  • Istanbul was Constantinople now it’s Istanbul not Constantinople​ been a long time gone, Constantinople and a Turkish delight on a moonlit night. Every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul not Constantinople​ so if you have a date in Constantinople she’ll be waiting in Istanbul. Even old New York was once New Amsterdam, why they changed it i can’t say, people just liked it better that way… So take me back to Constantinople no you can’t go back to Constantinople cause it’s Istanbul not Constantinople been a long time gone, Constantinople why did Constantinople get the works? That’s nobody’s business but the Turks… Dodo do do do de do do do do aaaaaaa whaaaaa (I’m just going to stop here)

    Ok it’s from memory don’t sue me if I fucked it up.









  • Not watching because spoilers. I’m definitely going to play it. I’m worried it is not going to meet expectations but I have heard from people who have early access and they say it’s fine. I didn’t want them to elaborate.

    Keep in mind most game releases piss people off, especially in popular franchises. I mean, there are people who hated Skyrim and that’s unfathomable to me.

    So I take these reviews with a huge grain of salt right now. Ask me again on Saturday how it’s going.

    Gotta say I don’t like the art direction though. Blech. And I was a Solavellan so I’m already pissed off by what I gleaned from the preview trailer.

    I’m trying to remain optimistic but I feel those who are undecided should wait for reviews after the full release.

    Edit: it’s not going well. I’m hoping it gets better.


    • Creepy ambiance (maybe 2 vibes, one there’s eerie/builds tension and one that’s like gothic horror ambiance)
    • Swamp ambiance (similar to creepy but more of a nature swamp vibe)
    • Sea shanties/pirate ambiance
    • Traveling music (think bardcore road trip)
    • Fire and flames (like a forest fire maybe with music backing, works for Avernus, towns burning down, actual forest fire)
    • holy ambiance (sounds like I dunno…cleric-y? Like at a cleric’s holy site)
    • I don’t know what to title this but library/courthouse/university music ambiance. Like, something that would play in a big library, or when addressing the town council/magistrate/king, or when at a wizard university. Kind of serious and official sounding, does that make sense? -Bandit hideout music (also works for breaking into keeps, guard sheds or even like town guard breakrooms, really anywhere where the rough sorts hang out)
    • time limit/tense music for time dependent scenes (bomb going to explode, going to be discovered, outrunning a natural disaster, etc)
    • sneaking around music
    • Boss music different from regular battle music

    That’s all I can think of right now but I may edit with more suggestions. Where do you get your open license music and stuff?








  • A gamedev I know who has a currently running online MMO says:

    "Don’t overthink it. When I learned gamedev I learned how to display something on the screen, I learned how to move things on a screen, how to play sound effects and music, and then rolled it all together to make a simple pong game. If you can make that you can scale up from there. Buy an asset pack off of itch.io for whatever genre you want to make. "

    For context this guy made his engine from scratch.


  • Your friend refers to LGBTQIA as referring to “aspects of non-cisgendered life” and it makes me doubt their understanding of the community because there are plenty of cisgendered people within the community…less the obvious exceptions.

    Also autism symptoms can overlap and it would be extremely hard to find a label for your specific combinations of symptoms.

    LGBTQIA+ started as separate communities that came together. ASD is already one community, it didn’t start as disparate communities based on a single set of extremely varied symptoms.

    The closer answer is “Neurodivergent” encompassing ASD, ADHD, and others. ASD is accurate whereas neurodivergent is the umbrella term.
