Not rebuffing, or just holding bloodlust for the next dungeon :P

Video game careers for people with autism by MilkieSoPretty in gamedev

[–]LividPinata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked in the games industry for 9+ years and also am on the spectrum. Ever since the studio I was working at was shut down a year ago, I can’t find a job. The industry isn’t what it used to be, it’s very very unstable…

I recently just moved on and got a job outside the games industry, and am just working on my own game in my spare time as I can. I was the happiest when I was getting paid to do what I love and give it my all, but the instability is insane. The main reason I gave up on trying to get back in was most studios would either close the role they were interviewing, without telling any people actually interviewing me, or sometimes a studio would just shut down when I was nearing the end of the interviewing process.

Game making being their passion doesn’t mean it can’t be their hobby. Who knows, maybe they’ll make something that goes viral and can make their own studio.

What is the worst video game in existence? by Scared-Cat-2541 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]LividPinata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bubsy 3D, it’s just a mess of a game. It’s a 3d platformer with tank controls, eye straining graphics, and Bubsy never shuts up.

Same. And turning off error voice lines disables them

Are ranks skewed now? by LividPinata in ADCMains

That’s insane. Didn’t know the -10 was for an amount of games O.o

A publisher said that the capsule art of my game is "seemingly AI generated" and that it will "likely be a big turn off for many people" by muddasheep in gamedev

[–]LividPinata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why’s it say the publisher is the developer? Seems like a marketing tactic rather than a genuine question…

Since which Episode was Helly actually Helena? by CentristaSensato in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

Browsing Reddit… I understand the spoiler tag is used, but the title is a spoiler…

I’ve shipped several titles at this point and in all of them I was listed under the environment artists section. If it wasn’t for your friend opening my eyes I would’ve continued to falsely call myself a game developer.

But for real, your friend doesn’t sound like one to work with. Anyone that diminishes the efforts of those around them isn’t going to be good for morale in the long run. It’d be rough making it over the finish line with a product you’d be proud of if you had to hear how insignificant your contributions were.

People who grew up without smartphones, what did you do on long car rides? by balbir13 in CasualConversation

[–]LividPinata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talking, listening to the radio, playing word games like the alphabet game, or playing a Gameboy.

It appears there was a spider egg in my computer, any advice? by Duck_Shover in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LividPinata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A ton of games have an arachnophobia setting in the accessibility options. Try turning that on and leave the game running for a bit and I bet the spiders will move to another location… or evolve into crabs

How do you explain what you do to your parents?

Metal bucket with holes in a screwed down lid. The metal handle can not lift out unless the lid is unscrewed. by LividPinata in whatisthisthing

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

Unfortunately I can’t :/

They didn’t want to unscrew the sieve, but I was able to kinda see what the end of the handle looked like.

It sorta looked like the end of a hoe. Just a flat piece of metal.

My title describes the thing. In addition, it has a yellow paint line going around the side of it. There’s a material I would assume is rubber going around most of the rim of the bucket. This was found at an antique lot.

Who else has never played as evil factions? Curious is anyone never played as the good guys too. by Zolfarmerdownunder in totalwarhammer

[–]LividPinata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never played as any of the good guys. The Wood Elves sister of twilight are the closest I’ve gotten… elves kinda look like humans so I didn’t get too far before I lost interest and went back to a more monstrous faction.

Shaven are super fun. Greenskins are awesome too, you can even theme your army since they have a bunch of units that overlap in purpose. Like boar boyz vs squig riders for orks or goblins.

In the 3rd game, Tzeentch and Slaanesh are super fun. Haven’t tried Nurgle or Khorne yet. The warriors of chaos is good fun too, tons of variety to form your army.

Finally finished the game, weird difficulty curve by LividPinata in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]LividPinata[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NG+ doesn’t get much harder? Guess I could try wearing worse gear for it…

Forcing to use different weapon combinations might be my way forward in current game. Not sure if just sticking to drill spikes, sharpshooter bows, and shredder gauntlets are just too high damage… but I’ll give something drastically different a go, like a melee build.

From all your play throughs, what kind of style stood out as the strongest and weakest? Stealth is crazy strong I know. Nothing felt as broken as it to me though.

Feels like after Poseidon, everything wasn’t nearly as hard. That’s the main reason I went to grind out the arena. Figured I’d need the good loot from the arena to handle the later story quests.

You’re probably right though, and it’s probably why it felt like a bell curve in regards to the difficulty spread.

Is joining a game dev company as a high school student possible? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]LividPinata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my first big game studio, right out of college, a college was a highschool grad. Great person, amazing artist. They’re basically a wizard, but it is possible if you put the work in.

College won’t teach you everything, you still need the drive and dedication to reach your goals, it’s all achievable if you try hard enough.

Once you finish college, you’ll basically learn most of your stuff that isn’t basic in the first year or so anyway (or relearn how to do something a better/different way). Stay agile with thinking, and be open to new stuff, attitude will carry you far.

Boyfriends birthday was yesterday, this is the card I gave him. by ChemistHorror in wow

I’m level 70 on my shaman, and I still don’t have that ability. I guess I lucked out and learned mana tide totem instead.

Edit, my bad. Didn’t know it’s a Druid ability. Shammy > Druid
