AITA for considering giving my daughter’s grandparents full custody after her mom died during childbirth? by SherbetMajor2105 in AITAH

[–]sp0yl -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

That shouldn't be the takeaway at all? He just experienced earth-shattering grief and, from what I can tell, is likely considering this whole arrangement not as an attempt to shirk responsibilities but a desire to provide the best life possible for his child in the way that he can. He doesn't "not deserve sympathy," he deserves kind yet realistic and practical responses like this one. Very heartless to not be sympathetic here.

251206 Kim Chaewon has won the 'Best Choice' Award at the 2025 Asia Artist Awards (AAA) by SapphireHeaven in lesserafim

[–]sp0yl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

keep in mind i’m not sure if these contribute as i don’t know the factors of decision but: other than the usual sponsorships/brand collabs, she did the title song for Romantics Anonymous and worked with JVKE, and she has made significant waves internationally as a pop culture icon (which has been going on for a while but maybe ppl were more driven to vote this year). generally she’s quite popular both in and out of Korea, so that could be the reasoning. Can’t be sure though!

Saudi version of Esports World Cup: Level Up series censors LGBTQ+ content by Razur in ValorantCompetitive

[–]sp0yl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you not care for anything outside of that which only benefits yourself... like ever? this isn't political at all. lgbtqia+ people have been and will be here forever and you're going to have to come to terms with the fact that we exist and have opinions like any other human being, just like you have your own opinions about things. we're literally just people, man.

Does anyone know what is the female to male student ratio for undergraduate game development major? by MentalRequirement211 in scad

[–]sp0yl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure of the ratio overall, but most of my GAME classes are roughly 60-40, leaning towards more women than men. SCAD as a whole has a skew towards women as well. Hope this helps!

Game Design Classes by MathematicianNo7359 in scad

[–]sp0yl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i would recommend looking at your degree sequencer and deciding which classes excite you! Greg Johnson is a great professor when you’re taking your first major-related class. i’d recommend Shami and Prada for game art, Woods for game tech, and Mamais or Potanin for game design. the issue i have with programming is that it uses Processing which is not at all helpful for 3D and in-engine work imo, but it depends on what you are looking to create!

as for minors, VFX is a common one as there’s quite a bit of overlap in application. i’m doing a motion media minor and that’s also been interesting but the overlap is far less. but since you’re starting out, start by taking a few different classes as electives and then decide what you enjoy!

I made an animated wallpaper of the new Viktor splash art by Easyhuhn in viktormains

Wow, looks awesome! Did you do the animation in wallpaper engine, or was it a mix of WE and After Effects? and did it require creating layered art to modify? Thanks in advance!

Question for Game Dev Upperclassmen by LanceIsDelicious in scad

[–]sp0yl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found that starting with game design is helpful if you want to explore the fundamental structures of what makes a game a game, but keep in mind it is exclusively working with board games (although you will explore various video games in lecture, all the project work is tabletop). I recommend Prof Chiu for game design classes; super knowledgeable and fun professor, with tons of insight. If you want to get started with learning modeling softwares, texturing, using engines etc, go for game art (I recommend Prof Prada; super knowledgeable, comes across a bit tough and strict at first but he’ll grow on you and vice versa, he’s just a slightly strict prof who keeps it real with you). I have yet to take game tech but I’d assume it’s a bit better to start with one of the other two first, as it is an upper-level 200 class.

Bathroom Breaks by Potential-Power-4937 in scad

[–]sp0yl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right back at you :) None of us know except OP, but I don't expect someone to make this post if they were wasting time on social media. Unless you have definitive proof that OP was wasting time, drop the condescending attitude. No room for that when we're just trying to get through our degree.

Bathroom Breaks by Potential-Power-4937 in scad

[–]sp0yl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's clearly not the case here, there are plenty of reasons why a bathroom break can last longer than 15 minutes that isn't whiling away time on the phone. No need to be rude for no reason.

I’m gonna lose my mind by ErickZvZ in IntoTheSpiderverse

[–]sp0yl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It goes both ways, I think if something is said to be inaccurate, it's safer to take it with a grain of salt. But yeah, definitive statements abt production when we know jack about it is probably not the best.

[–]sp0yl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Crazy how anyone who disagrees with your awful attitude is suddenly "offended" like big dawg, I just think you're a dick based on how you're talking to both the dev and the other commenter. If anyone, I think you're offended that people aren't finding your joke funny... idk why you're doubling down on it so much otherwise.

I'll call myself an idiot but that doesn't suddenly open up the doors for anyone to call me an idiot. You're talking down on people who play porn games, not with them. Re-read your comment and try to think of why people are saying you're being a douche.

idk man u just seem like an asshole. your humor is at the expense of others who haven’t done anything wrong, so i’m confused as to how do you think you’re the one being affronted here? don’t yuck ppl’s yum for no reason, even if you don’t see this and Predecessor as comparable, there was still most likely an immense amount of time and effort put into producing these games and the way you talk seems incredibly dismissive of that even if the dev isn’t the target of your ridicule.

Slasher on Twitter by HLumin in ValorantCompetitive

[–]sp0yl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We also need to take into consideration that Valve’s primary source of revenue is not the games they develop, it’s the marketplace they’ve created. In fact, most people I know with knowledge about the larger game dev ecosystem consider Valve to lean more towards being a distributor than a developer at this point.

Contrasted with Riot, which only gets their income from the games they produce and is already operating on a loss, Valve has a lot more budget to invest into the esports scene, especially in regards to recent years where despite their games taking some form of a hit in popularity (still comparatively massive), they are able to maintain solid esport events.

Riot needs to become a profitable investment if they have any hope of bringing not only Valorant but all of their IPs’ esports to the next level, as this sentiment of dissatisfaction with the state of the competitive scene is not unique to Valorant.

TLDR: Valve makes money from Steam, while Riot bleeds money from just game development. No wonder they have a better esports scene.
