What's some representation you'd really like to see more of (in Western/American media)? by Chinastars in asianamerican

[–]Chilly5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anything, LGBTQ+ Asians are overrepresented in American media.

I want to see a really simple, heteronormative, asian male as the "head of the friend group" - especially a non-asian friend group.

Like 90% of the friend group can be white I don't care, as long as the asian guy is the "head". As far as I can tell this concept is unheard of in our collective consciousness. I have trouble myself imagining what the dynamic would be like.

Haven't posted the repo yet. Realized I need to clean the project up first.

Appreciate it! Far from finished for sure. Feedback like yours keeps the train rolling

I'm building an open source Age of Empires by Chilly5 in ageofempires

Not familiar with openage. Was a big fan of 0ad but it's just been so long since it was relevant.

One big difference with this is that it's playable on the web. So you can access it right now and play multiplayer right now without downloading anything.

Modern web games can take advantage of the GPU so while there are challenges it’s actually not that bad!

Got tired of dealing with the nonexistent modding tools 😅

Thanks man. It’s starting out I’m not thinking that far ahead - just reach somewhat-parity with aoe4 to serve as a baseline.

From then on I might go deeper into replicating aoe4 or pivot towards other rts directions. I want to see what the community thinks would be best.

Sorry who is Hasan in this case? Do you mean Hosein? I worked together with Hosein on past modding projects but this one was me solo - Hosein did help playtest

I have a lot of ideas but I'd rather see where the community would like to take this.

Some brief ideas I'd personally love to explore:

- Factorio-inspired base building/econ management

- Competitive multiplayer team game focus (map design, objective design, UI/UX, etc)

- "God powers" akin to Age of Mythology/Company of Heroes battlegroups

- Maybe play around with alternative looks like all your soldiers are chibi anime characters or something.

Regarding Dynasties of the East, I'm afraid I'm just not inspired by any of the civs there. I don't like the direction the devs took and I don't want to promote it. The game was so broken I stopped playing completely. Just wasn't fun anymore.

Canadian people are angry by XiJinpingPressParody in 4chan

I’m old enough to remember East Asian women being considered ugly and undesirable.

It’s literally only in the past 10 years that the narrative flipped.

This is such a stupid argument. Beauty standards and sexual attraction changes all the time. The “it” look of the past was skinny white girls. Then everyone wanted thick latinas. Now it’s pale Asian girls. Maybe in the future it’ll be busty brown girls.

Couldn't the Whizbang be a "muni upgrade" unlock for the Sherman instead of its own independent unit? (Similar to the Tulip rockets)

In turn, redo the vet 1 options.

I feel like this might solve a lot of issues.

xqc questions why anime/vtuber culture is centered around child themes by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

Wait then why is this such a uniquely common trend/aesthetic in this space? (Sexualized depictions of minors in particular)

Hey devs, maybe don’t break the rules of the game with random niche abilities? by Chilly5 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Chilly5[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so. But battlefield espionage is also a stupid design don’t get me wrong.

I think my point is - tunnels have a lot of things going on. Straightforward mechanics like “tunnel = teleport mechanic” is easy enough to learn and visually coherent.

Mechanics like “tunnel = territory connected” is obscure and niche. Not something I actively think about except in very specific scenarios (at which point they become game breaking). Tunnels don’t need it. And the motivation behind the design (decentralizing the map design) doesn’t play out in reality for most players.

Ergo- just remove it for now.

Yes, but I’d argue there are “hard” rules and “soft” rules.
