  1. For the first question, I think it is not terribly different than parents pressuring the kids to be cis. It's bullhonkey and needs to stop. However, it's a little worse for two reasons. One is that it is much easier to be cis than trans, and so the parents are setting their child up for a harder life for their own purposes. Secondly, it reflects pretty negatively on existing LGBT (mainly the T) culture and supporters. So they actually end up hurting a lot of people doing that. In general, the earlier an individual starts treatment, the better the physical transition goes for them. And, since in the current social climate passing can be the difference between life and death (to say nothing of isolation/dysphoria/depression that would result from not doing so), I would rather err on the side of too soon rather than too late. In a question like this I assume the major risk presented is "what if theyre wrong," or "what if they change their mind". But, whether a person is approved for medical treatment to transition depends on their professional diagnosis, so it's left to the psychologist to determine what and when is best for an individual. This question supposes a minimum age limit to protect against the 'what-ifs', but if that ends up denying treatment to individuals who otherwise would benefit from getting it sooner, then I think such a restriction would actually be unhelpful.
  2. Attention, all guys with yandere girlfriends: Drink anything they give you. They know what's best for you, so trust them and everything will be okay. <3

      Remember children, nourish your Yanderes and they'll be strong loving (and killing) machines

      Don't poke Yanderes with a ten-foot pole, unless they like you. And regardless, use your hand rather than a pole, since I don't think anyone like being jabbed with a piece of metal.

      Oh, just whether to drink stuff? As long as it's non-alcoholic, sure. OR if you're past that age, I guess even if it is. Unless its Kool-Aid.

  3. History has a habit of letting little girls wander past the forest's edge, only to be swallowed up by any number of enchantments beyond. She awakens in a tower. A dragon guards her, its fangs bared to the world, Brimstone breath faithfully reserved for whatever metal-clad ignoramus thinks himself so mighty that even fire may not char his miserable flesh. Rev up those fantasy cores. It's the Fairy Tale Field. By the way, I did add a teaser at the end of the previous field reveal but some of the discussion around that led me to realize I had been a little unclear in the matter, so I'd like to clarify. I did say that we would be saying goodbye to a certain character. But if I were going to be a little more precise, I should say... It's not just one.
  4. You raise good points and I agree with many of them. Although I don't wish at this point to go back and change all of that, it would have been nice for the swamp to see more use. However, it mainly exists because it's based off of a canon thing. I think it is okay that some fields are rare, some are player-only, some are environment-only, some are boss-only. To me, this feels like a natural variety. That app you're referencing is in E16. I hope it helps some of these concerns. I don't know about "unique" but there are an increasing number of things that the player can create and play with, especially with Amplifield Rock in the mix now. didnt end up getting to mapping as quickly as i wanted cuz there was more than i thought. but, totally done with otherdungeon now. now i can focus. i also totally forgot to post the thing, but like, whatever. fine....
  5. as far as the second one, that's pretty fun, but please dont put me in charge of anything that involves safety or security. i'll get bored and bad things will happen. entertaining things! but probably objectively bad. about the first one, that was actually not a dream and im still waiting for her to get back to me on that, so i would actually super appreciate it if she could hurry up.
  6. Make me. -- so remember when i said this yeah so actually it turns out im somewhat okay at this kind of thing. i figured out a good way to do it and tore through the whole thing today. also did some graphicky stuff for story, my hope is to finish mapping the area tomomo along with final eventing for the last sidequest dungeon and then i'll be in super good shape, can more or less just charge through story events the rest of the week. we hit 90 so i can post the next field... second to last field, yikes. but yeah ill post it when i feel like it... if you all deserve it.

