Indeed  Spriting is fun~

Ahh I do art but have never done sprite art..I don't really know where to start >x<

Yeah, it helps if you have programs like GIMP, Pyxel Art, Game Character Hub, and so on.

I even have Sprite Creator 3 (a Java based little applet that lets one use Mack style characters to create some very nice sprites).

Time loops can be pretty well executed if done right, it's always nice for the viewer/player to experience something in a different way and thus gain more knowledge into the lore. It's very rewarding. 

Oops! I forgot to remove a spoiler-y document from the game's files. Lemmie fix that.

Demo is here, doods.

So, it is as I had thought; navel stones are a lot like blackheads, or DPOWs...

You might be checking for tiny lacerations; I know that I have one because of a botched appendectomy.

^^It wasn't botched. I had the doctors plant a time bomb inside you. Speaking of which, why are you alive right now? Oh riiight today is Wednesday. Mwahahahaaaa!

Small bombs, you say?

Not even a time frame? Even cable companies give a time frame :/

Well, good luck. Try not to worry yourself to death while you're waiting. Try to keep busy so you don't have time to dwell on it. 

I just hope you're not in a lot of pain... 

I treat pain with whiskey. Best medicine ever! 

Hernias are absolutely no joke; they can lead to even greater problems including fatal internal bleeding.

It can also lead to infertility/sterility. Take care of yourself, and stay off that skateboard for a bit (not implying you do skate but a lot of professional athletes especially those that partake in extreme sports tend to be at a much higher risk for developing hernias-especially when one slams their groin on a rail).

Take care, dear...

*hugs you tight* Take care of yourself okay?

Wishing you the best m8!

Honestly I think most of them do, at least partly. I won't deny that armature developers sometimes have problems with proper testing, but it's sometimes hard to tell with bugs if it's an issue that the developer just never caught because they never tested, if it's an issue that the developer never caught because of the way they were testing (for example, testing each part as it was added from a saved game or new game without playing it all the way through), if it's an issue the developer never caught simply because it was conditional on something to do with your computer or that you did that the developer didn't expect, or even if they did catch it but didn't think it was a big deal at the time and just wanted the game out.

It is sometimes easy to do last minute changes that 'should work' and forget to test them, but I find it hard to believe that developers don't test their games at all. Most often the problem is more that they test badly then not testing at all, but proper professional-style testing and bug tracking is really tricky and often doesn't even completely eliminate bugs. Don't even get me started on proper version control.

@Kayzee I don't even know what to think of the video you linked...

Version control? Version == 1

What? I like the grumps.

Anyway by version control I mean more like github stuff, keeping track of all the changes you make to your project no matter how small.

The original ending was terrible. Partly because of the very poor quality of said spider. The first half of the movie was the best; the second was kinda meh. I'm glad it was split into two movies. The remake is solely about the Loser's Club in their youth, and there is a lot more room to develop the characters and really drive how deep their bond goes. The movies is as much about the bonds of friendship being able to overcome anything- including fear itself- as it is about an evil entity eating children. 

Haunted technology just seems like a genre destined for failure, to be honest.

There's a reason why 95% of the stories in the genre are just Creepypasta.

I always wondered what would happen if haunted technology got in the hands of a really good hacker, one who could actually figure out how it worked. The closest thing I have seen to that were the original Megami Tensei novels (yes, Shin Megami Tensei ultimately is based on a couple of cheap pulp sci-fi/horror novels, and so is Parasite Eve for that matter).

I was once playing a P&P RPG with some friends, and we decided to play a horror game while we ate pizza for dinner.

We ended up playing SCP Containment Breach version 0.2, so it was pretty new and pretty spooky. I'll tell you, 7 people gathered around a computer as the tension rises for 15 minutes, all for it to blow up in one quick jump-scare - it's not something you forget. I don't think I'll ever lose the collective "OHHHHH!!" from our crowd.

@TobiObito4ever- Lolz. Now that's some A+ parenting =D

Real mature, Pops...

Okay, that's cool.

I noticed one thing; there's a good bit of silly looking battlers in the lot.

However, there's also some really awesome ones too.

Still looking for a ghostly/ghastly kind though... 

How ghastly we talking? Like "straight up horror" ghastly? Because ohohoho~ Mazeran and qud have quite some spooky ones.

(Though, some of qud's battlers are on the NSFW side. Just a heads up)

NSFW? Like that bugs me (I like battlers with human sized bulges in them so...)

Yup, been there. I've made my screw ups too.

Makes sense to me! Wild west post-apocalyptic sci-fi is a thing after all. Haven't you ever seen Trigun?

