you know what would be fun?
A puzzle game where you're given a bunch of different objects, magazines, books, food labels, et cetera, all with a made up language on them. Then, with just the objects you're given, you have to decipher how to read the conlang your only clues come from the pictures and contents of the items
say for example, the game gives you two cans they're different brands, but two of the words on the front of them match the game lets you open the cans, and inside you find that both are filled with tomato soup ergo, you can conclude that the shared words mean "tomato soup"
then you can take another can, this one only shares one word and is filled with vegetable soup. Therefore, that single word that all three cans share must mean "soup" and by process of elimination the other word means "tomato"
and the idea is you keep doing this with different words till you can fully translate everything
#ideas#game ideas#a few of the beginner objects it might give you could be children's books and flashcards and food items with simple labels#like say there's salt and pepper shakers that are labeled#to make it easier on the player#maybe there's a system that lets you connect one of the made up words with a real word an object or a picture#and if you match them correctly it translates the word on all the in game objects#so like for the tomato soup cans#you could click the shared word on the can label then connect it to the soup in the cans#and after you do that the word will get translated on the label#I guess it would depend on how complex the conlang is#maybe you can select the word and then it'll bring up a tooltip with the translation if you've already discovered it#I say all this as if I actually have the programming knowledge to actually make something like this (I do not)

9th annual nick valentines day (ft. soup again) + doodle i made last year that i forgot about, from when bethesda gave us that free update
#fallout 4#nick valentine#valentines day#fallout soup#art#doodles#fo4#fallout fanart#once again do not tag ship or soul survivor she is not the protag <3 thats just his dumass kid#i finished this just in time to get dragged into a 5 player game of Pressure with my brother and i have forgotten my tags. uh#i wanted to do something more interesting but it wasnt working out so all i have are a bunch of doodles djbhsdfjhb#lil more somber than silly. had to have at least one somber. its very hard to be sillie right now#i was very close to breaking my 9 year streak im not even gonna lie. but im making it to at least ten. I'm Gonna.#im always like. 'waa i dont wanna get invested in a fan comic longer than a few pages bc i could be making an original comic'#i need to embrace the ideas i have while i have them 😭 i should just be making shit. ofc writing is still hard but writing a few pages#is much easier than building an entire comic from scratch. so#anyway i say that cuz i wanna make a few FO4 comics i just always am occupied with other shit because adhd go brrt#hey chat do u think if i tell a doctor 'drinking gamersupps brings me the closest to normal ive ever been' it'll expedite the process#of figuring out what is wrong with me#mmmmmmmmm Mango Meta

very impromptu mini comic of Player trying out Remus’ suggestion of drawing to jog their memories (memory retrieval Namine style :))
#my art#khml#khml spoilers#ephelayer#maybe the real missing link was the friends we made along the way#my posts#((player’s sketch is deliberately more accurate than the statue…))#I tried to use a more muted palette of colours but I don’t think I quite got it ��#remus at least is a bit easier on the eyes but I might’ve dulled player a bit too much#their outfit being muted already makes things tricky sometimes#this was just a quick thing anyway; makes for good practice

I love how Dave Filoni and George Lucas pulled a Yu-Gi-Oh 4kids dub on the clones. Without the inhibitor chip, the clones are highly trained soliders that had to put their feelings aside after the betrayal of the Jedi (weather they knew order 66 was always part of the plan) and kill them but still giving them free agency to resist the order. Showing that even though the clones are slaves to the Republic they still have free will to resist an atrocity. But with the inhibitor chips they give the clones, who basically have no agency with their life already, have even less agency and make them the thing they swear they weren't, mindless droids. Completely striping them of what little freewill and personality they had and cementing their fate as only having one purpose, killing the Jedi.
#a tragedy vs the horrors#and personally i don't think i made my point that eloquently#also for context Yu-Gi-Oh original concept is that when you lose all your life points you die#but in the 4kids English dub they can't have death in their kid show so they send players to hell instead of dying#im also aware the inhibitor chip where made to make it easier for kids to understand why the clones would kill the jedi#plus make it easier to write clones with good relationships with the jedi and not seem like they had ulterior motives#im not sure if i prefer the inhibitor chip or not#but since im a tragedy enjoyer i kinda like the horror of the inhibitor chip#swtcw#clone wars#clone troopers#republic commando#repcomm#this isn't bashing the clone wars as i said already i like the tragedy and hopelessness the inhibitor chip adds to the story#(its still a little bit of a copout)

