approaches certain subject matters, it doesn't get as close as the junji ito collection, but it does get fairly close at times. Some also have a problem with the sexism aspect of Berserk, which, I mean, this is the same manga where you have 10 other loaded, and somewhat difficult subjects next to that.

pastel phoenix
#

The old one is better than the recent adaptation, but I'm not a fan of the story in that medium, tbh

#

Berserk, I mean

solemn sierra
#

Jeesh, I had to edit that multiple times

#

I can't word tonight

pastel phoenix
#

No worries

solemn sierra
#

I would say another manga I would like to think about when thinking about Berserk that is probably as loaded in some respects would be oyasumi pun pun

#

If you decide to read that, don't think about it too much, you might have crippling depression for a few weeks

#

Two things I can definitely give Berserk is how interesting and somewhat grounded the relations and personalities of the characters are, they go through a lot of horrible things, and the way the author decides to develop some of them is interesting for sure. The other thing would be the art, the art is like none other. The art you have at the very beginning is really good, and then the more you go, the more amazing it gets. The amount of detail the author puts in some of the drawings is unreal.

#

I don't think any adaptation would ever pay proper tribute to the drawings.

pastel phoenix
#

Yeah

#

There's something so intensely alive about the work on the page that I don't think will ever get the budget to be properly translated to the screen

solemn sierra
#

Another artist I can think of that's amazing is Sakamoto, who did Kokou no hito

pastel phoenix
#

Haven't had the chance to read that one

#

Penny for your thoughts?

solemn sierra
#

It looks like a sports manga. But it's very depressing, it discusses a lot of issues, it has some disturbing art, but the art is top notch.

#

There's also Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue

#

I think I got the name right?

pastel phoenix
#

The one about Miyamoto Musashi?

solemn sierra
#

yes

pastel phoenix
#

I'll have to add that to my list

serene kettle
#

Happy National Girlfriend’s Day y’all

faint panther
#

I do feel like there is a certain honesty(?) you have to keep when writing a period piece like Berserk. What grabs my attention just from looking it over is the art for sure, but also the way it depicts violence. It's not romantic at all in that respect. I'll give the first volume a read I think.

velvet fjord
#

why do they have a national girlfriend's day, aren't there only two people on the planet in a relationship

or has the internet bamboozled me once more

upbeat scroll
#

well, if there's only 2 people on the planet in a relationship, dont each of them deserve a day for their accomplishment?

faint panther
#

I've heard legends of this.... girlfriend...

lavish anchor
#

Lies

solemn sierra
#

yea that girlfriend sounds like an urban legend

velvet fjord
#

@upbeat scroll that's like holding a holiday for lotto winners

upbeat scroll
#

Who are you to tell lotto winners they can't have a holiday

lavish anchor
#

Most modern holidays are for people to feel special and considering lottery winners beat the odds, they get that feeling by default

#

Least, by my reasoning

velvet void
#

Really late to the conversation but the things that were drew into Berserk were the themes. You have people struggling with purpose after losing everything, the greyness of morality and what actions could be considered justified if it meant peace, characters going through a crisis of fate in a world where only the inhumane and evil seem to happen, and the subject of whether or not the actions in your life come from you or are the product of greater forces out of your control.
Berserk also has one of my favorite characters in all of fiction, Guts. The protagonist that you see grew from an infant to a man and you see him change throughout in a very organic way.
But yeah, I have a very deep love for Berserk and could go on talking about it for hours.

drowsy zephyr

Berserk is quite epic, i love Griffith! I just wish the manga would release faster/be off hiatus! As long as they dont discontinue it completely though I'm ok lol

#

Anyone here good at game dev? (besides the developers obviously, that's a given)

upbeat scroll
#

sure, why do you ask?

honest spoke
#

I'm trying to make an RPG and I'm a bit unsure on how to structure the ui for the menu... mind you that may depend on the engine I'm using too

upbeat scroll
#

what engine are you using

honest spoke
#

godot3

upbeat scroll
#

oh hey, ive used that

honest spoke
#

it's open source, and I like it's node hierarchy :)

upbeat scroll
#

have you been using margin containers and stuff

honest spoke
#

margin containers? no HBoxContainers and VBoxContainers, yes

#

but since it's like an rpg

#

classic final fantasy style, I want them to move a cursor rather than actually clicking on stuff

#

godot doesn't have much support for that out of the box from what I can tell

upbeat scroll
#

selection cursor?

