Random but do you play any other like dating sims? I'm getting back into Tears of Themis again after like so long and I was wondering whether Artem Wing would be your type

— 🦋

i actually tried to get into Tears of Themis! specifcally because Artem looked like You Know Who. i didn't get very far into it (gachas don't appeal to me anymore, don't ask me how much i've spent on Genshin Impact) but i was actually surprised how much i ended up like Vyn. never found out what his deal was but i love evil scientist archetypes lmao. another issue i had with the game was that Luke and Marius had absolutely no appeal to me; at least in Mysme, charas i'm not romantically inclined towards like Yoosung and Luciel still interested me because they were fun and complex characters beyond their attractiveness and "fix me" suffering. maybe it was because i never got past a certain point in the game, but those two from ToT just never grabbed my interest : \

as for any other otome games i like........

there's a promising one in development rn that i've been following since it blew up on twitter a few months ago called Touchstarved. it seems very promising and has a lot of fantasy monsters and magics and stuff, plus the art is FANTASTIC. you can actually check out their official account here @redspringstudio

another one i love of course is Ebon Light which you can download and play completely FOR FREE on itch.io, really great dark fantasy world and a slew of not!drows to romance

as for what i'm playing right now........if you're underage stop reading

rn i'm playing DoL, it's basically a porn game that includes a BUNCH of really dark topics. like, even if you don't have triggers, look up the triggers for this game, it is not for those with weak stomachs. that said, all the sex scenes aside, it does have romance interests in it you can date, a compelling plot, as well as a staggering amount of player agency to do with what you will in the town and surrounding forest/land/ocean. again, do you're research before picking this game up or you will be in for a bad time

[octosan]

I'm just remembering Awakening now and how they let you play as either the HoF or as a veteran Orlesian Warden if your HoF died in the ending. I think most people chose to save their HoF for obvious reasons but I thought the idea was an interesting one if we're talking about making the sequel to a game that is meant to draw in both new and old players.

Since they were already thinking about the next game before Trespasser shipped, I wonder if it would have been feasible to make a version of Trespasser where the Inquisitor can straight up die as a result of their choices. Like if you use the anchor too much so that it consumes you without giving you time to be saved, or (more likely) if you antagonize Solas and it leads to him killing you, or you simply refuse his help because you don't want to give him the Anchor, or something like that.

And if that happens, the Inquisition is absorbed into the Chantry and would be functionally the same as the "didn't disband the Inquisition" worldstate. The Rook of that game would be the person the Divine sends after Solas as a new character (and what kind of relationship Rook has to the Chantry could have been the basis for your backgrounds, and could borrow from dialogue where the Inquisitor allowed the Chantry to take custody of the organization since the Inquisitor can also theoretically feel whatever way about the Chantry and its new Divine.)

Presumably new players would be expected to play as Rook and get to form a familiarity with the setting... without the baggage of playing a character with a game's worth of backstory and relationships they didn't establish.

This would presumably also have a lot of nods to the Inquisitor's impact on Thedas and their death. That could appeal to players who got their Inky killed off and wanted to see the drama of that, while also potentially persuading new players to go to Inquisition and see what they missed.

Meanwhile the Inquisitor if they'd survived would go after Solas either in the name of the Inquisition or (like Rook) in the name of the Chantry that absorbed it. Returning players would get to play as the character they got attached to in Inquisition, and feel the satisfaction of completing that narrative with the same familiar face.

Now, I know the reactivity required of having two different highly customizable characters in a sequel with major returning characters, on top of the other worldstate decisions, would have been INSANE (though I think the Inquisitor and Rook could have shared a lot of the same dialogue options, with "special" dialogue and tweaked lines for each worldstate.) Especially as it would have required having eight voice actors for the lead role alone. So I get that even this would probably not have been feasible, but like

Maybe in a world where the budget and time that went into Veilguard was actually spent on one game.

A Brief Look into "Ten no Oshigoto"

So, a while ago, anon asked me if I knew anything about a game of Kumazaki Shinya's (general director of the Kirby series) called "Heaven's Work" or "Ten no Oshigoto." 

While anon didn't give themselves a clearer identity in their followup, simply wrote to let me know that they had sent in some helpful information before (thanks for that btw!) they and another returned with links to a Japanese Youtube Let's Play by Ochanaito that allowed me a greater look into just what this game actually was!

