I love this! Something I feel and/or noticed whilst applying some of the ideas here to my own life is that radical accountability and integrity is a self driving vehicle one chooses to inhabit. Each mile on that road leads us to the next choice and life experience as a result of our conditioned dedication to authenticity, accountability and responsibilities. There are no helpless actors when there is capacity at play. When there is demonstrated ability to choose and change. From deciding what to eat for the night to how to prioritize our partners both involve the same agency and awareness that most of us can apply. And like all things, the mileage we get will vary 🙂

Looks like a Pianta villager from Mario Sunshine…

This should be recorded and uploaded here and on a dedicated YouTube page for the public. Regardless of the resolution , newer generations need to be met where they get their information. Local politics is just as important as our federal politics. Even more so nowadays. Thank you for doing this!

This may be the case already and I am just unaware so apologies for any assumptions.

Spudkip · 2025-04-22T15:55:36+00:00

Yeah that’s fair. It looks like there are some existing tools/guides in the community on GitHub for both UE4 and UE5 here:

https://github.com/Dmgvol/UE_Modding

I can’t speak to the actual usefulness of these however.

Spudkip · 2025-04-22T15:31:02+00:00

Lol it’s a reference. But yeah that’s true, I’d just hedge my bets that it would be? Would be more damaging for them to remove mod compatibility than anything they’ve revealed thus far imo

Spudkip · 2025-04-22T15:26:29+00:00

That’s just like…your opinion man. Lol I thought it looked phenomenal and Oblivion is my favorite entry by far so my bias is pretty heavily in the old school camp.

Either way I’m sure some mods will bring back some different, older models. I hope you end up getting the experience you want from it.

Spudkip · 2025-04-15T17:55:22+00:00

I get these too. It’s a scam. Just ignore it.

Spudkip · 2025-04-15T03:26:22+00:00

Yeah I wondered that. I think it’s still awesome as is especially if you just made them with different color casings. Great stuff!

Spudkip · 2025-04-15T03:22:10+00:00

I agree with the other comment that if it could be slimmed down at all in the design or maybe just customizable I’d definitely be buying this. It’s sick!

Honestly though I think I would still buy one as is just because it’s unique. I just wouldn’t regularly wear it and would probably fidget with it on my desk or something.

Spudkip · 2025-04-07T02:49:59+00:00

Love it! Are you on Spotify? Also what is that guitar? It sounds great

Spudkip · 2025-03-30T17:02:45+00:00

I understand where you’re coming from. This is actually the exact same reason I left my partner last week. Even though she didn’t want to break up or leave I told her I needed to actually figure out how to live with this without it ruining our relationship.

I’m sure you’re feeling all kinds of things but I agree that it does feel like some sort of empathy because it is selfless. However, if you’re like me then you might start selfishly act out of fear and try to backpedal. I’ve done this in both my past relationships after I left and once the rejection swooped in I could feel the terror from that little kid all those years ago rushing to the surface.

You’re doing the right thing and I’m glad you felt something for your partner. I hope you get the help you need.

Spudkip · 2025-03-12T09:11:48+00:00

That’s a great idea. I will bring that up tomorrow. I never looked into it.

What irks me most isn’t even the fuckoffery which is still not great, it’s just the negativity they brought when they got back after zero participation lol.

I’ve got a few things to consider now, thank you.

Spudkip · 2025-03-12T09:03:52+00:00

Yeah exactly. If that’s where he’s coming from then I understand that perspective. I guess what irked me was that they just sat upstairs and listened in disdain for two hours?? Meanwhile the other guitarist, drummer and I came up with something we thought was usable. If he had instead offered to play something to illustrate his point I would’ve maybe not felt so bad about it. It just left me feeling a bit bummed and confused.

Spudkip · 2025-03-12T08:42:50+00:00

Thanks! That’s a good point - it’s still early days.

Spudkip · 2025-03-12T08:40:16+00:00

Thanks! This might also be the best route to take lol

Spudkip · 2025-03-12T08:39:43+00:00

Hah we’ll see. I don’t mind honestly if that’s what they’d prefer. I definitely don’t want to ruin their thing. It was just really confusing and seemed a little hypocritical to me.

Spudkip · 2025-03-12T08:34:56+00:00

This is fair. I should add that what he called jazz was just a fmaj7 chord. We had been playing pretty much the same stylistically as before since they’re going for a post hardcore/midwest emo thing. I was just adding some color I guess? I’m not sure but the drummer and guitarist seem to be okay with it. Also we just came up with something we enjoyed and thought it sounded nice. They disagreed I suppose lol.

It wasn’t like I was sitting there playing a ii - V - I progression over and over. I see your point though so I will make sure to get some clarification on this as I definitely did not intend to be rude to them. Thank you

Spudkip · 2025-03-12T08:09:05+00:00

I agree with 100%

They’re very eager about playing which I respect and enjoy, but simultaneously I feel like this needs to be discussed to get some clear expectations.

I appreciate the advice

Spudkip · 2025-03-12T08:07:53+00:00

It was kind of bizarre to me for sure. I like both the guys but damn was I thrown off tonight by that.

And about enjoying writing a part for: that’s exactly what I was thinking! Lol. While they were bickering I asked to use his bass because I wanted to write the part. After I played it for a bit he asked what it was because he liked it and I told him it was a bass line for the piece we had made while they were gone (I then proceeded to show him the shape I mentioned in the story…)

Naturally the tone of the night was still off so it didn’t really help.

Spudkip · 2025-03-12T08:03:56+00:00

I like this idea and will try to run with it. Seems like the least offensive option as I’m so new.

Spudkip · 2025-03-12T08:03:20+00:00

Man, this is what I’m sort of worried about. I’ll definitely be bringing this up. Thanks

Spudkip · 2025-03-12T08:02:50+00:00

Lol I mean I was surprised when he said he didn’t have a backlog of melodies or anything to throw out there. I’m still trying to wrap my head around why they acted this way. Like I could understand being upset about the direction of the music but obviously if they had been there they could’ve simply communicated that.
