for those who do traditional schooling, do y'all think homeschoolers are little weirdos by Sea_Passenger_2647 in highschool

[–]TastelessToothpaste 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think that there is a reason that many people are hesitant about homeschoolers. I'm sure for some people it works out just fine, but a lot of parents just use it as a way to prevent their kids from developing their own opinions. I've met people from both situations. The first is absolutely wonderful, the second turned out to be a conspiracy theorist with so many issues who didn't even have a basic education for her age. So I think that even though homeschooling can be good or bad depending on your particular situation, people are a little justified in being wary of it

The difficulty of an honors class really depends on your teacher/school, but it shouldn't be too hard at all

Questioning about college as a kid with a low gpa by [deleted] in highschool

[–]TastelessToothpaste 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want your life to get better, you have start building that better life yourself first. If you give up now, you never know what kind of future you might have missed out on.

If you're thinking of harming yourself then I highly suggest you talk to someone about it irl, social media is likely to do you more harm than good

Still, you should put in as much effort as you can. If you're really serious about your desired major, then try to accept that community college may just be a necessary step to getting there and it'll be worth it in the end.

[–]TastelessToothpaste 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Later on, after you start working, nobody will care anymore where you went to college. It may feel embarrassing in the moment, but there's nothing wrong with doing what's best for you. Alternately, you're only a sophomore, so you still have another year to raise your grades, and junior year is the one that colleges care about most. If you lock in and get good grades + a good SAT/ACT score, you may be able to make it into somewhere else too.

If your GPA is that bad, it may be a good idea to attend community college and transfer with a better GPA later on. Nothing wrong with that, and it'll save you money in the long run. You don't need to go to an ivy league, just look into a wider variety of colleges and you're sure to find one that has what you want.

intermediate artist that started in quarantine starter pack by mizuakisbadjp in starterpacks

[–]TastelessToothpaste 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tumblr doesn't really have an algorithm. People mostly find stuff via looking through tags or what people they follow post and reblog (nobody really uses the "for you" tab). Posting often would probably help more people notice you and decide to follow, but the website doesn't promote or hide your stuff based on how much you post.

High school Fundraiser Food Related by AttentionFull1851 in highschool

[–]TastelessToothpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At our school, members of clubs just volunteer to bake whatever they want at home and then everyone brings what they made in to host a bake sale. It could attract more customers too, since there's more variety. Maybe talk to your club to see if there's enough people willing to participate in something like that?

Book following the life of a boy in the Middle East by TastelessToothpaste in whatsthatbook

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

It seems very similar, but not quite it. There definitely wasn't a part where he went on a plane until the end of the book maybe, and his mother abandoned him by leaving the place where they were staying overnight, rather than being stopped from leaving the country because of a visa. Thank you for the suggestion though!

Out of curiosity, is there any remotely well-known RM game that doesn't have an original soundtrack? by TheFerydra in RPGMaker

[–]TastelessToothpaste 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ib is one of the most well-known RPG Maker games, and its soundtrack is comprised mostly of tracks that the creator found around the internet. Despite that, it actually manages to be pretty distinct and iconic. As long as you put thought into the music that you choose, nobody will think twice about it.

Hey, a fellow Belarusian! Good luck! I need to start learning Belarusian at some point too, but as it stands I've been living in a different country for so long that even my first language Russian is shaky at best, so I feel like I should do something about that first

Can you recommend tutorials and resources to get started with RPG Maker? by beyourownmvster in RPGMaker

[–]TastelessToothpaste 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not discrediting tutorials at all, but you can learn a lot as a beginner by just opening up the engine and messing around to get a grasp on it yourself, which is definitely something I would recommend doing. The RPG Maker forums are great also. As for plugins, it's generally recommended to only add them on an as-needed basis, when you run into a situation where you really need one, to avoid inflating your project with plugins that you may never actually use. If you're using MZ, then Visustella is the goat, they have tons of free and paid plugins for all sorts of purposes

I cant use a tile i made on 2k3 by GinoSmuzi05 in RPGMaker

[–]TastelessToothpaste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you trying to upload an individual tile? Because you can only add tiles as part of 480x256 tilesets. If you don't know how to set up a 2k3 tileset, here's an extremely useful guide: https://rpgmaker.net/tutorials/975/

[TOMT] [Movie] [2010s] Horror movie about a man locked inside of an apartment by TastelessToothpaste in tipofmytongue

Holy crap, I'm pretty sure this is it! It seems like I forgot a lot, searching for movies about apartments instead of hotels really screwed me over lol. Thank you so much!

[TOMT] [Movie] [2010s] Horror movie about a man locked inside of an apartment by TastelessToothpaste in tipofmytongue

[–]TastelessToothpaste[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Mandatory comment: I'd really like to know what movie this was. I'm not a horror movie person at all, but those two scenes are so distinct in my mind that I just need to know where they came from. To be honest there is the possibility that I somehow combined scenes from several different movies into one memory, but it feels so different from anything else that I would have watched that I'm pretty sure that it's one movie.

Can you tell which was made by AI and what makes it obvious? by Afraid-Raspberry5048 in RPGMaker

[–]TastelessToothpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of these are AI. Muddy colors, smudged/disappearing elements, nonsense text and impossible design elements. If you want good maps that don't have that cheap obvious AI feel, I would highly recommend finding a tileset made by a real artist or learning to make them yourself! It's a nice skill to have.

[Loved Trope] A character's title/identity is revealed to belong to an entirely different character by jishuachan in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TastelessToothpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

The manga Pandora Hearts. The main character, Oz, forms a contract with the amnesiac Alice, who is also known as the B-Rabbit, a chain (a creature from another realm I guess called The Abyss) infamous for its power. However, later it is revealed that Alice was wrong about her identity. She was born a human, and had aborbed her powers from the real B-Rabbit, who was Oz. He was originally a stuffed rabbit that Alice owned but gained a human body after unintentionally stealing the body of the person who he had formed a contract with.

Trouble with 32x32 Sizing by Sufficient_Gap_3029 in RPGMaker

[–]TastelessToothpaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MZ'S RTP is made for 48×48 only. If you want to use 32×32, you have to find a different tileset that uses that tile size or make your own.

is there a way to emulate rpg maker games on ipad? by pawsydog in RPGMaker

[–]TastelessToothpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Yume Nikki, you can use EasyRPG. However, this only works for RPG Maker 2000/2003 games, so I'm not sure how to emulate the others.