(Also thanks to Papen for their NOTE post who I also sourced heavily for this)

So, many of you may be familiar with the RPG Maker series of games. While most of the popular entries have come out in English, Japan had many more of these games come out, including a few entries for the Playstation 1! Given the highly customizable nature of the PC ones, you might think that making a big custom game on the Playstation would be very difficult...and you'd be right!

(One of the classic dev tricks of the older entries was to make a custom menu by building a map that LOOKED enough like a menu and turning the protagonist into a cursor who teleported from location to location. It was actually super clever!)

"Ten no Oshigoto" was an RPG Maker 3 game created by Kumazaki when he was 20 years old, 3 years before he would enter HAL Labs as a designer. It was not the first independent game he tried to make. In fact, it was the 2nd game out of 4 (?) he had a part in creating! What distinguishes "Ten no Oshigoto" (outside of the fact that it filled up a STAGGERING 13 memory cards worth of data in a time where most other games took 3-4) is that it actually won an award!! 

See, another thing that distinguishes the Japanese and English RPG Maker communities is that parent company ASCII often had competitions and gave out prizes to the best RPG Maker games of that season/year! A few of those games that won, ASCII would even go on to assist in porting to and publish on consoles, like the PS game "Palette." Now, the prize Kumazaki's "Ten no Oshigoto" won is listed as simple a "consolation" prize, so it obviously wasn't on the fast track to publishing, but it was enough to draw some eyes to it!

(As for the English side of things, well, the RPG Maker community, and even the "Maker" part of the title came entirely out of the Russian pirate/hacker scene, with several of the engines being mass distributed illegally and many of the non-JP "classics" being made on pirate copies of 2000/2003 before it was finally licensed in English - explaining why we never had contests and cash prizes. In fact, it took a while to work some of the piratical tendencies out of its larger user base ^^ Sadly, EN RPG Maker has now gone full late-stage capitalist: while the Japanese community *still* frequently produces free resources, including art, music, and scripts, the EN community, thanks to a few high profile folks setting the bar with payments for everything, has developed a culture of asking people to pay nearly as much or more for add-on scripts than the actual engine itself costs I'm not salty la la la)

AHEM!!

So, what IS "Ten no Oshigoto?"

Well, I didn't watch through the whole 20 video series (not yet) just far enough to get a feel for the basic game play loop, and I have to say, while it's terribly silly (!!) it is also a dastardly impressive game, especially knowing the tools Kumazaki had to work with!

The story of "Ten no Oshigoto" has you playing a god named "Ten" (His name means "Heaven," haha!) who is the young, lazy, unaccomplished son of Zeus, king of the gods!

The angelic Ten spends his days tinkering with robots (there is a joke where he says that all that's left is to paint the monitor with mustard, turning it a gold color, before he is surprised, bumps it and the robot explodes fantastically; a bizarre, comical little scene that is repeated almost word for work with the king of the bad guys later on!)

He is called to see his father by this weird little flying hippo/angel/kirby thing that serves as your companion throughout the rest of the adventure named... "Hengel?" "Hangel?" "Engel?" something, and told that he's finally being given a planet of his own to be god over! He just has to clear it of the "Waruma" ("Evilies") and plant the seeds of humanity to really get the planet started!

Not too long after that, Ten meets another strange companion, "Sebas-chan" (a pun on "Sebastian?") another god who looks like a naked man wearing a lime-green full body spandex suit. Like I said. The game is...terribly silly. It is fully of goofy dialogue, with most of the gods and monsters talking in silly regional accents and characters' priorities being all over the place. Ten himself is a bit lazy and at times a coward, but he does pull through when needed!

What's truly impressive about the game is how it is put together. You see, it's something of an action game, and I want everyone to know, while it's not unusual for clever  folks to use RPG Maker as a shell to create all kinds of games now, making an action game in RPG Maker 3?! That's a huge challenge. And even then, you can definitely see the seams in "Ten no Oshigoto." When you encounter an enemy, you can walk up to it and unleash a weak physical attack, trading blows.

However as you start off with only 3 Hearts, this is not recommended. Instead, these glyphs show up on random places on the map that charge up Ten's magic and allow him to use a more devastating magic attack or heal himself! So, battle is a mix of keep-away and hide-and-seek till you can gather the power you need. 

One of the first boss battles puts you up against a reaper Waruma who splits into three! You have to attack the main body to do any damage. Staying close and keeping track of which is which leaves you vulnerable to his powerful "Tri-Attack" which can instantly bring you down to 1 Heart! While running all over looking for glyphs means you're liable to lose track of which one to use your single attack on!

