  • Do I need to learn a 3D modeling software?

    Jump

  • It's not great for every use case, but my 'get this printable' solution is Tinkercad. It's pretty easy to use, but is correspondingly simple.

  • Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love trying new things to keep the joy of it alive. So Lemmy, what are your favorite Halloween traditions?

    Jump

  • My roommate is obsessed with Halloween and does one of those little model villages every year with tiny spooky buildings that light up and stuff. I sometimes sculpt or 3D print parts and props for it. It's fun to see how much joy he gets out of it, and how it grows a little each year.

  • What are some things I can do during an ad break?

    Jump

  • Get a little sketch book or tablet. Every time an ad comes on, draw an object (or dog! Or person!) in the room with you. Try to do the whole sketch over a single ad break, focusing on the biggest, most important shapes first. You'll learn to draw very quickly.

    If you already know how to draw, draw. Use it or lose it!

    Disclaimer: am artist, possibly biased. Doing art for its own sake is fun for me, so it doesn't need to have a 'point.'

  • Favorite Movies or Tv Shows with amazing card playing scenes?

    Jump

  • I seem to recall Maverick(1994) having a good card game as a central plot element, which takes place on a river boat casino. It's also just a really fun movie about three competing con artists (played by James Garner, Mel Gibson, and Jodie Foster).

    It's been a few years since I've seen it, and it's set in the old west, so sorry if it has any racisms I forgot about!

  • How do solo devs make an entire game themselves? M

  • My partial degree in Game Art and Design finally pays off, lol

  • If you can’t hash out the idea then so you have a right to even try and make a game?

    This is the most important thing I see here, because the answer is always 'yes'. Of course you have the right. Start where you're at and figure out what you need as you go along. Your first attempt might not work, but what you learn from it will be invaluable.

    As far as art goes, you can either find someone who is excited to work on it with you in their spare time (difficult to find), or pay an artist whose style you like to create art for you (possibly expensive). If you do the latter, it's best to wait until you have a clear idea of what you'll need so you don't end up paying for assets you won't use.

    One thing you can do right now is create a design document. This is basically just a long, detailed description of what you would like your game to be: specific mechanics and systems you want to include, what the gameplay loop will be, the audiovisual style, everything. Include images mood-board style for your future artist(s). This document will give you an idea of the assets you'll need, as well as what you'll need to learn as far as coding. It doesn't have to be followed to the letter, but it's a good place to start.

  • What happened on your worst birthday?

    Jump

  • I learned that the lump I'd had biopsied on my neck was a pair of thyroid tumors that were suspicious for cancer, and that the whole organ would need to be removed. After pathology, it turned out not to be malignant, which is lucky, but that was a pretty unpleasant few months and now I have to take thyroid replacement hormones for the rest of my life. The doc still hasn't got my dose quite right, so I just kind of low-key feel like shit all the time. It takes a couple months before we know if a new dosage is working better or worse. Hopefully they'll have it figured out by my next birthday...

  • what's your favorite thing to put ketchup on that isn't fries?

    Jump

  • I did not mean to leave any comment. Not sure what happened there.

  • Lego plans to make half the plastic in bricks from renewable materials by 2026

    Jump

  • LEGO are the plastic equivalent of the direct carbon capture idea! Buy enough LEGO and eventually all plastic will be LEGO! This is a joke but not sarcasm I love LEGOs.

  • The two types of DMs

    Jump

  • A good DM is both of these. They want you to feel that the danger is real, because higher stakes means the narrative payoff feels earned. They want you to feel like the world is wonderous, so that it feels like a thing worth fighting for.

  • Do you have any OC's? Can you tell us about any?

    Jump

  • I get that OC can mean lots of things, but I think most people in this thread are willfully misunderstanding you because of preconceived biases about original characters being 'childish.'

    I will instead attempt to engage in good faith. Here is an original character I conceived for a Star Control D&D game I ran.

    Archivist Ryll (pictured at right) is an Yllk who joined the crew after they performed a mission to help him study an anomalous neutron star. He is pragmatic and cheerful, and always game to help out, but dislikes authority figures. He lost his rear legs in an accident involving IDF (interdimensional fatigue). He is shown here in the epilogue of the campaign in his capacity as archivist, assisting with the official documents as the Alliance of Free Stars signs a formal cease-fire with the VUX Admiralty after the Battle of the Sa-Matra and subsequent dissolution of the Ur-Quan Hierarchy of Battle Thralls.

  • Doctors, what was some of your worst patients?

    Jump

  • People usually see doctors when something has gone very wrong with their life. It's scary when your body backs you into a corner, and fear makes people act stupid and angry. I would hope they could be given a little bit of slack.

  • I recognize and sympathize with the energy of this comment. I have also had a medical setback recently that is making it really hard for me to exercise. I had a tumor removed and they took my thyroid out with it, and something is not right with the replacement meds. It is tough to make people understand just how awful it can be to feel exhausted and irritable and confused every single day. What happened to you sucks, and it isn't fair, and it's okay to not be okay with it. For what it's worth, I hope your bone does grow back.

  • Are you suggesting my good Mr. Baggins of Bagshot Row, Hobbiton is not a god among burglars?

    "WISE FWOM YOUW GWAVE!"

    "WELL-COME TO-YOUR-DOOM!"

    Never got past like the 3rd level.

  • Anyone else like to fall asleep when they're extremely tired?

    Jump

  • I hate sleeping under any circumstances.

  • what's your favorite thing to put ketchup on that isn't fries?

    Jump

  • Sorry for the potentially controversial question: is it normal for less attractive people to settle down with partners they don't find physically attractive?

    Jump

  • 'Normal' isn't the most useful word for describing human interactions. It's always going to be biased by your culture, upbringing and life experience.

    A lot of people here are saying that people become more attractive as you get close to them, and I'm sure that's true--for them. Just to offer an alternative perspective, I find people less physically attractive the better I know them. I still love them and enjoy their company, and I wouldn't trade them for anything, but I just don't really want to be physically intimate with them past a certain point. I'm very independent and probably just not cut out for that kind of long-term relationship, but I'm also very open about it when talking to potential romantic partners. I don't want them putting all their eggs in one basket, especially when that basket is full of holes.

  • Famous last words?

    Jump

  • I went to my boss to ask for some time off and she reminded me that I had already requested the same days off weeks ago, been approved, talked about plans, then forgotten all of it.
