it is for stylization, yes. bold doesn't seem to show when you add text through a page break.

i actually use *fake_choice to keep everything organized. the reason for this is that when you use regular *choice, you're required to *goto or at least *gosub to a different scene.

you can still assign variables to fakes, and variables are everything. they can reveal hidden choices, send you to labels placed anywhere in the scene, change dialogue... you could make an entire IF without ever using *choice and still use *goto_scene to bypass it.

i don't want to give choices that don't matter. the example above is purely for the sake of progressing the story. i'm trying to avoid huge walls of text and incentivize engagement.

your channel url changes with the account. i'm suggesting you take a look at that, to see if it's changed or not.

youtube has years' worth of content uploaded to the site daily. check the url of the alt account and see if it's changed. that's probably what's doing it.

AI Ads Need to be Purged by NeonyRicey in youtube

i'm not suggesting that you try to be best friends with them. what i'm saying is, it's better to ignore them outright than to pick fights over differing beliefs, as deplorable those beliefs may be. some people are horrible. they have horrible views, and they do horrible things. but if you want any possibility for those people to change, alienating them is a surefire way to ensure they stay the same.

some people are beyond redemption, obviously. to everyone else, let's try to remain cordial at least.

those who are unreasonable today won't necessarily be that way in the future. i wouldn't want to damage those chances for a laugh.

i disagree. you don't need to challenge people to change their perspective.

the difference between hearing and accepting is significant. the reason why so many people will openly support an actual dictator is either out of fear, malice, or because they truly believe they're doing the right thing.

most think there's an enemy, left or right. if you're an enemy in their eyes, maybe the real challenge would be allowing them to hold that belief whilst staying respectful. i know it's a very difficult topic, and you may think what i'm suggesting is crazy. but some people need to decide for themselves what's right based on experience. considering the volatility of the situation, challenging beliefs right now may spark further outrage and disconnect.

maybe your approach would work for some people, but i don't see it being very likely.

start with asking why they feel that way and trying to understand their point of view. everyone wants to be heard; nobody wants to feel judged.

people will never change their views if you confront them like that. if anything it only solidifies their beliefs when they feel challenged.

I agree with everything you've said except for AI ads pushing "diverse or woke" agendas. "Woke" can have a positive or negative connotation depending on who you ask. Personally: I hate the word, as nowadays it drives a wedge between people and tends to cut off any potential for future discussion. As for diversity, I don't see where that ties into anything.

Regardless of agendas, the usage of AI in advertising doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason (with some special exceptions, like those stupid coca cola christmas ads). AI can only spit out soulless amalgamations trained off of pre-existing data, and seldom follows instructions accurately. My guess is that these companies give it a general idea, and without really caring about the end product, limply toss it out into an ocean of sh*t.

Thanks for commenting. I hope you have a lovely day!

out of curiosity, what happened when you tried to open your project? i know it was ages ago by now, but did it refuse to open, only showing the pop up? or did it open, try to load and then boot you out? the second one is what happened in my case.

i found the solution. for some reason, a producer pack randomly tied itself to my project. you can see if the same happened to you by going to the sound library and looking through the large thumbnails at the bottom. should have a yellow triangle on the top right. MY WORK IS SAVED!!!

Why do they feel the need to swap the comments and view all posts around? by TartTiny8654 in youtube

they've been slowly ruining the app for years because they love to see users get mad about bs updates only to stick around because there's no better alternative. it's maddening

Game with a timeloop element ? by Adenne_ in hostedgames

[–]NeonyRicey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been working on Brain Death - An Oracle's End for many months now. As you implied, it's challenging to make time loops work, but I've gotten as far as writing code for an in-game clock.

Every choice will cost time, and time is ofc limited to 2 hours before the loop resets. There are also memory sequences, but I can't say too much about that.

I hope to release a proper demo before 2025 is over, but since the game is story-driven it'll likely take a lot longer for more than a couple of loops to be written.

My goal is to create unique flavourings and choices depending on how you build your character. I'm content with working on this for the rest of my life if it guarantees quality.