It's all quite clever! There's a simple location-based map and I have to say, the scene right after meeting Sebas-chan where he takes you to this oddly high-tech sci-fi observatory station and shows you the various locations where you'll need to purge Waruma with the big bad King Waruma on screen gave me MASSIVE flashbacks to Return to Dream Land and looking for the Starcutter's parts!!

(Tell me if you've seen this before! ...O-Okay, maybe not like THIS but...)

I didn't get far enough into the LP to see if there are any of the cosmic/body horror chops we know Kumazaki for. This game really seems to play more to his sense of cheesy non-sense humor, at least so far! (Of course, he was just 20 when he made it) but even if it's silly, "Ten no Oshigoto" is clearly made with a lot of love!

TLDR, if I were in charge of HAL Labs back then and I saw what he'd been able to do in just this one game? I'd have hired him as a designer on the spot, no question! He's clearly a fitting successor to Sakurai, and even his old indie game work demonstrates that imo!

-

All that said, I don't have much else to add about "Ten no Oshigoto" at the moment. I suppose if I ever get around to finishing Ochanaito's Let's Play, I might come back to this post if I can think of more that I feel expands on the positive picture this has painted of him so far. 

Altogether, I *do* think that this is an interesting piece of Kumazaki's (and to a lesser but not irrelevant degree) the Kirby series' history! It's not often we get to see the things our favorite directors made during their early forays into the "work" of creation! ^_-

[anthurak]

So I recently saw a demo video for an upcoming mech-action game ‘Mecha Break’, which if you haven’t heard of it, looks like basically ‘Armored Core, now with hilariously blatant and obvious waifu bait’ in the form of sexy bombshell pilot player-characters that you can customize and have strut sexily around a hub-world between missions.

The thing is though, I can’t help but think there is something very interesting and honestly FUN about the idea of a mech game with a customizable Pilot-PC and a hub-world that you can explore ‘on-foot’ between missions. That just feels like something that would add so much fun immersion into a game like this.

Like the general rule of mech-games is that you are always essentially playing as the mech, and nothing else. With everything else like mech-customization and mission selection being done purely through menu-interfaces.

But with an actual Pilot-PC and an explorable hub-level, I feel like things get a lot more INTERESTING. Like now you can have fun with incorporating all those menus diagetically into the hub-world. Like actually going to the hanger to build and customize your mech, going to a shop to purchase new equipment, and of course the opportunity for plenty of RPG elements like chatting with other characters, finding items, reading documents and just simple exploration. And even some especially fun and egregious stuff like actually going through the full process of prepping and boarding your mech and going through the entire launch sequence before a mission.

And I can’t help but feel like that makes things at least a bit more fun and engaging overall? Sure it’s all so much ‘fluff’ and the dreaded word ‘filler’, but you know what? I think having some fluff and filler is a GOOD THING.

Honestly I feel like this is probably the one thing I really wish we’d gotten in Armored Core 6. Like yes, I know there is a Watsonian excuse for why you can’t have a Pilot-PC, but that game was made in the same engine as Elden Ring, Sekiro, Dark Souls and basically all of FromSofts other games. Would it really have been so hard to port over the PC assets from Elden Ring to make Pilot-PCs and a Firelink/Roundtable Hold-esque hub-world to hang out in and explore between missions?

Now sure, I realize that this level of immersion in a mech game wouldn’t be for everyone. Some people prefer the streamlined, simplified ‘go through some menus then play missions’ framework. But I also feel like this would be easy enough to accommodate for by having an option to easily access all of the between-mission menus and interfaces without running around the hubworld? Like say your PCs quarters in/aboard the homebase/spaceship/carrier/etc has an interface that lets them/you ‘remotely’ access all the mech-customization, parts-purchasing, mission-selection, etc. and skip the immersive fluff if you wish.

(Though perhaps with the caveat that if you do this too much, your character develops a reputation for being reclusive, anti-social shut-in which has potential consequences for the story XD)

I even think there’s a lot potential in the concept of a customizable Pilot-PC alone, aside from just being a sexy waifu. Like one game that actually did some REALLY interesting stuff with this concept was DAEMON X MACHINA from a few years back. That game not only gave you a customizable Pilot Player Character, it actually gave the customizations tangible effects on gameplay in the form of your character being able to get various cybernetic augmentations through a skill tree that gave different bonus’s to your piloting ability as you gradually turn your character into a full cyborg over the course of a playthrough.

