Don't forget the toba eruption, the black plague, conquest of the Mongols lead by Genghis Khan, the Aztec Empire conquering neighboring tribes and those brutal sacrifices they made to their sun god, WW1 and WW2, etc.

Europeans colonisation and genocide of half the world, fall of some early civilisations such as the Indus, countless wars in China such as the Three Kingdoms, countless slave trades and brutality, major natural disasters, countless famines from Ireland to Ethiopia, political unrest, cruel as **** regimes from Mao Zedong to Oliver Cromwell etc.

May I continue?

 

[Deleted member]

Well you know I or anyone else here can always lend an ear. I'm just cooking food.

... I just want to be loved.

Not in a romantic way.

But in a way that I feel people genuiely want me alive and being happy instead of dead and out of their lifes.

Meeting with people who actually celebrate with joy my presence instead of fearing me ****ing their lifes up like everyone reacted to Ralph coming to Felix's party in Wreck-It-Ralph you know.

If you have any more to bring up you may.

Regarding European colonization. Disease played a bigger part then genocide though the latter was still pretty bad especially regarding the Australian Aboriginals.

I’m really proud of myself.
I was able to successfully start the oven and make a grilled cheese sandwich without burning the house down.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

I only own a Shulk amiibo.

I guess you were really feeling that amiibo, eh?

Don't forget the toba eruption, the black plague, conquest of the Mongols lead by Genghis Khan, the Aztec Empire conquering neighboring tribes and those brutal sacrifices they made to their sun god, indigenous tribes in Africa, New World, Polynesia and Australia engaging in small scale wars, WW1 and WW2, etc.

But there's something the Spanish Flu has that's unique

THEY WORE MASKS

 

[Megadoomer]

My suggestion is to focus less on coding and more on concepts. If you really want to get it off the ground, it's better to ask for help on balance etc. and team up with other coders.

Especially if you've never fully made a game before. Even my first ideal game? Oh, I'm getting help alright. No way I can get all the sprite designs right etc. Best I can do is touch up the ideas.

Have you been to College for game designing? Where do you specialize in?

I never took any kind of coding classes, but I was able to code characters for Mugen back in high school, so it seems easy enough to get into.

I've been making a Dragon Ball Z/One Piece crossover Mugen game, so I think I'll try to focus on that again. (I'm well aware that the crossover makes no sense as a fighting game, but I'm a fan of both series and the sprites mesh together well) I don't need to worry about sprites (I ripped a ton of the One Piece ones myself), and while Robin is my main problem (her Devil Fruit is something of a nightmare to come up with a moveset for in a 2D fighting game, and the sprites aren't very clear about how she's attacking in the original game), I can try skipping her and jumping to Franky.

Sure, why not?

Yep

But Glee did a good job too

I was just thinking about an idea for Marvel vs. Capcom.

In my hypothetical reality, Marvel, Capcom, IDW, and Udon all reach a special agreement.

Capcom agrees to make a new title in the series, Disney agrees to loosen the restrictions... a smidge.

Capcom agrees to grant IDW the licence to make comic books based off of their franchises. Including reviving Ian Flynn's Mega Man comics formerly under Archie. Udon agrees to sub-licence the Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, and Rival Schools franchise to IDW, for the purpose of creating a joint Capcom shared comic universe between it's properties.

Udon agrees to collaborate with Marvel on the sprites and background art for an HD remake/remaster of MvC2, similar to Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix. Like Ultra Street Fighter II you can select to play with either modern or classic graphics. Primary development is helmed by Iron Galaxy. The other arcade Marvel vs. Capcom titles are compiled into a collection. UMvC3 and MvCI are ported to Switch.

Finally, IDW and Marvel create a run of one-shot crossover Marvel vs. Capcom comics, in the same vein as the DC and Looney Tunes Crossovers. The titles are as follows.

