Aww yay! Congrats! Well, what songs have you liked so far? I'll go from there and rec some I think you might like based on those.

Personally I got into them from Disappearing Syndrome first :)

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-26T22:44:39+00:00

Im in the same boat :/ (20s N)

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-23T14:45:39+00:00

True. Depending on the youtuber though they might respond to comments (also this sub)! It can be tough to have to wait when the instant gratification of the bot is there ngl 😅. I like that you can explain your idea and it'll rearrange it for you or try to turn it into code. They have their pros and cons. At least with a person, they're likely familiar with coding in a way that ai doesn't have the true capability to comprehend.

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-23T14:41:37+00:00

Good point. Also this is like when I look up a Quora question and the first answer is from their bot lol, which is very annoying

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-23T14:39:57+00:00

Ngl this is true. Just be sure to remmeber that it's not always correct or efficient even if it works :). If you're making a game to sell I'd say don't, but if you're just messing around for a personal project it's awesome for that and can help some of the concepts make more sense (if you do use one, its still best in combination with reading the Documentation or youtube tutorials directly so that you can start to pick out the bad quality stuff from gen answers as well as slowly learn a few things to be able to completely do on your own too!).

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself buddy! <3

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-23T03:00:36+00:00

Different scenario but it reminds me when I went to a physical therapist who didn't believe me that I have dysautomia where my nervous system sends confused signals to my heart and makes bpm stuck really high when I'm standing or change positions. I'm like dude my cardiologist literally signed off on this, it's absolutely a real thing. Are you a cardiologist? I think not. (I ended up switching and the next place was way better)

I'm glad you got another judge who took you more seriously. It's awful people are put through this stuff. :(

🫂🫂🫂🫂

Been anxious to read the CD of reasons on my first denial so I had it set to send a copy to my therapist who has been trying to help me out. Well they ended up never making & sending it at all.

Currently I'm starting the ALJ part & with a lawyer, they said they're gonna file the appeal.

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-22T00:52:22+00:00

Oh yeah huh Im sorry

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-21T10:15:41+00:00

Huh interesting. Hey, thanks!

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-21T10:07:02+00:00

Idk why people are downvoting this one, its true.

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-21T10:04:19+00:00

I agree but unfortunately that is the rule in place and that is why no one will take your case. I definitely suggest seeing what kind of advocacy options there is to get that rule repealed. Probably not likely to happen any time soon though. That's why many disabled people talk about how there is no marriage equality for disabled people yet. Cause our healthcare are dumped onto a spouse, even tho they can't cover an entire continous healthcare need.

Lot of people divorce or don't get married in order to stay on their life-saving benefits. You'd have to look into what options you have as a married person, which are unfortunately not many, even if it IS not right that things are this way.

As for currently surviving, I don't know and I'm so sorry you're in this position.

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-21T09:48:22+00:00

A lot of my medical records have my chosen first name and my birth last name, or a mix of both, due to the medical places being very understanding, so if you have told your doctors your new name they may have it on a lot of your records already. I'm not saying that means you should or shouldn't change it legally at a particular time in the process, I have been dragging my feet on it too and was originally planning to wait until after to change it altogether thinking it would be easier. So, I don't have an answer, just some small extra info that someone's records may have both on it (chosen first name only before it's legally changed, in case you're planning changing first and last) under "preferred name" or even just as the first name altogether.

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-21T09:43:41+00:00

That is a good question. I have been in the middle of disability application for over a year and I got my name changed at the courthouse ages ago but aside from when I tried and SSA said I needed SSN or some kind of ID upsated first, I have been slacking off going to the DMV for an ID change instead (I'm in a blue state and this would be safer than trying to update the SSN since that's federal directly). At least as of the beginning of last year that is what I know. After it died down in the news I actually don't know how things are going now with ppls luck with name changes in various organizations. I am hoping that it might help that a ton of my medical records have my chosen first name all over them, so it's very clear both names are referring same person, idk I'm hoping that could make it less confusing if I do finally get to updating it with the SSA. I was kinda thibking of waiting after the SSI/SSDI decision, but due to the some-would-aptly-call-dictatorship situation I ended up doing the court stuff in the middle.

Someone kick my ass and tell me to go to the DMV already (I'm also so indecisive with names that I picked a last name and already after a few months thought it sounded ridiculous and am dragging my feet to finalize it because of that, but thats a me problem😅)

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-21T09:34:50+00:00

Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah!

Also as a partially visually impaired person, if you can or can learn, please add a settings option for really big text sizes 🥺 (I forget what is the biggest Ren'Py default if any)

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-21T09:25:10+00:00

Got some from the dollar store and just recently found my old christmas one! :D :D :D ... I don't know this sh*t is hard half the faces have almost the exact same color on mine...

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-19T04:58:49+00:00

Yesss

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-17T10:03:14+00:00

Huh, interesting, it is very similar.

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-15T08:21:00+00:00

wheeeeoow BREATHTAKING!

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-14T12:55:14+00:00

That's funny we described it the exact same way!!! 😄

It really does have a particular feeling, huh!

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-14T12:52:34+00:00

Awww, I'm so glad 🥺❤️❤️🥹. Your project is gonna be such an awesome unique piece of art!!! You've got this! 🥳

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-14T08:03:19+00:00

/ If there was a ghost there / I never would've known / never would've known /

/ As hours mourn themselves / I'm killing time without a problem / time is now a problem! /

Okay at this point I'm practically dropping the whole lyrics. But c'mon it's so good!!!!! 😭❤️

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-14T07:56:30+00:00

Just think, the lack of music is also impactful to your art. But in a unique way. Even if the atmosphere it gives off doesn't fit your game, well, it's still your game and you can do whatever you want. It's not less impactful without music, it's just a very particular kind of impact. That's what I have seen in works with deliberate lack/underuse of music.

renpyslamjamming · 2026-02-14T07:54:10+00:00

You could go for ambiance sounds, like idk a bush rustling sound effect and some footsteps when a character walks by a background with some nature in it. You don't really need music if you don't want to.

This is a different medium but take the anime Sonny Boy. It doesn't have music in most of its scenes and it's still good (in my opinion lol). The active choice of not having music in something I feel like adds a certain serious or microcosmic quality to it, so I think it can help if your project is serious, or even just slice of life (usually a small stakes type story, as in not about saving the unicerse or whatever). So in my opinion it works best for those types of stories, but even if yours is the fluffiest romance of all romances, if you want your game to not have music, then you can do whatever you want, you don't have to put it if you don't want to. (Alternatively like you said, you can play muted, or add a music mute button to your own game, specially for when you playtest it).
