When I arrive at some destination that I’m supposed to be but I scare that I might be in the wrong place

Physical or digital copy?
Tad Fibonacci
Depends on what it is. But generally, I prefer physical.
Digitalization of information is convenient, but they can disappear without warning one day and you can't do anything about it.


Same question.
MisakiTobisawa-
Both cases can disappear just as easily, though. As Tad said, it's all about the context. Currently, most examinations are taken in physical pen and paper, but they may be translated to digitized editions in the near future. For my school notes, I get printed copies and they're also posted online, but I prefer being able to write notes on paper. For writing essays, typing is more efficient than writing with a pen. These are just a few of the many cases we may need to consider.

What's a bad habit you still practice today? I touch lots of things for no reason...
samX500
When I think of doing something new, I always feel like it's something out of my scope of ability and that I might try later in my life when it becomes in my scope of ability.
I have recently been straying away from that line of thought, as I am now starting to play the euphonium despite having absolutely no idea how to play it but it's been something that stopped me from starting something new very often in my life.

i tend to have a habit of falling asleep abruptly with my computer or lights on. it's frustrating, especially when your parents or relatives yell at you for that, even though you can't exactly control it all that well.

i'll stick with a question i had yesterday.

if i were to do commissions now, limited to headshots ($7-15), busts ($13-18), and full-body works ($19-26), would you want to commission me?
Birdy
I do not know your style, but I do love commissions amd tend to buy those nearly monthly. I'll stick with a strong "maybe".

same q, why not

Currently not allowed to spend money. Too young. So I'll have to pass.

Yes, provided I have extra money. It's always nice to see other people doing what I can't.

What's one issue about learning your second language? The Chinese alphabet has 4 different pronunciations and sometimes, even now, I can't articulate them properly when I speak.
Achromalia
Personally, Spanish is just kinda tough with grammar. I've never committed to learning to speak it, though I can pronounce words and read/understand it fairly well. I just have trouble with conversations.

Any particular games you've cherished in your childhood?
Birdy
Spyro the Dragon has been my favourite video game as long as I can remember, and it still is. During my early teenage years when games such as Pokémon Diamond and New Super Mario Bros. were released, the time and effort I put into those started rivalling with Spyro the Dragon for the first spot (it was easy to carry them around on handheld consoles), but they never quite took the first spot home. Even now it's much easier for me to just pick up Spyro whenever and play through it, probably one reason being that it only takes a couple of hours to beat it 100%, while the other two take a bare minimum of 2 days to "complete", a lot longer if you're going for 100%.

So, in short, Spyro the Dragon, which is still my favourite game of all time.

Medal of Honor Allied Assault and it's expansion packs.
One of the first games I've ever played, loved the very first mission "Lighting the torch", it's not too hard and has quite the variety.

Starcraft (+ Starcraft Brood War), Platform Racing 2 (browser game), and several Need for Speed games from Underground, Underground 2, to Most Wanted 2003, Carbon, & Pro Street).

I'll throw in Diablo, the original Ratchet & Clank, ehm...

then there's fucking Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies, so good.

so... quite a few.

the Playstation 2 had been my favorite console for all the games i had for it.

the PC and browser games played a good part in it all as well.

good times, until everything went to shit.

Donkey Kong Country Trilogy and Super Mario games, all of which were on the SNES. That was all I had for a while.

I'm sure there are pleeeenty more but those are just the ones that initially pop into my head.

Have any game ideas?

It's really hard for me to come up with them sometimes. On rare occasions where I'm actually motivated I'm just like "ALRIGHT I'M ACTUALLY PUMPED, NOW LET'S MAKE A GAME-", but then I can't come up with anything. Gives me that feeling of desperately wanting to do something but not knowing where to start.
Achromalia
i'm assuming you're looking for game premises? there's also scrappy ideas to implement in pre-existing game projects, but it depends on what resources are available and what can/will be done for some game of sorts.

i'll throw random shit out.

1. how about a rhythm-based bullet hell shooter or platformer? better yet, A RHYTHMIC DANMAKU PUZZLE GAME.

2. a poem puzzler? poem puzzle-platformer? idk.

3. minimalist graphics, music from the Minimal genre, minimalist premise, crazy prerequisite of awareness and multi-tasking + strategy.

