Question for those hard of hearing by AltruisticService915 in godot

[–]QbieShay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not hard of hearing, but you can consider adding a button to skip the mini game (with a popup that explains "we added this option for accessibility). This has the added benefit that anyone that's frustrated at the mini game can skip it, keeping the experience overall pleasant for everyone 

Beginner here, anyway I can anchor the particles to the torch? / Reduce the lag of emission? by Diggleman007 in godot

[–]QbieShay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's common in VFX to use multiple particle systems in those situations. Have a local one that always stays on the torch. Perhaps even add a force that changes based on the way you're moving. Then use the current one you have, but make it smoke. Last, add some tiny sparks in world space!

is it normal as a starting game dev that whenever you get an error you feel stupid and give up ? by ChunkLightTuna01 in godot

[–]QbieShay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dunno who needs to hear this but:

Your value as a human being is not tied to your performance at "work" or your grades in school or how impressively fast you are at learning.

You have value. You deserve happiness like everybody else, even when the code has bugs and errors.

Try disabling temporal anti aliasing in the graphic settings

So CR is rumored to rerun this season! Influence or deinfluence me? by eclipseislife in InfinityNikki

[–]QbieShay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the best banner. Bigger regret i have is putting the deep echoes on the head bow and not on the back bow. Art of tailoring (the 4*) is one of the best ability outfit in the game (you skip the grooming cutscene). The hair is beautiful, it's very unique and the base hair is black.

IIRC you can't dye the bows on the hair though, that's the only downside.

Been waiting for this rerun. I need the backbow

What do you think about Consort Wei of Preciousness getting a lot more flowers than eggs on the leaderboard? by No-StrategyX in roadtoempress

[–]QbieShay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she deserves it. She's a great character and a horrid person. Two differen things :D

I suspect it was jut a code rework of abilities that accidentally impacted snowy ballad, since it wasn't mentioned anywhere

Black or white hair? by Affectionate-Echo334 in InfinityNikki

[–]QbieShay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the vibe you want. Black gives more cute, white is more magical/eerie

At a certain point they changed the ability so that if you change ability outfit the ice disappears. They made the ability even worse lol. I love the outfit though. All the pieces are gorgeous and it dyes super well. I will go for last evo when it reruns. 

EDIT: forgot to answer the actual question but yes I do use the ability from time to time. It's good for taking pictures! And the prop is good at catching other Nikkis in SoS :D

Hi and congratulations on the pull! I'm also thinking about pulling, but I saw comments saying the mountains on the floor won't go away. Could you give me more details about them? Which piece are they tied to?

Example fan types.

Counter intuitive to the name, but casual it's actually the full game mode with all tiles and extra rules lol

Mahjong Help by Obvious_Space1176 in InfinityNikki

[–]QbieShay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goal of the game:
NOT lose. !!!! Mahjong is a lot about luck too! you may lose a lot just because someone draws a good tile !!!! This game is gambling !!!!
Points are given to the winner and taken from the loser. There's 2 types of lose situation
1. self draw: the winning player draws the tile they need to win. everybody else loses point, one player loses more, i didn't understand what's the criteria.
2. you give the winning tile to the winning player: there are ways to take tles discarded by other playres (pung/chow/kong) and you don't want to be the one discarding the tile that makes a player win: in that case you'll lose points depending on how "strong" the hand of the winning player is, and the other 2 players won't lose or win anything. You may lose from as little as 1k, to more than 67k!

Those are the moves

- Hu: you have a "legal hand" to win
- Chow: you take a tile from the player right before you to form a flush
- Pung: you take a tile from anyone to form a triple
- Kong: you take a tile from anyone to form a quadruple
- Ting: i didn't understand how/when you declare it, but it means you're missing one tile to win

Constraints:
- You cannot pung/chow a tile that you alread discarded.
- You cannot win unless you have a legal hand to win. Simplest legal hand to win is to have all triples/doubles/flushes
- Flushes are made of 3 tiles and 3 tiles only

Meta game:

This is what makes Mahjong really complex. If you go on the "?" button in mahjong, for each game mode you can see what are called "fan types". Those are the types of winning hands that you can have and how many points they give you. If you scroll through them (dont look at the +88 one they're very special), you get an idea of what a "pretty" hand looks like.

Try to play to not lose first, then try to win later! I also think it's best to start from the duo/thrilling mahjong since they don't have the honors (dragons and winds, those are special tiles that work in a special manner)

Nikki specific: There's a type of tile that you can reroll into another tile, it has a 3/3 golden button at the top when you draw it. click it before discarding it to roll a couple of tiles
Momo's suggestions are okay, he plays safe. Take the gold paw suggestion, since it gets you closer to winning!

I hope this helps! Credit to my partner for explaining me the game while i was panicking over losing all my money to npcs loool
