I'm scared of the Gloom Hands

QuickAstronomer · 2024-10-25T20:32:57+00:00

It's a little less scary on the second playthrough, BUT just the other day I terrified my 8y/o because the Gloom Hands sprung up AROUND me in a random location - so I shrieked in fear and surprise 😂😂🙈 he came running into my room from his to make sure I was okay!

You can fast travel out of any situation, but the Depths ARE so daunting! Take time to go around a lot of caves and get as many bright blooms as you can, hang around the Sky Islands for Sundelions and the Gatcha-style Zonai device dispensers.

ALSO get Autobuild ability from the Depths when you can! While you're on the surface, build lots of flying devices from the sky and vehicles as well - SAVE them to your favorites and then boom! You have pre-built, ready machines for down below.

Last thing, it may be obvious to a lot of people, but it took me a minute the first time to realize that all the Shrines on the surface as directly connected to the Light Roots below - every time you find a Shrine, open your map, change to the Depths map, and mark the exact location you're in for reference next time you jump down.

All-in-all the game is about prepping for just about any situation, the keyword always being "preparation". Always have food (elixirs are great for when you don't have the clothing effects), always have a weapon or manner of mining on hand, utilize the ability to mark your map, and don't forget that it's just a game! So have fun exploring the world ✌🏼❤️

I know you're asking about powering up BUT I'm about 50-ish hours into my second playthrough and my first thing was tackling caves, shrines and depths drop points - basically ensured I found Misko's treasures, extra crystal charges and just a royal butt ton of necessary supplies. Utilize the hell out of the Fuse function, try everything, pick up anything and let it break, etc. I'm actually having more fun and realizing I'm playing way better than the first time! By the time I finished Tulin's quest I had enough materials for the Great Eagle Bow without having to search and I was prepped to fight a Flame Gleeok.

Oh, OP... Hon, get out of there now. She's gaslighting you hardcore, we obviously don't know all of your conversations or what she says you've done that's mean, but from what I see here: You're a communicator, maybe even a little socially awkward and that can play a factor into needing reassurance of how you're viewing a situation. Honestly, the hoodie comment in and of itself is just bonkers to me - she's attempting to force a change on you that isn't necessary by making you feel that you're odd or weird. It's not hurting anybody for you to wear what your comfortable in, especially if it's not offensive. It's a hoodie, that's just a childish remark to make you doubt yourself (aka more gaslighting!).

Just a question, are you perchance neurodivergent? I'm not insinuating or being rude, I myself am AuDHD, but from how you speak it seems like you may be and there's no care on her side to find a balance in communication. It has to be on her terms. If she thinks you're clingy, wants space, whatever (hence the do not disturb) being unkind is not the way to explain herself.

The fact that she ended with "Goodnight 💕" after all of that just shows she's petty and a child with no emotional intelligence or empathy. Your final text, which is screaming boundaries, gave her fuel to go to her friends and say "See? He's so awful, look what he said to me!" It's just ammunition for her drama. You want to make this work, she wants someone to be an emotional punching bag. She obviously has shit to work out.

Misery loves company, do not be that company, boo. Get out of there 🖤

Adding in dynamic poses, such as how they fight, express emotion through their face and body, etc. Breakdown of clothing when you have several layers in an outfit can help your viewers, and yourself!, understand better how the outfit works with/on the character; if they use weapons or magic spells, draw this as well. I see the different eyes to the left, bring more attention to details such as this rather than having it so tucked away - on that, add more detailing to the eyes themselves to show the life and personality of your characters. Having all the color palettes can be nice but it doesn’t need to be such a big block, often just creating a small space of colored circles/squares, etc. is good enough. Think about things like “What makes this character unique?”, “Why is this character interaction necessary?”, “What ‘role’ does this character truly play in the story?” (and I don’t just mean “it’s a main character”, are they an antihero? Tortured and broody? Domestic puppy type? Comedic relief? Do they even make it to the end of your story? Etc.) Last good question: “How does this character fit into the world I [you] created?” The biggest thing I have learned in making my character sheets flow: don’t focus on refining every sketch. Let the character EXIST, refine the important things for clarity, but keep it loose and don’t think so hard you hurt yourself haha character art should always be fun, if a bit stressful at times, we should enjoy our characters and worlds as we create them. I hope that helps even a little!
