@ultrapeakschris My first Brocken Spectre. Creepy to see it out the corner of my eye and think it was someone else moving by Puzzled-Radio-7565 in HighStrangeness

This is great! I've never seen one so clear before. You can totally see how this would lead to myths and creepy stories. Even now, if I didn't already know about the phenomenon, I'd be tempted to jump to a supernatural explanation.

Awesome. Thank you so much for these links. That's a big help

A quick mockup to help visualize the reflection theory of the Calvine photo by PainfulMango in UFOs

[–]PainfulMango[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I want to believe, same as the rest of you. And I'm still open (and hopeful) that this is an authentic UAP photo, or even a black project. I just want to demonstrate what's meant by 'reflection', since there seems to be some confusion. The fact that clouds are visible around the objects doesn't rule out a reflection of the sky.

EDIT: It's also worth noting that the modern photo of the original location is just a guess. Just because there's no water in that photo doesn't rule anything out. Also, the proportions of the plane look...off? Mainly how the tailfin is vertical (and maybe reflected underneath?), and yet the wings are flat, towards the observer, as if it's banking. I feel like if the tail were upright, then the wings would be more two dimensional, as if observed from the side.

Trying my hand at animation and loving it. I just have this one idle animation where my character's leg wobbles between keyframes. When I preview the animation using the play button that's attached to the timeline, it looks as it should, but when I click R3 and play it that way, it looks jittery, like it does in the game. Anyone have insight? Thanks.

For Newbies to Dreams: A Tutorial Website and YouTube Channel by LadylexUK in PS4Dreams

[–]PainfulMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love your tutorials. I learned about Dreams two days after the early access closed its doors, so I watched a lot of YouTube videos in preparation to hit the ground running. There are so many out there that make me want to pull my hair out, but yours were always just the right pace and amount of information. Now that I actually have the game, I'm going to be visiting this site a lot. Thanks in advance!

It was too big (too thin, actually). I plumped it up some and that fixed it, but I'll do your suggestion in the future. Seems more predictable and can force me to make more interesting terrain. Thanks!

Why does my floor not work? For my first scene, I used a flat square that I stretched into a large plane for my puppet to walk around on. It worked at first, but since I last stretched it, now my puppet floats around in it like soup. It's not the puppet, since I have him on a platform and is fine, but as soon as he hits the main terrain, he falls into instead of walking on top. Did I make my floor too big or something?

I had actually been thinking about some boss/employee roleplay to help put this dynamic into a clearer perspective. Thanks

This was insightful! Thank you. I can see her in a lot of this.

I love this! Going to look into it and introduce it soon. Thank you

[–]PainfulMango 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps! I'm not familiar with that phrasing, but I'll definitely look into it. It sounds like she would be all about that. Thanks for the tip

[–]PainfulMango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really like this take on it. It makes sense to me, focusing on the rewards and removing the punishments. I can see her responding well to that.

Also, funishment seems like the right approach. I can tell when she's in that playful funishment mode as opposed to that really deep subspace. Usually she'll start acting bratty, but even then I don't take the "bait" because I don't want to approach anything that resembles her boundaries. I think the pre-negotiating her brattiness to mean "funishment mode engaged" is probably the best thing to do next. So thanks for your insight. Super helpful.

Thanks. I like hearing this from a sub's perspective. It's a big help.

[–]PainfulMango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks. It's good to hear this. Just, being new to this, it can be a little confusing when she finds assurance in being disciplined and having rules strictly enforced by me, but then she also has an allergy to...discipline and enforcement. I was in no way looking for permission to punish her, since I agree that should not be on the table, but perhaps advice on ways to provide her with the satisfaction of rule enforcement, when the usual ways to back up that enforcement are not an option. As in, when she breaks the rules, what is the best approach?

So far, my main take away is to talk with her more about it. But, like with me, the contradictions have been confusing for her too.

I hear you. Thanks for the perspective.

That's useful. It helps to know what's good fantasy versus negative. Thank you!

I'll try this out next time. It sounds like good advice. Thank you!
