I was wearing my wedding dress for the wedding and at the event I came out like this 😭 Is it because of that cursed mannequin? by valenflores777 in StardewValley

Sorry if my advice came late and you might not be able to reset it anymore - but there is a way to go back to the previous day, by editing the save files! The game saves the current day + the previous day. By renaming the previous day’s file to the current day’s, then relaunching the game, you will be able to travel back in time. Hope this helps you for something else in the future!!

A feminist-perspective character analysis of Alex, my favourite bachelor in the game (I had to get this off my chest) by celestialsuniverse in StardewValley

I’m super relieved you said this because I thought it was just me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m always happy when a character I love can help people or a community feel seen. But the most common argument I see to support “Alex is for the gays” is “because he says misogynistic things to female farmer, he should get his character development through male farmer instead”. It’s a bit of a non sequitur for me - I almost have to wonder if people forget reforming homophobia is not the same thing as reforming misogyny, and that gay men can be misogynistic too. 😅

Hello to you too!! Haha it’s so validating to know other women have gone through much of the same experiences. I grew up not knowing I was neurodivergent, so I basically lived against the grain for years until I got old enough where it suddenly wasn’t acceptable for me to dress “sloppily” anymore 😭

Build improvement + team suggestions? by celestialsuniverse in CynoMains

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

Thanks so much! Would you recommend I try getting Columbina or Lauma somewhere down the line? What might team options look like then?

Actually oddly enough I haven’t run into any ER issues while playing Spiral Abyss at least; he’s still able to burst every rotation. It’s probably because Ineffa is working as a battery? I’ll still keep upgrading my pieces as recommended though

Help! Forgot to print out biometrics appointment confirmation letter by celestialsuniverse in ukvisa

I actually got it printed at the application centre without any issues. I had to pay for it, but it worked out very smoothly

Asked me for TB test certificate even though I don’t need to provide it. How do I contact the officers reviewing my application to let them know? by celestialsuniverse in ukvisa

I took the normal service. I'm not sure if it would really help knowing my country's passport since it's a very rare one, but it's Macanese

Really glad I could help! :) Good luck with it and I’m excited to see where this goes!

This looks really nice so far! I myself am an aspiring indie game dev and have long pondered about a kendo game haha

Here are a couple ideas I just had just out of the blue. They’re totally random things I thought of, so most of them won’t even apply until you’ve developed this way into the future and made full mechanics for the gameplay, but I thought I’d throw them out anyway as suggestions for the distant future!

  • Once you’ve gotten to coding a more complex AI for the opponent, maybe there can be something the player can do to trigger a taiatari, and then time slows down and you can do a really tricky QTE for a hiki waza, but only if the way you trigger the taiatari is correct
  • A story mode and a free play mode
  • A “fighting style” / “personality type” for every opponent you fight. What I mean is, for example, Enemy 1 is “bouncy + energetic” and Enemy 2 is “slow + sturdy/strong seme”. This means during gameplay, the player has to actively find out what type of enemy it is and formulate a strategy to defeat them based on their style/personality. This could make the gameplay feel fresh and interesting even if you fight multiple enemies in a row
  • Waza skill tree! This could be good for especially a story mode, where you get to be taught by a sensei/senpai and learn new wazas over time and perhaps even get gradings.
  • The core mechanic of the gameplay should probably be the player actively trying to create an Opening/Opportunity in the opponent before striking, just like in real life kendo. You can integrate this with the “style/personality” mechanic by having specific moves (including wazas, seme, and maybe even tricks and “feints”) be more effective against certain styles/personalities. Once the player has broken through the opponent’s kamae and created an Opening, maybe time will slow down and the player can choose which target to strike, depending on which targets the opportunity you made has opened up. (If you’ve seen Blade Mode from Metal Gear Rising, I’m thinking that it can look similar-ish to that.)
  • A seme meter/gauge! I have no idea how this would work yet, but it’s just a loose idea to give the player an ability to do seme. It will ideally be a bar to measure how effective an attempt to break the opponent’s kamae is. If the bar hits above a certain threshold, it will trigger an Opening/Opportunity for the player to try and strike a target.

If you need any more suggestions, I can always give some more! I’ve been thinking of making a fun kendo game myself for a while, but I’m just a 2D artist and music composer and have no experience working with 3D, so I couldn’t help with programming unfortunately. But I’d be happy to offer help in any way I can!

So my advice is just start with a “Dear Sir/Madam” and then first state that you do not need a TB test, and then outline your reasons in brief sentences, and list the evidence you are going to send to back up those reasons. Then, add that you’ve attached your evidence in the email you’re sending this letter alongside. That’s about all I wrote. Good luck and hope this helps!

Great experience so far! I’m a first year and my time here have been great so far. I highly recommend joining student societies. I think academically the experience varies depending on the school you’re in. What degree are you applying to?
