good luck!

Don't forget that there's absolutely no data to support a calorie deficient diet as a suitable way of losing weight and keeping it off.

If you'd like to make progress, be sure to read "Good Calories Bad Calories" by gary taubes. I've lost 15 pounds this year without trying too hard.

It's a pretty common thread among transgender people that they'd rather be an ugly person of the correct gender than stay closeted. I feel like a lot of people who take the 10 and switch option would end up wanting to switch back pretty quick due to the psychological factors.

Idk what my choice would be, this is a pretty tough question.

Pretty much why I was wondering. As a cis person I feel I could do pretty well in both genders/sexes without it mattering too much to me, which is why I'm wondering if dysphoria is just a general discomfort in self more than it is gender.

not that these poll results point a figure in any particular direction.

bt DUBS

the poll options are genders in the first half of the question, and sex in the second half of the question

I guess that's confusing

So basically, being either cursed with extreme ugliness, frailty and an addled mind (what I would consider a 1), or...

Swapping genders

Seems like an easy choice to me

I mean, he was basically a whiny psychopath. Theres no way to make that into a good character. He was also used as an anti-twist. Everyone was so adamant about huey being a traitor, you expect some sort of complex motivation behind huey's actions.

But nope he's just a weiner psychopath. He was just a weiner all along and you wasted your brain power speculating his motivation.

Yeah but now we finally cleared up the plot hole of why Big Boss could be in Outer Heaven and talking to you over codec at the same time! And why he was still alive in Metal Gear 2!

Para-medic is an actual character with a relationship with Snake so that wouldn't work. Tapes only work in this game because 100% of characters are just walking exposition machines (except Quiet who THANK GOD cannot speak).

that's exactly what I'm saying! My favorite part of this game is exploring the world while hearing miller and code talker talk about burgers. There ARE cassettes that explore genuine relationships between people, but they're so rare. It would have been fine to have para-medic or sigint meet back up with snake (they worked with him in port-ops) and for kojima to just do what he does and rewrite a character or loop around a plotline to have them there. They could have cut a few of the 500 tapes where code talker talks about parasites.

I admit paramedic would be weird because she would be around to be like "uhh eli is def a clone of big boss so his DNA should match" but again, that issue can be dealt with with convoluted writing which is what the series is all about.

foolm0r0n posted...

To be fair I actually liked this part because it made me realize Quiet was the assassin at the beginning, which I didn't catch because I never watched any trailers or knew who Quiet was until I played the game. That was cool.

don't they go over her being the assassin in the "Quiet's Exit" mission right before?

I would like to just re address that "venom snake is actually snake's dentist" spoiler might be the worst twist I've ever come across. It sets itself up as a solvable mystery, so I was analyzing every clue I could find to see if I could figure it out before the reveal, even going so far as to translate code talker's navajo, replaying old games to see who could fit the profile.

and then it turns out the twist is just... it wasn't snake all along.

Just finished MGSV and I have a few notes

-I've always thought keifer sutherland was a bad actor, but this game is basically the smoking gun of hack acting. Dude doesn't understand inflection, and is incapable of reading his lines in any matter other than a dad reading a storytime book to his fifth kid that he doesn't really care about.

-I started playing this game after zelda, and I was very impressed by the way the horse in this game can take big leaps, and go over rough terrain. Then I learned big boss can't go up rocks with a slight slant and inclines above 45 degrees.

-Afganistan seems designed to waste your time, the way you can't get to point a to point b without planning a weird route through the plateaus

-The endgame spoiler? That Venom snake isn't naked snake? Why did they have to hit us over the head with it (to the point of reminding us before and after EVERY mission) Why did they spend the ENTIRE game being like "This isn't snake bt dubs, figure it out" to figure out it was really..... snake's nameless doctor? Why did I have to go through the prologue again???

-Quiet's speaking english was dumb as hell too? How many times have I requested a helicopter in a sandstorm? They land at the drop point and wait, that's the procedure! Oh whoops sorry I guess THIS time there were cobras and the pilot forgot protocol and no one thought to ask code talker to translate.

-The whole game seems to run on timers. Dispatch missions, development, it's all very slow and it adds nothing to the game. Even showing pictures to paz is a matter of show, fly off base, show, etc. It didn't need to be this slow.

-Basically all three main characters were interchangeable in character. It was hard keeping track of who was talking. Code talker and quiet were cool, and I wasn't really on board with making huey a lunatic who killed his wife for no reason (it basically was no reason, I listened to all the cassettes)

THAT said the gameplay was great when it was great. D-Dog is the best companion in gaming, decoys NEVER stopped being funny, and the scene where huey kills skull face is probably the hardest I've laughed this year.

