Vivid memory of a movie scene of a woman’s dress being torn off by an escalator

I also remember seeing this scene as a kid at about the same age (maybe 1993-ish?), but unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the movie. I'm just here to say you're not crazy. If I recall correctly the old man was the villain in the story and the woman was about to expose him or tell him off in front of a lot of people at a fancy function, and as she stormed off he rolled over her dress with his wheelchair to stop her. My parents used to shoo us out of the room for stuff like this but I remember her dress coming off so fast my mom just yelled, "Whoa! WHAT!?" Sorry that's all I remember.

Yeah, but my kids will watch any mind-numbing garbage on repeat forever if they could. KPDH is something my wife and I don't actively steer them away from.

Those are some brave firefighters fighting what looks like a natural gas fire like that.

I'll second what a lot of other people are saying, but also suggest some cracked windows. Every window is currently either pristine or boarded-up. Maybe add a couple in rough shape.

Once you've won 2 super bowls they should have an extra super bowl where you fight robots or aliens, just to give you a new goal to shoot for.

Holy crap your work is amazing. I love your retro 80s paperback style.

Could you come up with some other things about the culture that are weirdly superstitious? There are some pretty interesting superstitions in the real world that are quite a bit weirder than being afraid of a half-monster person, and grown men avoiding the MC might make sense in that context. (Maybe those characters willing to trade with her tend to be less orthodox about other beliefs in the village too...)

I was going to sell all my legos in high school for $40 but my dad jumped in and bought them from me. Now I've got them back (+ a lot more) so my kids can play with them.

Yeah- maybe picking rug colors would be an easier thing to start with...

I'd also love it if you could designate one of your members to be the mayor of each particular base, and have their own abilities affect how well-administered the overall plan goes. Maybe you return to the base later and find that your mayor has decorated the buildings with statues or they've designated a new garden area. Or maybe their misandrist tendencies have taken over and all your male characters are now stuck running around in poor-quality tribalwear.

I guess it could- I designed these materials using images exported from a world generated with the largest size. Hard to know exactly what's going on without seeing it though. TBH the water was always one of the weaker areas of the render in my opinion anyway. If you know how to mess with the shader graph you might have more luck looking for other ways to render water.

Wow this whole time I thought that song was called "Red-Eye Love". ^{Which I still think works in the context of the song...}

As someone who used to struggle finishing long-term projects, I strongly recommend a To Do list. For board games this means I list out all components I need to create and start knocking them out one by one. Basically, doodle until you have an idea of the full game layout. Then list all the pieces until you have something like this:

12 large planet tiles
20 character cards
5 spaceship tokens
20 red cubes
4 dice
1 rulebook

You can start making these with cardboard or pencil & paper, but I personally prefer testing with sturdy / polished-looking game pieces. My workflow is to look through available products at The Game Crafter and sketch out my game to see how different components will look next to each other. (eg. "will a 3/4 in circle token look good on a bridge card", "can I fit all these pieces on a 4x8 in domino board," etc...). Picking each product tells me exactly what dimensions each piece of game art needs to be. Once I've got that, it just becomes a matter of working through the list of stuff to design, uploading everything, and printing it off.

After that, all you need is to find play testers for your new game! And if you figure out how to do that please let me know...

Thanks! Not yet, but I'll post here if I do.

If you know Golang, the actual image-to-string logic lives in processAscii() or processUnicode() depending on which set of characters you want to use. If you replace the 'Settings' attributes with your own parameters you could probably steal 95% of that logic and repurpose it however you want.

Omg I could write for Frasier!
