When I get creative and hunker down to start sprite animating, and I focus (pretty much) only on animating it while listening to my favorite tunes...hours can fly by and all my worries and fears melt away...just me, my mouse, keyboard, headset, and the screen...that's when the magic happens :] the ideas become larger than the sum of their individual parts...the sprites, sounds, music, and fight actions and scenery all combine with the camera movement to form sprite animations in the way I know how to make them best :]

What engine and platforms do you develop for? RPG? Or action games? I want to try and make a basic turn based RPG or platformer before I die!

On topic, love is best and games

So back in them days, I used to make interactive ish Flash sprite animations with things like replay buttons, scene selects, etc. but now that Flash is "dead" (there are preservation efforts like Ruffle and FlashPoint archive out there :3) my production methods shifted over to converting the SWF into video for uploading to Youtube and to make it watchable on mobile devices, smart TVs the main tools I use are Adobe Animate CC 2023 for animation, Photopea for image editing, Audacity for sound edits, Fireworks for working with huge spritesheets, and more :]

Comfort after grief when you just know that there is something there.

Like ProgenitorCastle above, when you can hit a flow state, when your thinking brain shuts off and you become pure decision, action, and drive.

I get this when exercising, writing music 10 people in the world might ever hear, sometimes at work, and, when it's really good, a video game.

It's nice to shut up that chatterbox in your head that only comes up with problems instead being engaged in the moment.

[John Marston]

pussy

Which kind, the one that purrs or the one that bites?

 

[Tams]

Which kind, the one that purrs or the one that bites?

Clam down Tiger King.

 

[Insane Metal]

Eating pussy. Hmmm.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Sex with the one you love.

I have to ask, why are there so many Travis gifs on this site?

 

[kikkis]

I just like being healthy. Not being healthy would suck the enjoyment out of everything out i do.

 

[ahtlas7]

Travel & exploration with local food, drink, dance, etc. made all the better with family and friends. I'd die without it.

I find existential peace through my religion sometimes and it trumps any issue I'm currently having. Also my wife is great too. Also making video games feels really good.

 

[FunkMiller]

Love, sex, travel, coffee.

In that order.

Wife, kids , Family & friends a good nights sleep. A glass of cold water on a hot day.

Love and support.

The complete unconditional love I get from my Dogs.

I often stop myself and think Life is really good. Just realising what I have and appreciating what I have. It ain't about money

I'm trying my best to live stoically but it's hard sometimes.

[Peggies]

Oi! Whats the Preiselbeer shit doing there?

 

[Hudo]

To slay some heathens and go to bed knowing that you did good that day. A simple, black-and-white world view gives you peace.

It belongs to a real Wiener Schnitzel, you unzivilisierter Schmock.

I need that in some cursive text on my kitchen wall or something.

I like this quote, thank you.

Who the fuck eats a schnitzel with a slice of lemon.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I like this quote, thank you.

I found it as a death screen in No Mans Sky. They have like 20 interesting quotes they recycle upon death in that game.

Next time you're inspired by something, share it with us.

I remember the update to that being "To meme my enemies, see them drivin to their safespaces, and to hear the lamentations of the nonbinary otherkin."

On and off have I searched... but alas never found a name.

 

[Esca]

Kids. You don't realize it till you have them

 

[Peggies]

Who the fuck eats a schnitzel with a slice of lemon.

Of course you need lemon for your schnitzel.

 

[John Marston]

I love that Terry Fox picture Men_in_Boxes

Now that I'm older it sounds boring but it's all about health, eating & sleeping good.
All things I neglected & destroyed in my youth

 

[Days like these...]

 

[Peggies]

I'm actually vegetarian but I know that no one eats Preiselbeeren to their Schnitzel. Except tourists and Germans. Are you eiher one of them?

(But let's not argue, my "Pics that make you laugh"friend )

 

[Plies]

Who the fuck eats a schnitzel with a slice of lemon.

People with good taste.

 

[The Cockatrice]

People with good taste.

 

[Plies]

The acidity of the lemon helps to cut the richness of the fried cutlet. It also brightens up the flavor a bit.

Don't blame me, man, it's science.

Grape - Nuts : You won't find a healthier cereal in your grocing establishment. You also won't eat more than one bowl each morning because it doesn't taste that good (slightly better than oatmeal imo). Add cinnamon, and let it soak in milk for 60 seconds because you will crack a tooth.

Atomic Habits : The one "recommend to everyone" book I have in my library. Should be mandatory reading in public high schools throughout the land, imo. I've read/listened to it 3x, and it won't be the last.

Man in the Arena excerpt : Self explanitory. What an awesome speech.
