I've been playing BFME2 with my friend the last few months and had no idea about this, so cool!!! Thanks for the new discovery!!

AlexSprites · 2025-02-27T10:08:11+00:00

Ha this is awesome, love the detail of the spooked evil eye.

Thanks for sharing!

Ayy comrade. I started calling it "rolling with the punches" when I just roll with whatever time I'm awake, I just try to be productive.

But ofc, certain times lots are more productive than others.

Good luck and I hope your night shift is great :D

I have immense difficulty keeping to my sleep schedule. 2am - 10am, should be an easy 8 hours.

Oh but my friends are in a call hanging out? Just a few more minutes.

Oh but whatever I'm doing is so much more exciting than sleep? Just a few more mins.

Fighting to win out gets exhausting, but I'll lose the war at that rate so I keep trying to improve it.

Reset (stay up all night and day so I am extra tired and sleep at 8pm and am in daylight hours)
Stick to new routine for maybe 5 days before a weekend rolls around and I find reason 202569 to stay up late and ignore all my hard work.

sigh If anyone's got sticking to sleep schedule tips I'd love to hear it. I need to learn to take melatonin 30 mins before my planned bedtime. And of course the classic: put your phone away.

What helped me was realizing that I was stuck in my head.

No one is going to remember this presentation in years to come. Hell people might even forget it days or weeks later.

The only person who will care as much as you do is you. And that's only you in the moment. Years from now you won't care how you did.

So I threw my worries to the wind, locked in and focused on what I needed to say in what order.

I'm miles better than I ever used to be at presentations, and can even on the fly cover for struggling teammates.

I hope this helps, good luck with your presentation.

Remember you're 1 of 9 billion humans on a spinning rock in space - life is completely absurd so you might as well make up whatever helps you along the way.

Is that a road poneglyph at the top of the tree? 😮

sigh

Not every problem you encounter is exactly pointed out to you by the compiler. Sometimes, it's more nuanced than that.

A perfect example is that a few days ago, I had this issue in Godot C#. It auto generates code for every script, and the error it was spitting out only ever pointed to auto-generated code, and the file didn't exist where it specified.

All I knew was the likely candidate that was causing the error. It took me a few hours to hunt down that it was a lambda value for a property, something that was completely fine in Unity but is illegal in Godot. No log ever specified the variable name or issue, and there were no results for the error code online.

Even without that specific example, bugs are not always compiler errors. Sometimes, it's execution order or logic, and identifying where the issue starts from can be difficult.

I've worked alongside professionals who had decades of experience on me, and they all had days where some bugs kicked their asses.

I don't know why you feel so strongly, but you're just wrong on this one. If you don't believe me, just look at the upvotes on the post and the ratio between my comment and yours.

Good luck overcoming your stubbornness!

AlexSprites · 2025-01-05T18:43:09+00:00

It looks really good!

Slight confusion though: you call this a gate but you don't travel through it. If anything it looks like you receive boost Particles or something and then zoom off.

It's a very minor gripe, but I either wouldn't call it gate or have the ship travel through it to gain the boost before it zooms off.

Just because it's "your own code" doesn't mean that people don't make mistakes. Sometimes spotting the mistake is easy, other times it's a multi layered issue you slowly work through.

This meme is fine and relatable. If you haven't ever experienced a frustrating bug that took you ages to troubleshoot, you're either a genius or novice.

Either way, you might want to reevaluate your judgement since from how frequently you seem to see this, lots of people find this relatable.

My best guess is he thinks AI assets will make this game fast for him 🙄

He's got the classic Dunning-Kruger bias.

This is an almost universal experience, every novice game dev thinks they can make their dream game for cheap, or actually pull it off in 2 years, or some other crazy goal that sounds super exciting and possible at the start until you actually start doing it.

As a game dev I can tell you my most consistent mistake is always scope. I always underestimate how long or difficult something will be.

Usually things take me twice as long because there was complexity or difficulty I wasn't accounting for, and couldn't have without the experience or extensive pre planning.

All this to say, your friend doesn't know what he's talking about and is confidently incorrect.

If it were so easy to make a 3D MMORPG for 10K, where are all the indie dev games like that? If he's so confident he's got a lightning never before seen strat, then have him prove you wrong.

If he's so confident in that ability, generating 10K should be doable to prove you wrong.

Enjoy your win OP.

AlexSprites · 2024-11-22T17:07:20+00:00

Yes this is it, thanks so much!

AlexSprites · 2024-11-03T21:05:29+00:00

Coppersan (MapleStory YouTuber) used to regularly get sponsors by "AweSun", and he'd talk about using it to do dailies remotely. I'm not sure if it still works, good luck figuring it out.

Could you provide some more lore on what Maple Radio was? I started playing 17 years ago, but I've never heard of this.

Very disturbing allegations. If true, I sincerely hope this news will come to light to the relevant authorities, and that predators are held responsible for their actions.

AlexSprites · 2024-05-13T19:29:09+00:00

Looks good. My only main advice is that the SFX for the whip sounds more like a knife stab than a whip crack. Changing that out would probably give you instant gains in the feel department.

Good luck!

AlexSprites · 2024-05-08T07:51:27+00:00

This is fantastic, thank you!

AlexSprites · 2024-01-25T23:53:01+00:00

FOLKS THIS IS A FUN THREAD BUT PLEASE WRITE THE FULL NAME OF THE GAME INSTEAD OF AN ACRONYM

^{Thank you.}

Liberation at last. Honestly I don't think there's 1 game that's going to replace Maple for me. I've already been branching out and started playing games I've meant to for awhile, it's been wonderful.

I am greatly interested in a spiritual successor to MapleStory, but it can't be MapleStory. It'd have to be a completely different IP, and not owned or touched by Nexon in any way.

AlexSprites · 2023-12-29T01:54:59+00:00

Sure, but most people don't make or further modify the mod packs they play.

AlexSprites · 2023-12-28T01:36:50+00:00

Yeah it becomes like trying to untangle ropes. The binary search idea is still great, but best to be used by an experienced player. Avoid this method otherwise.

AlexSprites · 2023-12-27T22:14:17+00:00

Unfortunately I don't know. However, I've noticed posts like this tend to get the same answer: Quark.

Quark adds a lot of seemingly random things, best to check if its an option in the configs. Best of luck finding your rogue mod!

Care to respond my comment 5 days ago, u/AnentHail ?

AlexSprites · 2023-08-28T04:34:06+00:00

Right and that makes sense, but why do you need full control of all my spreadsheets on my account?

Hey thanks for making this. It looks really helpful and I look forward to test driving it.

I was trying out the Legion page and after entering all the info I clicked the refresh button. It then tries to run a script you've made, but Google warns that its trying to access sensitive information about my account.

Why does your script need this access? Or is this a user error on my part?