#

i think godot has a builtin one, but you might not be able to make it look how you want it to look

#

otherwise, just make a 2d array based on the layout of your buttons in code

honest spoke
#

right

#

that's what I was doing

#

it gets complicated when you have multiple menus

#

like do you have one cursor that gets repositioned based on what has active focus or are they all self contained etc.

upbeat scroll
#

yeah, i see what you mean

#

are you literally just moving a texturerect around with a cursor image on it?

honest spoke
#

animatedSprite, then the code has an internal array position so it knows what it it over

#

but yeah

#

currently I'm using like the classic ff hand.

upbeat scroll
#

sounds like youve got this handled

honest spoke
#

pun intended?

upbeat scroll
#

heh, no

#

how i wouldve done it is change the button's texture to one that looks like it has a cursor over it, but i guess your way makes animation easier

#

what DO you need help with, then

honest spoke
#

No idea how to structure the actual menus within the node tree

#

and how the cursor interacts between them, how to switch between them etc.

upbeat scroll
#

you can do a lot of wacky things with the node tree

#

my gut tells me to try this

parent node
    cursor
    menu1
        menu1children
    menu2
        menu2children
    menu3
        menu3children
honest spoke
#

yeah that makes sense

upbeat scroll
#

even if, to the user, submenus should seem to nest into each other, in practice that probably wouldn't work too well

honest spoke
#

then like make signals that run on_enter and on_exit functions to hide the menus etc.

upbeat scroll
#

yep, something like that

#

store the 2darrays in either cursor or parent node, i think

#

but you can implement that how you feel comfortable doing it

honest spoke
#

alright, thanks for the help :)

Looking for recommendations. Anyone have any underrated games they like? Or just unique games in general. squirtyay

@faint panther It depends on what sort of game you're looking for. Ever heard of the Submachine series?

faint panther
#

I have not! I do enjoy a good point-n-click adventure though. What's the hook?

wise wolf
#

The setting and exploration. If you like theorizing about Transistor, you'll probably love this. And the artwork gets really good in the later parts of the series.

Grim Fandango, anyone?

not that unique, but it's kind of old

drakengard is certainly unique but also definitely better to watch than play

chilly briar
#

Haven't heard of godot before, if it conforms to traditional object orientation it shouldn't be too hard to make a menu system that just uses references to essentially make a sort of two tailed linked list of menus

#

@honest spoke

serene kettle
#

I don’t plan on buying it (unless SE decides to fund Yoko for a remake) so I probably will check out some videos on it

tardy anchor
#

oooh whats tacoma?

chilly briar
#

You can also use a base class to have a generic menu and extend those, typings should then allow you to store any references to anything that extend that class

#

similar to how factory methods/classes work

serene kettle
#

I just discovered Tacoma as well. But here’s the description on ps store.

Six crewmembers lived and worked on space station Tacoma, forming relationships, experiencing love and loss, and facing crisis together. Discover not just what happened to these people, but what makes them who they are, through your role as an interactive investigator.

In each section of the station, you are surrounded by digital representations of crewmembers following their own parallel story threads that diverge, recombine, and split off again. Rewind, fast-forward, and move through these scenes’ chronologies as they swirl around you. Your interactive tools allow you to discover the tightly-knotted narrative from every angle, and in every detail.

A deeply-imagined speculative vision of the near future from the award-winning story team behind Gone Home and BioShock 2: Minerva’s Den. Now with over 2 hours of audio commentary from the developers!

just checking, saw something about javascript above but I skim read

chilly briar
#

i.e. a dependency that has a violation in NSP but is not maintained by yourself

#

had that at my work, since we have a major endpoint that gets millions of hits a day if we have something come up like a major security hole or something in a dependency then we kind have to fork it internally to patch it until fixed urgently or patch it via other means etc since the risk is simply too great to leave it and wait for maintainers to resolve.

#

(although usually if I fix something like that I'll make a PR for the maintainers to save time, although hasn't come up in a while)

#

The cover is pretty sweet tho

#

I still have mine from 2011. It's where they listed their top 200 games of all time

#

That one was pretty rad as well

faint panther
#

Hahah, true! Not that old. I had some older ones from 2015 I was planning on doing a collage with, but ended up throwing them away in a move.

#

velvet void

#

yalls themed reacts in the welcome channel are so cute >:(

north hamlet
#

The blue feathery spear girl is Gwendolyn from odin sphere

#

Which is an excellent game that was remastered a little while ago and would probably be fun for people who like supergiant games GO BUY IT

tardy anchor
#

ooooh ive seen pics n it looks SO great....is it playable on pc?

north hamlet
#

The remaster was on a bunch of playstations as far as I know

#

So not really no

tardy anchor
#

:((((

#

oh well

north hamlet
#

See this is the part where you borrow a console from a friend

#

It's also pretty story heavy so even watching it can be good fun

tardy anchor
#

i dont know anyone with a playstation lol

north hamlet
#

Is picking up a second hand ps3 out of the question?

tardy anchor
#

i mean...right now, yeah
but maybe one day!

lavish anchor
#

Beware of it's almight CELL processer!

