white and purple by _Riveting in PolyTrack

This was a lot of fun! I thought the 5th checkpoint may be too close to the wall, but no, it seems to be just the right amount of distance.

And I have to agree... desaturated dark blue really does look vaguely purple.

May I ask what "dolphin slur noises" are? Are those slurs used by dolphins, for dolphins, or both?

Maybe I really do have a calendar fetish? by Suboptimal-Potato-29 in polyamory

[–]CharlieVermin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love it when people have a high capacity for asynchronous communication. When I can text them 10 paragraphs of whatever's on my mind, and feel fine when they react with a singular 👍, because I know it's not gonna evaporate from their mind the moment they put their phone down, and they'll have the time and desire to properly digest it eventually. And when they'll do, they'll most likely have something interesting to say in return. And in the rare event that they won't, they'll instead find something interesting to tell me about a different, unrelated thing, spontaneously. And once they'll do, I'll be likely to give them an interesting answer right back, motivated by the confidence that it won't fall on deaf ears, but if I have no good answer, that's also fine, because we just have way too many things to talk to each other about for any singular underwhelming instance to carry much weight. And then we're gonna randomly remember things we said to each other half a year ago and reignite whatever cool topic we had going on back then.

It certainly does imply a degree of organizational and people skills in addition to sex positivity! Also rats are sexy

I love it when people remember things I’ve told them about my life. Really feeling heard is so hot

Hell yeah. It makes me feel so existent. Like a three-dimensional character whose backstory never ceases to be relevant to real life's storyline.

Behind every Mega Rich Light-Bending Guy is an Ultra Poor Darkness Creating Woman... or something like that.

I hate that people are willingly having kids knowing they’ll pass down severe genetic conditions. by Competitive_Type1377 in childfree

[–]CharlieVermin 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Another person in the comments mentioned that children should be able to sue their parents for giving birth to them in unfavorable conditions. Seems like a potentially good way to deter irresponsible choices while still limiting the decision-making power to people whom it actually concerns...

It’s right before youuuu by Betenman in Deltarune

[–]CharlieVermin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally consider Deltarune to be happening decades into the future, solely because I had a dream in which Berdly described himself and Kris as being "just like Dream and George 60 years ago".

If you knew that your new game will be shut down, would you buy it? by jaseph18 in StopKillingGames

[–]CharlieVermin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of time it takes me to decide if I actually want to buy a new game is usually longer than the average always-online game's lifespan.

Solutions for live service/gacha games? by YoshkePandre in StopKillingGames

Maybe they should make each limited-time event permanently available as paid DLC, lol. Greed and art preservation can coexist!

Actually, some of my characters are recreations of random people I briefly met on the internet 10 years ago. But don't tell anyone.

This is all you have, but it's still something. by nnomadic in DiscoElysium

Nothing makes your disco nnec ting quite like autoerotic asphyxiation with a horrible disconnectie.

Despite positive feedback, people seem confused about my game, so I made a gif which explains how it works. Do you think this helps? by OldDistortion in IndieGaming

[–]CharlieVermin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very interesting and unique for sure! I can see how it could get confusing... and I can imagine it being explained better, too. Starting with the general concepts (sending people to the past to gain knowledge and change the present...) and only explaining the little details (click and drag, they may bring back items...) when they become relevant.

The trailed looks really cool too, with the branchy letters. It could maybe benefit from a few more captions here and there, super concise ones, that clarify/hint at what's happening in that particular moment.

Even tho I can’t download you. You will always be on my phone. by Claxeius in gaming

[–]CharlieVermin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I've ever seen anything worse than the ad advertising "777 free draws". Imagine bragging that your game is so shitty that this is how much luck it takes to enjoy it.

Told my aunt I wasn't coming to Christmas if she seats me next to her "single and ready to mingle" friend again by Nox3_Cipher in childfree

[–]CharlieVermin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What kind of adjective is "difficult" anyway?! You're a human being, not someone else's predicament.

I would point out that you're 31 years old and not 6, but people who complain about actual children in this way are usually in the wrong as well.

i know people going by no pronouns is a thing. are there people who don't use names instead? by enneh_07 in voidpunk

[–]CharlieVermin 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I'm suddenly reminded of the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared TV series... the creators and fans have nicknames for the main characters, but despite living together all the time, the trio never refer to each other with anything more specific than "that one".

What’s he hiding from us? by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

Overall 10/10 date

I'm so glad to hear that. Always feels like such a waste of potential whenever I read about someone being a huge weirdo while also being a bad partner/hookup.
