  • Would I know everything I know now? Cause if not, then what’s the point? I might as well be a completely different person (because I would be).

    If I do know everything I know now, then would I retain that intelligence if I was another creature? Like could I come back as a chimpanzee with my full current intellect? What about an octopus?

    Could I come back as a 90 year old billionaire’s only heir, and be born with my complete current knowledge? Then I can just use the cash to help people?

    Since this is fantasy anyway, could I come back as a Viltrumite? What about a Kryptonian?

    Could I be Cthulhu?

    Could I just be me, but reborn with my current information?

    WHAT ARE THE RULES???








  • Oof, that’s a lot of juice.

    I’m running a UPS, Syno720+, old gaming laptop as a portainer host, my wifi, router, cable modem, and switches, and that’s only using about 50w for everything. Pretty sure the Synology is using the bulk of that power, but I don’t have data to back that up.

    I’d like to upgrade a few things, but I’m really trying to keep it below 75w. Ideally below 50w if I can. I think my old laptop is good for now, just want more flexibility in my NAS if I can do it without bumping up the power budget.











  • Just like anything else, one chunk at a time.

    You can start with a story and build the game off of that, or you can start with the gameplay and build up from there.

    Sometimes you just have to start, and see where it goes. Pick an engine and start building something, don’t be afraid to throw it all out and start over from what you’ve learned so far. Make a game that has some of the elements you want to use and try it out, then throw it out and make a different game with other bits. Start small and work up.

    The biggest problem is thinking it has to be perfect to move on to the next part.

    You can commission art, or you can buy some models and just use those.

    You can also just build everything from the ground up, but it would be hard to do that for your first project.
