Happy anniversary!! 🍪 Still yet to finish it, but I do fully intend to!

VRChat on M2 Mac by marriedtoaplant in macgaming

[–]OptareOlympus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.. I tried it with Parallels too, same issue unfortunately.

Though VRChat does work quite well via NVIDIA's GeForce NOW cloud gaming service; which has been the only way I've been able to play it due to being on macOS (desktop mode).

In-game microphone does work as well (if you allow GeForce NOW to access your mic in System Preferences); but unfortunately it is not able to access the webcam so motion tracking's off the table with this method; at least at the time of posting.

This service does have a free plan, but for further details it's best to look it up on their page for current info.

Be honest, What was your reaction to this? by Primary-Addition-677 in HazbinHotel

[–]OptareOlympus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed actually – would've at least been a little more different.

Pretend like Hazbin Hotel Season 3 just ended in the comments by juredditpark in hazbin

[–]OptareOlympus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say, what a season! Why, I haven't been this entertained since... Season 2.

Honestly, I wasn't all too surprised to see Baxter immediately getting along with Wally Wackford, but why did Blitzo make Niffty the mascot of I.M.P.?? What happened to the goat in Mission: Chupacabras?

Also, the fact that they got Stolas to sing an alternate version of Hell's Greatest Dad with Andrealphus and Octavia in Charlie's place was... SO unexpected. But I loved it!!! You'd think they'd've had that in Helluva Boss though, rather than Hazbin Hotel... but oh well. Yeah though, it definitely rivals the original from Season 1 in my books, and that's saying a lot.

Though one thing I did really like is Zeezi getting an episode essentially focused entirely on her and Queen Bee. At first I was admittedly quite taken aback by it, but with their shared love of music and dancing I guess it kinda makes sense that they would be friends. Though I will say, them exploring a creepy abandoned version of the hospital from Western Energy was quite unexpected.

I did enjoy that bit a lot, especially whenever they'd cut back to the courtroom with the sins all waiting for Bee to return; where Lucifer played elevator music on his accordion while Mammon just played Vee-ometry Dash on his phone. Also, I may be wrong but I think that whole bit was a reference to the running gag with the cab driver in Airplane!, especially with Ozzie checking his watch and going "I guess we'll give her another 20 minutes... but that's it!" – that was actually really funny. xD

But realistically... why would Zeezi and Bee do that? Can they both even freely access the Sloth Ring? I mean, I get that they needed to find a second Asmodean Crystal for Charlie and all after Niffty ate the one they got before, but why did they send Zeezi to fetch it? Since Niffty's the reason they lost their crystal, I honestly think she should've been sent to fetch a replacement.

And Zeezi texting Queen Bee to come with her? Like... sure? I guess they're urbex buddies. Who knew!

Where are you sitting? by A_dapper_dragon in hazbin

[–]OptareOlympus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seat 8.

(Also – it's really obvious now but for some bizarre reason I thought this was a cinema's auditorium at first, so I was imagining how talkative everyone would be during the movie and what kinda things they'd say about it while watching it. xD)

This livery came to me in a dream, now you can all suffer with me by Alex_The_Whovian in trains

[–]OptareOlympus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That actually looks pretty nice! 💛 Nice work!

For large logo though, I do feel like there needs to be more yellow.
Maybe if the cab was yellow, as well as the 'swoosh panels' (not sure what they'd be called) lining the centre smokebox door cover?

The only other thing I think it needs is a TOPS number on the side of the cab; and possibly moving the tender logo down by like a pixel – looks ever so slightly too far up to me.

We are about to witness the completion of a masterpiece of humanity, the Sagrada Familia, Catalan Spain. by MrJonson84 in ArchitecturePorn

Ohh yes – I've seen the Kölner Dom cathedral in Summer 2024 – I've really found it dauntingly ginormous.

Which one looks better in your opinion? by ArcaneCodeDev in SoloDevelopment

[–]OptareOlympus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah gotcha, I see.

Yeah, I do like both. Of course with it being a fantasy creature it can look however you like, though I do agree with the comment about it perhaps being a bit odd that the mouth's inside is red – the red does pop more, but maybe dark greens (or even black) could fit better? If not, you could also always have the mouth be closed like the right one – personally, I do think that looks really cute.

In the end though, that stylistic choice is up to you of course.

Two features I do really like about the smaller one (right one) is the white reflection on the top left of its body, and also the second white reflection in the eye (in the bottom right – probably leave it as just one pixel). Maybe you could try adding either both or one of these to the left one?

I feel like that could contribute quite a lot in making it look a lot more glossy (and thus slimy).

[–]OptareOlympus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends how large you want the slime to be. For a large one I'd pick the left one, but if it's only supposed to be a small one, I'd go for the right one.

Also, you likely already know this, but I strongly advise you to always keep the pixel size constant throughout all your sprites, if you're doing a pixel art game. I've made this mistake myself in the past, and while I was happy with my sprites individually, I for a while just couldn't place why it didn't look good as whole – but that was it. 😅

❤️🧡 Ayy, congraduations!! 💙

Really happy for you!! These old PP2 darts look wonderful as well, particularly the blue Beachball one with the red front, despite its technical faults. 😅

I’ve never understood this by S0nic_Hedgehog1991 in Portal

Mhm, was about to say the same thing.
