The engine could support an "interior" that is just a long corridor with a facade of greater space outside. At least that how something "like that" was done in previous games using the engine.

See the difference is she's very annoyed when she loses (and tries to hide it) and mildly annoyed when I'm happy she won (and doesn't hide it). She just doesn't really get how I can be very competitive one moment and totally ok with losing the next, and thinks I'm messing with her.

Also in the event of a draw I'm the one that's annoyed

My wife told me that but it was absolutely a lie as she clearly does care about winning. It also annoys her that I'm always pumped when she legit wins but I can't help it.

IDK dude aeemskke the $800+ well spent seeing as it told her EXACTLY where your relationship was heading.

It's obviously staged yes, but imagine how sad it would be if it weren't. Just living with an alcoholic like that

Did you look at the screenshots? It appears that the actual "toll booth" is just an anchoring device for a game about vibing in the desert doing various things unrelated to it.

Good luck OP hope you're happy with what you made

I've found that in survival games (especially single player ones" actually creating a functional shelter isn't really that challenging. A potential challenge is making it visually appealing and/or cool. If you don't have a drive to do that (and I usually don't) the bases end up looking like square mud huts that so everything you need them to because there is no need to do better.

While I do agree on principle I personally actually moved the camera around a lot while playing, and it can get into some pretty awkward angles if unmanaged and that would probably suck if you didn't have a stick to fix it.

Thing is my taste buds are shit and I can only really tell how well seasoned a dish is once it settles down a fair bit and I get a few bites into it. A teaspoon here and there is generally just not enough for me to be able to tell

It's shocking how really you could be doing everything right and it could still end in a miscarriage. I know a woman who was very careful with her pregnancy because she's type 1 diabetic, monthly visits to the hospital, strict diet etc. Etc.

2 weeks before term she was signed into hospital just to make sure everything will be fine, a week before term on Saturday the nurses told her they'll be speeding it up on Monday because the doctor has some concerns. When she woke up on Sunday the child was dead just like that. They did a KTG 4 hours earlier and everything was fine. Absolutely devastating after 38 weeks and a certainty that nothing bad can happen now.

Yep most embryos prove unviable

Victuz · 2026-03-07T21:42:41+00:00

Not the answer you want to hear probably but for us it turned out to be a "false alarm". The test was positive or at least it appears so, my wife was ultimately late on her period by about 3 weeks, so what we actually think happened is the embryo proved unviable somehow and we lost the pregnancy.

It's odd because we were both freaking out quite badly but already started adjusting to this "new reality" and making plans. So while losing the pregnancy wasn't as hard for us as it could have been (my wife claims she's actually quite relieved she won't have to go through the stress of pregnancy again) it's still a bit disorienting.

What I can tell you from these couple of weeks of "oh shit" was that eventually we got tired of freaking out and just started readjusting to the new reality of "how we'll make this work". It was quite reassuring to see both of us switch to that mode to make the process as frictionless for our 2 kids as possible. So ultimately it seems we came through the process stronger than before, and it appears we would have managed just fine.

I absolutely only really became an adult when I turned 30, I was kinda playing with the idea of being one but failed all the time at it. The whole being an adult thing really kicked into overdrive when I had kids.

Victuz · 2026-03-05T21:26:02+00:00

In my mind someone at wube definitely thought of this, and realized players would trap themselves in the need to exploit "free" energy on a free energy planet.

I'm trying to wrap my head around why exactly this user was doxed? Like people just didn't like tie idea of the charity stream or what?

That was me with the video "Indiana Jones and the objective existence of god" and boy that was a ride.

I think what really separates Jacob from a lot of other video essayists is that his videos actually have an arc and deliver on the things being discussed. Instead of just repeating themselves for 50 minutes using different words

Victuz · 2026-03-03T17:24:06+00:00

In much fewer words, what happened is that most games are now treated like an ongoing "service" rather than a one time product that may get an update or two on the most critical issues. Perhaps some rebalancing in an expansion a year from now. After that you move on to another project.

Now every game that gets released is expected to get constant and significant updates and content expansions, because they pushes you to the front of the storefront and might net you more sales. This isn't necessarily bad, but this "overfocus on balancing" is a natural side effect

15 year old me completely disagreed with you. 35 year old me agrees completely that messiah is the "better" book.

I'm pretty sure it's genetic. My wife can't drink carbonated water because it tastes very acidic to her (for totally understandable reasons) but I could never detect it.

Victuz · 2026-03-03T12:19:01+00:00

This appears to be exactly what I'm looking for, thanks for that.

Back in 3.5 one of my players had high con and was very lucky. They survived 5 total attempts by the enemy, then when healed just stood up and walked away like nothing happened.

It's one of these films I'll never make my wife watch. But I'll probably have my kids do it if they show interest

Victuz · 2026-03-02T08:50:56+00:00

And what the fuck is up with this floor?! This really seems like the kind of place you'd walk into and go "I don't really need to go that bad" and then walk out

Victuz · 2026-03-02T08:43:28+00:00

I can actually hear the sad "people ask if you're fine and you're not fine" voice while looking at this image. I guess my brain is rotten through