I think we all understand value of a good hub-level in video games, particularly games that are very mission-based (shoutout to Hitman WoA’s Freelancer-mode Safehouse), and I think there’s a lot of there for the mecha-action genre.

[rollforthings]

I’ve come across confusion with how Fabula Ultima’s character creation works, especially in people coming to it from DnD5e, so here’s a post to break it down and show how awesomely customizable FabUlt PCs are straight from the hop.

In 5e, pretty much everything about your class is decided immediately. Take it at level 1, it drip-feeds you the same features in the same order. At 1st - 3rd level, you pick a subclass from a short list, and this sprinkles in a few more set-in-stone upgrades. A Level 10 Champion Fighter will have all the same class features as every other Level 10 Champion Fighter. If you multiclass, you get to add in some other features, but always the same features in the same order for every class you do this with.

In Fabula Ultima, each Class is a bundle of features called Class Skills, and in most cases these Skills can be taken in any order and as much or as little as you like. Each level your character has represents such an investment in a chosen Skill in a Class that you have. (There’s an example of all this later that makes it clearer.) Some Class Skills are one-and-done -- spend a level on it and it’s yours. Others Skills have multiple tiers to them, allowing you invest multiple character levels into them to make them more powerful. (Each class also has couple of Free Benefits, little boosts you get for having at least one level in a class.) You can also skip a class skill altogether, if it isn’t something you want for your character build.

Looking at each class, they seem a little barebones. Only five Class Skills, not a lot, and each class is kind of niche. The Rogue doesn’t get martial ranged weapons, and the Entropist's only damage spells deal Dark damage. But you see, in Fabula Ultima, multiclassing is mandatory. At character creation, you get 5 levels and you must invest them in two to three different classes, in any of the skills available from those classes. This does two very important things. One, it ensures a character is good in at least two ways straight out of character creation. Two, when combined with the previous point -- that class features can be taken in any order and arrangement -- it creates this unprecedented level of variety, including with starting-level characters.

Like okay, as an example of all this, I’m going to make two builds for starting characters. They’ll have the same number of levels in the same two classes (Guardian 2 / Weaponmaster 3), and not only will they not step on each other’s toes, they’ll play completely differently.

Our first character is going to be a teamwork-oriented tank, focusing defensive support and enemy debuff. The combined Free Benefits of Guardian and Weaponmaster grant +10 max HP, plus martial armor, shields and melee weapons. From Guardian, we’ll take Protect so we can jump in the way of attacks and spells aimed at our allies. We’ll also take Dual Shieldbearer, to give us some insane Defense scores and let us dual-wield those shields as brawling weapons. Now for Weaponmaster. First we’ll grab Counterattack. This grants us a 50% chance to hit back at enemies when they attack us with melee, including the attacks we block with Protect. And we’ll invest our last two levels in Bonecrusher, so we can choose to swap out damage with status effects and MP drain (lots of it because we invested 2 levels) when we hit. Guardian 2 / Weaponmaster 3 who’s tanky as hell, can intercept and punish enemy attacks, and debuffs enemies with shield bashes.

Okay, same Guardian 2 / Weaponmaster 3 spread, same Free Benefits. However, instead of a tank this character is a simple but reliable damage-dealer. From Guardian, we’ll take one level in Defensive Mastery and one level in Fortress. These skills give us a bit of damage reduction and a bit of extra max HP, respectively, and we’ll probably level these up over taking new Guardian skills in the future. As cool as it is, Dual Shieldbearer won’t work for this build since we’ll use a two-handed weapon like a Katana or a Waraxe for bigger damage. From Weaponmaster, we’ll invest in Bladestorm and two levels in Melee Weapon Mastery. Bladestorm lets us spend MP to hit multiple targets when we attack, and the two levels of MWM give us a +2 on our melee attack checks. Guardian 2 / Weaponmaster 3 who’s got a little padding as protection while they focus on accuracy, damage, and hitting multiple targets at once.

So there you go. Same classes, same number of levels in each, completely different playstyles. And these are just starting characters. PCs gain a level every session or two, and they can invest in up to three classes at once (and 5-6 classes over a level 5-50 career). On leveling up, the tank could double down on Guardian to get even tankier, or level into Orator or Spiritist for more support options. The damage dealer could lean into Fury for increased crit chance and bonus damage, or into a magic-hybrid spellblade build via Elementalist. Or either of them could take on Wayfarer for an animal companion and increased travel/exploration aptitude. The possibilites are truly amazing, and you can get super creative with them as you find synergies and build up team combos. And I didn’t even get into Quirks, custom weapons or Heroic Skills.

