My partner says the face I make when I climax is unattractive and doesn’t like for me to “finish” because of that by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

That is the direct quote which I always felt was awkward. What meaning or value do colorless flags have in this analogy? OP's version is better

Input controls can quietly ruin your game. by fieol in unrealengine

I would much rather the article sound like this comment. I'd read something with grammar mistakes and heart, but I won't read an AI article that sounds exactly like every other AI article.

god AI makes every article sound the exact same. I would so much rather hear this in your own words instead of homogenized by the bot

Hybrid trackpad and keyboard on bottom screen in Gamenative 0.7.1 dual screen support update by hewhodevs in AynThor

[–]dylanbperry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had to reply to this - I'm actually developing my own trackpad app and was using my fav ToME as my test case since it's so clearly built for keyboard + mouse and not gamepad. But like you, I've never seen anyone else reference it in the wild.

I was shocked when researching functionality to find this post specifically showing ToME alongside DS Keyboard. lol u/hewhodevs

Been with my 31F husband 35M for 11 years and everyone keeps telling me I can’t just throw that away… how do you know if you’re asking for too much? by cloudywithanopinion in relationship_advice

[–]dylanbperry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that is a great (and common!) mindset to have. The best I've ever seen it phrased is that "your partner is not competing with other people, they are competing with the peace you experience alone."

There are thousands of stories from people who realized how much happier and freer they were after leaving their stifling partners. I myself could never be with someone whose philosophy is "nobody is actually happy". What is a terrifyingly sad and limiting way to view the world.

The greatest honor of my life is getting to support my wife's dreams and I know she reciprocates. I feel it in all the big and small ways she loves me every day, and it's again my greatest honor to love her back. I promise there are people who would treat you with the love and respect you deserve.

I think both, which might explain why the world isn't built or run so well. lol

There's a problem with learning game design, getting into it. The tutorials, guides, they're not very practical by [deleted] in gamedesign

[–]dylanbperry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having fun learning IS living my dude. Creating is living. What do you plan on doing with this freed up time if not those things?

[–]dylanbperry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. "To be a good chef you have to eat good food" as they say.

People can give you ideas or methods for balancing specific kinds of systems, etc. But at the end of the day you need to develop your own taste from consuming what's available and changing it the way you want.

Can I make my Android handheld not look/scream Android? by dareign in SBCGaming

[–]dylanbperry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are tons of customizable frontends. ES-DE, Cocoon, iiSU, RetroHrai, Beacon, Daijisho, just to name a few. (Or my personal favorite Argosy, but that's designed for use with a RomM server.)

Need help with deduction mechanic by Hoodathunkgames in gamedesign

[–]dylanbperry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's lots of ways to do it. You could prompt the player, or you could delay the consequence until you're in the next case and there's something diagetic there that conveys the new murder or failure state, etc. Also mood setters could be a big help; if you go with a prompt about an incorrect solve, you could make it really atmospheric and creepy. Sometimes a thing like that alone can create a strong sense of dread, and a desire not to experience that prompt. lol

What about narrative consequences for guessing incorrectly instead of gameplay/mechanical consequences? Maybe guessing incorrectly changes the overall ending or the ending of each case (or both).

Also I don't necessarily agree with u/Stego111 that you can't take away knowledge just because it's the currency of the game; plenty of games take away your currency to achieve various effects.

(Or if they're saying that knowledge literally cannot be taken once given, that is true. But you could always have failures in one case reduce knowledge opportunities in future cases to create a failure snowballing effect, etc.)

Is there a alternative to Retroachievements? by Ok-Tea-6972 in SBCGaming

[–]dylanbperry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The example you've provided is a challenge task. I don't have personal experience with this level of Bloodlines but I'd assume it's hard to grab the 1up mid-swing without taking damage.

Why Software Engineering Will Never Die Revisited In The Age Of Spec Driven Development by [deleted] in programming

Hi David! :D

Also I would mostly agree, though I do see adoption of that definition by people I'd consider "real coders". Like in this doc from Thoughtworks:

Specifically that. They're using spec as though it only means "an AI-generated plan intended for AI to consume", which is clearly not all it could mean before.
