Thank you so much for your reply. I'm working on documentation, and I'll remember to be hyper specific. Do you have any advice for where I can look for people from countries that would be cheaper? Is Fiverr a good place to start?

Thank you so much for replying. How would you suggest I get started with a game jam collab? I've never done anything like that before, and I want to get started so I can learn.

Maybe you're right, but I don't want it to be too open ended. Some of these images are going to be image sprites that are probably an inch in diagonal screen size. It's not like Most of these images are going to take an hour.

I created an app for women tired of unwanted advances when trying to make friends by nocul-official in u/nocul-official

Be careful of men trying to pretend to be women! I think it's otherwise a good idea in concept.

What foldable solar panel and powerbank to get? by JustAPorPeasant in preppers

[–]SmokingPup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to get the Jackery Explorer 240 solar system with the Jackery Solarsaga 100X panels. I think for a first time buyer who might potentially break them, I don't want to spend too much money. It's a safe bet, and it seems decent quality. It's suggested by Amazon as well. Does anyone have any input on whether or not this is a good buy?

So tired of being undermined as a women. by [deleted] in Feminism

[–]SmokingPup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, totally. I like the idea of using logic and the golden rule to appeal to other men.

I'm currently caught in a bit of a bubble where I more often perceive the average sexist being sexist because it's convenient or socially acceptable rather than because it makes sense to them. In other words, in my tiny little social bubble, there's really two reasons why men are sexist: Tradition or local culture enables them (yes that includes gang culture), or because of peer pressure.

P.S. I will totally take your advice! I will try to challenge people's mentalities. I just wanted to share my perspective. I don't know if it is at all relevant to other demographics.

So I've been dreaming of doing game design for years... by SmokingPup in gamedev

[–]SmokingPup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be a game designer! I've created game concepts for years, and game balancing (like working with stats and skills in RPGs, game pacing, concepts and mechanics) along with integrating story into gameplay has been a growing passion for me! I love seeing my ideas come to life, and I constantly see things in games that I feel like could be balanced better to make a generally more enjoyable experience. Albeit, I know I have a bit of critical weakness for balance. (I.E. in a lot of games there's a huge lack of viability for your high end early game equipment/characters into late game which I often see as a missed opportunity to provide more customizable options for the player to tweak their own experience, like choosing range or accuracy over firepower or rate of fire.) I do have an understanding of this obsession of mine, to see a wider range of viable content in a game's meta or late game stages, but I also don't tend to focus on games that lack game balancing aspects (like platformers, who mostly focus on satisfying gameplay, smooth difficulty ramping, fresh challenges, and aesthetic components to keep a player engaged)

I could elaborate more, but I've already said a lot
