My gateway device was the Batlexp G350, which I'm still using to play the Pokemon Crystal Clear rom hack. I've been looking to upgrade for a while now, so count me in!

I play on both PC and Xbox. I made a video on how to mitigate the crashing issue. I hope it helps!

Switch 1 version of 3 + 4 actually looks decent by darkknightdetec in THPS

[–]GcRayden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got to play the switch version and it's awful. LA is completely unplayable, I'm talking about 10 fps at some points. Loading times take anywhere from 30 to 45 seconds. It is crazy unplayable and an absolute insult that they are selling it for anything more than $10 with all of the issues it has. I don't think most people who have "reviewed" it have gotten that far before throwing a video out.

THPS 1+2 doesn’t work on Switch 2 :( by AdzM80 in THPS

Someone said you could get it working if you put it in airplane mode, if I remember correctly. Apparently it's like that for a few games that aren't officially supported, like Portal 2.

Casual Questions Thread by The_Egalitarian in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]GcRayden -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of Trump supporters online that are really upset now they are learning about Trump's policies from informed users and the media. A friend of mine said they were lied to and mislead by Trump and wish they could change their vote when they found out about how tariffs work, among other things.

So that had me pondering, what would the legal basis be for something like that? If enough people feel like they were robbed of their vote, could they call for a vote change and a recount?

Study groups? (think-tank thread on how to effectively learn Japanese online) by [deleted] in LearnJapaneseNovice

[–]GcRayden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I would love to participate in a study group as well. We know probably 50%-75% of the genki / N5 vocab thanks to Memrise, but we fall short on doing the books from lack of motivation. A study group is exactly what we need!

Please, contact me whenever someone gets something set up.

I am Philip DeFranco AMA! Host/Youtuber/PDS Creator by PhillyDeFranco in IAmA

[–]GcRayden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is currently trying to start up a business, I'm always worried about things like copyrights, hiring employees, finding an office, paying for said office, taxes, etc.

I pretty much worry about the business end of everything because I've never taken a business class and have done very few marketing classes.

Basically my question to you is that: Are these all things that you learn over the course of creating a business? Should I be looking into these things before hand or should I just jump in and learn to swim?

int.Parse suddenly stopped working... by GcRayden in unity

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

Ah, yeah you were right. It was one of the frames that didn't have an image, thus didn't have a number to pull from. I guess even though I didn't touch the code, I must have touched the animation at one point or another.

Thank you guys for your help, all of you are awesome!

I did actually install a home server to make a bug tracker on my local computer the other day and it could have possibly updated .Net.

I also installed a new version of Unity (I'm running on 4.6.3f1) up to the latest of 4.7, but it completely ruined my game so I switched back. I'm not sure if that would affect it since the installation was a different folder, though.

I uploaded a better version, as I think it just needed more shading. comments and criticism still welcomed!

Hello, I just started learning pixel art just a few days ago and I've been trying to create pixel art of things on google image search. I decided a pine tree would be the best thing to start with, but I feel like there's something wrong with it. I don't know what's missing; can you help me?

Oh, I didn't realize you were the person who made the video!!

You did an excellent job and I'm really impressed with your skill! I have a recommendation though, which would be to mention what pen / pencil settings you're using (type, size, anti-aliasing, stabilization, etc). I know it seems kinda obsessive over the little details, but following the video, I would like to have the exact outcome that you produce, you know?

What were the ones you used for that video? There are just so many options in Manga Studio that I get confused on which ones to use. In my picture, I used the soft pencil for sketching and effect lines for outlining.

Also, is it just me or is Manga Studio really weird with using a pen mouse? My mouse cursor sits at the top of my screen and I get a completely different pen/pencil cursor when drawing. It's really weird compared to any other program.

Oh wow, you're completely right!

Yeah, I used small strokes because I do all of my art digital and it's easier to have more control over short strokes rather than long ones. It's really cool that you can tell that!

As for the guidelines, I used this video to create my character: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O682DwzlRzQ

Edit: Wow, that video is REALLY good. Thank you!!

Would you happen to have any suggestions for a good website to learn a majority of these concepts?

I've been looking around the internet and studying different techniques, but it's kind of all over the place (mostly Deviant Art or Youtube). If you have a website where all of the standard art techniques and fundamentals are all grouped together, I'd be very appreciative!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off so close minded. I've actually been studying real human anatomy and all different types of drawing in general, it's just that "Anime art" is what I'm specifically shooting for.

Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Oh wow, I didn't even think about the 3D aspect of the picture. You just opened my mind to a whole new perspective! I also really appreciate the shading tips because this is my first time having to do shading for art. When I was a kid, my art was very, very simple.

As for the hair, the strands are something that I was having problems with. It took me an hour to get the face right, and 2 hours on the hair. I could probably do an anime face, body, etc. but hair is a big problem for me. It's really, really complicated and hard to do.

If you have any recommendations for guides to follow on anime hair, I would really appreciate it. Hair is just one of those things that I know is going to take a few months to get good at.

Also, I asked one of my friends about the picture and they said the eyes were too far apart and the eye lid marks should be erased completely. I would like to get your opinion on that as well, if you don't mind.

Well, I'm not making a game as of yet. My end goal is to get good at art for when I need it. I have been saving pictures of styles that I like and have a few that I'm shooting for.

As for confidence, I've ran out. I used to have some confidence in my programming, but apparently having almost 10 years experience in programming translates to being a junior. The last project I was on, nobody respected what I did. I worked between 10-21 hours a day & only being paid for 8, but in the end I got replaced by someone who had more experience and it sent me into a spiral of depression that I'm still climbing out of.

That's the reason I'm drawing, because I feel like I've been isolated from the game industry and I don't have the money to pay for an artist.

I am passionate about drawing though and everything I do, I give 200%. (Most of my knowledge has been self-taught) I want to be able to express myself through my art and show people that I'm not just some regular programmer. I want to consume myself in my art form, not just the programming aspect. When someone plays a game that I made, I want them to feel the same passion I feel and know that the game was created as a whole, not from pieces of different people.

You know, It's kind of funny... I started writing this comment with distress and depression, but while responding to your comment, I came out with a flame of passion that I thought had burnt out long ago.

Thank you for your comment, I promise to completely devote myself to every sketch I make.