[spoilers]Okay, okay, it's actually less 'post-apocalyptic' and more 'lost colony' but that's just details.[/spoilers]

Ooops guess that doesn't work in status updates or I did it wrong. Oh well.

The ISP can't magically send you software that automatically installs it's self unless you install something from them first, nor can they magically block everything that might be harmful. If you have malware it's either because of something you installed, or you haven't done enough to protect yourself. Haven't you ever heard of Hanlon's Razor? What's really more likely: An evil ISP being evil and sneaky about screwing you over in a way that doesn't really get them much, or you getting screwed over because you have an old computer with an old OS and you probobly don't have nearly as much protection as you think you do?

My suggestion? If you can't afford a new computer at least try do get an up to date OS and software. I hear some people say Windows 10 actually runs fine on older computers while others insist it doesn't. Of course Windows 10 has it's own problems. Linux is actually perfect for older computers though because of how optimized it is. If you install a version of linux, like perhaps a lightweight distro like Linux Mint, Ubuntu MATE, or Xubuntu, you can get Virtual Box and wine to run your windows programs. It's a little inconvenient to use Virtual Box for VX Ace, but it works. But you shouldn't need to install a new OS I think, as long as you block most ads and scripts on most websites and find ways to disable lots of risky windows services and other buggy things, I think that should be mostly enough.

Of course, I already do this, at least, what I am able to do cost free.

I tried running Win10 when I had the chance to upgrade for free, and I had more problems and blue screen crashes within a week of the upgrade than I did for a month after I first got the bloody computer.

Before I try running a new OS like Linux, I first need to back up all my files, and right now, I haven't the needed external drive space to do so (in fact I have none at all).

Of course, given I don't know Linux well, I don't know how well I could use it...

A good linux distro really isn't that different from windows in terms of basic usability. Sometimes even easier to use in ways.

I love the package system most distros use for example. It makes installing and upgrading stuff really really easy, It's like all the best features of an app store (if all or at least most of the apps were free), the system application list, and automatic updates all rolled into one. Seriously, it has just about everything. Almost any kind of program that is compatible will be there. All of the programs are vetted and made sure to be more or less reliable. Don't even bother searching the web, just search the package repository it will usually pop up, from image manipulation tools to drivers to snes emulators. If you want to install it, the package manager will find all the needed libraries and other programs needed to run it for you and mark them to be installed.

All packages can be automatically upgraded or you can set it to simply show you and manually confirm, or you can even manually upgrade any one you want. If you need a particular version, they usually allow you to pick out of several options of what version to install. You can even choose what package repositories you want to use and anyone can set up their own, so if there isn't something in your distro's repo yet, you can often find other ones that will have it or whoever makes the software will set one up.

This is the sort of thing windows really REALLY needs, Not simply a shitty storefront and a small Microsoft curated list of drivers both of witch you probobly need to pay Microsoft for the privilege of using while to get most of the good stuff you need to muck about online and install random programs from random sites (or use steam), but something that is unified, open, decentralized, and safe because an active community of dedicated people do their best to make sure it is.

Phew... maybe I ranted to much about that. But my point is, linux is awesome.

So a mandelbug? Could be worse, could have to deal with heisenbugs or schrödinbugs. Heaven forbid a hindenbug!

Indeed; sometimes, you have a bug you get a workaround for, then bam, you get another issue down the road you hadn't come across yet, and then it is all back to square damn one...

There are times when I want to smack the living ssssssssssssss outta my computer....this would be one example (thankfully I'm not really dealing with this at the moment...)

Computers are like that, and really so is everything else. You fix what you can, and hope what you can't is minor enough not to bother with.

I hear ya. It isn't easy, being an artist, especially in this day and age...

I disagree Takeo. Sometimes the brick blocks in Mario have coins in them :3

But they also contain some baddies that like to land on your head!

@Kayzee I do that all the time  It works for me, but it probably doesn't work for everyone. It's still a good route to explore though. I remember doing free writing exercises in school. You literally just write anything that pops into your head down on paper. The start will most likely just be a bunch of random nonsense you can't use, but as you keep going sometimes your mind finds a good track and you end up with something you can work with.

I can just do it in my head at this point, but it helps to get it down on paper especially if you're having writer's block.

lolz

Nice meme, dad...

I need to visit gensanko sometime, there are lots of fairies living there! Which is fitting because it's basically another offspringing like Fairyland. You wouldn't believe how many of them there are actually, like all those wizards in the UK who live in one for example.

I'm a Gensokyo Cat. Mew.

Such a cute one too! Yes you are! *pets the gensokyo cat and scratches behind her ears*

Ouch. I hope that qualifies for a refund/free fix...

Shouldn't be too great of an expense. What, ten, fifteen bucks? (I think)
