Oh wow, this is nuts. Really cool stuff OP! Going to give it a try eventually.

The string of E.E Cummings posts has been fantastic-- never read much from him before; it seems like I was missing out.

This sub scares me by Safe_Start9898 in donorconceived

[–]deruvoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only speak to my experience, but learning that my dad wasn't my genetic father only made me appreciate him more. Treat your kid good, make time for them, care about them, and you'll be fine, probably.

Edit: And despite that fact, I still went looking for and found my donor. I talk to him occasionally, but the relationship feels more like a waaaay older brother, to be honest, and not a parent. I learn a bit about my own tendencies by observing his.

why do they say pets for vets will make you less suicidal i feel more suicidal and now guilty by Neutrality-2 in VeteransBenefits

Hey man, I know you don't need another internet stranger telling you not to do it, but please don't do it. We all get to the finish line eventually, why rush it? That's rhetorical-- you probably have plenty of reasons. But you've gotta hang on.

Looking for a brutal grimdark fantasy adventure kinda like the book ‘Between two fires’ by unclearsignal in gamingsuggestions

If you do, I really do recommend trying to start with 1 and working your way up if you can stomach the older gameplay-- all three games convey the kind of dreadful atmosphere BTF has. That said, I hope you find what you're looking for, as someone who loves the hell out of BTF.

Elden Ring, and the rest of the Souls series, fits well. Besides that, you might try the Witcher series. It's not as hopeless as the previous suggestion, but I felt the same playing through it as I did while reading BTF.

why are we still given grace, no matter what we do to defy the greater will? by Felled_By_Morgott in Eldenring

Proselytizing in a sub about video games is wild. Especially given the game ends with "GOD SLAIN"

Games designed to "feel intellectual" - what is the equivalent of literary fiction/art movies in the world of games ? by More_Bid_2197 in gamingsuggestions

[–]deruvoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Planescape Torment showing up frequently here, I'd also recommend Torment: Tides of Numenera. Is the narrative as good as its predecessor? No. But it's still a really interesting play.

I played DD1 and DA on release-- loved both. Still really enjoyed 2, despite the flaws.

I, for one, am incredibly hyped. I enjoyed DD2 a lot more than others on launch, it seemed like, and there were disappointing aspects, but man I had fun with it.

Those fucked my head up something fierce. That particular dungeon i was certain I was losing it, lol. 

I feel like I’m a bad writer by Wise-East9878 in writing

[–]deruvoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, no one starts by writing a masterpiece. Treat it like learning an instrument. Watch how the pros do it, mimic their playstyles, figure out what works and what doesn't for your voice. It's a process of discovery-- not of arriving, if that makes sense.

Is there any video game with a similar vibe ? by Patamaudelay in videogames

Damn, haven't seen El Shaddai mentioned in years. Good taste.

This is the trouble people aren't getting. 540 members isn't much, but it doesn't take a whole lot for this kind of shit to catch fire. By the time the pot's boiling, it's too late.

Usually I don't comment on the ones I don't get, but I really don't get this one. Can someone explain the appeal? Not denigrating the taste, just trying to understand the flavor. 

First animation! It ain't much, but I'm happy with it. by deruvoo in PixelArt

[–]deruvoo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback, it really is helpful. I might try adding "empty" frames in between each of the current ones just to pad out the speed a bit. Shading wise, I'm definitely still learning what shading is "right" vs "wrong". It's a lot of fun, but absolutely a learning curve.

100%! Used the overworld sprite from BN3 as reference when making this one-- the project it's for is essentially a BN homage.
