STORMCROW'S PROFILE

And some sane people hate Trump enough they don't want him in power next time, even if it means cheating MURDER.

Fixed that for you.

Ah, here it is. Homeless people can vote by using the location of the place they sleep as an address. No problem with that. Although it does tend to make things harder.

I have trouble believing this. I moved to a new state and was unable to vote in the midterm election due to not having an in-state ID acquiring which requires proof of 90 days of in-state residency at a fixed address.

I also think that homeless people probably aren't exactly beating down the doors to vote because you know, they're homeless and have more immediate things to worry about.

What typically happens when extreme leftism takes over. People die, including the people backing the movement. Anyone in favor of their own rights, should not favor any system that takes the rights of others, for they never know when they too will stop being useful and become the new oppressed.

Except this is, you know, the inverse of what's happening to this country, where a far-right movement has taken over and that is going to cause people's deaths?

Don't get me wrong, the left, I'll even go so far as saying the "alt left", definitely owns the American CULTURE, but the far right owns American SOCIETY, and culture cannot make up for society.

it still blows my mind that the USA doesn't have a non-partisan body in charge of elections. Canada has Elections Canada. The rest of the democratic world has figured it out. My take is that there is a lot of false pride in "American Exceptionalism" that collectively blinds them to potentially better alternatives to systems they came up with themselves.

While not wanting to do anything the way Canada does it is a good and lofty goal...my God the American two-party first-past-the-post system is an abomination that needs to die. I'm not saying direct democracy doesn't have its issues, it very well may, but it falls under the umbrella of "VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING" that would be better than our current system.

most places in the US are required to give employees some level of time off (in many cases paid) to vote.

Do keep in mind though the key word there is employees. In the "gig economy" more and more working Americans are independent contractors, not actual employees (Uber/Lyft is the main offender there, but there are tons more). I worked for years as an IC for a company that treated me like an employee and expected everything they would of me they would of an employee, but gave me none of the benefits of being an actual employee in spite of having none of the freedom an IC should have. This is pretty standard practice cause big evil corporations gonna big evil corporation. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if less working Americans were actual employees of the company they work for than at any other time in American history.

Responded to your PM. There was one other person who contacted me by PM first, but that was a week ago so I don't know if they've already started, they're almost finished, they forgot about it, or what. In any case, thank you!

None of those seem like strong arguments against doing it in RPG Maker. Mouse support is native to MV and I'd be shocked if it wasn't available in VX(A). Resource management and exploration are obviously as possible to do in RM as in any other engine. I don't honestly even know what "creating a visual aesthetic that would suffer in an RPG Maker engine" means. The RPG Maker Engine can support a nigh-infinite diversity of visual aesthetics, and certainly the one indicated by the screenshot you've shown.

Ordinarily I don't butt in and tell people what engine to make their games in. But the OP seems to indicate that C# is causing you a great deal of stress, and I'd imagine IGMC is pretty stressful anyway, not that I've ever done one.

@Faye this is a good object lesson on how to write dialogue.

That is, you don't insert fancy words in there just 'cause. We put them in there because the character would say it (Watanabe is obviously team brain here), or because there is no word to replace the concept (psychomagnetotheric for instance referring to EM frequencies of mental origin). Storm Crow's dialogue is perfect (especially when Watanabe describes a save point).

Well, I don't know about perfect, but thank you! Writing is what I used to do/am currently trying to do/want to do in the future for a living after all so I should hope it's at least pretty good.

that tower is pretty lame, especially compared to the grungy exterior maps.

That is somewhat intentional, that is to say, I did not intend for Voidsreach Tower to look "lame", but I did very much intend for it to look like RTP 101.

Please use some common sense, people.

That aside, StormCrow, that font is really ugly. Could you perhaps find something that doesn't look like it got shoved in a vice?

Wow, people here really fucking hate narrow fonts. Did narrow fonts murder half of RMN's family or something? Okay that makes five or six separate people taking issue with the font and 2 (not counting myself) who had no issue with it by my count, so yes I will change the font.

I do always play in full screen and I am pretty sure it does look better there.

Part of the weirdness of the font display probably might come from the fact that it is Bold-by-default.

(unity is one of maybe 4-6 people on this site where if she takes the time to pop into one of my games and make a suggestion I will just immediately unquestioningly follow it)
