--- canceled on offset, but not all, like any that say turn start/turn end on the skill.

Jay🪶 | beginner artist | @hurtmenot.bsky.social · 10/06/2025

the extra funny thing is once you learn about offset, the specifics can be obtuse and misleading, like it telling you youre offsetting a counter or clashable guard, but that doesnt actually work since offset can only be used on normal guard or evade, or that certain effects of defense skills get ---

like a simple example would be, killing an enemy with poison makes your poison skills stronger or something, maybe with diminishing returns to also incentivize killing enemies in different ways each time.

def agree with everything in this thread and just wanna add, i think communicating and incentivizing actions other than attack are important too, beyond just making them more optimal. players will often mash attack even if it kills in 3 turns if theres a more complicated strat that kills in 2

theres obviously some good games being made at big companies still, but all the good devs there make good games in spite of their company, not because of them. honestly, i view most AAA games as a separate thing entirely from video games, they exist as a business and video games exist as art.

tbh despite everything else thats wrong with living in current era, its a really good era for video games imo, since its now more accessible than ever for people to make indie games. indie games are where all the innovation happens and all the new creative ideas come from.

since getting my tablet and switching to drawing digitally, i definitely notice im drawing less, and not just studying and practicing basic stuff, but on stuff i wanna draw too. i think being on my computer while drawing just makes me too easily distracted

also not being constrained by physical paper, and being able to undo and edit whatever, however many times i wanted, ended up making me want to make tiny adjustments and waste hours changing basically nothing, theres a ton i wanna fix about this but id rather move on and learn more going forward

Jay🪶 | beginner artist | @hurtmenot.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

my first digital drawing, after getting my tablet i started on this, and then realized i didnt know what i was doing at all in csp, so i spent a while just figuring out the tools and messing around. also, physically drawing on a tablet also was a lot less intuitive than i thought it would be.

the drawing, so i feel i end up learning less since theres a limit on how much i can adjust things while im doing them, without having to start entirely over on a blank paper.

Jay🪶 | beginner artist | @hurtmenot.bsky.social · 23/04/2025

no loss of motivation, that i feel like i can justify it. i still would like draw with traditional media but i feel like its really slowing the learning process, since coloring with pencils takes probably 3-4x as long, and constantly erasing while trying to figure things out ruins the paper and ---

i like both luna nights and deedlit in wonder labyrinth, but they felt a little bit too short/linear/easy to really make it to my favs, great games for sure tho. ty for the recommendations, as ambitious as it may be, i plan to play every game in my library and wishlist eventually.

i got la-mulana 2 when it first came out but also still havent gotten around to playing it much, ive been waiting for a time when i know i can sit and play it for a long time at once, and then more and more time passes. of the 5 you mentioned, rabi-ribi is the only one ive played and its also

i just realized i drew her left hand backwards when i first sketched what i wanted the drawing to be, i had her holding the bow with her right hand, then swapped it when i did the full drawing, but then used the sketch i did initially as the reference without thinking

i spent the past two weeks doing anatomy practices and watching tutorial videos, and although i feel like i know a lot more than i did before, my drawings are 0% improved i know 2 weeks isnt a long time or anything, its just kinda discouraging with how much effort i feel like i put in in that time

I read Demian after first playing Limbus, and I think they intentionally made Sinclair very ambiguous on purpose since the story of Sinclair in Demian is all about being town between opposites, and his egg icon is symbolic of Abraxas, a hermaphroditic god, who is the embodiment of that concept also