So yeah, if you haven’t yet, check out Fabula Ultima. Character building is insanely fun and it’s honestly spoiled the 5e equivalent for me.

how to play pokemon games to study japanese

I just started playing pokemon omega ruby in japanese and have been having a great time with it! The language has been surprisingly simple so far, and I've found it a lot easier to get into than animal crossing. I used a few different resources, so here's a guide on how you can play pokemon in Japanese for language learning:

Choosing a pokemon game

I used this video from gamegengo to decide which game to play and ended up with omega ruby. The tldr of his video is choosing a game that you have access to (in Japanese), that's easy to read (graphics quality makes a huge difference for japanese characters), that's in level. He documented his findings here

Access: Emulators, especially on the PC, are great options for older games. This is especially true for games that are region-locked and need a specific Japanese version to play the game in Japanese. Multi-language support wasn't added until pokemon x/y, so anything older needs a JP version game

Readability: characters on switch games look great, 3DS is also very good. DS is good, anything older can be a bit of a challenge

Hiragana, Kanji, Furigana: prior to pokemon black and white, all text was in hiragana. This can be really challenging if you're used to seeing text with kanji, it can make words much harder to recognize. However, furigana has only been added in arceus and scarlet/violet

Level: All of the pokemon games rank between N3 to N2 except for arceus, which is N2 to N1. I am studying for N3 and am not having much trouble with omega ruby, although I am slow at reading and this is one of the easiest rated games. Someone who is a complete beginner would struggle a lot with these games depending on the amount of reading they intend to do (you don't really need to read to be able to play pokemon)

2. Game resources

There are a variety of resources to help make playing video games in japanese easier. Normally, I would like to just play the game and absorb the content without having to look up a lot of it. Unfortunately, since most pokemon games don't include furigana and aren't voice acted, there is no way to learn how to read a word with kanji you don't know other than to look it up.

Poke Corpus: amazing tool for querying text dumps from different pokemon games. Select the game you're playing and the language, and then write a query with some of the text from a sentence you want to look up. Works great, keep in mind the search is exact (including spacing). It also shows results from other languages, so in addition to pulling all the text for lookup you can see the english translation (which is localized, so is not always a direct translation)

Yomitan: a japanese pop-up dictionary browser extension. Very helpful if you ever read japanese on a computer. I used this video for getting it set up. Very customizable with different dictionaries

Game2Text (PC only): if you're playing a game on an emulator on your computer, this is a great tool for grabbing the text straight from the game. Additionally, since this works inside a browser, any browser extensions (like yomitan) work with this.

Google translate lens: I really don't like this, because it isn't going to be as accurate and it won't show you individual word translations, it will just blur out and translate the entire sentence. But works in a pinch

*I have added a layer of “static” over my screenshots so they are distinctive enough to stand apart from the surrounding text

did you miss this series? here you can find all posts here: [day 1] [day 2] [day 3] [day 4]

Do you use Obsidian?

What is Obsidian?

A note-taking and knowledge management tool that allows you to create and connect notes seamlessly.

Uses a local-first approach, meaning your data is stored on your computer, not the cloud (unless you choose to sync).

Features bidirectional linking, which helps create a non-linear, networked way of organizing ideas—great for brainstorming and outlining.

Why should you use Obsidian?

Flexible & Customizable – Unlike rigid writing apps, you can design your own workflow.

Distraction-Free Writing – Markdown keeps the focus on text without extra formatting distractions.

Ideal for Outlining & Organization – Connect story ideas, characters, and settings effortlessly.

Obsidian for Writing

Outlining

Creating a One Pager

Create a single markdown note for a high-level novel summary.

Use headings and bullet points for clarity.

Link to related notes (e.g., character pages, theme exploration).

Here’s an example of an outline I’m currently using. This is what my website will have on it (and what goals I hope to achieve w my website)

Using the Native Canvas Tool

Use Obsidian’s native Canvas tool to visually outline your novel. (Best on PC)

Create a board with columns for Acts, Chapters, or Story Beats.

Drag and drop cards as the story evolves.

Writing

Why Write Directly in Obsidian?

Minimalist interface reduces distractions.

