              Your body grows tolerant to the medication after some time though.

                It kills your neurons, there are studies showing that.

                For some people it can take years and you can go off it for a short period and wait for your tolerance to build back up, or limit yourself to using it when you need to. If you genuinely have ADHD medication will improve your life dramatically.

                >and you can go off it for a short period and wait for your tolerance to build back up
                Is that really a thing or are you just making shit up?

                What do you mean? All tolerances go away over time when you stop doing something, doesn't matter if it's alcohol or coffee. That's why a lot of heroin junkies die when they relapse, their tolerance is gone but they take a dose similar to what they could handle at the peak of their addiction. Your tolerance to stimulants will also go away if you stop using them.

                I don't know, I never heard about that. Do you have any studies to back you up? AFAIK once your body grows tolerant to something it will never lose that tolerance.

                So how are people capable of doing the same drugs at different points in their life? If someone takes one tab of ecstasy and then wait half a year they don't need to take two tabs to feel the same high the next time, their tolerance has reset. LSD and some other psychedelics builds up tolerance very fast to the point where re-dosing within the next few hours is practically a waste of drugs, but if you wait two weeks your tolerance will be completely reset. If that wasn't the case then the hippies who did a lot of acid would have to take exponentially more acid to the point where they'd be swallowing thousands and tabs and that's just not true for any drug.

    Music and worldbuilding > Art and gameplay

    Look at Undertale or Touhou. Their art is shit and the gameplay is quite simple but since the music is good it makes you feel good when you play it

      Plenty of games have shit or unremarkable music and yet are praised. You just need some sort of strengths and not have your weakness too detrimental to enjoyment.

    3d modeling is super easy and you do not know how to do traditional art to do it.
    I'm convinced that if you can't learn 3D software you lack sapience.

      I can make critters and faces in Blender but where are you supposed to learn how to adapt them for use in video games?

      • 3 months ago
        Anonymous

        Every single possible workflow for using Blender is tutorialized to death on Youtube, especially if you're using a commercially available game engine like Unity, UE or Godot. Really as long as you build things out of good topology and have normal animation rigs everything should port 1:1.
        If you're building some OpenGL engine yourself I assume that takes 2-3 more clicks to find tutorials for.

        Bran Sculpts on Youtube has been a very good reference for animation modeling for me. Assumes some basic knowledge of Blender UI but you can pick that up doing the Donut tutorial and fricking around for an afternoon.

        He's a programmer mainly. He programmed a lot of the old MSX games because his programming team wouldn't do what he wanted and iirc he contributed a lot to the rendering and animation software used for MGS4.

          no he isn't, he has no programmer credits in any recent games and he in interview has told that he has no programming skill aside from scripting that he used on snatcher for a scripting system he designed himself

            The most recent game I mentioned, MGS4, is 15 years old and he at most worked on software design for its development tools. Learn how to fricking read, anon.

    Time, ideas, understanding how to fit things together, a story (this isn't nessesairly the most important), music, and the willingness to throw away work you previously made to make something better after you started making things based off of what you learned during the time you were making the game.
    In fact I'd argue having the ability to restart is one of the most important things needed to actually make a good game.
    If you spent weeks on something like a level, and then like a year later your skills have improved, don't keep that old level and instead work to improve it either by reworking it or by starting anew.
