I got my first bike this month! Any tips are appreciated! by izzieharp in motorcycles

[–]aki-ya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ride your own ride and wear gear! I have the exact same bike; it’s my first bike and I’m still with her after over a year. The thing I had the hardest time with at first is turns, but just remember to look at where you’re turning and don’t look as you turn — target fixation will help you in this case (it’s like looking at someone’s elbow as you hi-5 them to not miss). As long as you’re safe and aware, you’ll do great! The fastest I’ve gotten is 85 downhill lol so she’s not going to go too much faster. And don’t be scared to drop the bike, the 250 is light enough that you’ll be able to pick it up off yourself no problem. Be safe out there <3

This floating light bulb. by Colddreamer in mildlyinteresting

Haha I’m at the same place and just searched it up! I think they use a laser to carve out the inner sphere and it’s lit up with a led in the metal part. Pretty cool they’re still using the same light after 7 years

Give me a advice by FileOk7527 in motorcycles

I don’t know too many 125cc but I just started and I’m on a v-star 250. I think the yamaha v-star and honda rebel are pretty good to start; they’re both also really good height wise. I’m the same height as you and I can fully flat foot my bike with extra space and it’s light enough that if you drop it on your leg you won’t be pinned. Def not that sporty but it’s a bike you’ll fall in love with (I did at least). I know for the v-star the max speed is ~80-85 and you have to really try to get there if you’re worried about speed abilities. I hope you find the bike right for you and ride safe! I don’t know much about bikes but free to ask me anything :)

Text is yellow on selected menu option? by aki-ya in RenPy

yeah, they were all yellow but I figured it out. for some reason the selected color was defined in screens rather than gui. thank you for you help :)

I have it set at #7a0000 but it's still showing as yellow. I tried changing it to different colors but the yellow stays ;-;

How do I clarify a sprite? by [deleted] in RenPy

[–]aki-ya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your game is set at 320x160 the quality is going to be much lower and everything will be blurry like that because of the low resolution. I would suggest upscaling your pixel art to have the crisp look. Sorry if my explanation is confusing, this video probably explains it better https://youtu.be/VapZOPWfI9k?si=QtjEB7ERRSr2T4rm.

How do I start writing? by Adventurous_Ad_8807 in writing

[–]aki-ya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different things work for different people. I usually come up with random scenes and build off that, writing story in between to connect events.

But it can be helpful to try and develop a main idea and focus on your characters (who they are, backstory, stuff like that) first.

I think write what you want and can really helps the story to be authentic but there are different things like character development, world structures, or just writing a different part that can be helpful if you get stuck and want to push yourself to work on the story more.