Markdown-based formatting keeps the focus on words.

No auto-formatting issues (compared to Word or Google Docs).

Why is Obsidian Great for Writing?

Customizable workspace (plugins for word count, timers, and focus mode).

Easy to link notes (e.g., instantly reference past chapters or research).

Dark mode & themes for an optimal writing environment.

Organization in Obsidian

Outlining, Tags, Links

Each chapter, character, important item, and setting can have its own linked note.

Below, for example, you can see the purple text is a linked page directly in my outline.

Use bidirectional linking to create relationships between (story) elements. Clicking these links will automatically open the next page.

Tags can be used for important characters, items, places, or events that happen in your writing. Especially useful for tracking.

Folders for Efficient Storage

Organize notes into folders for Acts, Characters, Worldbuilding, and Drafts.

Use tags and backlinks for quick navigation.

Creating a separate folder for the actual writing and linking next (chapter) and previous (chapter) at the bottom for smooth navigation.

You can also create and reuse your own internal templates!

Spiderweb Map Feature (Graph View)

Visualize connections between characters, plot points, and themes. Below you’ll see the basic mapping of my website development project.

This view can help you spot disconnected (floating) ideas and create bridges to them.

Exporting

Why Export?

Ready to format in another program (Scrivener, Word, Docs, Vellum, etc).

Need a clean version (removing tags, notes, etc) for beta readers or editors.

Creating a backup copy of your work.

When should you export?

Personally, I like to export every 5 chapters or so and update my live version on Google Docs. This allows my family, friends, and beta readers to access my edited work.

After finishing a draft or major revision.

Before sending to an editor or formatting for publication.

Where should you export?

Personally I copy and paste my content from each chapter into a google doc for editing. You may also want to make note of the following export options:

Markdown to Word (.docx) – For editing or submitting.

Markdown to PDF – For quick sharing

Markdown to Scrivener – For those who format in Scrivener.

To Conclude

Obsidian is an invaluable tool for novelists who want a flexible, organized, and distraction-free writing process.

Overwatch 1: UI/Start Screen

I LOVE this kind of UI. So nostalgic and brings back good memories too! It’s unfortunate that we’re not able to get a customizable UI in OW2 because not only that the UI was changed but because there wasn’t a setting for it nor could you be able to customize your own hud while playing a unranked or ranked match.

Main Menu: Soon as you load the game, you’re given an intro. An iconic and legendary intro that we only got once in OW2 when they celebrated their anniversary last year. (That anniversary was kinda lazy on OW2.)

After that, you can hit A on Xbox or X on PlayStation or even Enter if you’re on PC, and the game will take you to its main menu, and the character that’s on it. You could even put on a skin that you bought or that you got from the loot box and it will show up on the menu screen. That just depends on which character it is though.

Character select: Did you know that there were 4 classes in the first game?

First Role: Tank. The heavy characters like Winton, Reinhardt, and D.Va who are the golden characters that carried the tank role (especially D.Va. Everyone’s favorite tank.)

Second Role: Offense. Offense is the role that every player has to either assassinate or go loud and focus only on the damage to kill the enemy team. The diamond character of the game? It was obviously Tracer! And then you have 76, Genji, and Reaper.

Third Role: Defense.

These are the characters that should only care about the objective. Defend it, protect their teams, and to get the enemies out of their thievery for their victory.

Characters like Hanzo, Junkrat, the iconic Widowmaker, Torbjörn who is rotten to the core, and Mei who is an under appreciated character.

And last but not least, support.

The most important role to have in any shooter whether it’s third or first person, hero or not a hero shooter.

Heal your teammates to keep them alive! Simple as that! It takes a lot of work too. And always be cautious of your enemies. Mercy having to be the golden role (now Juno being the diamond role.) the underrated Ana, and the heroic Lucio who was one of the FIRST support characters I’ve ever played!

Do you think KDE is the easiest DE for someone coming from windows?

I've been a long time linux user and the question of what DE is best for first timers has a different answer each year.

I think there are several good desktops out there for people coming from Windows! It all depends on how you use your pc and what kind of customizations you are used to:

Especially young people coming from Windows with stuff installed like WindowBlinds, Wallpaper Engine, UX Theme Patcher, Rainmeter and other things will probably prefer how easy it is to have one fluent theme on Plasma! Others may find the plethora of customization overwhelming and unnecessary

These people might probably like how desktops like XFCE or Cinnamon are and feel! Customizable still, but the defaults are sane and the settings menu is more compact and concise.

