I can’t argue with that. I started to preemptively keep myself OFF of cigs (entire family smokes and I knew I would eventually pick up the habit). For a while now, most of the talk around it I’ve heard is just whether or not it’s cool or cringe rather than how it can be used to quit smoking.

Maybe the disposables wouldn’t be so egregious if you could keep the battery like you used to be able to and just replace the disposable tanks. I think that’s what bothers me the most. We had an okay system before that wasn’t really complicated and wasn’t NEARLY as wasteful.

I had to read your comment several times before I realized you didn’t type USB-chub.

Seriously. I struggle to fathom how running out for disposables is even slightly more convenient than refilling a proper tank every so often and replacing the coil. It tastes better, lasts longer and makes much less waste.

Point two cents is not the same as two cents.

Everfall 2 is the “sequel” to Everfall, a vibe coded disaster of a game. The sequel only exists because the “dev” couldn’t figure out how to get Claude to fix the fact that save games just didn’t work. One week after publishing the original, he abandoned it saying the sequel would be given to everyone who bought the first at a “huge discount”. After push back, he reduced it to free if you DM him on discord. The sequel is almost exactly the same as the first game except saving works more often. Like, literally 100% carbon copy. The screenshots on each steam page is proof of that.

Oh I know, there’s a reason it’s a core memory haha.

That is not the core memory I wanted unlocked.

It is an example of something you do not need to experience first hand to have a valid opinion on. Outsider perspectives are valuable too.

You saying anyone that has an opinion on murder has to also have murdered?

It was none of those things actually. It’s impossible to objectively judge our own artworks. We can analyze it, tell others what we think are the strong and weak points, but it’s extremely common for most people, especially when it comes to art, to judge it with a much higher degree of scrutiny that we do not reserve for others.

It’s something I’ve had to work through myself, both with my art and myself as a person. And with that comes an inherent distrust of others opinions of themselves and their work, especially when it’s excessively dismissive or pessimistic.

I think your art is probably better than you think. We’re all our worst critics.
