I've never had success with randoms because all it takes is one person to really dampen the game, and the odds of that happening are just too high.

Which is a shame because I've ran into good players who just can't find a group to click with.

Maybe they meant the installable mod manager, Vortex.

The unfortunate truth is there are likely a lot of very talented developers at most big studios who ultimately don't have a say on what goes into the game.

Many don't turn around and try making a start-up game though, most just burn out of the industry forever.

Oof, but yeah.

In my mind, having "something" to show is better than nothing, even if that something is mediocre.

I know first hand that JRPGs are a hefty projects to make, but I'm a little surprised they opted for shutting it all down and not going for Early Access to continue funding, especially as the idea seemed popular.

I can only guess that means the game is still in a pretty bad state.

I think you've had too many pancakes.

Online PvP has always been toxic, but modern game communities have definitely cultivated a special kind of toxic.

Most people I know meet up for coffee.

I don't think its uncommon to have a beer at a restaurant or as a drink or dinner. Meeting up at a bar for drinks as a first date feels funky, at least in my region.

If that's not your jam then probably don't push into it. A date should be a comfy experience for everyone involved, if possible.

Up until recently ish, for 3D art I would export UV maps, do my editing, then reimport them to view the changes on my model.

I did this up until it got brought up in a meeting, and a senior guy from a publisher basically called me out saying "Why in the world do you still do that? We moved on from that like 15 years ago!"

So I quietly had to reevaluate my process and learn something new.

In my defense I am not an artist, and despise giving Adobe money.

We say to 'nuke it'.

So it'll be like oh I got to nuke this pizza for a minute.

If I had to guess, I'd assume there was bricks once surrounding the cinderblock nightmare. You wouldn't want a hollow brick pillar so I could see someone just shoving a cinderblock pieces in the middle as they worked their way up, never really expecting it to be seen on its own.

That isn't the right way to make a pillar like this, but I'm sure this was a string of mistakes and at the end it was some poor bricklayer who had to figure it out with what he had on hand.

I have now discovered that one of the users (who posts a lot) was banned instance-wide on Midwest.social, hence the differences.

Not a bug at all, sorry!
