Please make a running animation where he gallops.

Thanks! He already kinda does gallop:



but that's mostly because his body doesn't turn when he walks. Maybe he knows he's 2-dimensional.

edit: looking at it, it's actually a bit goofy looking when he's not moving left/right lol

I finished Virginia. I liked it. The story is interesting once you piece it together but they don't make it easy and the last chapter throws a lot at you at once.

Great mood, good original soundtrack. Recommended once its on sale for <$5.

It has no real place in the game, but maybe you could put it on your title screen, have him gallop in off the side.

I was thinking this was a side scroller, is it 4-way or 8-way movement?

It is a side scroller, yes. I will find some way to fit the galloping in, somehow.

Oh, I misunderstood your comment about it looking funny when he's not moving left or right to mean that he moves other directions. You just meant when he's standing still.

It's gonna be sorta kinda funny when skylanders dies off and his kids grows out of it. The guy who runs that channel has 833 vids alone of just him doing skylanders stuff (idk how many vids his other non-skylanders accounts have) and idk how I'd feel if a good portion of my childhood was filmed and put online by my dad attempting to be really funny but just coming off as cringeworthy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EniJHgfHdQc

His kids are already growing out of it.

That's why they've been making new kids.

Can you imagine the therapy someone is going to go through when they talk to their therapist about how the only reason their parents had them was to get more money and views on the family YouTube channel? That you only came into existence for that primary reason.

On a similar tangent does anyone else remember how there was a kid like twelve years ago that all the gaming publications did stories about because he was super good at Halo 2? And the dad was always a part of those interviews going on about they've got a documentary in the works and all sorts of sponsorship deals lined up. But things didn't progress fast enough and when you're trying to make content based on the marketability of your child I guess there's an expiration date on when you can cash in it because nothing ever came of it as soon as the "Wow this baby is really good at video games." factor was no longer there.

I love that dude's videos and Boss Keys are my favorites so far. My girlfriend doesn't play too many video games but even she sometimes asks if there's a new Boss Keys to watch because that poo poo's fascinating. I like seeing his research process as it evolves, and his dungeon diagrams are really cool.

I was just listening to it at work and once he started getting to the dungeon graphs it was really interesting how he laid everything out.

Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


Battlefield 1 had a problem where after a round finished you only had a few seconds to quit after which the quit button disappeared and you had to wait for the new map to load and then you could only quit when the new match started.

So a big new patch just came out where :dice: "fixed" this and now the quit button doesn't disappear but when you press it...you still have to wait for the new match to start anyway. They basically added one of those elevator door buttons that do nothing but make you feel like you're doing something. So now BF1 has a new thread title :allears:.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

CJacobs posted:

Thanks. Cute-ish is what I'm going for with the general aesthetic. The player can't actually be unarmed at the moment but I might make an "unequip all my stuff" wardrobe in the home that leaves you unarmed until you re-equip something. A headbutt would work, maybe I'll make him do a little kick or something (since he has no arms).

It kind of looks like your dude has his arms crossed, which is pretty badass. Just galloping through a dungeons whacking skeletons with a psychically controlled sword.

I blame the growing popularity of Griffin McElroy for the spread of "x Boy". There's fruit to be borne from a supercut of him saying it over the podcasts and videos he does. Just 40 minutes of "Good Boy. Clean Boy. Nasty Boys. Danger Boys. Good, sweet boys. Cat boys."

And also, quitting doesn't seem to disconnect you from the server, because after I quit, if I leave the room while at the main menu, I come back to a popup that says I've been kicked from the server for being idle.

Polygon writer/video maker who is also one of the hosts of a couple of non-video game podcasts with his brothers (one of whom also writes for Polygon, Justin McElroy). The podcasts in question are My Brother, My Brother, and Me and Adventure Zone (D&D podcast).

Griffin's like the one good thing about Polygon imo but he does love to call things "boys" like his Pokemon in his ongoing Nuzlocke LP of Pokemon Y.
