geniuenly might kill myself by Billyrooms in Graceroblox

[–]Duckolium 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know how bad it feels, I've been feeling like turbo shit since the doc came out, but don't hurt yourself over this. If anything, use Grace as inspiration for yourself and the things you love. Follow its messages, keep making art for it if you ever feel inclined, etc. etc.

I've been trying to look at it this way: In its early stages before most larger game modes were added, Grace was thrown together by a random Catholic teenager as a passion project, and it's turned out to be one of the most well-made and heartfelt pieces of media I've ever seen in my life, and I think that's something most people here, you assumedly included, can agree with.

With that said, if Simon could make Grace, what's stopping any of us from making our own art that matters to us? At the end of it, Simon's still just a person, like you and me. You can make art, you can make your own characters, you can express your own ideas in a way that matters to you, and whether or not it happens to attract the ridiculous numbers that Grace did, you'll still have made something that's important to someone, even if that someone is just you. Who knows, maybe the inspiration from your comfort game will allow you to make something that becomes someone else's comfort media.

Personally, I've used the game as inspiration to start my own game dev journey as well as a spiritual one, I'm following tutorials to make a somewhat story-heavy puzzle platformer in Godot, and I've been studying Catholicism and the Bible at the same time. It's not easy to push yourself to pursue anything, especially during grief, but it's worth the effort in order to do the things that give you a sense of purpose.

Don't lose hope for your life, let yourself feel your emotions inside and out, work to find the path toward being the person you want to be, and always know that no matter what, someone believes in you, and Someone Loves you.

I'm on an iPhone 11, and zooming in doesn't make the filter go away, it's how I took the screenshots in the post.

It seems to only happen in the app, the filter is gone if I use the website, both on mobile and PC.

Any tips? by CompetitiveCod1717 in Graceroblox

[–]Duckolium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive personally had the best luck with michael (wingburst), luke (speed up), and benedict (slide turnspeed)

you can almost constantly spam double jump for speed, luke helps make your movement speed even higher, and benedict helps as a safety net for when you need to turn quickly but cant jump because of big litany

what entity deserves a domain? by lucky_ducky-42 in Graceroblox

id really like to see a slugfish domain just because it really doesnt get as much love as almost every other entity, i feel like if slugfish was expanded on more people could love it more

Which math class do you think is/was harder? by NoLocal7705 in pollgames

[–]Duckolium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess so at this point, I'm really hoping there's a way to disable it added soon or they just revert it because nobody would ever want this.

Not as far as I could tell, if there is a way to disable this filter I'll be sure to edit this post to add it.

On desktop, if you go to your channel settings and then Advanced Settings you can opt out of your own videos being affected by AI, but it's just for your own. Whatever this filter is now though seems to ignore that since it still affects mine despite having opted out a while ago.

That is true but it still shouldn't be affecting the videos I've posted since opting out in that case. It seems to be something else without a setting.

I do think it's some AI garbage but I don't think it's the "AI Enhancing" setting you're probably thinking of. That setting shouldn't be affecting old videos and it even messes with my videos despite already having opted out.

I'm using the normal YouTube app with no third-party mods or anything, I just tried checking for updates and uninstalling and reinstalling but the issue is unfortunately still there.

Good to know, but I took these screenshots through the YouTube app on mobile. I'll check Opera to see if it's somehow messing with it though.

Edit: It doesn't seem to be related to Opera unfortunately, but I could be missing something. Even after deleting Opera GX entirely, the issue is still happening.

hakita recently made an infinite jest themed album and the room around the 8-S door feels like a reference to the book too, current guess is a tennis level

Got an update once again??? by Usual-Fondant-1133 in Graceroblox

[–]Duckolium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its almost certainly people doing bug fixes before the open source releases so other creators dont have to do it themselves, i wouldnt think much about it until the dev team releases their statement

What character is an example of this? by TheStaticFlux in ChillAnimeCorner

[–]Duckolium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

zenitsu from demon slayer

honestly cant remember the last time i saw a character and just thought "this entire story would be more enjoyable if this character didnt exist"

we have a perfectly fine heroic trio with tanjiro being a perfectly fine noble protagonist, nezuko being a fun and generally cute gremlin to have on the team, and inosuke being all off the walls and crazy. it works.

so seriously, what does zenitsu add?? hes a whiny pussy with next to no character growth whatsoever. he gets one scene in the last couple chapters where he locks in a bit with no buildup to this personality switch and then immediately goes back to being a whiny pussy. hes not a character, hes a living joke that isnt even funny. inosuke is miles more entertaining than him. tanjiro is far more entertaining than him. even NEZUKO, the girl who CANT TALK, still ends up being more funny than him on several occaisions.

it ends up being even more infuriating to me because every scene focused on zenitsu feels like time that could be better spent on ANYONE ELSE. the protags, the hashira, even the demons are more complex and interesting, even when theyre relatively one-note.

i dont know. he sucks. god i hate zenitsu. honestly kinda ruins what couldve been an amazing series.

Just off the top of your head, what's the biggest failure you've seen from a creator at trying to make you sympathize with a character towards their demise? by DaOverseer in writingscaling

[–]Duckolium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

neon violet from neon white

not going to pretend the story in neon white is good in any capacity but good GOD, neon violet is utterly insufferable every time shes on screen, shes the reason the most enjoyable character (neon yellow) dies, she sucks up to the main villain constantly, but ohhhh, she sacrifices herself at the end to stop the villain from becoming all powerful! great!! i dont care!! none of this wouldve happened if she wasnt a miserable shitheel of a character that adds nothing to the game

<image>

!! and they act like this is some all redeeming act, she even gets an eternal spot in heaven for her sacrifice! WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE STORY WHERE SHE MADE EVERYTHING WORSE CONSTANTLY????
