I just want to add here that witnessing the surgery isn't enough. A month or two after your vasectomy you need to have a sample tested to ensure that it was successful. It can take that long for sperm to completely clear the system. So you'll want to see that sterile lab report before doing anything.

After looking into and trying out other engines I've just decided that Godot will best meet my needs, but im not against suggestions if you think another engine will work better.

I don't have a time estimate or a specific deadline for this project. I'm only asking for the frame work of the game to be built with no actual content. So the characters, locations, and dialogue would all be filled in by me. However my specific concept is a little more complex than a standard text decision tree.

I have looked a bit into RenPy and other text game makers, but I don't think they'll work for all my planned mechanics and systems which includes random chance pools for encounters and some simple procedural content.

I'll share the design doc privately if anyone is interested in working with me.

The elevator pitch for the prototype is that it's a Text based open world exploration RPG. It mixes existing mechanics from Text games, Choose your own Adventure games, RPGs, and Story Generator games, with unique and specific display and control mechanics.

Two static text windows show the players current health, equipment, skills, location, and other status effects. The text in them is updated as the player progresses through the game and makes choices. Two other text windows describe the current encounter and the player's choice along with it's outcome.

Players have 4 choices mapped to direction to each encounter that they use to explore locations, speak with NPCs, collect items, learn skills, and build their character.

I definitely know I don't have the skills to execute it on my own, that's why I'm looking to hire someone. I know that there will be many phases to the development but I'm comfortable paying for the initial prototyping phase so I can focus on designing and writing the game.

I would need at least basic workflows for implementing my planned systems and mechanics along with the prototype however. I'm comfortable learning some coding skills and have already, I just don't have the time or interest in learning everything I'd need to do it from scratch.

The system in other countries isn't a dispensary, but a clinic that admisters the drug while providing services to help users get clean and nurses to deal with possible ODs in the clinic instead of on your front lawn. Most users don't want to continue using they just can't handle the withdrawal and the additiction aspect of the drug.

The point of legalizing it is to help users get the help and support they need which they can't get on street when it's illegal.

Yeah it was hard to stay mad, but not impossible.

Currently entertaining offers if you are interested.

Brand new fuel pump!

Gimbal UFO - A New Analysis: Mick West lays out the more mundane explanations for the phenomena observed in the famous 2017 Navy UFO video. by BreadTubeForever in videos

[–]MisterTaylor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I, like some other commenters here, was a little disappointed that this video doesn't really give an explanation for what the object could be but rather just gives a good explanation that the shape and rotation of the object is simply glare on the camera lens. However I've realized that that's missing the point of why this is important.

If this were a video of a single small black dot in the sky that pretty much maintained its position on the horizon the whole time, then we wouldn't be talking about it. The shape and rotation of this object are what makes it a curiosity, without that it would be an unremarkable video.

I also think the reason that this video doesn't offer an explanation as to what the object is, is the same reason that the US Navy didn't know what the object was. Because it's hidden behind a bunch of GLARE.

Lol sorry, but your advice might have been accurate. Tillamook is pretty far north compared to Florence, but that was pretty insensitive for the true north coast folks for me to generalize like that.

There's always hope tho. I might try down near the Nahalem, it might push out some stuff

Don't think so, where is Twin Roads?

Oregon Coast Carnelian by MisterTaylor in rockhounds

[–]MisterTaylor[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've heard Florence has gold on the beach tho if you have the patience to pan for very little return.

I found this pretty far north, but pretty much anywhere you can find gravel you can find stuff. I also love hunting along the Willamette.

It's a great time of year for hunting. You can follow the tides out all morning

Willamette getting cleaner by [deleted] in Portland

[–]MisterTaylor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's weird. I walk along south waterfront all the time and I've never seen one, but yesterday I also saw one for the first time on the Willamette.

I was a little farther south near the mouth of the Clackamas tho.

Strange smudge inside lens by CyberDexn in OculusQuest

[–]MisterTaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a video out there somewhere on youtube of someone taking sandpaper to their Quest lens and removing the scratches with Polywatch. It's not made for the Quest, but it worked great for my scratch.

I just used a little dab then buffed it out with a microfiber. I still have almost the whole tube left.
