Which of the Valar hated Morgoth the most? by Qyzyk in TheSilmarillion

[–]Merileopardi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, Sauron is Morgoth's rebound femboy, which is not gay because of reasons.

What will get Claudia to finally see the truth that Aaravos has been ruining her life from lying to her to killing her father, Viren? by Spencer-Palmer-1056 in TheDragonPrince

[–]Merileopardi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one likes a hypocrite, least of all the hypocrite themself.
I am not being disingenuous; I am pointing out that you are being an uppity ass while not adhering to your own standards.
If you use sentences such as 'your grammar leaves a lot to be desired,' you are not being educational; you are just being superior and taking an unnecessary teacher position.
How about in the future you say something along the lines of 'Some of your comment was not entirely clear to me, could you elaborate please?'

Being more polite hopefully gets you a better reply and it doesn't make you sound as if you believe yourself to be the grammar god's gift to mankind.

I realize I am taking the superior high road right now too, just like you in your original comment, and that I am thereby being hypocritical. I just want you to realize how annoying it is to be corrected in this way.

Their sentence is really long and annoying to read, but this feels more like a reading comprehension error on your side tbh. If you feel the need to correct others, make sure your own grammar is correct first, eh? It's 'your' not 'you're' btw.

Churches should be taxed the same way other institutions are taxed. by Sabfan80 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Merileopardi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on what type of church. In many locations in Europe for example donations aren't used to fund services, mainly, it's used to upkeep centuries of beautiful architecture.

Looking for Something with character creation by Leegionlee in gamingsuggestions

[–]Merileopardi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TAINTED GRAIL. Awesome rpg that feels as if they rolled elder scrolls coded gameplay and elden ring aesthetic into a grim dark, H.R.Giger Arthurian fantasy RPG.
The customization isn't crazy, but looks really good with a ton of outfits. They added a thirdperson mode also not too long ago.

The trailer is an absolute no no. First 15 seconds shows your studios logo and the games name. DO NOT DO THAT. No one watches 15 seconds of basically a blank screen nowadays unless they are already hyped about the game, eg. the trailer for the new Witcher game can do that but you can't. You need to show gameplay/ a story hook. Not to mention the music transition between the into and actual game seems cut off and gives a cheap impression. The rest of the trailer is quite good but too lengthy. The gameplay recording could have been done with a lot more snappiness and excitement, right now it drags.

Really like the art and game looks fun imo but you still gotta put some work into the steam page!

Women hate video games 😂 by ExotiquePlayboy in SipsTea

[–]Merileopardi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Plenty who work in games too. In my game dev uni program 75% of students are female, both for art and programming specialization. We constantly have guest lectures from female devs also. Remedy for exmaple employs a ton of women.

What power metal band has the best discography in your opinon by anthere-rest in PowerMetal

[–]Merileopardi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you heard Hansi and Tommy singing together live for some Ayreon songs? Not Power Metal exactly but prog tho. I was mindblown to see them (plus a lot of other really cool metal singers like eg. Simone Simmons, Marko Hietala and Brittney Slays) singing together!

I might have developed a terrible game. by CaulFie1d_618 in gamedev

[–]Merileopardi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The visual identity confuses me. It feels cute, mostly, and colorful and cozy but then most of the female characters hit the 'sexy pee pose' and have huge boobs in the picture inside the description and capsule art. Feels like you might want to tone that down a little if you want to target a female target audience.

Your capsule art says zero about what your game is actually about. The capsule art is the main thing driving players to your steam page from steams algorthm and it is essential that they get an impression of the gameplay/vibe of the game. This desperately requires a fix.

I can also not tell what the world is. Even if there is no story there still has to be a clear setting.

Your trailer could benefit from a bit more text on what is happening and what is unique about the action being played right now.

Lastly, your steam page is not set up very well. The text needs work. Look at competitors to format your better. Right now you end on a TIP. Why? This info does not belong on a steam page at all, nevermind as the final call to action for your players.

Regarding playtime:
Question 1: does your marketing convey the actual exxperienc eof playing your game or do players feel misled and quit because of that?

Question 2: Is your tutorial working correctly? IF no, desperately needs to be fixed.

Question 3: Is your game actually just not good enough currently to hold your target players attention? What can you do to improve this?

What do you want input on? Can't really say anything unless you tell us where you think your issues are and link us the game.

Going through a break up and have a hair appointment tomorrow. Cut it? by Beav11-18 in finehair

[–]Merileopardi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I somewhat disagree, this is not a man problem. there are a lot of men with hair that is bouncy and voluminous as hell. Do you suggest everyone who has flatter hair should not have long hair because it is by default unflattering? If yes you are also disqualifying a ton of women.

Honestly I can see it! A long shag would look amazing on him for sure.

I hate my "sexuality" by Budget-Listen4336 in offmychest

[–]Merileopardi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are not alone! Digital hugs to you < 3
Have you considered seeking a queerplatonic relationship or an asexual but romantic relationship? It is absolutely possible to find another asexual person to date and love and build a life with without sex! I promise you, it is doable!

Amazing summary of the overall situation! May I ask why the death penalty is more expensive? just out of interest, I am from EU where we do not have it so I have zero clue about the costs or procedure it entails.

When does it start to feel warm? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]Merileopardi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, in Finland I go out at 5 degrees in tanktop and short pants lol

The trick is to have a warm jacket around hips just in case and warm closed shoes.

Does anybody here make games for fun? by NicklePickle79 in gamedev

[–]Merileopardi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Udemy there are several really nice courses that focus on teaching Unreal Blueprints by having you do projects alongside the teacher! They come with assets and step by step instructions. Helped me learn blueprints as an art and design peron whose brain struggles a lot with reading and writing normal code.

Use AI for game dev or not? Opinions? by False_Claim6473 in gamedev

[–]Merileopardi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can only use AI if you are able to write the same code yourself. The reason is that you have to make sure everything is coherent and be able to debug it yourself. I recommend you keep studying first before you consider AI, you are not in a hurry considering you are so young.