Heck, babies might even enjoy Gnome! Fuck do I know

[therpgconnoisseur]

Theres a fairly popular ttrpg mechanic that every system calls by a different name: talent, edges, merits, perks, abilities, techniques, advantages, and probably like a dozen other ones. Feats (especially in 3rd edition) is dnds take on this trend but the system is not built as heavily around them as most others that use it.

The idea is that you have a basic set of mechanics (usually along the lines of a standard skills and attribute system) and then you have this little packets of special things outside of that that you can get as part of your progression. "normally a character moves x much in a turn, but if you spend a talent point you can move x amount more" and that sort of thing.

I like this systems, theyre simple to understand and in games that are built around them make characters endlessly customizable.

BUT 🍑

When the system unifies this with pre made npc statblocks i.e. makes npcs use the same rules and then gives you things like a creature codex it CAN be daunting and unfriendly for a GM to use past a certain point as more powerful creatures become massive list of keywords to look up and juggle in your head as youre running a combat encounter.

As an extreme example lets take signature bad guy jasper stone from deadlands

this guy, the most baddest of asses, possibly the strongest creature in the game. His statblock should just say "YOU LOSE" and not bother with minutiae honestly, his statblock is every attribute maxed out, most skills that makes sense for him to be vaguely familiar with maxed out or very high and then

47 special abilities

Most of this are a single keyword that youd have to either memorize what they do or look up to check if its relevant to a situation (some are kinda self explanatory like "quick draw" tho) some of this are in the same book and some of them are in another different book. Im very familiar with savage worlds as a system, i know what most of those edges do at a glance and I would find it harrowing (pun intended) to run an encounter using this mf with any degree of competency, just by virtue of forgetting half the time that he could have done something that he should know he can do.

Is this bad? idk its a matter of taste to a degree i suppose, it has its advantages, but it does strike me as something that can be off-putting to a lot of prospective gms. It doesnt become that much of a problem for players because they are the one building the character with dozens of special abilities over a period of time so they become very familiar with their own little guy and can juggle the number of things they can do, but a gm running several npcs each one with say a dozen of this qualities? yeeesh

A lot of this games could benefit from a bit of asymmetry in statblock design, having the npcs use different simpler rules for how they work (to mention the elephant in the ttrpg room, yes i think 5e probably feels more approachable than 3rd because it did exactly that) And gms are always free to build specific characters using the full pc rules, nobody's stopping them

[yandere-isopod]

Will we be able to customize our pc?

Of course! Currently there’s 4 different body types, obviously you can change skin color and eye color, I’m working on getting more hair and clothes since for testing I just have the one outfit. Later in the game you can give yourself mutations like wings, horns, or tentacles and you can change your pronouns at any point in the game. (Currently he/him, she/her, it/its, and they/them but I’m not opposed to adding more if people want. It’s not that difficult.) I wanted this to be as customizable as possible. Especially since the whole reason I started this is because my adorable god was talking about how they can almost never play characters their size in video games. Which is kinda ridiculous, there are some pretty robust character creation systems in video games but you can’t be fat? NPCs are equal in diversity with different body types, skin colors, gender identity (including transgender and nonbinary characters) and disabilities.

All that being said, I’m also not opposed to suggestions! If I’m missing some part of character creation that would make you feel more included I can add it.

Hand-painted Japanese-inspired RPG Lost Hellden announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Switch, and PC

From Gematsu

Astria Ascending and Super Neptunia RPG developer Artisan Studios has announced Lost Hellden, a hand-painted Japanese-inspired RPG featuring music and audio direction by Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy XII, Tactics Ogre, etc.) and illustrations by Takeshi Oga (Gravity Rush, Siren, etc.). It will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG in 2025.

