I've been studying story and dialogue lately in a deep way. Considering writing an article about it; but then thinking to myself... How about you utilize the learnings and truly come to grips with it before trying to share with the class.

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

Actually, forcing yourself to write/say something in a way that understandably teaches others knowledge is one of the best ways to make sure you really understand that knowledge yourself.

I keep reading phrases like "Parallax Mapping" and "REFMAP" and each time I think "The hell is that? How come I've never tried to do it, what are the benefits of whatever these are? How do you know they even exist!?"

Then I realize I've been reading such phrases for the past 5 years and asking myself these questions and I still don't know what they mean
do I even RPGmaker!?
I was confused by parallax mapping at first too until I realized it was rm dev lingo talking about the technical implementation rather than the final product
parallax mapping is basically using parallaxes and images in addition to tiles in order to add a more detailed aspect to maps. The reason it's called Parallax is because that was the name of the under-tile map backgrounds you could add, and they're usually used as floors in said mapping type. One of the best games to come from Parallax mapping is Sunset Over Imdahl - which used images, tiles and parallaxes to create a visual masterpiece.

Nowdays it is in reference to people using background images and overlay pictures in place of tiles to add clutter and non-grid-bound imagery to their maps. For example, drawing pathing that would not be possible if using grid-bound tiles.


REFMAP is another name for Mack tiles. It has a few names.

I don't want to be a panhandler, however we're in a tight spot... Our big dog attacked our little dog. The whole thing is a nightmare, and came out of nowhere. Needless to say, we are not financially prepared for this sort of thing. My gf is trying to raise money for the situation. Anyone who could help is amazing.

I've gotten a few like that and I tell them basically the same but they never ended up doing any articles despite getting the go-ahead. What exactly do they want us to say in order for them to do the thing?

That really sucks for everybody and I'm glad the campaign is working out so well, I'll throw some in tonight after work. The decision of what to do with Kali couldn't have been easy either :(

I've come to realize mafia is just a collective conspiracy to inflate post count.
There is no other possible reason.
None.

We love Kali as much as Toshiro. The choice was bleak, but the ending is happy. A guy with an animal sanctuary said he's willing to take Kali in and let her live there. She's going to have a good life, I hope. Much better than the unthinkable.
That's good but still bittersweet, I hope Toshiro recovers quickly and Kali likes the sanctuary.
