My Stuff; https://slaveoftimegaming.tumblr.com/
A day or two ago, I was at “boob” restaurant (like an owl one) for a best friend’s brother’s birthday. I got up to go to the bathroom. Talked to a waiter to ask where it was, blah blah blah, normal stuff. And when I was halfway across the restaurant, some guy at a table slapped my ass. And he and all his friends started laughing about it. I spun around and slapped him across the face back.
He got sooo pissed. Started yelling at me and calling me a bitch and then told me “You can’t hit me! I’m a customer!”
I’m pretty well developed for my age, and this happened when it was hot as fuck outside so I was wearing shorts and a tank top.
“I’m not a worker, asshole! And you shouldn’t slap their asses too just because they can’t hit you back!” I’m pretty sure I said something to the effect although I probably am explaining it as if I was smooth and calm back then, but I was an embarrassed, mortified mess
And then I asked one of the waitresses to call the police. The guy was backpedaling and trying to apologize.
Fun fact: I’m 15. Like I said, very well developed for my age.
So I told him no, we were both going to wait here for the police to show up so I could report him for sexually abusing and harassing a minor.
He panicked and was even trying to bargain with me, but like fuck I was letting him off the hook. Think of how many other girls this asshole has probably harassed! I just have the power to do something about it.
Police got there and I had about at least 50 witnesses to attest to the fact a stranger, who was probably like 40, slapped my ass, when I am, in fact, a minor. Not to mention he yelled things at me when he thought I was a worker like “You can’t touch me! I’ll beat your ass, cunt!” Which I referenced as him threatening me too.
The rest of his friends were mortified and had tried to leave but I insisted that they have to stay because the cops might want statements from them. Whether or not that’s true, I don’t fuckin know, but the manager seemed to agree enough to tell them to wait for the police.
I had tried not to, but as some point when talking to one of the waitresses while waiting for the police, I started crying because of how violated I felt. It may have done good for the police came in to see my crying, I don’t know, but the waitresses were all so sweet and tried to comfort me when they had the chance.
I intend to press charges. Since I am a minor I need my parents to help or whatever and I know nothing about this kinda thing but I can potentially get him labeled a sex offender, which he IS, so I want him to actually feel punishment for his abuse towards female workers (I doubt I’m the first girl he’s harassed, maybe just the first who could fight back without her job on the line, so I want to be the last girl he harasses), just… ugh. I just hope he gets the punishment he deserves. So… wish me luck with this whole “legal system” nonsense.
My hero
Absolute hero status - no way would I have stood up for myself like that at 15. Never lose that fire, girl!
inb4 anyone even thinks of defending him because of where he was
“You can’t hit me I’m a customer”
This sentence right here tells us so many things:
- He is aware of what he sees as his ‘rights’ as far as retaliation - For this to be his *first* thought (rather than “WHY did you hit me”) shows he was fully aware of why he was hit - If he knew instantly *why* he was hit then he knows that slapping someone’s ass is something they DON’T LIKE - He chose to slap a person, knowing that slapping is something that people don’t generally like - He felt entitled enough to his actions that the only thing that surprised him was the retaliation NOT the reaction - He EXPECTED her to be upset by his actions. He was SURPRISED there were consequences.
That is a scummy, cowardly, weak piece of shit human being right there.
My boyfriend won’t stop talking to me about whether or not I would eat Pokémon steaks. We think maybe Mr. Mime steaks would have white meat and ooze a purple liquid. I feel like you’re the only one qualified to tell us more
listen the ONLY part of a mr mime thats edible are the red spots, and thats ONLY after being properly cooked - if you bite into any part of their body while its still raw youll suffer near immediate food poisoning
luckily, just like red kidney beans, the potential toxins are easily to remove provided you take the right steps
once theyve been safely removed from their inedible surroundings, the larger red spheres are ready to begin working with - its worth noting that the smaller spots on the hands and cheeks also fall into this category, but theyre almost always too small to be considered harvesting by most professionals
youll want to start by cutting away any flesh thats still directly touching the pale parts; when in doubt, a wider cut is always preferred. better safe than sorry ! one benefit of working with mr mimes is that, along with many others in their typing, their bodies are held together with physic energy and thus dont require deboning
the next part is going to require boiling in a large pressure cooker- some may find it a challenge to to find a pot big enough to host all the parts, so cooking them individually is fine. remember to follow the instructions to the letter
after theyve been removed and dried, an easy way to text if theyre safe to eat is to cut them in half and check the spongy center - a darkened purple core means theyve been boiled long enough, while any lighter, greenish tints means you probably needed a bit more time
once theyre out of the danger range, you can now safely use them in variety of dishes ! their almost mushroom-like texture means they absorb flavors well, and pictured above is one of my personal favorites
THIS guy though, you can just pop em into your mouth whole. its fine
Since work on Frost is (really) slow, I thought I’d talk about some of the neat features in the game! As you may know, there’s a ton of things to collect in Frost, and the ones that add most to the gameplay are the magic rings. Today I’m going to show you one of my favourites, the Ring of Guilt!
This nifty little ring gives you a ghostly protector when you slay an enemy… but guilt has a way of haunting you!
Those ghosts sure are cute!
The Ring of Guilt is one of 20 rings you can find in game, each with their own unique effects. For other collectables there’s Treasures and Tokens, which have no gameplay effects but can be tricky to find. Treasures in particular give you little lore snippets about places and characters you find in game:
(Don’t worry, they’re not all helmets! That’s just the default “you haven’t unlocked this” sprite)
Including rings, treasures, and tokens, there’s 52 different collectables to find in Frost. There’s so many I’ve actually forgotten where some of them are! (Seriously, I’m not kidding)

Main mechanics for the prototype are done and prototype itself now represents the overall feel of the game very well. We’ve put much effort into camera actions that respond to player’s actions - the screen shakes, zoom-ins, particle bursts make simplistic gameplay engaging.
Reason we’re keeping player input restricted to mouse and two keyboard buttons is our idea that less gameplay elements would tell the story better and make it more intuitive.
Enemies
We’re very satisfied with how is this progressing. There are three functional types of enemies, ranged, melee and the dashing one, but there are also plans for incorporating some exploding fighters and traps that will require player’s timing.
Armadillo is the dashing neutral from the desert and it’s better if avoided.
Ranged and basic melee enemies.
NPCs
The basic system for dialogues with NPCs is now functional. We’ve added some transitions when entering the dialogue, as we’re taking care and making responsiveness of player’s actions important aspect of the game.
Quitting smoking is actually my New Year’s Resolution for 2018…
What are we up to next…
Artist part of the team is working on the tilesets and characters for the segments we already have scripted, even though script constantly evolves and we like to play around with ideas. It’s really amazing this project is going on so well, as important lesson is learned when it comes to developing games - there is no way that the idea from my head will convert to paper and then convert into the actual product, therefore, we just add random things and random concepts, which we usually find funny.
The coding part of the team is working on polishing enemy AI, as well as incorporating dialogue system that will give player options to choose from, which will lead to certain consequences.
After finishing all of the things above, we’re going to concentrate on boss fights!

>Changed roll physics (now adds to horizontal momentum instead of setting it)
I’ve been tinkering around with some of the physics a little bit, doing something that will help me get back to effectively devving. After watching a few streams of people working on their stuff, I might try to give that a go when making more attack animations for Layna. It would a challenge to figure out how to organize and handle streaming, but I think that’s half the fun. I’m willing to hear any suggestions!
