I’m rereading PJO because the new series is coming out on Disney + and I wanted to refresh my memory and I was thinking about Percy earlier and how this kid has so much nerve, like the audacity this kid has, dueling a GOD, the god of war no less. And the way he can almost never keep his mouth shut. Always making silent remarks, making enemies out of being you do not want to make enemies out of. Like, wtf? Idk if this is bravery or stupidity? Probably a bit of both, and that got me thinking, you know who this loudmouth, sassy, sarcastic little shit reminds me of???
Guess.
Neil Fucking Josten.
Oh my gods.
Like.
I remember when I first read aftg, I thought, “huh this Neil kid reminds me of someone” and I could never figure out who, now I know, it’s PERCY JACKSON
They are the SAME character in a different font.
The sassiness? The sarcasm? The nerve? The impulsiveness? The recklessness? The bravery? The stupidity? The quick thinking? The inability to keep their mouth shut? The undying personal loyalty??? To the point it’s a fault????
Even the inner monologues are similar.
No wonder I’m so attached to both of them.
Anyway, just wanted to share my thoughts
Thank you, and goodnight

when at the library today i picked up a book abt typography to pick up some more theoretical skills there and to no one's surprise it pretended that european languages were the only languages in the world which like whatever i'll still learn what principles it has to teach and then try to reverse-engineer applications to cn font design based on what i know.
despite not trusting the english-language resources available online to be as in-depth or technical as i desire, i got curious and googled "chinese typographic design" anyway n scrolling through the introduction to the first result, you can kind of tell it's not written with a chinese-speaking audience in mind, or at the very least an audience with some semblance of chinese cultural sensitivities bc its section headed by the words "navigating the simplified and traditional divide" goes on to basically say it's an Aesthetic Decision which. well. is certainly a way to pretend you're avoiding politics.
#mostly you get the impression bc one of the first sections is like 'so how do chinese words work?'#and goes on to explain the idea of radicals and components n stuff and it's like If You Knew Literally Any Chinese#even as a foreigner starting to learn you'd understand the concept of semantic radicals#the worm speaks#phrasing that heading as 'navigating a divide' feels like it's alluding to An Awareness of the political implications n stuff#which most people in the west are not actually aware of!! so then to go on and be like#'oh yeah simplified is like swiftly efficient and ~modern~ while traditional holds fast to its cultural roots from a bygone era'#like. this is some stares straight into the camera type shit to me. like you really didn't have to call us bygone y'know.#like i'd have been fine if they were like 'simplified is what's used in the mainland china n is thus used much more frequently'#'whereas traditional is used in taiwan hk and with older communities' like that's Fine you did it you Navigated The Divide#but if you frame it in terms of an aesthetic choice based in how ~modern~ or ~bygone~ you want to feel#then you're going to end up with people who are merely curious abt cn typography bc it's a very foreign language to them#who take that at face value. good lord#AND ALSO they have separate encodings in unicode. like just saying. they are also encoded differently and that's an important thing#you do not know how many times i've downloaded allegedly traditional cn fonts only to discover they expect simplified input#in order to display the glyphs which Are still designed as traditional to be fair but anyway. it's a nuisance.

I just finished watching Bright Sun Films' review of the Disney cruise he went on and like... Idk I was never a Disney fan by any means, but when I went to Disneyworld as a teen I actually really enjoyed it because it was so immersive and magical-feeling. But that was pre-them-owning-Marvel and also Star Wars. Now whenever I see them try to tie Marvel IPs into their stuff it just feels SO jarring to me. Like it's so devoid of the fantasy-magic vibe that made Disney appealing imo, even to someone who wasn't a fan of the princess movies growing up. Idk just the colors and fonts and imagery of tech and big, modern cities just clashes so hard and is so off-putting to me whenever I get a taste of it.