  8. ahaha, i hope my posts aren't that rambling or negative. I don't want to give the wrong impression. There are parts that are annoying, but this is still something I really enjoy doing it. I was going to post then, but the truth was, I didn't really have much to say. It's a weekend, so I have work and such, not as much time to push the other stuff forward. And I don't want to spoil too much of the story, you know? But I'll have at least one screen later. Even though the wasteland isn't being redone, it will be addressed. There's also a little more to find out about Bigglesworthless too.
  9. although i would love to answer this as it is an interesting question, as i mentioned to you on skype, i... barely remember anything like that... i can remember like a couple things for half of those people, but i doubt it's the funniest in any case, and for the rest of them its like... a big, empty... void. much like my hippocampus as a whole seems to be. I'm pretty happy where I am. The adventurous side of me would totally be in to it, but I know I'd just be disappointed. I think I'd rather save those sorts of experiences for video games, where interesting things are guaranteed to happen and I don't have to deal with insects outside of a battle system. not at home, I don't think so. unless my computer counts... possibly the stove? idk. pls they're.. neat? but I don't use them much cuz I use cloud sncing i prefer a cell phone. nobody needs watches anymore. but if some does insist on having a watch, it should be analog because digital watches are 0% fashion Actually! My mom got one of those. For some reason.and it broke after like three weeks lol. i prefer a cell phone. nobody needs landlines anymore. But I guess I'd put it across the hall from me that way I don't have to deal with it, but I could use the phone line if necessary. I mean we have fiber internet now but... the only phone line used to be in our basement. So it was inconvenient. My door is like, diagonal? so.. away. there's a lot of away directions. probably idr I didn't know it didn't... so how does it charge ?? do you have to buy it separately? that's lame if so. I still use a black and white wolfie blanket that we've had for I think approximately ever. they can be entertaining.. but they're not a passion? memory.. uhm... possibly... <insert SDR2 word-finding sequence here> oh! wait! the last time I watched a movie, I don't do that very often, was back in June when I was out of town with some online friends. We watched a number of things... I don't remember in what order though. I think the last one we saw was either Song of the Sea, MLP Equestia Girls: Rainbow Rocks or Sneakers. I don't know if it properly counts, but I got a Legend of Korra art book earlier this month and I've been reading through it, studying the design notes and such to learn from it. But if that doesn't count, then I've been reading Running With Scissors lately. DR3 just finished last night! If we dont' count anime then Steven Universe. I watched one episode of that one time but I think I fell asleep during it ;;; never got back around to it. idk probably ...yeah. in fact I did that to my coworker last night. got her good. ^~^ they need to quit. they are uncomfortable and unfashionable and made of 30% cotton and 70% why. I don't like or dislike them. But they make silly noises. And it's really funny to watch them fight. I own multiple! I collect them-- though I don't really go out of my way to buy them or anything unless it's part of something else (I have an amethyst pendant, a couple amethyst bracelets, and I'm always wearing amethyst earrings). Also, I was given a large amethyst when I was born... for potentially obvious reasons. I still have it above my bed. Not really. When I was younger I might have, but I'm now pretty unenthused by cards after too many family gatherings. It is a custom skin created for any site to use. I picked it because of the sidebar. I've always been a fan of sidebar layouts. Yes. Most are pretty old, but... I have posters of: Nightwish, Ahri, Miho from Megatokyo, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Rozen Maiden. It's okay. I don't love it. I don't mind it. the pepper shaker. it'll last the longest. The character is Ryouko Otonashi from Dangan Ronpa 0. As for the picture itself, idk. I'm pretty sure I just clipped it from a random youtube video. Chibitania is impressive. But the original would totally win in a fight.
  10. the ending has a lot of unresolved stuff and the series still has so many problems but did that stop me from crying through the entire episode and so much afterwards that i threw up from crying too much no it did not mikan... i s a lll that matters.
