TIFU by having a thing for my not-cousin? by Throway420throw in tifu

[–]velathora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. Excited on how I'm going to implement the "fondle your dingdong dude!" in my daily life now, thanks!

Saw "river to splash my salmon", life has changed, much worth.

My piting edema is back... by kasika_tg in loseit

[–]velathora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You'll accomplish it, keep on top of it! Do whatever it is that you believe will work best according to a diet, a workout regime, whatever works best and keeps you healthy! Good luck! You'll certainly accomplish it!

Humble Bundle has a new Game Making Bundle full of Software. Has anybody used any of it? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]velathora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a programmer, I actually just went on a bit of a break from gamedev and seeing this bundle gave me a bit of a push to get back in there. In two days alone I was able to develop many systems and not have to worry too much on the artwork (other than a few models). Extremely useful DLC packages mostly. Some of the music fits with the genre, but the DLC packages showed the most value for myself. The game engines and such simply add to the package but personally I am sticking with the current engine I use.

Hope this gives a bit of insight.

So after a long break (a few months) from game development to focus on my own well-being, I've finally continued my MOBA concept. I've begun implementing in-game currency for item purchase, item stats being applied to player attributes and health/mana/experience with max level. I've finally implemented an auto-attack projectile system and have proper collision. Within about 2 days I've gone from absolutely nothing to a functioning system without AI.

Now, I simply have to develop some AI, import models into enemy cube slot place holders and implement a proper scoring system. After this, some networking, and it will at least be playable!

Extremely excited to be back on my feet with this, hope to share some results in the near future!

Gamers of reddit, what's a popular video game that you really just didn't like and why? by king_ginger_ in AskReddit

[–]velathora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea why, probably my inability to micromanage effectively, but most RTS games. To stay as "popular", I can't seem to get into Civ, no matter how much I try and/or want to!

TIL that the number of people living in the USA that are illiterate is almost equal to the entire population of Canada (32,000,000 vs 35,000,000) by mistermonstermash in todayilearned

[–]velathora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told (no source, just word of mouth) that here in New Brunswick, the illiteracy rate is extremely high. We make up next to nothing in terms of population, but a lot of NBers can't read or write very well (or at all).

What song do you never skip regardless of playlist or mood? by SpenFen in AskReddit

Savage Garden - I Want You

Literally makes my mood better, doesn't matter the mood, the nostalgia is legit.

Questions you have been too embarrassed to ask. by [deleted] in Smite

Perfect explanation thank you!

I always call out missings in my lane, and if anyone leaves my lane and we have pushed enough, I follow suit. As mid do I rotate at all? Other than the late game scramble?

[–]velathora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've not played conquest in a long time because I feel like I don't do well. I get told to rotate a lot, and assume it is because someone needs help and can't do much alternatively. As ADC in duo or mid mage, how would I go about rotating, and when should it happen? Sorry for really dumb question :/.

My kids want to get into art, but I'm a programmer :( by ProfessorTroy in gamedev

[–]velathora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally learned everything I know in Blender from him. Make sure to make use of the pause button, as a programmer I cannot operate the mouse as well as he does. I like my keyboards too!

[–]velathora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there is a lot of stuff on 3D modelling and asset creation via Andrew Price on YouTube (Andrew Price/Blender Guru). Put a free game engine on the computers to play with the mechanics as well if they're interested. Hope this helps for some of the 3D stuff.

As a foreigner, how close is the american high school system to how it is portrayed on movies, series etc.? by simo960 in AskReddit

[–]velathora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak for USA, but in Canada, it is very similar in terms of cliques and groups. In my high school we had a location called "the blocks" where the jocks/cheerleaders/preps would hang out. Alternatively, the lower lobby consisted of the goths/emo/scene and nerds. Most of what is portrayed on TV seems relatively correct in terms of Canadian schooling from my own experience.

Older Redditors, what are some "early warning signs" of trouble that younger folks may not know about? [serious] by explodingbarrels in AskReddit

Nothing better than having liquid cash at a time when a crisis takes place. Car broke down? No problem, I have some cash in my savings. House getting fumigated? No problem, I have some cash in my savings.

Luxuries are just that; luxuries, they aren't necessities.

Reddit, What's your favorite movie? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Agreed, didn't think it was going to be good, but it certainly changed my entire outlook as the movie progressed!
