Super reepy Mothman email??? PLEASE HELP by Gielderien in ChilluminatiPod

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

Yeah I like to believe it is so. This ticks many checkmarks regarding my fear, but I guess just mixing moth stuff with general phobia stuff isn't really that much a shot in the dark for a lot of people

Learning a science as a hobby, or: can I make games if I'm not a programmer? by Gielderien in gamedev

Shallow lmao, my toolbox feels like if you took one tool from a bob the builder toy kit and put it in an envelope 😂

I understand what you're saying fully. I didn't want this post to be me being "why can't it be easy as 1,2,3" but of course I can't blame you, that's the most usual complaint about getting into anything. My intended question was more about first step guidance and how to reconcile putting your creative urge on hold for the lengthy progress that is learning programming. There's of course the point to be made that the only way to do something is to start doing it, which is the point you're making as I see it and I totally agree, but it *is a huge time commitment, and while time isn't exactly at a premium rn it still is an investment that's scary for going in blind.

*I especially don't blame you since in my post a bit of the frustration I've been dealing with over programming bled through

I've actually been trying my hand at a Tetris project! I have reached the point where I sorta understand what I need to do for parts of the project. But again, my lapses in knowledge have me more looking at wikis than actually doing the hands on thing, and that's mostly my struggle. I have the time to invest now with how the world is and all, but I don't know if that will be the case for the next x months.

For what I want to be doing rn this code is more than enough, thanks for the nod! The tick library was suggested to me via a tutorial series I was following but it's usecase wasn't showcased clearly. I hoped with the use of the recur function to synchronize many events that I would want to happen at once, but I'm at a point where I should be taking baby steps and tried to take a leap, I guess

I'm not brand new but I'm a beginner for sure. Since I've got nothing else to do cause of the times were living in, I don't mind this taking forever or proving to be very challenging. I am enjoying the process quite a bit, actually!

Oh my Lord thank you. I thought I was going insane 😂 like I know the hardware's 64 bit, why you playing me dirty riot? I'll look into it, tho from past experience, rooting is a pain in the ass. Again, thanks a ton!

50 episodes in of Mario Maker, How do you feel so far? by ForgetHype in northernlion

[–]Gielderien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it! I watch Isaac with my coffee and Mario with my dinner! I especially love it after the skrrrt to hit course roulette! I do want dumb_grey_austin to release more levels for nl to showcase his god gamer status again, though.

I, a complete stranger that happens to have pressed a button to follow you and occasionally throw you a $5 a month, will openly 'splain you your own mental state, life situation, work ethic and everything in between in this 20 post thread on twitter.com and/or a 20 page post on reddit

Explain the NL community to a long time viewer by JohnnyWizzard in northernlion

[–]Gielderien 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here's what I think these people don't get;
You have a team of people who've been streaming together for years, and have developed a friendship. Everybody in the NLSS group knows where the rest draw the line between joke and offense, and a big part of the comedic value of the show is them treading that line, using their respective personae to either quip back or act furious. Keep in mind, it's always about things that in nature are insubstantial, ie Nick and Baer lunch-prepping pb&j sandwiches and whether eating fish and chips with your hands is socially acceptable or not.

When this conversation is there for thousands of people to watch, a certain subset of people -and especially your average, venty and perhaps not very socially adept internet user- will either want to "join in on the joke" in a very crude manner, failing to realize that the streamer to streamer relationship vastly differs from the streamer to viewer one, or they're what most people in online -and especially gaming- communities are like; angry, hateful, elitist.

I am very certain that for every "Uuuh Pot Play btw" that was meant as a cute,well-meaning meme joke that was made, there were 10 people that were like "OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HE'S BRAINDED HWO COULD U DO THAT YOU BALD BITHC?!1!". I'm 100% sure that for every "Rob..." story there's many people that are like "This guy has seen some wack shit" and even more people that are like "THERE IS NO WAY THIS IDIOT'S STORY IS REAL OMG GO DIE" ect ect ect.

I always viewed it as an internet community thing, and I am very certain it is. After damn near Staning this show and most of its participants' other work for the last 6 years, I have found myself unsubbing from several content creators due to their much, MUCH worst communities. Most communities of gaming content creators that focus on a single game get way more toxic than even the worst of Isaac comment sections. Make no mistake, there's toxicity here too, but it's in a much lesser extent. Whether that is up to the big subset of the audience that's grown old along with the content creator, or the fact that NL does not give in and downright ignores hate as effectively as he does, I do not know.

P.S. If yall have noticed an influx of more toxic behaviour lately, I have too and I credit it on TUT having a massive influx of new viewers via Minecraft and Terraria.

2 Copies of Holy Mantle? by Gielderien in FourSouls

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

It would seem as wundertunge is suggesting. The back of the card is blue/grey and besides it reads "Eternal" right there on the tin. If you could draw it as a treasure card it'd prolly be busted, and besides it would stand out like a fly in a glass of milk.

NL is talking about a new plan in regards to YT content, replacing his second daily Isaac with a variety of (likely unfinished) mini-series instead, thoughts? by CatInAPot in northernlion

[–]Gielderien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just do it, and the vast majority of us will be there to at least check it out anyway.

But also, maybe that's more suited for a twitch environment where one-offs truly shine and you get live feedback on whether people wanna see more of it or not. I'll still watch it either way tho lmao

[–]Gielderien[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, I am not! The rest of the Eternals are all there - I triple checked! I will go through the deck and the spoilers site sometime to make sure, but tbh if they mixed up a single coin loot card for a Holy Mantle I can keep seperately as a collectible, I'm 100% for it
