(Aaay I'm also sick, cold season blows) Who are some of your biggest art inspirations right now? And/or What shows/youtubers/whatever do you listen to while you draw?

I hope you get better soon!

That definitely changes a lot but here’s a couple people I really enjoy: 

I mostly watch shows/movies while I work, so that changes a lot. Right now I’m watching Once Upon a Time and Boy Meets World (rewatching for the 100th time lol) in between. 

There’s a few youtubers I like, like danandphilgames, goodmythicalmore, dollightful, game grumps, etc, but I watch those when there’s new vids, not just as a “when I’m working” kind of thing.

There are few video game genre names that are more misunderstood than “open world” and “RPG”.

Anyone that has unironically said “Well, when you really think about it most games are RPGs because you’re playing a role” deserves a flaming hot wedgie

So now that I have some free time, I figured I’d elaborate for people who even want an elaboration.

Video game RPGs are derived from tabletop RPGs: your DnDs, your Shadowruns, your Warhammers and so on. As a result, video game RPGs share these common mechanics with their tabletop parents:

  • Character Customization: This point sounds vague but that’s intentional because many video game RPGs handle “customization” very differently. Customization can be from something simple like setting the look, name and bio of your character to more complex morality/alignment and deciding choices in the story. Essentially the point is that every player who tries the game will likely have a different experience from other players, as they’ll all have different mindsets going into the game
  • Stats/Attributes: This point ties into the first but is still pretty important on its own. The player character and every other character need to have very clearly defined attributes that will factor in to the player’s desired playstyle. More importantly, the PC’s stats must be allowed to change and advance overtime
  • RNG: Video games don’t have dice, so it makes do with having the computer simulate the rolls. RNG can control multiple systems in the game but the idea is that no matter how many times you do X action, you will never have get a consistent Y outcome; it can be the same or it can be slightly different or it could be totally supremely different

So yeah this is my personal definition of what makes an RPG and RPG based off of my years of playing different RPGs. This isn’t a comprehensive list but its one that I adhere to and has yet to fail me.

Oh btw: I also don’t consider JRPG and WRPG “real” genres because the only thing that’s consistently different between the two is where the game itself was made. People who insist one is less of an RPG than the other are turbo nerds who need to get shoved into a locker

WELCOME BACK! For those who logged off, this is what you missed.

1. @staff made a post pretty much saying “Your stuff isn’t getting deleted, just hidden from everyone but you” and “Yeah we know you hate the term “female presenting nipples” but we ain’t gonna stop saying it”

2. If a blog has a pixelated icon that means they got hit by the ban, you cannot view that blog outside the sidebar. You cannot even view their archive. Allegedly if you follow the advice in this post it’ll be fixed but only if it was an accidental flag (aka a real sfw blog)

3. The post Staff made including examples of what was ok to post. It got flagged.

4. Yes, the bots are still here. Yes they are still stealing posts and putting porn links on them. Yes there are still ads with stuff more sexual than they allow in posts. Yes innocent things are still getting flagged.

5. So yes, the site is still here and staff are still morons.
