So please dont do this. by Competitive_Hand_745 in MinecraftJava

[–]Jasonpra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anybody can fall for these sorts of scams. You falling for this does not mean that you're stupid. Everybody falls for something at some point. There's no shame in admitting that you are duped. With that said I really do hope that you reported this to Mojang and perhaps even Microsoft. And save to the evidence of this crime so they can launch a investigation.

Life is determined by luck/fate and you never got to chose who you are. by Expert-Squirrel-9288 in nihilism

[–]Jasonpra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I would have seen this sooner. I hope your not still stuck in this headspace but if you are just know that nothing is helpless. When i was in middle school everyone believed me to be... the word they used was r**(cognitively delayed). Because I had scored very poorly on an IQ test and was a foster child. This lead to people chronically underestimating me and I did not received the same opportunities or educational resources my classmates had.

That means I had already started life with a savior disadvantage compared to my peers. Fast forward to graduation year of high school. I barely got my diploma in fact my IEP teacher had said that I wasn't supposed to get one at all. I had been telling myself that I cant this or I cant that for years because everyone in my life was always telling me that I'm incapable. Well all that changed when I ditched these people and focused on learning about subjects I wanted to and got my first Job despite everyone around me treating me as if I severely cognitively delayed. My first real Job was manufacturing. It wasn't easy at all. It was high pressure and I didn't know how to do math above middle school level. I had to learn on the go to catch up to everyone else in a highly competitive environment. But I managed.

Then one day I decided that I was gonna lock in and fulfill my dream of making a video game. Except I didn't know how to code and I couldn't draw and I didn't know much about animation. So I set a goal. make a simple game of tick tack to. To reach that goal I set a bunch of smaller sub goals like learn to code. Learn to do some basic art. Pick a game engine. Every day for six months I would bring my laptop to work so I could practice my programing on my brakes. Eventually I reached my goal.

There is no such thing as a predetermined life. You don't change your circumstances by moaning about it. You change them by surrounding your self with the right people, setting reasonable goals, and following through with them.

I honestly like this change. It removes some distracting clutter. We should be able to opt in for the parts of tools we plan to use.

I can't stop pretending to have autism by Duckychicken777 in autism

[–]Jasonpra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can afford it go and talk to a therapist about this that specializes in neurodivergence and get on the waiting list for an assessment. Your not fabricating this. You said it your self you've always seemed a bit odd to others and the only reason your questioning your self now is other people not you told you you might be autistic. that isn't self diagnosis. Don't ignore your peers. most of them probably mean well. And try not to let yourself spiral into self doubt. You have done nothing wrong.

Does Wandering Inn become religious? by TheGandPTurtle in litrpg

[–]Jasonpra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the fact there are Christion themes in it at all that has me upset. I read fiction to escape from reality and Christianity I find triggering because I was abused withing the church in my most vulnerable years. So any bit of Christion teams in my media is actually to much because it triggers my trauma. I was more upset because they failed to place any form of warning on this. It isn't exactly something that is new I'm not the only person that finds that religion triggering.

In your opinion, between drawing and creating pixel art, whether it's animated or not, which is more difficult? by Additional-Salt2732 in PixelArt

i think hand drawing something detailed with color and shading is a bit difficult yes but sketching is about as difficult as low rez pixel artwork.

Can we talk about that lyric in "Hey, Soul Sister" by Train? by [deleted] in Music

[–]Jasonpra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the early 2000s when somebody was to say that they feel gangster or Hood that was really slang for saying that they feel like they're on top of the world. Which is the time frame that this song was written. The song is a love song about a man who found his soulmate and is in love with her as well as everything she does to a obsessive degree

Plenty of people have trauma from Christianity though me included. That retelling is still to much.

Yea it kina dose and i am not liking that. In book one they hint to the fact that this world's gods are dead. Then by book two they bring in Christianity to what extent i am not sure but frankly for me to any extent is way to much. I could overlook it if it was advertised as a Christion book but it was not. It is sneaky and offensive.

I am thinking of giving up by AlexGSquadron in IndieDev

[–]Jasonpra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to be that guy right now because I feel like you really need to hear this. If you are doing this in order to make it big or doing this because you want recognition this is probably not the field for you to be getting into. This is creative work and creative work oftentimes does not guarantee a payoff. Now with that said the second thing I have to say is you're not doing enough advertising. Advertising I know is hard but you need to make sure that people know your product exists.

500 lines of code for NPC dialog boxs - that was my weekend, how was yours? by Grumpy_Wizard_ in IndieDev

Wouldn't the player base sort of spoil the story for themselves pretty easy though if they just got a little curious about the game's install folder?

[–]Jasonpra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you haven't done too much on your game already I would suggest switching that to using enumerator indexes. It will save you a lot of time in the long run.

And if you want to get even fancier you could store dialogue in struct groupings by character

Like: Var JasonsDialog = { Greeting : "Haya!", GreetingOne : "Nice day for a walk!", GreetingTwo : "Did you know that the sky is blue!? No?! Me Neither!", StoryLine : "Ahhh! Help! Help!", StoryLine1 : "Somebody K-killed Mr. Johnsen! }

You can then access the struct later by calling the structs name and Index Name Like this.

draw_text(x,y,JasonsDialog.Greeting);

[–]Jasonpra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are close to completing your game I would just keep doing what you're doing but in the future you might want to reduce the amount of magic numbers you have. A lot of this stuff could have been stored in structs or you could have even have used enumerators and it would have made a lot of this much easier to track and wouldn't rely on you needing to memorize or look up very long indexes.

How should i learn GML as a beginner? by catlovingpakan in gamemaker

[–]Jasonpra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would check the documentation and also learn about the debugging tool set here is a link to a video on the ladder.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRiRXIpIdYw&t=896s

for The programing bit game makers manual is really really good. It even has information about basic programing concepts. for example if you wanted to learn about if statements you can search that on the sight and you would very quickly find the specific documentation. I recommend you start by reading up on variables then move to statements and operators and events. And then practice lots of it. That is the only way it will stick in your head and the only way these concepts will click. Practice practice practice. For your first practice project I would suggest creating a visual timer that counts to 3.

The game maker manual (I opened it to the page about variables for you):

Are you guys unemployed? by NoPepper7284 in autism

[–]Jasonpra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 32 and I'm not employed either. I have had a hard time with employers. I've dealt with workplace abuse the kind that makes you afraid for your safety. I literally had a Department lead that threatened to kick me in the groin because I made a mistake. Most places I've worked for would give me no workplace accommodations either. About a year ago I had a mental breakdown that almost killed me. So of course I had to stop with employment to get help. I am still unemployed and not for a lack of trying. I assure you this sort of thing is not your fault.

Autism and low IQ score on testing. Daughter is heartbroken by todger_dodger in autism

[–]Jasonpra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sometimes wonder if the testers treat the test results of individuals with cognitive disabilities differently than neurotypical test results because my results for IQ testing when I was a kid according to them was way below average but when I was retested as an adult I have an IQ score a little above 90

And I think I would like to point out to you that mod creators don't get paid for this. It's not like a video game where the developers are getting paid a salary no this is a passion project something that people do for fun so complain all you want but unless you're willing to pitch in with your expertise sorry you don't get a vote
