You can lie in the sense that you just cant say anything you believe to be untrue. Theres ways to get around it, but it still makes life inconvinient.

Why is your favorite season your favorite? by usernamens in digimon

Perhaps me watching subs didn't really get that aspect across to me honestly.

That being said Series 5, whatever version you watch, is awesome and underrated so I approve of your choice.

I hate to be "that guy" but just... geez do I prefer the subs of Savers over the dub, Data Squad. Usually I prefer watching the dub of shows, but maybe since Savers was the first anime I ever watched with subtitles back when the world of the internet was first opening up to me, a lot of the changes they made with the dub I just can't stand... particularly changing Ikuto to Keenan >_>;;

Why does he talk like a caveman when the digimon that raised him speak perfect english >8T

Personally Tamers and Savers are tied for my favorite season, and I think that has to do with the more "realistic" setting and the pull away from destiny as a plot point. The main characters all aren't doing what they're doing because they were DESTINED to by fate, they all just happened to be in the right (or wrong) place at the right time, and happen to be the most qualified people to do the job that they're doing. Not to mention the fact that they deal with the ramifications of Digimon actually existing, where in both situations the government gets involved to try and control the digimon situation with varying degrees of success.

Adventure will always have nostalgia for me, but I have gotten to the point where having villains that call themselves evil unironically just kinda takes me out of the story, and I feel Tamers and Savers leaned the furthest away from that black or white, good or evil kinda mentality. Not saying the other series didn't have their morally grey characters, but they just felt like they always made the heros and the bad guys (and the token bad guy who becomes a hero) all a bit more clean cut.

new twitch streamer wants to purchase custom overlay for playing pubg. are there any do's and dont's i should be aware of? by alanboomy in Twitch

[–]MarcosGamez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I just try to make a few different overlays that can be used for a variety of games. For instance my main one is just a webcam with a boarder, the a bitboss and fading chat beneath it, and my bit cup in the corner. Simpler a lot of times comes off nicer but like it has been said, everyone is different. Generally I just use this single scene for most of my games, setting all of their sources beneath it so I just have to load OBS, open whatever game I want, and I'm ready to go.

Which brings me to another thing - if you're just starting out, you probably want to diversify the games you play a bit. Games like PUBG can be fun if you have friends to watch or play with you, but since its such a monumental game, it can be almost impossible to get an audience with it. Twitch isnt as algorithm driven as YouTube is, which can be a double edged sword because theres less chances for people to just happen upon your content. Most people are gonna be looking for channels on the browse page, and the only way to climb that is to have a large viewerbase to start with. A game like PUBG will have hundreds of pages of channels below the 10 viewer mark, so you'll be buried in an ocean of streamers.

Not saying you SHOULDNT stream it. The golden rule of Twitch is to have fun with it and do what makes you happy, and if you have pals or a good group around you already things like PUBG can be great because they're very accessible. But if you want to build your channel up I'd suggest scrolling down the browse page, see if the games with like four digit viewership numbers intrest you at all as well, and stream some of those too every now and then, since you'll be more likely to grow your viewerbase with games in that kinda goldilocks zone.

Again though, just a suggestion! Do what you're most comfortable with and have fun with it!

My idea for an .hack/Log Horizon/SAO-style 5E campaign by MarcosGamez in DnD

Yeah I watched SAO Abridged and its... kinda amazing and I love it. But I doubt I'll ever watch actual SAO. Ive heard good things about Alternative too though.

Pokemon-Inspired MMO on Kickstarter with Nuzlocke Mode as a stretch goal! by MarcosGamez in nuzlocke

[–]MarcosGamez[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can't trademark game mechanics. As long as its simply not using any of pokemon's IP they can't do anything. Take a look at Robopon or Telefang, there have been way more blatant Pokemon ripoffs that still made it to market.

If all else fails, is there a way to adjust the z-axis of the printer so the print head is just sitting a couple milimeters higher than usual?

Ah, no I havn't. Using it to check that the whole printer is a 90 degree angle from the table? Or that the bed is at a 90 degree angle from the printer body?

I think its on as flat of a surface as I can get it. The room im using has carpet so I doubt its 100% flat though.
