I have an aunt who I knew drank a lot but I never personally experienced anything other than the occasional late night “Love you soooo much!!!” when she’d be drinking. She is single with two kids who I get along with nicely and I’ve always wondered why she was single. Then I saw that I got the clean end of a really long stick of shit. She’d text her sisters, my other aunts, telling them they were dead to her, her kids don’t stay home much with her anymore, and she started to tell my mom, who is staying with me, that she should leave. She even tried to attack my sister when she visited me.

I had no idea. Now, I don’t see much of her anymore.

It’s not that I don’t like them but if I have a choice of eating vegetables VS eating a steak, I’d rather eat the steak

Your best habit is taking time to fully think things through before acting on it

Oh, it’s not that I don’t like them. But if I have the option to eat a steak or some veggies, I’d rather eat the steak.

https://lemmy.world/post/28582018 A project that I’ve been working on for a LONG time. I’ve always been a huge fan of beat-em-ups, rpgs, fantasy, and mystery. I couldn’t quite find a game that scratched that particular itch so I decided to make one that encompasses all of those things I like.

To get my book published and travel more. I want to see Hawaii, Fremont Street, Big Ben, Akihabara, and a tropical ocean.

An idea that I had was I went to an import store and got my sister a small tea set with Japanese writing on it talking about sweet rolls. A small novelty item that I would never find in my hometown. It cost me about $3 so perhaps you can find something unique like that.

Having to pay for EVERYTHING! Want to not live outside? Gotta pay rent. Want water? Gotta pay the water company. Want to eat? Gotta buy food. Want to go somewhere? Got to pay for vehicle insurance.

I keep telling my friend that we’re heading to the Cyberpunk society without the cool cybernetics. Hell, Nestle tried to privatise water which FALLS FROM THE SKY.

Well, for someone like me who had no inkling of programming skill until I forced myself to learn, let me tell you it was HARD. Everything about my game was a learning process but I took that as a challenge to improve myself and make myself more adaptable for future projects.

To give you basically a rundown of how I’m making my game is I first started with an idea. I liked playing Paper Mario and Super Smash Bros so I decided on gameplay similar to those two. Then, I chose Unity based on a recommendation from a teacher. As I learned coding through YouTube tutorials and asking questions on forums, I started with a simple script to control a tic tac that runs around a quick map I made with primitive shapes. And from that initial prototype I added more and more things. Different mechanics, quests, etc. For art, I’m making most of it on my own since I’m an artist first thing but most I’m getting from free sites like turbo squid or the Unity Asset Store. Music and sounds I’m using temp stuff until I can get to making them.

For myself, even making a simple mechanic of controlling your cat to explore an environment is a game. Sure, it might not be GTA quality, but it’s still a game. From here you can make something more interesting. I always say that in order for something to look beautiful, first it has to look ugly. Even a beautiful butterfly has to start as a worm.

I use this dns.adguard-dns.com as a private DNS provider for my Samsung phone which basically blocks everything for me. Even apps. As for YouTube, I use revanced so I basically never see ads on my phone at all

Everytime I get a meal with vegetables I eat that first no matter what else is on the plate. I think of it working my way to the best part of the meal

The craziest story I have is how close I got to becoming part of a crazy story. It’s odd now that I think about how my life seems to be censored. Back in high school I was part of a group of friends that would go out on the outskirts of my small hometown to play paintball. We’d play almost every weekend and I’d join them everytime. But, one weekend I didn’t join because I think I had a cold or I was working or something. But, that one time I didn’t join someone called the cops claiming that they were hearing gunshots going off. Someone called the cops on a bunch of high school kids and thus the cops showed up sporting shotguns and pistols. My friends had guns pulled on them. Luckily, the cops quickly realized what they were doing and left without any more trouble.

That was the one and only time I’ve almost experienced something even remotely crazy. That was maybe 8 or more years ago.

The first game I remember playing was, I think Paper Mario on the n64. But, I knew I had an n64 way before my first memory so I don’t know what exactly my first game was.

Same day as my birthday

Aw, I was gonna make that joke

Talking without making myself look stupid

I’m a storyboard artist/3d generalist and I’m working towards my dream of one day developing my own cartoon or video game. I’d love to be a showrunner or game director and this is one of the ways I believe I’d be able to get there!

A few of my favorite songs are Love You by Idenline, Sacrificial by Rezz, Over You by Flume, Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones, and Walk by Pantera.

Did you know that for the music in 2016s Doom they used an actual chainsaw as a sound one of the songs (https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/5i51ov/til_mick_gordon_pitchshifted_a_sample_of_a/)

Best meal I’ve ever had was a BBQ burger in New York. I can’t quite remember the restaurant since thus was back in high school but I’ve never tasted something as good as that since.

Best place I’ve ever visited was Banff in BC, Canada. I went with a lot of friends and to this day I still cherish those memories of walking around the town, having ice cream, and just having fun.

How paranoid apple is with everything requiring a password, a two factor authentication, push notifications, etc. And the lack of customization without having to jailbreak or go through an insane amount of menus.