i think it's interesting you can tell how people are like deep down by small things they do
#⋯ ꒰ა starry thoughts ໒꒱ *·˚#like. if they use fonts#like 'aesthetic' fonts! it says they like pretty stuff sure but also that they don't know or don't care that#it isn't accessible for people with reading devices and stuff like that :') bcs those will read out literal math shit#it's a small thing but shows how ignorant some people are and i can't blame them at all bcs for a long time i used to use#aesthetic fonts like that. but for a while now i haven't as well and aurhrubedhej#but yeah perfectly understandable if they don't know but if they do it still even with the knowledge. i would definitely rather not#interact with someone like that. :')#i love to read people and all and tbh i probably know more about some people than they think bcs . yeah#it also shows how scary the internet is. please stay safe.#i have easily found some people's twitter accounts and it is so easy. i just do it out of curiosity and i don't have any malicious intent#at all but someone out there could and god if you overshare there is so much to learn so for the love of god be careful#but yeah! really interesting all of this ... how humans work :'O#the way we all have our different stuff that makes up who we are and how they're shaped by our experiences but also our dna#and how each book or passage or whatever we read leaves a marks on us. everything does#and how our brains differ and neuroscience and neuropsychology is. i don't know much abt it yet but god it is so interesting#- i am a very philosophical person interested in psychology and other related topics ever since i was a little kid - ><#it's interesting bcs . i really was like this ever since i was a kid and i would love to read more into Whyz#bcs i would look at rhe news as the kid and bad news made me so SAD. i still remember vividly sitting on the couch#and where the tv was and my parents. there was a girl who got... yeah#and it really opened my eyes to how fucking shit the world is. i was not even 10 years old by that time i think#and i think about that moment a lot even now whenever i rmbr it bcs it was. really important#in how i'm now hugely concerned about those kinds of things and really want to make the world a better place#honestly it annoys me when others don't care about the world but at least i'm happy with who i am! ><#it's interesting tho fr how i was. probably 'meant' to be like this in a way#and other kids out there just don't give a fuck and... i wonder why. what's different about us. in how we were made and shaped and raised?#ff/x being one of my memorable games in my childhood really shaped me and my outlook of religion and helped me be more open about my views#on family. kh being a really memorable thing abt my childhood despite me never properly playing past the island#but i still remember how i would always pick up that game again and again and years later when i got kh/3 despite not having played any#other games properly. i knew that this was my childhood. and playing thru that game was so amazing despite me literally

This is rich coming from someone with adhd who's finished very little, but, gotta say, one of my longest pet peeves is advice thats like
"dont start with the really big thing you want to make! Start with little things to get better until you can do what you actually want to do!"
This seems like good advice but, as someone who has basically worked on like 1-3 ideas at a time Ever, and really should be the textbook example of why you dont do this, I dont think it really matters.
If you make something, and come back to it years later, and redo it, is the original unfinished? Is the redo and the original two separate things or a chronological view of the same thing?
I really don't think someone who redoes the same small piece of a big thing over and over 10 times necessarily is failing or not learning as much as someone who does 10 different small things completely. The only difference is probably a less varied learning, and that one person has 10 things to show off and the other has maybe 1 that doesnt stand on its own.
Does that matter? Its probably a better comparison of learning, but, does it really impact your learning itself?
Yes, tunnel vision isnt good, but i dont think this advice actually helps with that... its just as easy to do 10 slightly different things and not learn much. Or you could work on 10 wildly different parts of a bigger thing. The scope of the project does not necessarily correlate with potential learning.
It doesnt matter how big the thing you want to make is, what matters is that its the thing you Want To Make.
Like... you know what? You don't have to finish anything. Its not your job. Unless it is in which youre kinda beyond this... Theres no like. Exp gain bonus when you finish something. Nothing is ever finished, just stops being working on.
I think this advice... is very geared towards Making Products. Finishing and releasing things, schedules, limitations... Obviously these matter but it all kinda revolves around the idea that things finish, at all. That the end goal of creativity is eyes on your work, a distinct Thing that can be Shared.
I think theres a somewhat silly idea that people literally start to work on their big project and like. Lose their marbles when they cant instantly know how to do all of it. People definitely underestimate how much work has to go into things, but I dont think that people start learning something with the mindset they... dont need to learn things. I had no idea how to model my creatures when i started learning blender, I literally only wanted to do that, that doesnt mean i was 'starting with something small' when i clicked on a 'how blender works' tutorial, modelling tutorial or rigging tutorial. I knew those were building blocks to the thing i wanted to do. My first models were garbage but they were what I *wanted* to make.
I'm never going to finish my comic, I'm never going to model all my creatures, I'm never going to get all of my ideas out of my head and into a presentable form. This is okay. In fact, this is good! Being done sounds horrible. There is no goal, there is no limit. And stopping worrying about that has ironically made it so much easier to do stuff and start stuff, knowing I can just start over if I fuck up. Finished things, don't have as many mistakes, and mistakes are so, so important to have.