Spoiler

Wave 1

• Spider-Verse/Mega Man (yes, every Mega Man series)
• X-Men/Street Fighter

Noice. I only had small thoughts for some MUGEN characters. But never really worked on it.

Mostly cause I can't code for crap. No experience. RPG Maker is an easy thing in comparison, and not even Zelda Classic I've done well with, heh.

Daredevil in Ace Attorney is too perfect.

I also would love to see how a Hulk/Resident Evil crossover would play out.

 

[dezeray112]

If we're supposed to get fight game news soon, that'll be pretty dope. We know Tekken's got stuff in the pipeline, given their statements during EVO. And SFV probably has at least some progress on one character.

With Tekken, I'm certain they will unveil a new DLC character and any further content they have and Capcom did say that there will be further news on the latest season pass content for Street Fighter V during this summer.

Avengers 4.5/Captain Marvel 2 is sounding like it'll be hype as ****

The whole plot is Umbrella wants Hulk to enhance their BOWs with Gamma Tech and Chris and Jill are assigned to find/protect Dr. Banner.

I remember I was thinking of a random quote, not for my story but in general about a kid asking an adult why the world isn't a paradise.

The adult replies "ask me again after the 1,000th collapse of civilisation".

... I just want to be loved.
Not in a romantic way.
But in a way that I feel people genuiely want me alive and being happy instead of dead and out of their lifes.
Meeting with people who actually celebrate with joy my presence instead of fearing me ****ing their lifes up like everyone reacted to Ralph coming to Felix's party in Wreck-It-Ralph you know.

Well dude, I like you as you're a decent human. One of my closest friends on here and honestly, one of the few who I probably hope to make the attempt to meet IRL in the future if everything goes well. And about six other people fall in that category I'd say.

I like talking to people, I just think it's the tongue (meaning my speech) I've been raised in that makes me hard to approach sometimes.

 

[Deleted member]

'sup guys, today's been a good day. I finally got a working PS1 again, completely free. It's amazing what people just throw away. Even came with 3 controllers (1 cheap third-party one) and an original memory card.

Other than that, I've been playing Katamari Reroll an I love it. Just annoyed that Namco never fixed the obvious texture issue with the galaxy background.

Yeah, in the end I find it’s best to either a) get help or b) pick something that is creative without becoming so ambitious that it becomes discouraging.

I ended up focusing on a kaiju card game that I play with my friends. It’s probably not going out into the world, but it’s something achievable that gets played by others and still lets me have a creative outlet.

So that Duck Dodgers theme made me want to ask if you guys have any cartoon/tv show themes that you think are underrated? I remember this theme being a huge bop when I was younger and I still enjoy it to this day:

 

[Deleted member]

Honestly I have a few weird game ideas, but aside from the little I know about game design I can't exactly make it a reality.

1 is essentially a mashup of Character Shooters(Tf2, Overwatch, Paladins, etc) and the card based combat system of that one Kingdom Hearts game, which the only thing I've decided on is the name; QuartzWars, and a few rough character concepts. I just thought it sounded cool tbh.

Another, more traditional game idea, is one where you play as the only religious person left in the world. You find proof of your deity, and thus have to go on a quest to convert those eVil Atheists(btw no I'm not religious, hence how I came up with the concept in the first place. A kind of "reverse cliche" religious-based story) aside from the premise I don't really have anything else.

Those are really the only two I keep on coming back too; the rest of my ideas I feel are too generic or are lost to time.

I'd say that both the Transformers Prime main theme and the intro for Pokémon Advanced Battle are underrated:

 

[Megadoomer]

Since I figure nothing will come of it, I might as well post the idea that I had for an indie fighting game roster.

