Going outside of 'the community' to experience other communities has been interesting and kind of awesome.

I grew up in Thailand, did the IB, then came to the U.S. for college.
Now I live in Pennsylvania.
I have become a suburbanite, and like all suburbanites, have begrudgingly gotten into gardening.
I shake my fist at the terrible car culture in this country - I miss sky trains and being able to stroll everywhere.
I walk my dog a lot and she brings all the kids to the yard.

It's aite.

Relationships, nakama power, modern setting

What would you like to see the most out of a Digimon RP?
Going to compare to pokemon a lot as it is the direct competition and you want to keep it unique from the bigger franchise. In my strict opinion people find it boring to be faithful to 1 partner mon, they want to have their cake and eat it too. The games realize this and go the pokemon route with team building even though the source anime is all about growing up with your buddy. If a single partner style can work it would be on a roleplay site though.

Modern setting. There are a lot of fantasy, uncivilized settings out there already. Digimon was unique for its digital / AI concepts intertwined with the modern setting. Tamers is universally loved and I think you'd be best keeping to the modern with maybe some forays. Adventure style could be interesting but I think only if you had the gritty/horror sense of Digimon: Survive and a strong system to back up exploration and etc.

Speaking as someone who loves stats and made a whole infinitely scaling linear system with playtested curves and probability cut-offs... I don't think digimon needs stats. You can get by on evolution levels. Depends on what you are going for. Stats makes everything more robust but is accessible to less people. Digimon is already not that popular.

Good luck. I would recommend looking at the other digimon sites that have been around, some for a very long time but they're not so 'aesthetic' so they didn't crop up much on pixel and its circles.

Do I play gacha for husbandos, yes I do.

Pretty happy with Heathcliff - R-Corp 4th Pack Rabbit


It's my duty to at least bring awareness to this game, so: Limbus Company is a PC/mobile gacha game made by indie(?) studio ProjectMoon, their third game to date (all of their games take place in the same dystopian sci-fi universe). They are known for very story-heavy games. You're the manager on a bus ride to hell (literally) fighting all sorts of monsters, crazed people, and all-powerful corrupt conglomerates. You're joined by your 12 groupies (Sinners) that you control who are all based on different stories/figures through history (Heathcliff, Don Quixote, Ishmael, Yi Sang, etc.).

It's unique for a gacha game in the sense that there are only 12 characters all the way through and you start with all of them, you just roll for alternate 'versions' of them - where they've joined different organizations, had different pasts, different skillsets, etc. as well as use different 'artifacts' distilled from SCP-like monsters.

Gameplay is a bit technical and obscure especially if you're not used to the franchise, but once you clear something you can autobattle it. It also seems like you can ignore most technical stuff unless you're super into teambuilding. We will see.

It's very gruesome and metal and lots of people die. Viewer discretion is advised.

9 hours until Limbus Company!! Face the Sin, Save the E.G.O.

Day 89

It's been a while but I've been working on things. Mostly trying to figure out a style, try different things.
After a lot of experimentation I seem to prefer thicc lines, ink or cell-shaded works. Painterly ain't my speed...

Another thing I've been looking at is avoiding same-face syndrome. Triangle Strategy has been a really good study on how to make different faces and ages while staying anime - Rudolph is one of the best hawk-faced characters I've seen. Great game btw.

So anyway, here's a pretty boy OC that looks like every other pretty anime boy.

Day 31

Have learned that there is a big difference between 'sketch' and 'sketch style'. The latter is an exercise in lots of effort to make something look like it took less effort than it did.

I feel lied to.

Attached: Fanart of FGO's Arjuna.

Sometimes I talk to people online and genuinely question how they function irl.

I know a lot of roleplayers branch out into writing books etc. and that seems like a natural step to make.
Then again, I didn't think I'd ever try making a game.

Having spent a not insignificant chunk of change on it by now, with more to come, it's starting to feel quite real.

Scary! And exciting.

(Unfortunately this means my future site idea is on hold)

- When you have sudden inspiration and art for a skin.
- "I'm a genius!!!1!"
- Then you actually try to code it.

I haven't been able to get a companion pet for reasons so I'm into plants now.

Taking care of plants and, oddly enough, playing gatcha has made me a lot more patient and to think long term.

There's one plant who has been battling with fungus (lol) and watching him win is lowkey inspiring. Also, I swear I can tell when plants have moods. They get a little droopy or change shade of green slightly... sometimes they also need a little wiggle to face the light just right. I am not crazy.

Fate/Grand Order and Tears of Themis both have huge anniversaries this month.

I'm not powerful enough...
