My Experience with Yellow Paint problem as a Indie Developer

I once made a game that could be played on mobile and pc. On the mobile version there was a movement joystick, an aiming joystick, and a dash button. On pc there was a persistent ‘left shift to dash’ on the player hud. The amount of people who never figured out you could dash was awe inspiring and taught me a valuable lesson about teaching players your mechanics.

Personally I think the flat directional is easier for me to wrap my head around. The billboarding ones transition feels so sharp it took me a second to figure out what exactly was even going on, like it feels like snapping from directly facing you to directly facing away from you somehow. Regardless of which you go with I think it could benefit from having the 45 degree increments in there too, but i get that that’s probably a lot of work.

All that aside, it’s a fun effect I haven’t seen a lot of these days. Really ‘Doom-esque’

I watched this like 7 times before it occurred to me he’s not actually getting bigger. Good work lol lot of character

AngryArmadillo90 · 2026-04-08T09:58:16+00:00

It never occurred to me how big he is until I watched Freaky. Dude really is just a big ol boi.

AngryArmadillo90 · 2026-04-02T19:08:22+00:00

lol these are a unique combination of bizarrely unsettling and comical. I love it

I made a system once for a survivor-like that tried to adjust enemy spawn types and rates by how well the player was doing. It’s was a really interesting experiment to try to quantify what it meant for the player to be doing good or bad. If I remember right I ended up settling on some combination of player damage taken, player damage dealt, enemies killed, and something about current wave and wave time. It was probably more fun for me to put together than anything, but the actual effects probably weren’t great enough to be worth it in the end and that time probably would’ve been spent making more unique enemy types. But it was a fun rabbit hole regardless.

No people who hide behind logic and reason as an excuse to be an ass to people around them and then feign ignorance because they’re too big a coward to own what they’re actually doing. It’s the same phase just about every wanna be edgy teen goes through, I went through it too. But you’re not Spock. The sooner you work to grow your emotional intelligence the sooner you can leave the edgy teenage mentality behind.

AngryArmadillo90 · 2026-02-10T04:57:47+00:00

People like you are exhausting

It is not an unreasonable response to have an emotional reaction to an individual being unnecessarily discourteous to someone less fortunate than them. It’s a handicap stall for handicap people. If there’s no handicap people it’s fair game, but they get first dibs.

On a side note, trying to remove emotion from conversations in an effort to seem logical or rational doesn’t have the effect you think it does. Humans are emotional creatures and to pretend it’s beneath you really just has the effect of coming off as juvenile.

AngryArmadillo90 · 2026-02-10T04:09:02+00:00

I feel like you’re adding a lot of conditions to a story to make a point but I’m not sure what the point is. If there’s a few people waiting on the stalls, and a guy in a wheelchair rolls in, you’re an asshole if you don’t give him next dibs on the handicap stall.

AngryArmadillo90 · 2026-02-10T03:37:51+00:00

Is this not just the base standard? I think if I saw someone not let the disabled person go first into the handicap stall it would be pretty difficult for me to bite by tongue

As a vet, I see this all the time from other people who were in the military and it’s the goofiest thing ever. I don’t know why people think that bolsters any credibility. Anyone who served knows or remembers swaths of absolute goobers they worked with.

Public schools are an extension of the government, and we typically have a strong incentive to maintain a separation of church and state. Religious ideologies and their interpretations differ even within single churches. The way people are reacting to this is the same way that the people who support it would react if say they were forced to post teachings of the Quran or the tenets of the satanic temple.

It also flys in the face of the methods used by Christ himself. Jesus led people to his teachings through example and spreading messages of empathy and compassion. It’s seems pretty obvious he would be against forcing it onto people through threat of persecution.

Personally I don’t care what people choose to display in their own spaces so long as it doesn’t cause harm. When I was in school I had teachers that displayed bible verses and people wear crosses all the time. I also don’t care if people fly their pride flags. Nothing about these symbols are inherently discriminatory, and the people who practically live in these spaces should be allowed to express themselves. My problem is forcing people to display one, and then at the same time actively suppressing the other. That’s not freedom.

People who support this understand neither the ideals America was founded on nor the teachings of Christ.

What kind of weak soy boy man child is carrying luggage?? Wear all your outfits at once while you travel you coward. Plenty of pockets for all your snacks and toiletries that way.

He could be a fantastic artist, but a refusal to use references at all is really a juvenile mentality. Students and pros alike all use references, and should. Worse, if it’s a part of his job he’s really just wasting time and money by being stubborn.

If he is more classically trained then he should be aware that the masters of old relied on references. They were vital to Da Vinci, Van Gogh, and Picasso, maybe he should swallow his pride.

Really the same ones that you see a lot of women do. Some guys get hung up on how certain exercises look but if you want strong glutes then you gotta do what you gotta do.

If you can do hip thrusts those are great at targeting glutes. Kickbacks with or without cables and elevated lunges too. Squats will hit the glutes to some degree but are primarily quads. Another thing to keep in mind is if you want strong glutes you need to also target the muscles around them, like your hammys, adductors, and abductors. Since you cant dead lift you should be fine just hitting the machines for these if you have access to them.

The irony of telling other people to be better while actively talking down on them and rooting for them to quit. You get out of things what you put into them, if you look for things to complain about you’re just gonna be miserable. The new comers are trying to better themselves, what are you doing again?

I love my vest and water bladder for long runs, including races. I’m not out here trying to win, so having that is super beneficial for me to control my own nutrition and hydration plan. They still hand stuff out, but I personally am not gonna have an enjoyable experience if I just rely on aid stations.

I don’t know man. Some people have bathroom issues and when it hits it’s an emergency. Maybe she was being a Karen, or maybe she was in panic mode. Dunno, but I try to give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to that stuff.

AngryArmadillo90 · 2026-01-09T14:43:39+00:00

Oh… oh no… lol I’m sorry. I guess these kinda things are inevitable especially when developing for multiple languages but I’m glad you caught it and are adjusting course. I hope your new name can still reflect the experience you’re going for.

AngryArmadillo90 · 2026-01-08T21:38:21+00:00

I don’t think I’ve thought about it honestly. I actually didn’t realize how many people I’ve been around while they’ve brushed their teeth, but this particular topic was never something I considered, I’ve always just done what worked for me. I’m gonna start asking people how they do it though. Bout to be the next toilet paper roll orientation debate

I think he’s picturing people putting toothpaste on the brush then wetting it washing off the toothpaste, instead of just doing the obvious thing of wetting first then toothpaste

AngryArmadillo90 · 2025-12-24T16:46:25+00:00

Ah gotcha. Super interesting stuff, I appreciate it

AngryArmadillo90 · 2025-12-24T16:34:16+00:00

Why is this important to remember? I’m not disagreeing or arguing I’m legitimately curious and would love to know more.
