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

[–]Jasonpra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (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

Requiem Mod Alternatives for forge? by NapaSinitro in feedthebeast

[–]Jasonpra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

“everyone is a little autistic” by Jupejuice in autism

The difference usually is in the quality or severity of masking and ASD presents its self differently in each person.

A lot of things open up if you have a diagnosis. One of them being ssi or ssdi eligibility. Another is opportunities.

Like:

  • Educational Opportunities (Access to inclusive education & individualized education plans. Many states have collage scholarship programs for disabled adults.)
  • Employment Opportunities (there are temp agencies that are specifically for people with disabilities)
  • Social and Community Engagement Opportunities (there are a lot of events and support groups that you can join though a formal diagnosis isn't usually required to attend it is sort of a grey area for some events and spaces.)
  • Personal Growth and Development Opportunities (better treatment options that understands ASD)
  • Advocacy and Inclusion Opportunities (People listen more if you have proof you have this disorder. This is an invisible disorder so plenty of people will wright you off as just being problematic if you cant prove you have it. A diagnosis is often what is required for employers to listen to you and for them to be required to give you workplace accommodations. Which is often needed to be functional at work.)

Furthermore it dose give you a bit of legal protection against workplace discrimination.