Top row: Quote (Cave Story), the Goose (Untitled Goose Game), the Knight (Hollow Knight), Crow (Nefarious)
Middle row: Cuphead (Cuphead), Sans (Undertale), Sash Lilac (Freedom Planet)
Bottom row: Madeline (Celeste), Shantae (Shantae), Meat Boy (Super Meat Boy), Shovel Knight (Shovel Knight), Cadence (Crypt of the NecroDancer)

I had some ideas for characters that I left out because their mechanics wouldn't work well or wouldn't be fun to play (V from VVVVV, Dandara from Dandara, Tim from Braid), they'd be a nightmare to animate if I ever actually tried it (Octodad from Octodad: Dadliest Catch, the creature from Carrion), they wouldn't mesh well with the rest of the line-up in terms of design (Miriam from Bloodstained, Juan from Guacamelee - picking them would make most matches seem like fighting Yoda in Soul Calibur 4), or I wasn't sure if they qualified as indie or not. (Ori from Ori and the Blind Forest)

The final boss would be Mega Satan from the Binding of Isaac, though it would just be based on the first phase if I couldn't figure out how to get a two-stage battle going.

Admittedly, I haven't played much of Shantae or Crypt of the NecroDancer, so I'm not sure if there are better choices out there. (I died on the first non-tutorial level of NecroDancer, so I feel like it's a hard game; not sure if Cadence of Hyrule is more accessible, or if there's something that I'm missing)

 

[Wademan94]

First time I heard the Advance Battle theme since I was a kid was King of Skill’s Lucario montage, I completely forgot about it until then.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Okay. Because it looks like there are a lot of possible options for this, to people who have actually played the Battle Network and Star Force games, which of their many abilities would be the best equivalent to the Boss Weapons from the other Mega Man franchises?

... I just want to be loved.

Not in a romantic way.

But in a way that I feel people genuiely want me alive and being happy instead of dead and out of their lifes.

I appreciate you and want you alive ):
Don't forget about our discord chat, you're always welcome in there if you need someone to talk to

Think it would be fun. And also I don't interact with my family and just saw one of my two IRL friends for the first time in months a few days ago.

Hell I'd be up for voice chat at some point.

 

[Alicorn]

I highly anticipate that there are going to be a load of new stuff unveiled there and like you said, it will be stuff that was meant to be planned for EVO before it was cancelled.

In addition:

As someone who have been cooking rice since my teens, I've never seen this kind of bizarre method of cooking rice.

What's wrong with it?

 

[Strong Badam]

What's wrong with it?

1. Doesn't wash rice before cooking it.
2. Uses too much water for that type of rice
3. Doesn't cook rice long enough
4. Washes rice AFTER cooking it? Why? Cooked rice supposed to absorb liquids in the form of sauces, not MORE water which it just absorbed while cooking

If it's true, that sounds great; I've been looking forward to Kamala Khan making her MCU debut. (here's hoping we get Jessica Drew or an adult super-powered Monica Rambeau as well)

If they are doing a Secret Invasion storyline, I'm assuming that Ben Mendelsohn's character isn't making it out of the movie alive. He (along with the Skrulls who were with him) would be one of the few/only Skrulls pushing for peace, or trying to convince them not to invade Earth, and I feel like he'd get killed because of that.

I don't wash the rice before cooking it. I don't think she was using that much water and depending on the heat she has it on the rice can cook faster. As for the forth I think she cooling it not really sure but I don't think she was using a common method.

So I think she did alright with it not everyone has to make fried rice the common way.

 

[Strong Badam]

In the video, the chef tells you to turn the heat down low for a simmer which is a very specific temperature for boiling water with a grain in it. You're supposed to simmer rice for ~15-18 minutes depending on the type.
It's not so much as "an uncommon way" as "an incorrect way that makes the food poorly/undercooked." If a chef told me to only cook chicken halfway, I'd be bothered by it too.

I'd highly recommend you wash your rice before cooking it next time. Not much else I can say to that point, it's like not washing vegetables before using them.

 

[Will]

I don't wash the rice before cooking it.

This man likes his food sticky.

Update number ???

I realized hiw disproportionate his sword side was to his shield side, so I erased and revamped the whole sword side to make it a much larger and proportionate. Also made his plumage on his chest larger as well.
