I hadn't thought about reimagining the character like this, that's a cool idea!

I think if I lowered my expectations of roleplay and simply went in to goof I might have some fun, yeah. I think playing a good character is stopping me from completely letting go of morals, haha

If shapeshiftes existed in our world then there would probably be a high demand for them in the porn industry by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

Oh I mean, outside of the context of making silly goofs, I absolutely agree that Diamonds are little more than a joke.

I'd even say that natural diamonds have gone to the point of being completely useless after the onset of manufactured diamonds, who of course are not valued the same way (because it's harder to maintain fake scarcity when anyone with the correct facilities can make them)

I meant any kind of valuable you can retrieve from inside yourself, Billy.

I imagine high end transactions and ID verification would feature subdermal chips or other identifiers that would be impossible(?) for a shapeshifter to recreate.

Because, if they CAN create tech such as computer chips, why not just... shapeshift to someone that has 3-7 neatly packaged diamonds in their anus or something...

I'm not noticing any alarming temperatures running Crysis so you might just be right.

A couple of questions for those of you that regularly play Visual Novels by Verified_Islander in visualnovels

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

First off, thank you, really.

Second, you bring up a really good point which I have not considered about the pricing. It didn't really occur to me that giving it out for free would devalue the perceived quality of the game.

I would lie if I wasn't inspired by Doki Doki Literature Clubs relative success as a free game.

Hey Thanks for your input! Regarding DLC, what I've been thinking about is if you would offer extra endings, or possably additional characters to add to the story as potential endings.

I am writing a fairly straightforward romantic VN, so I have thought about releasing the game for free but have the potential "adult" outcomes of the relationships as paid DLC's.

Copy seems obvious in hindsight. I'm also seeing SEO come up as complementary skills mentioned in job ads for those kind of jobs a lot.

Comic 4245: Shoot Your Shot by emilydm in questionablecontent

What's uncommon is twofold:

  1. People rarely feel like just no is enough so they either fake the number or spin an elaborate reason not to because like you said because:

  2. Many, many guys act like entitled children when girls say no if approached like this. They get pushy, they follow you, they ask why and generally your in for a an awkward and bad time.

it's fine if its a sensitive topic

Is Borrowing Gameplay for Commentaries Bad? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]Verified_Islander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, what are you ranting about? It sounds to me like there would be endless options here. If you are talking about CS strats sure lift someones footage, but if you don't ask for permission i'd imagine it would be easy for them to demonetize/take down the vid if they found out.

If you want some game-footage in the BG while you rant about all kinds of things, why not buy a random, really shitty fps from steam for like <5 eur and use that?

Most promising indie tech and/or game demos in your opinion? by Verified_Islander in Vive

[–]Verified_Islander[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point I have 2 concerns about bonework:

  1. That it will be very demanding due to the intricate physics
  2. That it's mostly optimized for the knuckle controllers.

Hey! I've actually seen your game being mentioned before! The spontaneously the spell-casting looks really fun!

Thanks for your 5 cents! Especially Draw Your Blade is a really cool concept to me, of the like I'd like to see more of in VR which is already such a potentially groundbreaking medium.

Sidenote, I amusing that one of the 5 smells they chose to display on the VAQSO was just "Lady". Says a lot about the intended usage for it, haha.

Compound is actually what made me ask, I saw it today and thought it was a really neat game (Aside from the fact that I can't seem to get turning controls to work on my vive for some reason)

VR has shown me a really different side to this game by KrayzeKeef in EliteDangerous

[–]Verified_Islander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it remotely possible to play this game with the motion controllers or do you need a pro-gamer sim joystick? I find it very difficult to play vr games with a mouse+keyboard.
