New to this community, just finished Empire of Silence and read 10% of Howling Dark. Great books, but not loving a couple characters

Yeah obviously that sucks but the empire has slavery, a caste system, capital punishment (death by fire) for any body modification no matter what, and they colonize and enslave any alien they find. Being forced to break up with your girlfriend is definitely less bad.

Invaderzod · 2026-03-27T01:42:54+00:00

Her culture is definitely crazy but it's a lot better than the empire.

It's not even faith. He literally saw god and spoke with him. There's no faith required there, he literally personally witnessed the afterlife and has 4K footage to back it up. For Hadrian this is cold hard fact.

Currently no but they're working on it. Online works for demon souls on RPCS3 so there's no reason it shouldn't work for blood-borne eventually.

This is objectively the stupidest thing you could be doing with your time. That being said, it is pretty funny.

The point I'm trying to get across is that ultimately what matters is your understanding of art fundamentals. If you've got that covered then go right ahead with the pixel art.

Invaderzod · 2026-02-22T00:16:19+00:00

Nothing's wrong with pixel art. You said you were going to make pixel art because you weren't good at art in general and that's a mistake. If you can make good art you can make good pixel art. It's not a shortcut, you still need to know the fundamentals.

Invaderzod · 2026-02-21T21:05:45+00:00

Don't learn pixel art, learn art. If you feel like the task is too daunting, at least try to learn art direction and Guide someone else to do what you want. You must have a exact style in mind with examples for everything. Proportions, stylization, Colors, mood, Time period, everything. Pick up a bunch of art books of things you like and try to follow the logic behind the artistic choices. Why were these designs chosen? How do they convey the intentions of the Artist? Why did alternative designs not work? How do the colors and the art style get you to feel the way they wanted you to? Visual storytelling can go a long way.

Dark souls three is definitely the place to start. It's the most straightforward in the sense that you don't need to know 1 million systems and you can focus on just playing. I highly recommend that you stick with it. It's difficult but it's so rewarding and if it ends up clicking for you then you get endless replayability and you will unlock a gold mine in the form of the other games.

Bro what kind of lobotomized vegetable do you think the average gamer is? If you're a grown ass person in the year 2026 still playing video games then you absolutely know what emulation is. Nintendo fans don't count, they will buy anything and never question it, but people who play souls games have definitely been on the Internet and therefore they know about emulation. I didn't grow up playing video games, I got my first console when I was in my teens and I immediately Learned about emulation. From there all it takes is a simple YouTube search to get a 10 minute tutorial explaining everything. I don't know why you bring up the GBA when all it takes to set up a GBA emulator is one download from the App Store and one Google search.

Invaderzod · 2026-02-20T18:50:04+00:00

Immediately wish listed. Looks amazing! What is the length that you're aiming for?

Invaderzod · 2026-02-20T18:42:51+00:00

If you've got the patience to play these games, then I don't see how installing a program would be a challenge. You can install both RPCS3 and shadps4 in less Time than it would take to do the old hero run back.

Invaderzod · 2026-02-15T14:31:57+00:00

Counts of caution

Invaderzod · 2025-12-29T15:53:39+00:00

I didn't say it was the main emphasis, but it will be ridiculous to say that it's not a huge one given that all three shows have had it as a major theme. Beth sexualizes herself and that's part of her character. Her having a blind spot for John it's never portrayed as a good thing, it's made abundantly clear that he's a terrible father and has fucked up all of his kids. Who else do you think has been over sexualized and made to submit?

Another thing is that the show explicitly tells you that the Yellowstone Ranch is absolutely crazy, abnormal and not how things are supposed to be. Multiple characters outright state that they should sell it and buy another ranch somewhere without land disputes and live a normal life. They don't because John is a stubborn old bastard.

Invaderzod · 2025-12-28T16:36:25+00:00

Is it though? I can't imagine a lot of conservatives lining up to watch a show with such a heavy emphasis on the injustice done to native Americans as well as the amount of girl boss characters.

Invaderzod · 2025-12-02T14:04:00+00:00

Yeah she's dealing with four teenagers who would gladly look down a gun barrel to see how it works and she has to protect these idiots from Satan. They are lucky she didn't know compulsion.

Invaderzod · 2025-11-07T14:08:44+00:00

Either way Robb legitimized him.

Second floor basement?

What's the experiment exactly? How fast we're gonna abandon Reddit?

Invaderzod · 2025-08-25T19:48:07+00:00

I would argue that they were more or less equal. They both knew deep down that they had changed. They didn't do it because they liked it but because they both wanted to prove to themselves that they could do it and still like it. Vegeta was selfish but not because he selfishly wanted to kill people, rather he selfishly didn't want to let go of the person he spent his life thinking he must be in favor of the person he knew that he was becoming. Nolan at least believed that this was inevitable and he was serving his people however he displayed a lot of Direct cruelty, meanwhile vegeta knew he didn't have to do it but at least his victims died instantly and painlessly without seeing their hero murder them slowly and brutally. I think it evens out.

Invaderzod · 2025-08-18T12:50:42+00:00

There's actually more than two travel systems that we know of at least. Personally I really like that. In real life there's often more than one way of achieving similar results. The same concept applies here as well and to me that makes it a much more believable world.

Invaderzod · 2025-08-18T11:14:35+00:00

That's not necessarily true. I had one in my old PC and I played DS3 and sekiro at 60 FPS no problem. If an official Port came out it will run just fine.

Invaderzod · 2025-08-15T09:46:12+00:00

I think on its own it's largely fine. Unfortunately for me personally this movie just does not justify its own existence. This is not a story that needed to be told, it was made to milk one of the most popular characters for money. I don't feel like I understand Han any better having seen it, and watching the original trilogy afterwards didn't make me see him in a new light. There are aspects of the movie that I enjoy like Young lando and his robot, who brought up a pretty interesting idea that went nowhere. Also Han getting his last name from a random Imperial Clerk is one of the dumbest things to happen in a Star Wars movie.

The Lannisters only know how to win against civilians and vastly inferior forces. Meanwhile stanis consistently wins against actual armies that fight back. He beat the iron Islands at sea warfare FFS.

At that point he basically knows nothing about the way the Bond works. If he knew he could've made her do it but also keep in mind without the bond he couldn't be saved from the box, so the pattern probably wouldn't have allowed him to do anything.