God why is Volo so tall, is Cogita around the same height (I don't remember her size compared to him), is it a Celestica thing or is he just like That
[photo from Serebii]
it might be a Celestica thing? player's actually only around a head shorter than Cogita, the angle makes her look taller here. Volo's definitely taller than her though (though no one's taller than Zisu)
#pokemon#pokemon legends arceus#volo pokemon#volo#cogita pokemon#cogita#i should have an ask tag#it's also hard to tell exactly how tall the player is. compared to a 4'1“ lucario we're maybe like 4'4” TOPS#but next to stupid tall volo the math leans closer to 4'8" (for being supposedly around 15 the player sure is on the short side)#(...to be fair i'm not much taller and leveled out around 15 anyway so height's never really made sense to me)#i'm gonna choose to believe it's a celestica thing cause that just makes it easier :P

please say that the joycon mouse feature isnt available with splatoon please I'm begging it would genuinely ruin the game for many people including myself if there were people running around aiming in splatoon with a MOUSE
#like god make it so the gyro controls are incompatible or something#im genuinely stressing about this#ive played splatoon handheld since January 2020 and i last played on a tv the same year#im a handheld player i wouldnt be using the mouse. and itd fuck everything up so much if it was compatible#such a lower skill ceiling#people have to learn the same skill in splatoon rn of control sticks and gyro controls#if its suddenly stick controls + gyro and then ALSO a fucking mousr#everyone knows mouses are easier to play shooters with. its common knowledge its a no brainer#itd fuck up the entire perfect balance#please nintendo#pandas.txt

i feel like now is probably the time to admit that the only sports narrative that i've always found actively irksome is unfortunately the child prodigy narrative...obviously i do not dislike the player themselves (i cant imagine actively hating on a child lol) but "youngest player to do x since y" doesnt move me and i spend most of my time worrying about if they get to do normal kid things instead of actually enjoying the display of their skill
#like i think its cool when young players have like. a good run now and again#but i just...idk#im not enamored with the narrative#and it just makes me nervous in general#obviously it becomes a lot easier once they sort of leave that 'child prodigy' stage#but that's why i find it difficult to really get on the mirra or joão hype trains (amongst others)#sorry to be a downer...#to be clear i acknowledge that some of my favs literally were child prodigies#but i didn't become a fan of any of them when they were like. really in that stage