📚 A List Of Useful Websites When Making An RPG 📚
My timeloop RPG In Stars and Time is done! Which means I can clear all my ISAT gamedev related bookmarks. But I figured I would show them here, in case they can be useful to someone. These range from "useful to write a story/characters/world" to "these are SUPER rpgmaker focused and will help with the terrible math that comes with making a game".
This is what I used to make my RPG game, but it could be useful for writers, game devs of all genres, DMs, artists, what have you. YIPPEE
Writing (Names)
Behind The Name - Why don't you have this bookmarked already. Search for names and their meanings from all over the world!
Medieval Names Archive - Medieval names. Useful. For ME
City and Town Name Generator - Create "fake" names for cities, generated from datasets from any country you desire! I used those for the couple city names in ISAT. I say "fake" in quotes because some of them do end up being actual city names, especially for french generated ones. Don't forget to double check you're not 1. just taking a real city name or 2. using a word that's like, Very Bad, especially if you don't know the country you're taking inspiration from! Don't want to end up with Poopaville, USA
Writing (Words)
Onym - A website full of websites that are full of words. And by that I mean dictionaries, thesauruses, translators, glossaries, ways to mix up words, and way more. HIGHLY recommend checking this website out!!!
Moby Thesaurus - My thesaurus of choice!
Rhyme Zone - Find words that rhyme with others. Perfect for poets, lyricists, punmasters.
In Different Languages - Search for a word, have it translated in MANY different languages in one page.
ASSETS
In general, I will say: just look up what you want on itch.io. There are SO MANY assets for you to buy on itch.io. You want a font? You want a background? You want a sound effect? You want a plugin? A pixel base? An attack animation? A cool UI?!?!?! JUST GO ON ITCH.IO!!!!!!
Visual Assets (General)
Creative Market - Shop for all kinds of assets, from fonts to mockups to templates to brushes to WHATEVER YOU WANT
Velvetyne - Cool and weird fonts
Chevy Ray's Pixel Fonts - They're good fonts.
Contrast Checker - Stop making your text white when your background is lime green no one can read that shit babe!!!!!!
Visual Assets (Game Focused)
Interface In Game - Screenshots of UI (User Interfaces) from SO MANY GAMES. Shows you everything and you can just look at what every single menu in a game looks like. You can also sort them by game genre! GREAT reference!
Game UI Database - Same as above!
Sound Assets
Zapsplat, Freesound - There are many sound effect websites out there but those are the ones I saved. Royalty free!
Shapeforms - Paid packs for music and sounds and stuff.
Other
CloudConvert - Convert files into other files. MAKE THAT .AVI A .MOV
EZGifs - Make those gifs bigger. Smaller. Optimize them. Take a video and make it a gif. The Sky Is The Limit
Marketing
Press Kitty - Did not end up needing this- this will help with creating a press kit! Useful for ANY indie dev. Yes, even if you're making a tiny game, you should have a press kit. You never know!!!
presskit() - Same as above, but a different one.
Itch.io Page Image Guide and Templates - Make your project pages on itch.io look nice.
MOOMANiBE's IGF post - If you're making indie games, you might wanna try and submit your game to the Independent Game Festival at some point. Here are some tips on how, and why you should.
Game Design (General)
An insightful thread where game developers discuss hidden mechanics designed to make games feel more interesting - Title says it all. Check those comments too.
Game Design (RPGs)
Yanfly "Let's Make a Game" Comics - INCREDIBLY useful tips on how to make RPGs, going from dungeons to towns to enemy stats!!!!
Attack Patterns - A nice post on enemy attack patterns, and what attacks you should give your enemies to make them challenging (but not TOO challenging!) A very good starting point.
How To Balance An RPG - Twitter thread on how to balance player stats VS enemy stats.
Nobody Cares About It But It’s The Only Thing That Matters: Pacing And Level Design In JRPGs - a Good Post.
Game Design (Visual Novels)
Feniks Renpy Tutorials - They're good tutorials.
I played over 100 visual novels in one month and here’s my advice to devs. - General VN advice. Also highly recommend this whole blog for help on marketing your games.
I hope that was useful! If it was. Maybe. You'd like to buy me a coffee. Or maybe you could check out my comics and games. Or just my new critically acclaimed game In Stars and Time. If you want. Ok bye