Here is an overview of the game, via Artisan Studios:

About

Lost Hellden is a unique hand-painted JRPG from Artisan Studios, enhanced by dynamic lighting and weather effects. Take control of eight unique highly customizable characters through an epic mature story where the 7 Deadly Sins guide your fate. Witness a new Deep 2D technology allowing you to play in 3D in hand painted artworks with dynamic lighting and weather. On a planet called Era, people are bound to one of the Seven Deadly Sins before their first birthday via a religious ceremony called the Nexus Ritual. All their life, the inhabitants of Era have to fight against their urges. Should they fail and succumb, they transform into mindless and aggressive beasts. The Unio religion representatives – the Arkhons – ensure that everyone follows the rules and put down any monsters that appear in the cities. One day, a woman gives birth to twins, something that never happened before. The Prime Arkhon, supreme leader of Era, conducts the Nexus Ritual himself. However, something goes wrong, and one baby is bound to all seven sins, while the other receives none. The twins are taken to the capital, Avilah, where they are brought up as Arkhon apprentices. They are never allowed to leave the walls of the sanctuary… But one day, Leht, the twin bound to the seven sins, manages to leave the city. His brother Cyphel is sent on a mission to find and bring him back. He is accompanied by two seasoned Arkhons, Gram and Enki. The journey of Cyphel and Leht is one of self-discovery, one that will allow them to grow and become the people they were destined to be.

Characters

Cyphel Fyrbrand – Since Cyphel was not bound to any Sin during the Nexus Ritual, his childhood was significantly easier than his brother’s. He grew up to be a kindhearted, yet naive young man. Cyphel is usually obedient but he willingly follows Leht when he is up to some mischief.

Gram Stoneheim – This strong woman taught the art of fighting to the twins. She can be harsh sometimes, especially with Leht, because she sees great potential in him. She is an Arkhon and works closely with Enki.

Enki Taillevent – Enki is an Arkhon and a teacher to the twins. He is less strict than Gram, sometimes he can even be seen as lax. His kind demeanor and his sense of humor make him a great person to be around.

More to be announced.

We've even offered model suggestions so you can quickly select the equipment that best suits your requirements.With the aid of QuillBot's paraphraser, you can rapidly and effectively rework and rephrase your material by taking your phrases and making adjustments!

1)An image tablet

Using a graphics tablet, you may instantly upload your hand-drawn animations to a computer. They often have a few flat, little buttons. You may view your drawings immediately on certain drawing tablets' displays. Some merely feature a pressure-sensitive pad, which limits you to viewing your drawing on the computer screen.

It takes some getting used to drawing on a graphics tablet, especially if you're used to drawing with a pen and paper. However, they are necessary for digital animators.

Some of the top drawing tablets for digital animation are listed below:

Huion INSPIROY Q11K

More and more artists, including animators, are moving from traditional art to digital art. Digital animation makes sketching, coloring, painting, masking, etc. easier, compared to traditional animation.

In order to create digital art, physical tools such as a graphics tablet, a PC, and a stylus make the experience much more effective, and great software is essential. But there are so many options for these tools! Which ones are best for you as a digital animator?

If you’re ready to animate on-screen, here are 4 tools every digital animator should have; we’ve even included some model recommendations, so you can easily find the tools that meet your specific needs!

2) A Stylus Pen

source: google.com

Animators can always start drawing on paper or whatever medium they like, but at some point they will need to draw on the computer. A stylus pen makes this process much easier.

A stylus pen gives you more precise control over your drawing tablet. A must have if you need to write or draw on your tablet. observation: It can take some getting used to using both the stylus and tablet. When looking for a good stylus, you should consider the tip, the part of the stylus that touches the tablet screen. Tips may be retractable, capped, fixed, or unprotected. It's also important to consider the entire pen. Some have Bluetooth connectivity, and battery capacity and pressure sensitivity vary by pen. 

Make sure you buy a pen with a firm grip. The weight is well distributed and it doesn't need to be too big or too thick. Most importantly, it is convenient for frequent and long-term use.

3) A Fast PC

Every digital artist needs a PC with a fast processor. The more RAM and disk memory, the better. Requires 8-16 GB RAM, 256 GB hard drive, and at least an Intel Core 2 or AMD Athlon 64 processor.

If your PC is slowing down, you can increase your PC's RAM to its maximum capacity. You can even upgrade your hard drive and use an external drive to back up your work. This speeds up work, especially when dealing with large files.

Wrapping Up The 4 Tools Every Animator Should Own

You may not always have the latest and greatest equipment, but it’s important to know what graphics tablet, stylus pen, hardware, and software will work best for you and your animation needs.

Knowing what tools to use and when and how to use them, is part of every animator’s learning process. The more experiences you have and the more research you do, the more you’ll know about the best equipment to use and which features you need and prefer.

Remember there are no wrong or right choices when it comes to buying equipment for animation. You just have to find the perfect equipment that suits your needs, budget, and taste. And if you don’t really know yet what works best for you, that’s okay--you’ll learn as you practice with and use your new tools.
