Bay 12 Games Forum

So I discovered Mixamo Fuse. My big barrier to making the vidya gaemz (besides laziness, school and day jobs) has always been the art assets. I can create a satisfactory retro *bit pixelfuck sprite piece of garbage relatively easily, but that's not really what I like to create. So while randomly browsing to see what software Steam's got, I see Fuse. I had played around with MakeHuman before, but the base meshes are ugly, there's zero community around it and the included clothing basically shrink-wraps a texture on top of the character. But if you want anatomically correct Skyrim-style potato people, boy does it have you covered...

Fuse is like MakeHuman on cocaine. It's my new favorite toy. Even the free included stuff will keep me creating for a long, long time.

Wait wait wait when did this universe become Homestuck.

"Due to me probably having a very low amount of essence remaining, I am going to do something to actually get me some, you know, diversity in followers."  Create a book titled: inspiration and you, a guide to fey moods! The book shall detail many great things about fey moods, it will also have an effect on anyone who reads it, causing them to become inspired by what is around them and beginning to invent! It shall also have a chapter on Vashna, and how he invented inventing, then got knocked out by something name "stirk" and forced to sleep past creation.

"Oh come on."
Publically appear and debunk the heck out of that.
Start investigating Deific Theory, how deities work.
Encourage the Dgetagan, and others, to do research along the same lines.
Tell the Dgetagan that while they are free to also worship Vashna, the guy really gets on my nerves, is probably half-insane, and that he appears to have a case of megalomania, because I actually was an inventing god prior to his existence.
Provide the relevant evidence.
In fact, publish my own book, in any publishing house that exists.
A Practical Guide to Creation, by Dgetga and Inventors of the World.
It will have guides for how to encourage creative thinking, simple rules on keeping a clean workspace, draftsmanship teachings, and some basic devices with which to test one's skills in any particular field, or improve them.
There will also be an address to which one can send their blueprints to be included in the next edition, or supplements.
Publication will be yearly, with supplements coming out bianually.

((Reality sucks.  Stilldop todop?))

Sorcerer.  So I guess not?

As the game of Mafia reaches the Dgetagan city, they invent more roles (independent of any divine intervention) like doctor, Mafia doctor, detective-replacing-cop, cop-becoming-guard-like, vigilante killer (town), Mafia Don (final say on the kill), Night Watch (roleblock any player, not capable of setting conditions), Mafia Enforcer (same, but Mafia), Mayor (tiebreaks lynches, can save a player if he reveals his role), Mafia Investigator (can role check), matchmaker (pairs players, wins if all alive players have been paired, paired players are jointly protected and/or killed), and so on.  Yeah, I have played a game with lore-related versions of all these roles.  Then there are some more but, you know.  They don't translate back out.

Lots and lots of roles necessitate more players, so the game is expanded a bit to 15-25 players and slightly more Mafia.

what if I'm not smart enough for programming or computer science or artificial intelligence

then you'll pick a new major

what if it doesn't work out

what does that even mean

what if I can't get in the college

then you will get into community college and be awesome there for a couple of years and then get into college because you'll have more proof that you can be awesome

what if I don't enjoy it

then you will have to decide whether it's worth not enjoying or not or if there's some other thing you could do with college that would be more enjoyable

what if I'm using my time horribly

then you'll have learned how not to waste your time in the future, paradoxically making it a valuable use of your time

what if I'm making a huge mistake

then you'll fix it

what if there's something wrong with me

then you'll be like everyone else

what if I'm a loser

then you'll have cause to make friends with all the other losers, plus a motivation for your elaborate revenge fantasy of getting rich and, i quote, "showing them all"

what if I think everything is going ok but really everything is going wrong

then either you'll notice and do something about it eventually, or else it wasn't bad enough to really matter because you lived the rest of your life not knowing about it

i don't know if this will help but i hope so

It helps me, weird as it seems.
Heck, colleges I want to go to are sending me letters and I'm still worried about getting in.  I mean, physical LETTERS.  Plural.  And I was still worried about that.  Heck, it's even the same field of study.
Permission to refer to this as self-reassurance later?
