After years of being told I'm in the wrong line of work I've decided to take a shot at what I was born to do: writing.

I'm going to write and publish a LN before the end of this year. I just wanted to tell someone so I stick to this goal. I don't imagine it'll be that great but I've taken a look at other books and LNs people are publishing and they aren't that great either.

Will my friends here read the first draft when I'm done?

I am aware. I read the rules on how they want fanworks to be and don't have much intention on selling it. If it turns out to be something substantial in the end and is something people would buy I'll go through proper channels like the anon who made Udongein X and Artificial Dream in Arcadia.

Thread getting bumped is kind of depressing. Since other stuff took so much of my time this year that I haven't gotten anything down yet. I have managed to flesh out the story some more. I have a BIG BAD, I have an MC, I have most of the world fleshed out. I just haven't figured out how I'm going to get from the initial introduction of the first MC to the second real MC.

I'm going to set-up a dedicated emacs machine for writing so I'm not so sidetracked with software projects and try to focus more on this after the holidays. Since every time I got started on this over the last months I'd get side tracked working on my various software projects or video projects. Video stuff ate up A LOT of my time over the summer. Far more than I expected since I ended up working on three shows I never planned to. It got so busy I didn't even finish the one video project I planned on doing this year on time.

It's a shame that VP is far from what VH was going to be. I like it and all, but it's just rape. No real allowable customization in the way you play. Maybe with the money made in sales of VP someone will be interested in taking up the mantle of finishing VH, who's actually competent enough to do it.

what OP/EDs do you like? I was thinking about the popularity of LycoReco when it came out and how nice it'd be to see more anime inspired by gunslinger girl since that was one hell of a boson anime. the OP for it being one of my favorites and having that early 2000s english indie song for its op. also do you remember that in the same season lycoreco aired there was another original anime "engage kiss" that failed miserably and was just a soulless gacha cashgrab checking boxes to try and hook a playerbase, lycoreco had no tie-in and was the biggest anime besides bocchi so goes to show how far creating something good takes you compared to trying to cash out on the trendy market researched ideal money printer

A decade ago, I was visiting this shady site selling self-defense lessons and when I moved to close the tab, a voice loudly yelled WAIT!

 No.135706

We don't really have haggle culture in my country. People who attempt haggle are just seen as a nuisance and may even be ignored in online second hand trades.
Haggle culture is inefficient for everybody involved. It is better if people try to offer reasonable prices and leave it at that so the buyer and seller does not have to constantly waste time in their life trying to get a better deal. I can't imagine having to haggle all day every day like they do in some of the poorest countries because it's just expected.
I walk into a store and if I don't like the price I leave and find another store. This makes haggling unecessary.

It's fine for large purchases like cars and houses though, it makes more sense to argue for a while when we're talking thousands or hundreds of thousands, but not for cheap items.

 No.135707

I love haggle culture online. Whenever I use ebay I try to find listing that have the "make an offer" to see if I can drop the price. Usually 60-80% of the original list price is achievable. In public is a different matter though. I couldn't imagine haggling at an electronics store or a furniture store or something.

I'm way too scared of offending other people to try to haggle. I'd much rather not buy it at all.

Just found out about the 2015 janny chat log IRC leaks.
Have you guys already discussed this? Just Google "4chan janitor IRC logs" and look through them. Basically, a janitor went rogue around 2015 and leaked years' worth of IRC logs. They are absolutely hilarious, especially the absolute meltdowns moot and the /jp/ janitors had because of the the various shitposting factions that waged war with them around 2011-2015.

There's a janitor who confesses to taking meth to stay up all night so he can delete more posts (WhatWinterLeft / Saegrimr / Cat looks like janny), a janitor who confesses to molesting his nephew (Kazisho), and more. Also, AoC (previously known as "meido") talks about how he shat himself multiple times in school and received the school nickname of "dooky"

Also, BOOF was /k/'s janitor
VCR_Working and fsdfdsf were also obsessed with /jp/
Janitors from other boards constantly mocked the /jp/ janitors for managing the worst board, and moot publicly humiliated and ultimately expelled some of the /jp/ janitors from that channel

What are your favorite controller designs? Are there any old, system-specific controllers that you prefer to use over modern ones? Or do you like being able to use the same controller for everything now?

I generally enjoy the better ergonomics of the modern ones, but I always feel weird playing N64 games with new controllers because using the right analog stick for the c buttons feels weird, especially for games like Paper Mario where they're used for menus instead of camera controls.

 No.135616

>>135610
For Paper Mario specifically, I suggest a remapping like this for a PlayStation DualShock-like controller:
B: Square (left face button)
A: Cross (bottom face button)
C-Down: Circle (right face button) (for partner field actions), Dpad-Down
C-Up: Triangle (top face button) (for HUD toggle), R1 (for Thousand-Year Door-like HUD toggle), Dpad-Up
C-Left: Dpad-Left (items menu)
C-Right: Dpad-Right (party member menu)
R: R2
Z: L2
Stick: Left Stick
Start: Start
L: L1 (probably unused)
Dpad: none, or maybe Right Stick (probably unused)
For N64 games that do use the C buttons for camera controls, it's inevitably going to feel at least a little weird on most normal controllers no matter what button mapping you use.

 No.135617

>>135616
I guess the D-pad would work there. I can't think of any N64 games that use both the D-pad and the analog stick, so as long as you're doing per-game mapping you don't actually need to have both mapped at the same time (same with Z and L). It's still the wrong hand and I feel like that'd create issues with stuff like Banjo that uses the buttons for both camera and special actions via button combos, though.

 No.135618

Weirdly, I think the Xbox UFO controller might be the best substitute since it also has six face buttons thanks to the weirdass black and white buttons that disappeared with the 360. Probably easier to find ripoff N64 controllers than OG Xbox controllers these days, though.

>N64 games that use both the D-pad and the analog stick
Pokemon Stadium (Pokemon Stadium 2 in JP) uses all three ways to hold the controller if you include the minigames, so if you want only one remapping for the entire game you probably want to map the control stick to both analog sticks, and two of the C buttons are going to have to be mapped to weird leftover buttons like R1/R2, Select, L3, or R3.
Tsumi to Batsu (Sin and Punishment) lets you aim the gun with either your right thumb or your left thumb while you use the D-pad or the C buttons to move around.
>Banjo
Banjo has been brought over to newer consoles, so you could try loosely basing your remapping on the newer control schemes made for those.

For 2d, nip Saturn controller.
For 3d, I mostly use a ds4 out of habbit but I have a ds3 and 360 controller.

Dishonorable mention to the Dreamcast. Worst controller ever even xbox fat in my tiny hands was less annoying since at least its analog worked.

Do you constantly work on your passions in some way? I think that working towards a goal always is a good mindset even when you're busy with other stuff in life, since it'll always help you come closer to achieving something similar to a "life-goal". My life's goal is making the perfect metroidvania game, but that's put on the backburner for me while I learn JP to go to Japan and also play every metroidvania to analyze why I love them so much and hopefully encapsulate that into a vision.

Though at some point I definitely need to learn some programming to get it done, and I need something that motivates me to learn a programming language over anything else... I think my problem right now is that I have no clear goals whenever I start up programming that I can work towards and so I get lost and drift towards things I know I can make progress in, like JP and analysis.

i guess the main thing I could say after consuming upwards of 100 games is to lean into free assets. AI requires a ton of approval if you announce you use it so free music, free BG and so on are very handy. In a lot of games I see people turn the stock RPGMaker character assets into their own drawn interpretations. People aren't looking for much, just something like a new fresh story and or gameplay to build scenarios that fit within their niches
