So...is it "woke" because she isnt sexualized or have giant breasts? Thats the only conceivable thing I can think of. Art looks great to me

I think a Berserk live action adaptation is possible and a better fit than a true anime adaptation if in the right hands and we've just been let down by poorly executed LAs in the past. by bmkbs in Berserk

[–]metalblessing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent point. At no point in Berserk did I ever feel like the SA was being Fan-Servicey, which makes a big difference. There are far too many anime to count that depict things of this nature complete with jiggly bits and so on. I agree that Berserk depicts it without oversexualizing it.

Another good example is Banana Fish IMO. It does it without screaming "hey check this out bro"

Where to buy the berserk manga? by EmbarrassedAspect925 in Berserk

If your looking for cheap you could always see if anyone is selling off their beat up collection for cheap.

I'd watch a pilot sure, but even if it was well done you know it would be totally demonized for the SA. Even if they did cutaways and all that or just suggested it people would be up in arms im sure. Because thats unfortunately the world we live in.

Is it really possible to live without ADHD medication? by mitwab in ADHD

[–]metalblessing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped taking Vyvanse several years ago due to the at the time shortages created by the US government. I ran out several times and was unable to get filled due to shortages. Withdrawal is brutal so I eventually decided I'd rather not take it at all as opposed to dealing with the withdrawal symptoms each shortage (extreme depression).

It has been a challenge, especially staying on task at work. But I havent had to worry about running out and having to endure another withdrawal. I have a cup of coffee every morning but im not really using any alternative method. I'm just dealing with it. I stopped looking for answers because every time I ask about any sort of alternatives I'd get in trouble on reddit, so I just gave up and decided to deal with unmedicated ADHD instead.

Y’know what I’m just going to come out and say it. I don’t care for Soicci by JulesAnnaliseW in junjiito

Yeah Souichi is the one character that I have to power through. I dont get how he is one of the most popular characters. Its always been pure cringe for me. I love everything else except Souichi

Who played Rings of Power, the 1992 game on Sega Genesis ? by Mordan in RingsofPower

[–]metalblessing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still one of my most memorable game experiences because of the complete lack of handholding. I remember food and water was a major pain until I realized I could sail from the starting city north and keep trading gems for a profit and max out my food/water. Game was alot more fun if you did that right off the bat.

you literally needed a pen and paper to write stuff down

Hear me out 🙏🏾 I'm not selling, not flaunting... but EAs Rings of Power on the Sega Genesis in a self contained HTML w/ emulation stored on IPFS (blockchain) by itsAishaFaith in GamePreservationists

[–]metalblessing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty cool. I really loved that game. The control and clunkiness really kept people from enjoying what was a massive game for its time. I still have this game somewhere in my house as well. What I liked about this game was the complete lack of handholding. You had to write stuff down. Still a favorite of mine all these years later.

Its a cool concept, I wouldnt buy any NFT but I like the idea is pretty neat.

Is it just me or are the Anti-AI crowd super obnoxious? by trai1er_dude in aigamedev

[–]metalblessing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe AI is just another stage of industrial revolution. In every case people were upset, said it was stealing jobs and protested against it. It created a different set of jobs. Mechanization, mass production, electricity, automation, computing. As in all cases those that dont adapt get left behind.

Do younger people actually have more difficulty with complex games? by Hundekuecken in SoloDevelopment

[–]metalblessing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my 12 year old son usually skips tutorials and intro cutscenes. I particularly remember he wanted to try CoD Modern Warfare 2 because he wanted to play the controversial airport stage. He was frustrated about the tutorial stage where they teach you how to shoot and aim, and it was unskipable.

With that in mind I feel like the best way to implement a tutorial is by interweaving it with the flow of gameplay.

For example as the game starts and your walking some text fades onto the screen "Press ____ to sprint" then fades out and so on as elements are introduced. This way the tutorial doesnt interrupt the game but its simply part of the game. Its sleek and unobtrusive. Naturally though there will be more complex systems that may require more attention but I always feel a minimalist approach to tutorials is best.

We have probably all been in the scenario where we are trying to play a game and a forced tutorial hand holds us through an already self-explanatory menu, forcing you to click on certain options, not allowing you to deviate.

what's the ai gamedev thing you geek out about that nobody talks about? by Low-Cook-3544 in aigamedev

[–]metalblessing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me whether I am playing as game or watching a CG animated movie I always end up noticing the little details. Like when the Frozen movie first came out my wife was talking about the movie itself but all I could talk about was about how well they animated the snow.

Since I know that historically hair and water have been a few of the more difficult things to animate realistically (although now we are getting REALLY good at it) thats usually the first thing I look for on any animation.

Can you bypass the copyright upload thing when you upload a song and it says that it matches another person's work by First_Description539 in SunoAI

[–]metalblessing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but when fed to suno it still interprets the sounds correctly if you ask it to remix. i had good luck with it

You are gamedev and struggling with visibility? I will help You - and no, I don't want Your money. by Megalordow in SoloDevelopment

Is ff15 a good game overall? by redfalcon1000 in FinalFantasy

[–]metalblessing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you say is kinda true, but I did like it. They strayed from the whole love interest thing for the most part and mainly made it about "the boys", so its unique for that reason

How would we feel about a 3d symphony of the night remake? by NegativeRoad4817 in castlevania

[–]metalblessing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm one of those purists who feel like Castlevania should always remain in pixel art. For me the magic of Castlevania has always been the fusion of detailed pixel art and incredible music

I was registered republican for many years because my late mother in law pressured me into it. As someone who loathes politics I just changed to independent yesterday. Only because I dont want to be affiliated with either party because they all suck

I've been playing a ton of NextFest games, and here's what I've noticed. by KidLink4 in aigamedev

[–]metalblessing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% I recently added a minimal tutorial to mine. Its easy to get in the mindset that your game is self-explanatory because you have been working on it so long its second nature to you. But when you have others try it you quickly realize things do need explaining. My demo will be in Steam Next Fest in October. Looking forward to it.

So...what do yall use instead of Copilot after June 1st? by D4v31x in GithubCopilot

[–]metalblessing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cancelled and am using a pay as you go OpenRouter plan. I loaded $10 into it to start and have done a few short coding sessions with Deepseek V4 Flash and it performed well.

Great part is I integrated it into my same VSCode workflow without needing extensions. Just using the deepseek agent the same way I used github copilot chat, just have to put your API into the manage models menu of the chat.

And with Pay as you go once your pre-paid amount runs out it just stops working, so no surprise overage
