spriting is hard why didn't anyone tell me

I told you about stairs bro, I warned you

spriting is fun why didn't anyone tell me

You just haven't gotten to the pain yet

There's so much fun stuff here

Yeah, a while ago I decided to try and visit the forums more often. I went through the completed games and downloaded a bunch of stuff, cause I realized over all these years I never made time to actually play RM games. Going back through the lists and posting on the forum reminded me of why I like making games in RM despite how janky and shitty it can be.

Still enjoy the discord though, always a nice little break from work to go and chat with people. I probably spend more time there than most because I have a few foreign friends I talk to every day, but only through Discord PMs.

Making games is harder than I thought

The story of my life since College

It's me. I'm the hero.

You're the hero, and this is your realm

I did it. I did the thing.

Ouch, two at once, too. I can sympathize, last time I had a wisdom tooth out they had to carve part of my jawbone off to get it out... After that I remember having to leave college halfway through the day cause it was so painful I couldn't concentrate, lmao

Hope you feel better soon!

So I've just found out a roundtrip ticket to the Philippines + 1 wisdom tooth extraction is STILL cheaper than a local wisdom tooth extraction. FML.

It's ridiculous what the discrepancy is between dentists from country to country.
Here in Canada, and probably the US too, we have travel agencies that specialize in setting up trips to Mexico for major dental work. You can get your entire mouth done for $10-20,000 as opposed to $4,000 per tooth. And it's not like you're getting poorly educated dentists or some such. Most of them are retired dentists who set up shop in Mexico because they actually make more due to the larger take-home percentage.

Perhaps I'm a starry eyed youth here but 4000$ per tooth? How... Who is charging that?

Last time I had dental work done (I wasnt on my parents insurance) I spent a total of 500$ on a wisdom tooth removal and surgery on my lower jaw (removing bone to get the tooth out + laughing gas expense.

4000$ per tooth?

I miss when I was passionate and devoted to game development

If you let yourself give up on it then that's not gonna come back. You gotta just do it with or without the motivation or inspiration and keep that bastard alive.

Got an idea out of nowhere. As for reviewers, we should have gamerscore as well.

cryptocurrency keeps getting more and more esoteric

Do you guys decide the titles of your games thinking how easy it will be to Google it? I do.

All mine are happy accidents tbh, but I did do that for my username and I'm basically the entire first results page now
