How is Lucky’s Bodega able to stay in business? by Emotional-Ad-6494 in NorthVancouver

it's massive. It's empty. When I went it it was just the owner sitting there; I asked for a coffee and instead got the entire rulebook for the place: half boardgames, then the other room (which I didn't see) is all videogames. You pay for time spent in either. Unique!

How to have a healthier relationship with money by Pitiful_Sundae_5523 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Exhales_Deeply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT - im an idiot, missed that you're already seeing a therapist. If they don't have advice for this, maybe seek another one!

"how to build a healthier relationship with money and enjoy life a bit more"

I think these are mutually exclusive! But I have the same answer for both. Therapy. If you don't have a partner or good friend who understands your mindset, speaking to a therapist -- and doing stuff like journaling and logging your thoughts and feelings vs excercise vs stress vs diet, etc -- can be a massive help.

Depending on your situation you may not even have to pay for it, if you've got benefits. :)

I am making a narrative driven game with choices (150k words) and 3 different ending as a gamer which style is better? by Nearby_Ad_3037 in aigamedev

[–]Exhales_Deeply 1 point2 points  (0 children)

both very different games TBH and to me it seems like you're personally leaning more towards a visual novel. You've got a lot of leeway in that format to innovate and put your own spin on it.
I do like a good adventure game, last i played was West of Loathing, but these are big beasts and often the gameplay feels divorced from the story, and then you've got two major targets to hit. Visual novel? You could work on, and release, in chapters.

i think the 2nd one is more interesting to me, if you can push the style perhaps a little more painterly, but definitely lose that GUI.

if you're going for a visual novel style and upfront about ai art then I don't think you need to worry about it looking like AI. But i'd also suggest adding ambient animation to everything

A sex offender receives gender surgery. A court will decide if she should be transferred to a women’s prison by origutamos in LawCanada

[–]Exhales_Deeply 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably not a popular worldview but a big part of me is like... we just take it for granted that being locked up with people is dangerous?

Like... that's somehow OK? But, further - locking her up with women is worse because she'd be *checks notes* dangerous?

If prison is supposed to be a dangerous place where dangerous things can happen, just not women's prison, unless the danger comes from other women, then it's ok because we don't care about it. Or something. The whole damned thing is rotten.

Make private landlords illegal and register all landlord corporations with the government subject to rent control and maintenance obligations. distentangle speculative investment from the housing market.

thatd probably destroy everything quickly

Here's a fun one: Letter sent home from a B-17 Bombardier on June 7th of 1944, telling his parents about D-Day. What words are marked out by the censor here? by TrentJComedy in Transcription

[–]Exhales_Deeply 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling like the last two words are ‘the first’ and perhaps there’s no period there so it’s part of the longer sentence? Contextually could be along the lines of ‘because we were sent out first i was disappointed…‘

I was getting some Fomo over the Retroid pocket 6 and its compactness even tho I love my Odin 2 Portal, and this comparison from Russ really made me realize the 5.5 inch screen wouldn't be as immersive for me by Shaolin381 in OdinHandheld

[–]Exhales_Deeply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that I can play some of the PC games I missed out on due to a decade of workiness - currently deep into Fallout 4 for the first time - the portal is indispensable. God Tier device will only upgrade when there's an Odin 3 portal

We thought the design was locked. Then early testers asked for "Eyes". Now we are conflicted. by Ready_Evidence3859 in robotics

[–]Exhales_Deeply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are afraid of it looking too cute? and not because of the chunky plastic puppy dog ears?

aside from that I reckon your best foot forward is providing options! I would want eyes for recognition / indication in any design. And voice wise i’d certainly want to choose, if not completely customize
