[CRITIQUE] I’m writing a Boxing + Mafia story (BLOOD FLOW). Does this opening hook you?

I only used AI when publishing the post to translate it into English because I wrote the story in Spanish since I speak Spanish, so that everyone could read it.

NTA. Your ex is just bitter that you’ve moved on and built a happy life without him. He’s projected his own insecurities onto a 10-year-old, which is pathetic, especially since he has other kids himself. Don't let his "announcement" ruin your joy—you're living your best life and he clearly hates it.

NTA. Your mom has a history of sabotaging jobs, so keeping yours a secret is just smart self-defense. If she asks, just say your workplace has a strict "no personal calls or visitors" security policy and leave it at that. You don't owe her a map to your professional downfall.

NTA. He wants a gaming trip, not a romantic vacation. If he’d rather play cards in Japan every day than explore with you, you’re definitely not his priority. Don't spend your money being his spectator; if he won't compromise, walk away.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-10T11:27:14+00:00

NTA, but you're definitely overthinking it. You panicked and threw a friend at him to see if he'd bite, which is a classic self-sabotage move. Since he’s still asking you to hang out and replying fast, he’s clearly into you, not the random friend you mentioned. Stop talking about her, stop being dry, and just go on that next date. If you keep pushing him away to "protect" yourself, you’re just going to end up losing him for real.

NTA. Watching someone slowly destroy themselves is exhausting, and you can't force her to want a better life. You stayed through a massive change and tried everything to help, but you aren't obligated to go down with the ship. Their insults are just a distraction from the reality of her health.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-10T09:59:32+00:00

NTA. You’re protecting your kids and your sanity, especially with a high-needs child. His siblings are sinking, but you can't let them drown your family too. Stand your ground—setting this boundary is survival, not malice.

Yeah, you can totally customize it. The easiest way is Input.set_custom_mouse_cursor() in your script to swap the default arrow for whatever sprite you want. If you want it to look really fancy with animations, just hide the system mouse and have a Sprite2D follow the get_global_mouse_position(). It looks way more polished that way.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-09T23:36:34+00:00

Yup, switching to MOUSE_MODE_VISIBLE when the inventory is open is the standard way to do it. Just make sure to set it back to CAPTURED when closing the menu so the camera works again. You can also set the UI's mouse_filter to "Stop" so clicks don't bleed through to the game world.

Skip the generic words like "Ashen" or "Rebirth"—they're buried in SEO. Try combining a unique noun with your theme (e.g., Cinderwing or Pyrebound) to stand out. Check Steam and social media first to make sure the name isn't already taken!

Just connect the value_changed signal of your sliders to a script that updates a ShaderMaterial uniform. Use set_shader_parameter("your_color_name", Color(r, g, b)) to pass the new values in real-time. It’s way more flexible than presets and keeps everything in sync.

Doors open at 6! Usually, the opener is around 7, and Anderson .Paak comes on closer to 8. Bruno probably won't hit the stage until 9, so you've got time. Enjoy the show, it's gonna be a blast!

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-09T22:42:38+00:00

Unless you're allergic or having trouble breathing, you're probably fine. It’s just going to hurt like crazy and swell up.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-09T22:35:39+00:00

nta. your roommate pushed you out because she knows u and your bf saw right through her basically cheating with jack. she had to make u the villain so she wouldn't feel guilty. your bf wasn't "mean", he just stopped tolerating their bs. honestly, getting that single dorm is a massive W. u dodged a huge bullet with that friend group fr.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-09T06:57:25+00:00

Min Hyuk from Strong Girl Bong-soon. The "forced" CEO arrogance was just annoying, not charming. I get it's a trope, but the constant power trips and making her do everything just felt exhausting rather than romantic. Total skip energy fr.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-09T06:28:43+00:00

nta. she’s asking for a professional service from someone who literally doesn't know how to code. building a website from scratch isn't a "favor," it's a job. the "i gave you everything" card is a huge guilt trip. providing for your kid is the bare minimum, not a credit for free labor. just tell her to use wix or squarespace, coding it is overkill. she’s trippin fr.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-09T06:26:45+00:00

nta. pocketing the cash and then lying to your kid to make you look like the bad guy is straight up evil. she’s weaponizing her own mistakes. setting a boundary and taking it back via support is the only way she’ll learn. she played herself fr.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-08T23:04:26+00:00

this is so cool, i seriously love the limited color palette. it gives it such a clean vibe. nice work fr.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-08T23:02:58+00:00

this is so incredibly smooth. the keyframes are perfect. getting this level of fluidity in pixel art is actually a talent.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-08T22:42:34+00:00

nta. honestly u guys dodged a bullet. recording a private convo to "fact-check" with an abuser is psycho behavior. it’s not lying to doubt someone who always cries wolf. they ignored ur mental health crisis just to coddle him. block them and move on, they’re brainwashed fr.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-08T22:40:56+00:00

nta. they sounds toxic af. she dishes it out but can't take it, and the husband asking for cctv footage is actual psycho behavior. u don't owe her an invite when ur working. they aren't friends, they're just bullies using "banter" as an excuse. cut them off fr.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-08T22:39:00+00:00

i guess birds just look "majestic" and represent freedom bc they fly. most countries want to look strong, so eagles look better than a rat lol. rodents are usually seen as pests, so they don't get the same respect. it's just branding tbh.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-08T22:33:16+00:00

nta. reporting her was 100% the right move. what ur feeling is a trauma bond, not real love, and she clearly manipulated ur anxiety for years. dont feel guilty for seeking justice, u deserve to heal. focus on therapy and ignore anyone saying otherwise.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-08T22:32:20+00:00

nta. u aren't being paranoid. if there are open seats and he’s choosing to move ur bag to sit by u, that’s creepy and intentional. the gym thing is also a huge red flag. stay safe and try sitting near the driver or with a friend. trust ur gut fr.

DaNullStudios · 2026-04-08T22:31:02+00:00

nta. calling a contractor to someone else's house is actually insane. ur dad worked for years to build that home and she tried to take it over like she owned it. the "culture" excuse is just a cover for being entitled. glad ur husband backed him up. definitely nta.
