LiterallyLoki's advice/blog thread

i was just playing this dude pod race original had me in shambles

just last night i was doing new town and wandered around for half an hour trying to find what i was missing, went to look it up, found out i was missing one flower from the church and that was it

it was like a solid five seconds between getting the last flower to the coins appearing to where i jumped and audibly gasped it scared the shit out of me

mid typing this i sneezed cereal all over myself :pensive:

I want you to imagine it on an ultrawide. See, older lego games struggle with the newer monitors and and computers. So as a result, I get frame losses suddenly during cutscenes exclusively, so… yeah.

Pod race becomes a literal hellscape.

are you just on 1920x1080 pc? at least on the wii version it has a wide screen option, but maybe it’s just because they had to optimize for a console release

…3440x1440…? PC…

oh yeah in that case i got no clue good luck unless you can run it windowed lol

was waiting for you to come online. i’m here with a more serious question on the topic of queerness since i assume you know alot about it

I don’t really know what gender I want to be and i’ve been pondering on this for awhile. Is there a way to sample what it’s like being a woman and is it possible to do it without getting disowned and kicked out by my parents while also avoiding being shunned by everyone else

What started my realization I was genderfluid was how I’d load up a game where I played a girl (fallout 4, if I remember, black widow perk) and then I’d want to change my gender of my character in the middle.

What helps is usually testing. Ask a friend online to call you a girl, see if it feels… well, decent. Fitting. Catch me in games like fallout with two files, one a male, one a female, because I like being able to switch. It feels right.

Games are good test. BG3, she/her pronouns dragonborn, absolutely banger character (sock has witnessed me kill so many innocents.)

But, please, keep in mind that your gender, your identity shouldn’t be something you feel you have to hide. You are gorgeous the way you are, and the people who disagree do not truly care for you.

Plagues be upon them, my friend. Plagues.

Agree to disagree, Actravaz (Alcatraz HAHA)

hihihi

I do the same lol but with like 6 alarms until 730 and even then I sleep through all of them

You all have probably seen me yap about this enough in the past 19 hours, but I feel it’s something worth bringing here. I’ll try shut up for the most part after this

How does one resolve a gender crisis? In my case, I used to be quite feminine, and I was also a late bloomer, and then I suddenly just went more masculine. Now that I’ve experienced both sides, I feel myself wishing for some of that femininity - not fully, but enough to strike a comfortable balance. Except I don’t feel I identify as a female, and so now I’ve lost all track of my gender identity.

If anyone can help it’d be appreciated :+1:

it’s okay to present more feminine while your gender isn’t that
what’s most important is that you feel comfortable in your own body.
you’ll have to experiment how far you want to go though, since you’re the only person who would really know that

Personally, I’ve stopped thinking about gender altogether. Entire thing is based on subjective social ideals. Like, one person’s “masculine” is another’s “reckless and idiotic”, and one person’s “feminine” is another’s “undignified and vain”. And even in milder cases, it’s all just a subjective outlook.

Just be you, and don’t fret about having to be one or the other. You are who you want to be, and that’s that.

Agreed

Gamehero I goddamn love you, I’m naming gamehero my deputy for whenever I’m gone doing whatever (in this case, almost going to the ER, and yes, I am fine, it was just a private matter.)

Something I did to try more feminine “vibes” was makeup, doing exercises to give me a slight curve, and HEAVY cardio (my wife is so sweet, she loves how I look no matter what, I don’t deserve this woman.)

But, yeah, there’s no NEED to get a certain appearance. Dress how you want, as long as its appropriate, and love your body, because you are something beautiful to me.

Also, to those who keep apologizing for what I dealt with, thank you, but trust me, the “I feel sympathy for you” thing doesn’t make it better - I’m not something to be stared at, I tell my trauma because it means that I know the signs of a bad person, of someone who is a danger. I am wise, call me Gandalf the way I be guiding these fools :skull:

but fr, thank you all, I am fine though. You all mostly know that I basically wear my trauma as a badge of “I may be immortal, because I’ve somehow NOT died despite it all” (well I did for a few seconds as a newborn but that’s beside the point)

But yeah, Gamehero, youre my second in command, also, MY GOD is this topic long :sob:

If the thread can’t reach an automated Part 2, then it isn’t long enough.

Anyway this is totally not a question I pulled out of my eye sockets so I wouldn’t make this reply a waste of space, but what are your favorite weapons? I’ve been working on a game concept for months now (inspired by bullet hells like Touhou, as well as AO/WoM), and have weapons designated as the bullet-clearing ability. So far I have these.

General idea is that the player could press G or F to attempt a parry an attack, and if successful, they fire off the currently-selected skill on their weapon along with taking almost no damage. Planning to add Daggers, Bows, and Crossbows here too, if I can think of enough stuff for them.

My favorite weapons?

Medieval wise, shortswords, spears, and daggers. Shortswords like a gladius, a spear with an almost curved look to it? mm. delicious. And daggers are… well, I play rogue and glass cannons primarily so…

If modern-esque are options, handcannons and snipers. Maybe miniguns, if possible. I tend to go for either a stealth build or a run & gun, and the gun is usually a minigun, so…
