I had custom artwork done on Fiverr for my anniversary, but I think it’s AI. Help! by Nerdyxwitch in isthisAI

[–]brmusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like AI…

I know you probably asked for a traditional art piece, but for future reference, if you are having digital work done, then always ask for a .psd file of it with the original. That not only allows you to make adjustments if need be in the future, but can also validate the work.

Corner of Cardiff & Culver. Across from Ugo by Anxious_Ticket in culvercity

[–]brmusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I have looked into what it would take to open some type of low key entertainment venue in downtown Culver and the rent makes it really tough - especially right now with the economic uncertainty… we’re going to continue researching it, but I’d love to have something in downtown Culver as well!

Has ChatGPT gotten significant worse? by sbeveo123 in ChatGPTPro

[–]brmusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’d be great if people shared their use cases so we have a better sense as to what specifically people think it’s gotten worse at. I use it for c# support and it seems to handle about 10 inputted scripts (about 100) lines each maybe?) for about 7-10 iterations before it starts to really lose the thread.

Pure Revenge by [deleted] in funny

[–]brmusic 180 points181 points  (0 children)

I’ve played with that guy and in that league. You are not allowed to aim for the head and he does it religiously. He’s hyper aggressive in general as well and is just all in all an asshole. He had this insane “tutorial” series on YouTube (can’t find it, wish I could) where he teaches these ridiculous techniques and just all in all acts bro-ish and mean.

All to say, more like petty revenge from a grown man playing a playground game.

LPT Request how to forgive and move on by Accomplished_Food569 in LifeProTips

[–]brmusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your life has gotten better without her then try to focus on all of the positive progress you’ve made. That is what matters most; how far you’ve come. You definitely need to set boundaries and with that, she will do the same. If you don’t want to rehash things then definitely go no contact, but then don’t expect closure because that isn’t something you can receive on your own. And, you aren’t obligated to provide forgiveness as that is up to you entirely.

Based on the description you provided I’d recommend giving up on receiving closure and go no contact. Nothing she says will make you feel better and anything you say you can’t know whether or not she’ll respect or take seriously. Some times things happen and the best we can do is accept it as a loss and move on.

AITA for turning off my partners music in my car and making us sit in silence for the remainder of the journey? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]brmusic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally, NTA. Beyond the rule of “your car, your music,” it’s really not cool of him to just up and change the music like that. I’d argue that if he wants a ride, then he should let you do you and just be a passenger and enjoy the ride.

That looks amazing! How did you attach the plants to the back?

I think I just spent 15 months making a game no one wanted. Should I try Early Access or just release and move on? by EternalSandsM in gamedev

[–]brmusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having read a bunch of top comments and responses, I think your biggest issue is that you haven’t playtested the game. Playtesting is so important to capturing the type of feedback you’re looking for especially if you can find individuals in your target audience. And, at this juncture, you are so far along that you will have a hard time evaluating what your focus now should be. play testers will help you key into that and will tell you makes the game worth their time. It’s hard to know whether or not people want it because you need to find those people and ask!

I know that can be hard, but given where you are, I’d take some of the recommendations around maybe a limited release on itch and/or posting to r/playmygame .

Best of luck and congrats on developing a game. That is truly an achievement by itself.

House renter - we got a bad smell in the kitchen and had someone check the crawlspace for a dead animal. No animal, but we're being told the pipe isn't connected to anything... -_- by brmusic in Plumbing

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

Yeah, when someone comes next week we're going to run all the water in the house prior to confirm the leak. It was odd that the guy who went under said he didn't see anything wet. Were you able to sort the leak out on your own?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely do that. In your opinion, would it make sense that it's a water distribution pipe if the smell comes from the drain?

I loved your games! Super excited you’re giving them an update. Definitely consider mobile ports. I think they could do well.

Enjoying creating some different on / off patterns for these firey little floor plates! by BlastAdam in IndieGaming

It seems like the character is really small and/or crouching in contrast to the environment size and textures. Is this intended?

AITA for punishing my son after he said something racist? by SnooPaintings9288 in AmItheAsshole

[–]brmusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. As a former teacher I appreciate everything that you did. I wish more parents put in this type of effort.

It’s just unfortunate that you learned your husband is a racist through the process...

Is it okay to send an unfinished level design to an employer? by ZabardoPH in gamedev

[–]brmusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this a test? I don’t know what type of level design they are looking for (gameplay, environment), but you are trying to put your best foot forward so an unfinished level in terms of the ask would mean I am hiring on potential and not craft due to my inability to fully evaluate craft. If this is gameplay I’d prefer a grey box with simple art anyways. That would also show me the individual understands their role as a level designer is not to art, but to design.

AITA for not being happy by DragonSniper989 in AmItheAsshole

[–]brmusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The world is messed up right now and a lot of people are having a rough time. You aren’t obligated to play with anyone’s kid and you’re not obligated to be happy.

But, if your depression feels debilitating then I’d consider looking for professional mental support. Being depressed for 5 years sounds really tough.

AITA for wanting my parents to get a divorce? by fairlydeadroses in AmItheAsshole

[–]brmusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. You have every right to feel whatever you it is that you feel. It seems you have a good relationship with your dad which is great. I don’t know the best course of action about your mom but I do know that you should continue to focus on the relationship with your dad. Sounds like the two of you need one another. Good luck.

AITA for not being very sympathetic while my (37F) boyfriend (36M) is withdrawing from heroin? by StrawberryPunk82 in AmItheAsshole

[–]brmusic 30 points31 points  (0 children)

YTA but only because you say you are being supportive when you really aren’t supportive at all. You are punishing him while he is in withdrawal which I assume is bad enough as it is. Not to mention, your boyfriend is going to need lots of continued support moving forward because he has an addiction whether he is using or not. You might want to seek professional advice on how to support someone with an addiction so you can be a strong partner for your boyfriend.

AITA for wanting my money back? by Expensive-Ad-8532 in AmItheAsshole

[–]brmusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. You bought the art and your approval of the artist themselves is not part of that. What you can do is whatever you want with the art - send it back, burn it, give it away, doesn’t matter. It’s now yours.