I really liked the cassette tape story method as opposed to the codec system, it allows you to tune in as needed while you're doing other stuff. I recently replayed mgs3 and while I LOVE the characters in 3, the codecs just drag on way too long. Imagine Para-medic talking about 80s movies while you run across africa (huge missed opportunity) . I loved collecting music from missions.

It's too bad this is the last kojima metal gear game we will ever get, because I would totally play "teenage liquid and psycho mantis take on the world."

Overall: great game it's just a shame it has such a crusty buildup around the whole thing

Gmun has suggested "Bloat" instead of "Obese"

Hover- Allows user to avoid tile traps (and benefits)
Sticky- Any user who steps on a "sticky" tile looses a turn
Magnetize- Collect other players coins as you pass them
Obese- Roll three sided die
Immunity- Prevents any negative/monster effects
Salt- Prevents movement of play, also other players cannot pass a play who is "salt" on the board
CHIMP- Changes all user game pieces to monkeys

@MariaTaylor

OK so for the one game we're developing, it's essentially a mario party esque game about freeing monsters from cages. Rescuing monsters gives you affinity, the player with the most affinity at the end wins. Three basic boards are what we're starting out with, each with it's own theme and monsters. The ideas for these are basically purgatory, paradise, and inferno

Nothing here is set in stone, and GMUN might have some notes since this is his first time seeing it, but this is a good jumping off point.

Two non-game monsters

Moldy-Given upon joining the site for free. I'm envisioning him as a piece of toast with a runny nose.
(Game Effect: Makes all tiles sticky for two turns)

Gemicle- Bought with actual cash. Gem with a monocle?
(Game effect: Double's coin about after game is completed [doesn't effect actual game score, just reward balance)

Purgatory Theme

Schwak- Releases chicken on the board that lays eggs that cause the sticky status. I'm thinking of a chicken looking thing with a schwa type head feather

??- Steals Coins from one player and randomly gives them to another. Has a 1/20 chance of stealing affinity

??-Changes every sound effect on the board to "moo" (all players)

??-Shuffles player position randomly between 5 and -5 spaces

??-Fast travel to free monster

??-1/5 chance of gaining affinity, otherwise inflicts "salt" for 1 turn

Paradise-

??-Grants "Hover" for two turns

??-Reveals Alternate routes on the board for all players

??- Gives the user "Magnetism"

??-Grants Immunity on user for 1 turn

??-Double dice roll

??- "Salt" random non-user player

Inferno-

??- Makes three impassible tiles on the board

??- Hides all tiles effects for all players

??- Knockout random monster (One other player will not be able to use their monster abilities for the game)

??- Turn all players "Obese" except the user

??- Allows the user to change the direction he moves on the board at any time.

??- Inflicts "Chimp" status on entire board.


Status effects explained in the next post

here's a basic corner of what the layout might look like. I'll have more soon but we really need to hammer out more details about site aspects before you and me branch off in different directions with ideas.

third and final one of this set



I put in the extra time and effort to try and make the art style of this one match the previous (first few) designs, and it definitely paid off I think. the thicker and fuller lines ultimately lead to a better product in the end. I may just have to bite the bullet and set aside the extra time that I know it's going to take.

CelesMyUserName posted...

as for the new pet hrmmmm, those arm placements really threw me off, I'll see about playing around with it when I affinity design it, the silhouette is like a dophin but then there's the plesio head coming outt

if you don't like any of them, that's fine. you don't have to feel obligated to put in the extra work to try and fix problems with the designs that aren't good. that's why I'm submitting them in batches so we can easily use what works and discard whatever doesn't.

plus if a design doesn't get used it's just something I can go back to again later and try to make work when I run out of fresh ideas.

by the way, this one is amazing. I'll load all my attributes into this topic so as to give you an idea of what we need.

"Active party" doesn't make a lot of sense. "Active" should just be one at a time, since all candillos are accessible through the pantry, there's no limit to them like neopets and the games are meant to just work with one.
---

werd

mac version yet?
---

werd

The top boarder should be a darker background, like a navy, while keeping the main bulk of the page can stay white. Candillos logo should be centered, with a user hub on the left hand side when logged in. Non logged in users should have a very simplified login page/register page they are redirected to, so that mobile sign in is simple (there shouldn't be much to do on our site without an account) but the sign out button makes sense in that right hand corner.

Home should be written out instead of symboled, to fit with the rest of the tabs, and the tabs should be color coded like a filing cabinet (to fit with the kitchen theme, like a cookbook) background of the bulk of the page can have a faded line print, again, like the inside of a cookbook/notebook.

I would keep the pets off the title bar for now, and while we're addressing that, your dillo's snout or ears should be reduced a bit because as it is it is a bit too similar to a bloomaroo.

Again, sorry about taking so long. It's hard to get the design drawn out, but I have been working on it all week.

We still need to talk about pet organization before I can finalize anything, but in due time.

Personally, I would also avoid the drop down menus with most of the tabs, but thats just personal preference