  11. Yeah, turns out it was a pre-existing error that just happened to pre-exist in a way that would never have been detected in past releases. It's all sorted now though. Awkward tho Event moves-- probably not worth considering before 7th gen. After that, if they're also an event Pokemon in-game, then it's possible. there is no dratini i really dont know where this is coming from q~q no he's The Cellist, not Sirius. Goodness, so off beat... ah, but that teaser was certainly valid. Some changes here and there but nothing major. I don't think it's worth replaying for in itself, but if you want to replay it'll be a pleasant surprise. uh what no save me there aren't 50 sidequests i would be dead rn a chunk of the sidequest bar was 2%-counted ones, but most of it was full sidequest dungeons -- hi it me a day later than i thought because time is a social construct and rules are just made up continuing to work on the last side dungeon is slow. im in micropuzzle hell and after spending many time mapping what should have been a very simple puzzle but definitely was not, it out it occurred to me that i dont actually know how to code it in a way that won't make my eyes melt out of my face so i might just need to go all melty-eyed for a while but we'll see. that could potentially take some time though... and the debugging... yippie-kai-yikes. on the plus side for you all, i'm now out of bad TMs to give away. oh dear... my poor planning cost me a couple hours tonight when i had to scan through all of the existing maps looking for a certain set of like 40 new items (not related to the previous set of 40 items i mentioned adding before) that i put throughout the game a while ago aaaaand... forgot where i put them. i found most of them. but im still missing a few. so like someone make a guide for those or something ;;;; I'll appreciate it. but I found enough to suit my purposes for now anyway so it's all gucci other bad development ideas: not having a full understanding of how an engine mechanic (fly) works but just casually assuming/hoping for four years in planning that it works the way you want it to fortunately, and to my great surprise, it works exactly the way i wanted it to. i was worried that the player would only be able to fly back to opal ward after the city's rebuilt (until they re-explored it) but almost everything is set without a hitch. so that's nice for once. i think it'll be super cool that you can choose where you fly into or want to re-explore first. so, where's your first destination going to be?
  12. wolf and shocking developments
  13. multiple. front section to pretend im paying attention in any given class, and then all the other sections are just for sketching down ideas in various games a lot more than i used to be, but many people would probably still find my form of organization chaotic finally... meaning you haven't seen that before? or just again? appreciating the litle thiings is good i suppose.. uh tube, i dont think organic toothpaste comes in travel sizes redneck temp solutions are like 70% of this household tbh pens to write. they feel slick. mechanical pencils for drawing. i refuse to use wooden pencils ever. i hate them. i have since i was a kid. i just feel like i can barely even hold them, it's so awkward uggh. i take notes in random .txt files, and on my phone religiously. i think best in those spaces, and i type (computer or phone) much faster than i handwrite. ..plus i cant even read my handwriting half the time ;;;; twisty ties are way more useful. closed... mostly cuz of bugkind :c no one wishes on 12:34 i was raised in the 1-12 format but i mostly use military time now for the sole purpose of getting myself used to it best day north the abyss sounds fun. not in particular. maybe mt.fuji? but that's not so much for mt.fuji's sake as it is i just wanna go to japan >> i usually weigh stuff out if i'm indecisive, or just wait a few days to see if i feel the same way not really tbh. only had it once or twice, don't recall loving it. ocean. i've grown up around mountains. tired of 'em. but i love beaches. of course i'd talk to them. it would be rude to ignore them. also, it's not every day one gets to chat with a talking swarm of bats. it's an impressive talent you have
  14. certified woofbark vs floating scrap of paper
  15. meanwhile... Despair-11 shouldn't have happened until after DR0 so.... ????????????????????? what gives no despair!chiaki either. darn. that would've been fun.
  16. I... think it's more likely that you're confusing it with a different game or something, than that that was from a glitch. Unless I am seriously bonkers-- which is possible-- Magikarp has never been fishable in Reborn. AZ more like EZ Reborn (3rd gen) sprites are a lot smaller/less detailed than the kinds of sprites I have the most experience working with. It ain' even a factor. -- boom. done. The remaining 19% in sidequests is due to that dungeon, which we'll still be working on. But what I need to do for that, I can do among other things. As usual, I work this weekend. But then on Sunday I can finally start working on the main story stuff for the first time in almost a year and a half jesus what EDIT: You know, I made notes for myself of things to mention here, and then I forgot to look at my notes. Today I also added egg moves to Pokemon received in trades. not really sure why that wasn't a thing before tbh Also noticed the hatch level is still 5 from generation bloody III so we'll be sure to fix that. Also threw in another Mega Stone today, but it won't be accessible until later.
  17. I have no real conception of how much money players have at the current point of the game. Could a few people with post-15 save files check and tell me what their gold total is please?