#

OOooOooOhhH!

tardy anchor
#

i dont have a tv to hook it up to either...

north hamlet
#

I'd almost lend you my console but you're all a long plane flight from me

tardy anchor
#

hahaaaa dont buy a ticket just for that 😂

lavish anchor
#

Could mail it

#

I poke fun but I've never heard of a PS3 breaking

tardy anchor
#

please dont mail me a ps3 and tv just so i can play odin sphere

lavish anchor
#

...It does sound funny when you put it like that

north hamlet
#

The shipping from here would probably be more expensive than doing it with luggage π_π

lavish anchor
#

Where you at?

north hamlet
#

Australia, the land of spiders and dangernoodles

lavish anchor
#

Ahh, that would do it

#

I'm in Kansas, the land of heat, cold and empty fields

north hamlet
#

That sounds kind of like the surface of Mercury

lavish anchor
#

It's been hitting high 90's for most of the summer and come winter, will probably drop below freezing on the average day

north hamlet
#

Harsh

lavish anchor
#

That's not even counting the 'people' round these parts

#

But hey, at least shipping isn't too much unless it's from Thailand or something

north hamlet
#

Meanwhile I'll just be adding australia tax to my australian tax

lavish anchor
#

Australia Tax sounds like you have to survive being bitten by something horrific and survive

#

"Pay the Australia tax!" gets bitten by spider "Ya good ta go!"

north hamlet
#

Yes it's the most terrifying creature of all

#

Our federal government

lavish anchor
#

Being American in these times, I can agree and leave it at that

#

Either that or a 6 pack of Australian beer, which would probably kill me

north hamlet
#

Nah it'll be the vegemite

lavish anchor
#

What is that?

#

I've heard about it, spoken in hushed tones reserved for The End of All

north hamlet
#

It's like soy sauce for toast

#

Wield it with caution

lavish anchor
#

Vegemite is salty, slightly bitter, malty - From Wikipedia

north hamlet
#

And butter

lavish anchor
#

That sounds ghoulish

#

As in, a ghoul's fetid flesh would taste salty, slightly bitter and malty

north hamlet
#

It's made of dead yeast

#

Should be pretty close

lavish anchor
#

Reading it's history and it sounds like it should have been a mistake created by alchemists in ther pursuit of eternal life gone wrong

#

I say this as a person who has eaten styrofoam

north hamlet
#

That would explain why aussie kids are raised on it

lavish anchor
#

Is it sad I'd still be willing to try it?

north hamlet
#

Not at all

#

Become one of us

#

Get some buttered or cheesed toast and put like half a teaspoon of vegemite on it

#

And i guarantee you won't be an americans don't know how to vegemite meme

lavish anchor
#

As long as the food doesn't bite back at me, I'll try it

#

If it's worse that jaeger, I'll be impressed

elder bolt

sullen comet

Pretty much

elder bolt

sullen comet

@sullen comet I haven't bought a tablet in years so I can't really help there either

#

the one I have is a Wacom Intuos (CTL-480) and I've had it for... gosh it must be 3 or more years now

sullen comet
#

Oh ok

#

Lemme look that up

leaden rampart
#

it's pretty small in size

#

don't think it's sold anymore now that I think of it

sullen comet
#

Oh

#

Well I look on amazon and thank you

#

*i will

tardy anchor
#

ahhh muzeek i have the same tablet!!

leaden rampart
#

no problem, I can try asking some friends about cheaper tablets as well if you need

#

!!

#

FRIEND

#

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS THIS

tardy anchor
#

HAT!!

#

ive had it for....wow, 4+ years huh

leaden rampart
#

yeah it lasts surprisingly well

tardy anchor
#

yeah!!

sullen comet
#

They still sell tablets

leaden rampart
#

out of curiosity, how's your pen nib lasting? I was an idiot recently and only accidentally found out where the spare nibs were stored so I thought I was doomed

#

of this model wafflez?

sullen comet
#

Idk lemme check

leaden rampart
#

wacom's one of the most known brands for selling drawing tablets and such so I doubt they'll stop any time soon

tardy anchor
#

oh......they dont last that long imo, maybe a few months? ive had to buy many replacements
