I'm real sorry to hear that, man.
On the subject of your feelings, being at the absolute peak of an emotion, even a negative one, can often provide a severe jolt to the creative process. I've often found a need to do something when losing a loved one, just to keep busy, to keep going.
I've churned out maps, short stories and even a video or two. I'm not saying don't grieve, but don't squander the creative benefits. <3

@Snehk: I'd say one or the other. Investing in a powerful laptop is a huge mistake in my opinion. I have often considering getting a laptop, but I wouldn't dream of getting one for gaming. Artwork and writing maybe, perhaps have a few older titles on there, but a modern day "gaming" laptop is just a massive waste of money.

Don't get me wrong, this has had absolutely zero effect on me. I've had comments to this nature on other older channels that I usually ignore. Since, turning 30 last year, I really couldn't care less what other people thing of me.
I'll be honest though, this time I saw an opportunity to turn the last comment to my advantage and I took it. And yeah... I'm just a little pleased with myself.

Hope everything is going OK for you, sir. Also, I feel the most important question is yet to be answered and I think I speak for everyone when I ask: Did you get tacos?

Considering the examples are The Sims and modern X-COM games, I believe we're talking about games that allow you to manage multiple, fully customisable (from scratch) characters at once.
XCOM and The Sims are all I can think of though...
Pillars of Eternity allows you to hire up to five custom party members which you make in the character creator. Not sure if Tyranny offers the same thing, but I've not seen any such option and I'm 16 hours into the story... so probably no.

9 years in to The Core's development... so I'll let you know when it happens.
It seems mental blocks are pretty consistent with mod developers or really any form of creative activity.
One think I can say is that it gets a lot harder to get back on the horse the longer you've been working on a project.
When I started working on The Core, I would take maybe a day or two off but I'd be itching to get back to it. These days, I can sometimes go month's before I get inspired to carry on.
I'm afraid I don't have the answer to your question just yet.

Your opinions will change as you mature and instinct will eventually kick in.
I was terribly awkward around girls in high school. I'd get my FRIENDS to tell girls that I liked them. (You can imagine how that went)
Around year 10 (14/15 years old), I actually just started talking to girls casually. It was literally like somebody flipped a switch. Before I knew it, I had a girlfriend. After that short relationship went belly-up, her best friend asked me out a week later and we were together for four years, through the end of high school and through college. Kind of a shame because in college that shit cranked up to 11, but regardless of the female interest, I stayed faithful. We broke up shortly after college... damn.
But when I was 12/13, I had basically convinced myself that I was going to be single forever. I certainly didn't imagine I'd be married with kids one day.
WRONG!
Regardless of all this. Just enjoy yourself. If that means you don't necessarily want a relationship now or in the near future, so be it.

My comment wasn't intended to shock or offend at all. I like to think I'm pretty level headed and very open minded. Just trying to prevent you from feeling like you're being attacked on other sites is all.
However, thanks for clarifying. I admit I hadn't really kept up to speed regarding Jody and your mod's lore...

Just an idea, but if you're a furry enthusiast, maybe join a community focused on that when you feel the need to write large elaborate stories about it.
Bottom line, not everyone is accepting of the whole furry scene and, especially when interacting online, people don't tend to filter what they say. That guy on the quake forum was only stating that nobody cared. The thread seemed to be focused on Quake Rule34 and how ridiculous it was. (Probably not the smartest place to then open up about your anthropomorphic fox girlfriend)
A guy I work with is a full on furry. He has a fursuit, attends conventions, has a 'mate,' the whole deal. He doesn't talk openly about it outside of the circles he is in regarding that particular part of his personal life.
Just think about where you post about this stuff if you want to avoid ridicule.
I rarely do anything else, so I can't say what issues you might encounter doing more than that. Honestly, the backlash baffles me...

I am thoroughly looking forward to the sequel, Morning Stuff
Still, pretty awesome.
Also, yeah... This is definitely going to delay The Core a little more unfortunately, at least for the first few months.
Broken links!
I realise now that neither 8am or 1pm are PUBG time, so ignore me.
I've never had a laptop that lasted more than three years, so I tend to avoid them.

All the best to you and your family. brohug
Real sorry to hear about this, mate. Can't imagine what you're going through right now, but we're all here.
Happy 22nd.
I'm guessing it's not binary because of the "Rightmost number is 0*2^(0)" thing...
FUCK IT. HAPPY WHATEVER-TH BIRTHDAY!

runthinkshootlive.com do a singleplayer mapping challenge almost every month, but that's source only. I'd like to see more love for Goldsource SP.
Single player competition next please?