      $172996. I had more than 200k mainly because I had a hard time with the seels and kept battling that clown at the circus just to level up. BTW, the trainers in the opal ward center and that clown are very much appreciated for leveling, but if you don't want to break the game economy I think they should not give so much money: maybe a more shitty reward like a berry would fit better in my opinion because you earn a lot of experience, and that should be enough reward...

      I never grind, bar having to get a Rattata for Sucker Punch Houndoom. And since I never use/buy items, I am sitting on a nice ~300k on both files for normal Reborn.

      (Shameless lateposting)

  18. Your guess is surprisingly good-- but even what you describe is something I'd consider a larger sidequest. At least for my highly subjective purposes. The smaller ones are self-contained, single-event sort of deals. Running around entails a bit more. were those maps already separated in 15? I can't remember, it's been too long. >~< maybe. but don't hold your breath. --- anyway, don't put too much stock on the word "large" because I finished that in a day. and it might be the most satisfying thing I've ever done. in a very silly way. i'm having too much fun with this. someone take this project away from me. or maybe that just means i've learned how to make sidequests enjoyable to develop... let's go with that. Other mapping I did today: It's a relatively simple map compared to past demonstrations, but there were a couple things I felt were worth mentioning for people learning to work with this stuff. I realized today that, of our roughly 615 maps (and counting!), more than 100 of them have been added just in E16. That's like, 1/6th of the entire project-so-far's map development in one episode cycle. I'm not really sure what's up with that. It's weird. I've also added like, almost 50 new items... and most of them are key items. send help ;;;;;;; oh, and i've got about 80 families of pokemon with expanded availability (does not mean they were completely unavailable before) ready to go too... and i'm not even done with that yet. so anyway... im going to try and KO all of the 'small' sidequests tomorrow. i'd say "wish me good luck," but... luck is just an illusory essentialization of statistics that is neither inherently good nor bad. so i'll do my best.

  20. Yes. Or at least those that are finished by that time. it's not bugsy. I am going to reassess the way that this devblog is handled for E17+ so we might see something like that then. If someone wants to collect the ones previewed in the interim and make a topic for them, I could move it in here. ...but that's a lot of pages lol....... -- Yes, the story went up. I took a small bite out of it the other day so I could do something else. I'm not actually on the story for real yet. I am done with the previous thing though. I have one more large (in terms of development) sidequest to do. This one is for a starter Pokemon. After that, only the easy-to-make sidequests are left. I hope to speed through those in a day or two. And then.........
  21. I was going to put up a poll for the other things I was considering.. but yeah, I kinda have the feeling KH2 would dominate regardless ;; no promises though. i also barely remember what happened in KH1 by now tbh... I never have and never will. Just d-don't disappear again this time.. b-bakas... absolutely not. can't blame you for not going through it all-- although there is a search feature for this specific topic.anyway, no, i have never played a layton game. I don't really have a reason not to... I just haven't had a reason to do so.
  22. western-style noses are evil and must be destroyed.
  23. jesus k christ 10 pages of responses settle the down y'all ...or don't. that's fine too. I'll think about it. Just kidding, it's already decided. This is actually the opposite of what was the case in the online league; flying stall was one of the strongest teams because although it had many weaknesses, it had strong ways to cover those weaknesses. However, in-game AI doesn't.. know how to stall so lol. I don't think any amount of AI work I can do will make up the necessary predictions. Also of note, stall was not the strongest flying team concept we saw in the league. Naturally, I had to save the other one for later... I am concerned about Heracross and Pinsir, but we'll see. I'm taking small comfort in the fact that it takes a very lucky person, or a lot of soft resets to get their megas, so I'm hoping they don't completely stamp out other options. Of course, I'll do what's necessary when it comes to. Right, it's the over-leveled issue. It isn't insurmountable. Just awkward. Also, not just level-cap, but it would drop some "difficulty" for previously-existing save files, since the player's levels at end-game might end up higher than the opponents'. What, his earring wasn't enough for you? that's a paddlin' I wouldn't go that far... friendship ended with mysidia now orre is my best friend I don't know where this is coming from. Unless my memory loss is more severe than usual, I'm pretty sure I haven't touched those.