Coding woes (Patreon)
#Doodles#Original#Ukadevlog#Bug testing sure is something lol#These are both problems I've figured out now luckily! And I did them on my own! :D Extra pleased with myself :3#My slightly cocky attitude of ''Well that was frustrating - luckily I'll never run into another problem again'' amuses me lol#'Cause in the moment everything's flying! The code comes together lovely and it's all great! And then I come up to the next thing#Something I haven't done before - something that there's no Direct how-to of how to do a thing#Like setting player-and-character pronouns! I didn't know how to do that! But I figured it out!! :0 What a rush haha#It really did take me an evening of knocking my head against the wall in attempts - I waaaayyy overcomplicated it to start haha#I was like - trying to set up a system that would call on specific pronoun sets individually based on player input#Ridiculous - so much easier to just slap some values into an envelope and have those tied to a specific shell lol#But that took all night! I got sleepy while working on it and even my drowsy brain was like Wait...what am I supposed to check against? Haha#Such a weird experience subconsciously as well :0 'Cause I had normal dreams that night#Maybe some slight code-adjacent dreams of A Screen With Text On It but that could be anything :P#Most of it was just normal dream melodrama - but in the few times I woke up to readjust or roll over or pull my blanket#It was juuuuust enough for my ''conscious'' brain to kick in and think about what to compare against - what structure would work#And so by the time I woke up proper I had to frantically write down a bunch of code in a spare word document so I wouldn't go stir crazy lol#Breakfast must wait! Dailies must wait! I Have to write this down!!#And when I implemented it - it worked exactly as I hoped it would and is much much Muuuuuch simpler to call upon haha#Wow! That was a weird fluke that definitely won't happen again! Haha#I don't actually believe that I just have no way of guessing which aspect will trip me up - This Should Be Easy! And then it isn't lol#Definitely didn't predict the second - Especially because other than a small roadbump of not knowing how to Shell-Switch (ty again Cherry ♥)#Everything up to then was going well and everything after that was going fine! Until The One Thing happened pffbtl#I wanted to assign a value to check if a specific piece of code was being called upon - basically a fork between two outcomes#That went fine! The value Was changing! But only the first fork was being called???#No lol I just didn't put the second = ugh pft - and what's more frustrating is that I'd been using == up to that point!! I'd been warned!!!!#I - for some reason - was convinced that using && would make the value check Only need to check If x = 1... That's not how it works......#It's an If statement! If x = 1 then why do I have to check IF x == 1! Just check!!! Hwagh rules and whatnot lol#Like I said it's all fixed now but sheesh! What a silly mistake! I knew better!! And now I double know better haha

im gonna get into beatsaber mapping just to make cool and fun and challenging maps for intermediate players
#kipspeak#rhythm games have an annoying problem and it’s that mods for the cool songs are all for Expert Plus Players#what if I don’t want to do that huh? What if I don’t want to destroy my wrists and practice for weeks#what if I just want to dance game to katamari by femtanyl or a camellia song#or a vocaloid song. rin and len (FOR FUN NOT FOR CLOUT)#cool songs for ME. for ME now. and NOT the baby mode version. We make it fun and also easier. Intermediate

why is every "advice" video for playing dnd as a dm just "i know this system already encourages a stupidly unbalanced amount of work for the dm but here's even MORE work for you to take on!" dumb as hell
#i think after this campaign i will try another system#me: oh cool an advice video! maybe this will make things easier#video: here's 30 more things to juggle lest your displease your players

(would-be) game devs in chat.... if im hypothetically building a game that's meant to essentially be run/executed by a discord bot should i figure out the bot with all the internet protocol stuff first or build the game first
#i was leaning toward game first then figure out how to make the bot run it#but now that im thinking about it im wondering if the chain of player input > bot > game resources wont be easier to code for#if i know the limits of discord bot stuff first#like i dont wanna put smthn in my player classes if the bot cant update the class values#idk... bit off more than i can prolly chew with this one#all so ppl can play with their friends... smh

kinda wanna buy one of those cute little cd players and collect cds again... bring back being able to physically own your music
#see the options are cd vs record player#and like. cds make more sense bc 1. theyre cheaper 2. i already have some bc of my kpop hypertixations 3. theyre easier to store#yeah sure the vibes arent the same but cds are so much more portable#and you cant listen to your records in the car can you!!!!#i wouldnt know i dont own a car#but i assume i will in a year or so#and my ass cant afford those new cars with no cd slot so itll definitely have one...#hmmmmm#c.txt#diary

shoutout to Beacon for dropping just as I was about to have to spend the next two episodes dealing with twitch's player on my laptop
#I hate that player so much you have no idea#normally I watch on my tv which makes it easier but im dogsitting this week so I was gonna have to power through it#besides normally I use these jobs as an excuse to treat myself to a nearby fast food joint but im boycotting all of them#so I can justify the expense as saying im using that money for beacon instead#critical role

"one gay guy" implies that your straight friends have more than one gay friend, which is incorrect
#GET READY TO MOVE TO ILLINOIS BUDDY#Do you know how fucking mad KJ would be if he found out I was constantly posting about his homosexuality on here#Hey that's my protip for all of the people. Get into college basketball because it's easier to make fun of the players#absurdist007 classic
