Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

What I meant is that learn by doing is usually more effective than watching videos. For example, when you mentioned sketchbook app the first thing I did was download it out of curiosity and spend 5 min press/try every botton on the UI and see their functions. then if I want to figure out specific function like import image but unable find the button, I googled "how to import image in sketchbook" and use the information.

After that I spend the next 15 min sketch a fan art of Richter Belmont from Castlevania.

So within 20 min I accomplished 2 things: figured out how to use sketchbook app and produced 1 sketch using it.

(Though I uninstalled the app immediately after lol)

I wouldn't watch a 3 hour tutorial before starting anything at all. Because I know watching long tutorials is less effective way to learn than doing things with hand.

The same can be said for UI/UX. I have never taken any UX courses but I have build web sites and apps before. I wouldn't spend 10 months on UX course before building my first web site, I would build a web site or app first and do a user experience test to see what part of UX needs improvement, then search for UX related knowledge to find ways to improve it.

This way the knowledge gained applied faster with real experience and I can filter out useless parts that doesn't aid the current task.

Imo, if you can learn by doing and filter out unrelated knowledge but only focus on useful ones for the current task, you can learn faster.

That is one of the oldest discussions: the ones who learn by doing, and the ones who learn by studying.

I personally am in the sido of learning by studying, because I believe that people need to do things properly. Maybe you can press the buttons faster and learn one thing or another, but I think you just end up using a technique full of vices.

Truth is, the answer for me is that learning is somewhat an iterative process: you study for the base foundations, apply in practice to figure the pitfall, then go back to study to achieve a new level of perception about the topic, then you expand to intermediate level.

About sketchbook, Im still trying to figure about my pen. I bought a new one, but I think I will also buy those cheap Wacoms that have no screen: if i can get used to draw while properly sitted in my chair, then I will have less body issues than drawing in a tablet with screen.

Still, while trying the app, I got annoying about color palletes hiding, digital pen customizations so I need to rewatch the videos to use them in synergy.

It would be annoying figuring those things for myself

Ok that's fair. I still don't see myself spending hours watching tutorials before I do at least one thing with my hand. But if you feel the other way works better, then so be it.

AI friend or slug friend?

I don't mind having slug friends but not slug friends that like to think about boobs all day.

Its ok to be gay

But its not the lifestyle for me

I should have correct myself, it's fine to think about boobs occasionally, human nature etc.

Now try to approach girls and tell them "sup, I like to think about boobs all day and read sex things", I can promise you pretty soon you'll only have bro-friends left. Do you really want that if gay isn't your style? Lol.

Youre the one who plays the $5 sex novel narrative games, not me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I play the soulsborne with jiggle physics.

We listen and we don't judge.
No matter how you choose to live your life, friend.

Dont start this again….

Called it.

Based on what? lol time to copy and paste your own meme.



I have never played sex games and I have zero interest in it. I have linked a few titles on this forum, that does not mean I've played it. I've read about some of those titles and listened to people review it, but I didn't play it nor interested.

The usual narrative games that I play are not sex-based, such as disco Elysum or 13 sentinel rim. IDK why you insist I played porn games lol.

Also if men openly said they like boobs then women often view that men as pervert and avoid them, if women say they like *** men will see that women as *** and easy target then approach her more.

So the chance of you living a lifestyle full of bro-friends by announcing that you like boobs as loud as possible is going to be greater than me no matter what. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We are both canadian citizens and the slogan where I grew up on our license plates was, "friendly Manitoba" so of course he is a friend.

Maybe should ask AI how many times a day the average male specimen thinks about naughty things.

It doesn't matter if you keep it to yourself.

Announcing that loudly is different though.

I don't personally see myself having any kind of friendship with a male friend that talk about boobs too often.

I never talk about boobs with anyone.

Butts are best

I could see it happening often if you guys were
-really close and discussing one of you twos' theoretical weight concerns with reductions or clothing options etc
-medically trained and one asking other for advice on something area related

I am pretty sure the slug just enjoys jiggle physics because it's pleasing to look at and emits certain chemical in the reptilian brain.

Sticking with AI ;)

Of course a dog would say this

Sorry for referencing a locked thread, but I couldnt answer the question without it.

Did you even read the quote you linked?

You asked what games are "good games" so I made a list of games with positive reviews on steam. It's a list with games getting positive reviews, not a list of games that I played.

So your source is invalid!

I'm not digging through a 3000 page thread, you know what these games are because you've said you play romance story games in the past.

I've played persona 3, Sakura war and stardew valley. I guess those count as romance games since you can date NPC? But they aren't sex games. There are no sex scenes nor porn image after you successfully complete a romance quest in those games.

Romance game mechanic and sexual content are 2 very different things.

Someone did mention really liking the KFC dating sim game but not sure if it was alf

Oh And I've also played star ocean 3 which also has a romance system(kinda). No sex scenes though.

Or does Witcher 2 count? There are sex scenes in witcher games but people rarely call Witcher "sex games" since porn isn't the main point in those cutscenes.

Seems like you nerds started horny this week.

I guess we are about to enter spring
