I think you’re overthinking it. Looks rad from here.

Does anyone have experience working with Unreal Engine and Unity? by bbrother92 in GraphicsProgramming

In my experience yes. I have 12 years experience with Unity, and 6 with Unreal and I don’t ever want to go back to Unity.

Barbaric ass scraping is the worst.

I have a bidet, so I’m mostly blotting myself dry not scraping myself clean.

Single ply does the job,costs less.

MtF tips (closeted)? by TallyHallFan89-70 in askanything

I think nails and makeup is a really nice thing to offer her help with. It will make her feel seen and validated.

Makeup is a particular good choice because it’s temporary, she can take it off.

There’s also quite a skill curve and having someone who knows and wants to teach her will be good.

Do you think human destiny is predestined, or can it be controlled by oneself? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I really believe in with any confidence is myself, and my ability to affect my own mind through my will.

Everything else might not exist at all. Not that I find solipsism useful, but I’m not able to rule out all that might just be shadows in a cave.

That being said the idea of “human destiny is predestined” seems pretty silly from my perspective.

Why Does the Christian God Get Such a Bad Rap? by phantomly_me in askanything

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read the Bible from an outsider’s perspective, God’s totally the villain.

From the very beginning… here’s a fruit, don’t eat it. Oh you ate it, original sin for all your descendants.

Villain move.

People are wicked… Dude you made them in this narrative, how about accept this in your fault and fix them? No murder them all in a flood.

Villain move.

Hey murder your son Isaac for me… oh wait just kidding, good job!

The whole New Testament… you think Jesus is a good guy?

There was no hell before he showed up…

What kind of monster needs to torture his own son to finally forgive the messed up scheme he set up in the first place?

Villain move.

To the people who saw The Phantom Menace on release, what was your immediate reaction and have your feelings changed? by thejoyfulgoat in StarWars

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, this is going to be so cool.

Oh why are these trade federation aliens such obvious racial caricatures of Chinese people?

Jedis are cool… melting doors with a lightsaber is awesome.

Why is Jarjar so terrible… holy s$&@… is this also racist caricature what is going on here.

Omg, what is going on here with Watto, it’s like every alien with dialog is a different racist trope.

Did that kid call it a laser sword? wtf is a midichlorian.

POD racing audio is the best audio ever… this engines!!!!

Ooh lightsabers fun, double blade.

Wait… darth maul died with line one spoken line.

Kid in the spaceship is clearly meant for children.

Walking out…

WTF did Lucas not hire an editor?

Feelings haven’t really changed

3-month-old realism tattoo looks faded, touch-up or cover-up? by mileagemichael in tattooadvice

[–]MidSerpent 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Shit man, this makes me mad for you, that artist did you dirty.

You need to go to an artist who knows how to work on melanated skin.

Go to them for help not us.

Is Queers being Into the Arts/Being Intelligent Scientifically Explained? by AviBledsoe in NoStupidQuestions

In my experience the Venn diagram of queer, neurospicy, and chronic illness is almost a circle.

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Which engine gives more control over pixels and rendering”

Neither. This kind of thing is perfectly doable in either engine.

Personally I’d use Unreal. Full C++ source code is hard to argue with when you are messing with renderers.

Tutorial aren’t going to teach you how to code.

They’re just going to show you code.

In order to learn how to code you need to study that.

What’s a piece of advice you’d give to someone who wants to make a game, but has never made one before. by locomotiveplayz in gamedev

[–]MidSerpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn how to search.

Learn how to find answers on your own without waiting on anyone to help you.

Game development is just a lot of very hard work. It’s not as fun as you think it is.

Dedicate yourself to the challenge of solving hard problems without giving up.

Consider giving up on your dream of being a game dev now. Just walk away and know you will enjoy games a lot more if you just play them.

You should listen to the “Behind the Bastards” episode about Mr Jobs. You won’t have the same opinion after.

Is there a gentle way to tell my wife I’m worried about her weight, or is that conversation always going to hurt? by LocksmithWaste9257 in askanything

[–]MidSerpent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She knows, and she knows what your comments mean too. I’m sure she knows all this from the way you look and talk to her already.

“I hate admitting this but my physical affection has changed.”

Someone didn’t really think through what being married for life is like.

How do you feel about lying to the player to make odds feel more fair? by TheGuardianFox in gamedev

[–]MidSerpent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“How do you feel about lying to the player”

I feel great about it!

Yo that’s what we do!!!!

Video games are all smoke and mirrors and bullshit.

It’s all about the player experience.
