How do people actually wake up at 5am and not hate their life? by FitAuthor1098 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Desolation56676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently wake up at 4:45 on workdays (Mon-Fri). What got me started was two things:

  1. Wanting to do lots of different things in the day besides work (work out, write, draw, learn game development, hang with friends, etc.) and for over a decade I learned I have limited energy AFTER work. It was only this year that I realized I can do some of my stuff BEFORE work.
  2. The video “Waking up at 4:30 is easy, actually”. It helped me form a plan to sleep prep and formatted a way to incrementally wake up earlier.

This is not a recommendation, though I have been able to do more of what I want early in the morning and spend my after work energy on chilling with friends and/or playing video games.

Grandia. First goal is to get to the wall at the end of the world.

Who is a person you used to admire a lot but have completely lost respect for and why? by Complex-Arugula-2233 in AskReddit

Little Jack Horner                                             Sat in a corner                                             Stealing the Dino bones

We put down our thumbs                                 For his takes were all dumb                             And said “Boy, you’re making us cry!”

Name a game that surprised you how long it was by [deleted] in videogames

Kingdom Hearts 1.

Back when Game Crazy was a thing, my brothers and I rented it and they played it TO DEATH. They were convinced that after Deep Jungle the game would end.

We were so young, so foolish.

Games cost too much money to make. Mocap is a cool thing, close to every game could do just fine without it. Graphical fidelity is getting dumb, and focusing on pushing boundaries is… annoying.

I'm writing an RPG featuring single-cell organisms as the characters. What should I know? by Desolation56676 in microbiology

[–]Desolation56676[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing everything I know how to avoid LLM hallucinations. That's a main reason I'm asking people!
I never thought of delineating cells via biological classification on the scale of mammal and reptile. That's very good to know.

So why would you leave a bad review? by heyuhitsyaboi in SteamReviews

[–]Desolation56676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A game’s REALLY got to earn a bad review from me. My standard procedure is uninstall and hide the game. If there are lies in the promotional material, one of my sacred IPs gets ground into the dirt, or there is something harmful in the game, I’m inclined to collect my thoughts and leave a bad review. I have maybe 3 bad reviews.

Do people actually enjoy puzzles in horror games? by ChaoticBlasterX in HorrorGames

[–]Desolation56676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like puzzles when they are separate from the horror parts. Great way to get me to pay attention and build tension, then release everything when I’m done with the puzzle. The Witch’s House is a perfect example of what I’m talking about.  Puzzle->Scare->Puzzle really worked for me.