4. strategic-heavy game with minimal controls, multiple 2D screens to snap between, but one level, and endless enemies.

hopefully the insanity of that sparks something.

- - -

SQ, hopefully westo can get some more good ideas here.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Not gonna say much because I’m still planning about this but I got this idea from playing DnD with my friends. Rogue-lite game in a fantasy world with spells that you need components to create

i've been looking for this and didn't found yet(or maybe i'm not gaymer enough): a 2d(or 3d) gun-porn game where the focus is building your gun not your character, where you collect gun parts which directly affect gun properties or just find fully assembled gun with solid stats (you can disassemble it for your own gun). I'm imagining some wacky gun builds like homing bullets, ammo or life steal etc. with corresponding rarity of properties.

Not sure if that would interest you but personally, I think that coding physics is very interesting, as you have to adapt the laws and equations you have studied into a more concrete settings and it also helps you understand physics better. So if I wanted to code a game I would ask myself. What physical concept do I find interesting? And then I would find a way to make a game out of it.

Another idea that might be worth checking out would be board game. Those can offer you different challenge than what physics can offer since they are about game rule instead of equations, so you need to find a way to code whatever rule the game has. Just picking an already existing game is the easiest idea but if you really want to, you could come up with your own set of rule which you feel would be interesting to translate into code.

some more.

1. sandbox game where you're heavily limited in what you can do, yet you can still do anything. paradoxical? yeah! you can figure that one out, i guess.

2. story-based game using the Bitsy game engine tool thingy. just for fun, really.

3. a game based on optical illusions and spacial awareness, requiring the player to know their character speed and stuff to figure out where they likely are, as well as visual cues and stuff. a simple platformer will do. bring in a story too, if you'd like.

if it's not sufficient, feel free to ask again.

Thanks for all the ideas my dudes. Actually I may have just came up with a good one, question is when I'm actually gonna do it.

Achromalia wrote:

I've definitely thought about your #1 and #4 ideas before. I was almost gonna do that #4 idea but back then I felt like I wasn't ready to handle that type of challenge. I'm more confident in my abilities now so maybe one day I'll try that type of thing out. Altho rn I'm thinking about trying to make more simple games since all my previous ones took longer than I would have liked to create. They were a bit more complicated but also more linear which is kinda boring. I just came up with an idea which I think could be fun and simple. (the one i mentioned in the first line)

I'm thinking about doing some sorta silly floppy-type physics one day. That might be fun. Unity already has a physics engine so all you really need to do is fine-tune it to your specific needs.

Thanks to everyone else as well. It's much appreciated.

hmm. kinda hard to say without maybe being vague.

generally, i enjoy being around people that can afford to be serious and practical yet dorky and comedic when the situation calls for it. someone who's easy to talk to about anything that comes to mind.

Birdy
I enjoy hanging around with people, who don't mind spending time in the nature, enjoy talking about deeper subjects and have a weird sense of humour.

same q
MisakiTobisawa-
Literally anyone who can understand me and engage in a decently sustained conversation, because my interests are nothing like those of most other people of similar demographics as mine. Basically anyone adaptable enough to shift conversations back and forth between serious matters such as school, and more leisurely topics such as anime. But I highly doubt most people who spend a significant amount of time online chatting in forums, Discord etc. would enjoy the former.

What would you look for in a partner? This is possibly a question that's been asked many times before, but I feel that it's important to have clear ideas of what you want. If you don't, then it's best to avoid looking to deepen a relationship with a partner until you discover what traits you want him or her to possess.
Birdy
Well, I've lived together with my girlfriend for 3 years now. It's good to date someone you can be yourself with and don't have to play a role. Self-explanatory things, she has to be reliable and supportive, all that. Obvious stuff. It's important to be able to talk with her about anything, important and deep things but also weird little things. She has a good taste in music, our tastes in a lot of things go hand in hand, actually, it's really great. Of course, she's absolutely adorable as well.

Same question!
Bloom
I would like my partner to be able to be a bit more talkative than me, while not being annoying. She also shouldn't be too possessive since that limits a lot of freedom. Preferably she would have the same interests as me, but I wouldn't be too upset if she didn't. Bonus points if she has thicc thighs and glasses.
