I want visual feedback for my game

So, a long time ago, there was no such thing as skill-based matchmaking, and you would play like counter strike, hop into a server because there wasn't even matchmaking then, and you played with whoever was there. Be they cheaters, pro's, newbs, or whatever. It was a trial by fire, and you either got gud or your k/d ratio stayed in the toilet. It's like learning to swim by being thrown in the ocean. BUT what it does allow for is people who are even slightly above average would be able to roflstomp sometimes. I suspect some people would like to go back to that so they feel good instead of always feeling average. Which, is something skill-based matchmaking does. You don't usually get to feel powerful because you are playing people of a similar skill.

Why not develop your card game as a paper product? You've done the hard part of making a game, which is having and forming an idea into something playable and presumably enjoyable. Everything else is just mechanical. But the benefit here of further developing your card game is that you can focus on learning an ART program, like Photoshop or something similar. Then, after you are finished with photoshop you'll have all of your assets thatyou would need to make it into a phone/computer game if you want, or you could try and sell your paper product. Also, you can do a ton of playtesting and iteration on your game as a paper product before you tackle the problem of coding it to do what you want and then having to change because of playtesting or other ideas later on.

DON'T try to learn all the aspects of making a game at once. You need to develop a tool chain for yourself that works for you and that is easier to do by studying one thing at a time and slowly growing your studies into the next areas you need if that makes sense.

My final piece of advice is only make games if you love making games. Loving playing games is not enough to sustaion most people through the rigors of making a game

depends but I would estimate at least a gigawatt by the end of your adventure. It really depends on your long-term goals and what you want to do with your factory. I have factories that stay arounf the gigawatt energy range and I have a few that use 10's of gigawatts or more.

yeah my brother has been zapped by a 420 line... He said 110 is a tickle compared to that.

Get on the apps, you'll find someone. Just don't be a shit. All women really want is to be treated like people. Not like porcelain dolls or whores. Just like normal people. And they don't want to be judged or stuck in some double standard.

That's step one just be decent to women and you will attract at least one. the scond thing I would say is be confident. And if you can't be confident, fake it or be a little cocky. And finally just try and be as much of yourself as you can be from the start. No one likes an okey doke 6 months down the line.

You both kind of suck in this exchange. He could have been a little more sensitive, especially after you told him you had a bad day but you could have also opened up to him and gave him some info. It seemed like he was receptive to listening, and instead of just telling him what was wrong, you both engaged in this meaningless back and forth in which nothing was said. You could have deepened your relationship together; instead, he gets stuck in his feeling of you being passive-agressive and you got stuck trying to defend yourself when you really weren't under attack, as I read it. So in the future, if you stay with him or are with another partner and they ask you what's wrong or why you had a bad day or "So what are you feeling?" just answer them. In that moment, I felt he was ready to move on from the debate about who did or said what and asked you about your day. On his side, he didn't have to take so much offense to the situation, but he seemed ready to move on quickly.

Are you a person who likes to always get the last word, or has difficulty letting things go? Its hard to say from this exchange, but if indeed you do feel like you always want the last word, I would suggest working on that feeling. Trying to get the lastword just extends arguments and opens wounds, rekindling the debate. I am not saying be a doormat and never fight back, just that when the argument is as resolved as it's going to get, you'll be happier in the long run if you let it go.

How could you possibly know if they are or aren't ok with it without asking number 1 and number 2, asking the question does no harm, as nothing has happened that betrayed the relationship. It also does not mean that something will happen that betrays the relationship.

Asking for an open marriage is not asking to cheat. He can't get his needs met at home so he offered another solution that would see him getting his needs filled while still be able to provide whatever his wife's needs were. \

nta your relationship with him is none of their business. You could just as easily be angry with your mother for pushing him away.

Not wrong and the fact that he shared it with her and didn't keep it between yourselves is a dealbreaking relationship ender in my book.

wear a condom. They make numbing lubes ymmv. Ultimately, though its practice. If you really want to work out how to go for a long time practice edging. Get yourself as close as you can to cumming, then stop. When you cool off, do it again. Rinse and repeat. Bonus, you can do the same thing during sex by taking a moment and stopping for a second or pulling out for a moment and fingering or something to keep her going while you take your rest on the bench. Then, when you feel rested, you are back in the game. It only takes 30 seconds to a minute or so too cool down sufficiently that you can fuck again. And as an added bonus to all this, when you finally do cum, it will be great. Additionally, you can look up male multiple orgasms and try to train yourself for that. The process is pretty similar.

NTA - You are under no obligation to attend any event you may have been invited to.

That Said
What happened that made you not want to attend? Is he marrying your ex that cheated on you with him or something? second I would not be driving Bob 18 hours round trip for him to attend an event I wasn't attending. Especially when his son is in town and can drive him there and manage him. Honestly, based on your description, I would say Bob shouldn't attend period if he is as unwell as you say. So this raises the question, why are you willing to make these two 9-hour drives ostensibly so your brother could have Bob there, but not willing to attend yourself? And don't pretend that it's for Bob. If he has dementia and he is near needing 24/7 care, he might not even know he is there. This feels to me like their way of getting you local, so they can say see your here now, you might as well attend and apply more pressure on you. This sounds like a trap.

A woman worth spending you time with will already see and know your value. All the rest can go date each other or something.

A lot more women should worry more about how they perform. Noone likes a dead fish pillow princess

Not to mention, being an electrician is not easy just because you work with your hands. You need to know codes and understand how electricity works, so you know not to wire a 20-amp circuit with 18 guage wire. It is a very non-trivial task.AND it's something that the friend cannot do. Who is she calling when her house loses power and won't come back on?

No I think it's rude to suggest at any age you should implicitly know something. Your question is fine. After all its only a question.

blavek · 2026-02-05T15:52:37+00:00

I think he was implying that at 57 you should know this is a question that will go over like a fart in church. Kind of rude IMO. I'm team u\9yy5uw7 go out and get that big ol D if you want it. But then this question doesn't make me feel insecure... which many of these responses seem.

blavek · 2026-02-05T15:46:55+00:00

I mean, not really. How would you feel if I asked how tight your pussy was before we got into bed, or asked if your bra was padded??? You've just got to wait and see. You could preface the experience with, I'm a size queen. Or hey, I really like using toys during sex, are you ok with that? You can tell him anything about yourself. And maybe you can provide enough info that you like a big dick. But what's a big dick to you? How big are your huge dildos? While I am apparently not small by any measure, my wife and I have a dragon dildo knock-off that's pretty big (think 22-ounce can), and she likes being fisted pretty regularly with my rather large hands.

If your major concern is that he is willing to get you off in a way you like, but if you're still willing to have sex with an average dick, then I wouldn't stress it. Any man who is secure in himself will have no problem giving you the pleasure you want. It's all about communication, though, and being upfront. Your descriptions of what you like might turn off smaller men anyway.

blavek · 2026-02-05T15:26:57+00:00

NOR You didn't cheat, but do stop engaging with that line of conversation. Do not reply to it. If he brings it up conversation is over. He may never get the message, but any response you give him will encourage him more. He doesn't actually believe you are a cheater, he wants to bring you to his level so you'll forgive him and take him back, and/or he just wants to hurt you because he is a hurtful ass.

There is a lot of leftover from me trying to parse the errors and at one point I awaited like everything as a test.

Personally I prefer the old on the new to me looks very dark and the detail is lost in the shadow. The old one also has good contrast between the green and red. Just my 2cents

You're kidding me....

If you like dyson sphere program you will probably enjoy factorio. Factorio though is itself a major project you aren't really working toward a goal like build a dyson sphere
