Sam's Procrastination Station

about 6 years

I'm back in college which means I'm off vacation and on the procrastination station. Choo choo, all aboard. I'll post here until I start putting off doing things on this thread too.

jk the prostitution charges were SMEARS

almost 6 years
lol my current senator got charged with consorting with underaged prostitutes and bribery

and the man running to unseat him doubled cancer drug prices and supports Trump^TM

who do I vote for
almost 6 years
allegedly because I've been working on it off and on and erasing things wholesale

RIP crockpot, meals, animals, machines, machine parts, bicycles, intelligence, animal handling, survival skills, berries/mushrooms, an outdoor map....

but I think the stuff that's left could work well.

That's true! Visual novels = "easy"
I can definitely do that.

Netgames I have no idea where to begin with. I've been pretty poor at being able to teach myself things in general.

But I probably could! I'm just frustrated because I feel like when I'm in school I'm not learning the skills I want to have when I feel like that should be the point. At the same time maybe I shouldn't uproot myself for something I want that just might be fleeting.

Do you know what kind of games you want to make?


Thank you for asking :)

Honestly I would like to make a site where you could play lots of social strategy games. Like vivor and big brother, but also some invented games too. Like "Battle Royale" in the org format or even some plot-based games like a horrorg I've been toying around with in my head.

I'd also like to make a visual novel because I think the medium is very underused. It's a weird mesh of book, movie, and animation that I think is a great storytelling format and hasn't been much explored in English and outside the dating sim genre. Even Stein;s Gate and Dangan Ronpa have romancing elements.


So nothing too engine intensive. Could probably be self taught for the games you want to make, if you want it badly enough.

(I'm jest going to quietly lurk here because Idk what to say. But before I go back to being a ninja, there's one thing I wanted to say.

You can't change your past but you can change your present. Even if there's stuff you regret in the past, you can't really do anything about it. But you can make a decision now to decrease how much you regret.

Even if you leave your current college or stay, you'll probably have regrets either way. So do what you think you'll regret less. And don't let anything else influence your decision!

You will do well either way Sam boi so I hope you choose wut you want to do instead of being a passive pancake who is flattened by making decisions (:

I'm jest going to retreat to the shadows now, good luck with whatever you choose to do! (ง'̀-'́)ง

[double bracket cuz P.S: DON'T BUBBLE IN EMBB AAAAAAAAAAAAA, I won't be proud if you do.])

I probably can teach myself! But whether or not I can shouldn't change whether I should try to invest in pursuing in a skill I want.

I'm not sure where I am going with this because it is a non-problem or a problem that's nice to have - having had too much opportunity!

But I think I was caught in the trap that if l had no background in a skill, I shouldn't ask to learn it out of the blue. Well. I wish I did. I'm not sure what service I was doing to anyone but not saying a word.

I wish I was more selfish in high school because I didn't really pursue any new interests that I wasn't already on track from in middle school or fit HS requirements.

My family would've been supportive and likely had the resources if I asked to take classes in pretty much anything. I felt very guilty and still do feel heavy about any $$$ they spend on me beyond feeding me and housing me. I also thought that I should be able to teach myself in whatever I wanted to do, if I just had the motivation to do it.
almost 6 years
I wish when I was applying to colleges I had taken more time to just sit down and decide what I'd be excited to be able to do in 4 years time, even if I had zero background in something or it sounded juvenile.

Like: "I want to be able to make video games!"
Okay, then since I'm lucky enough to have the means to study that then I should've gobe to a school where I can do that.

I thought back then that I would just try to go to the best college I could, and then figure out what I'd do when I got into it. But I think the opposite would have been a better approach.
almost 6 years
I am stressed about deciding whether or not to transfer colleges. I like my school and it is challenging but I think I am interested in Game Design? And it doesn't have a program for that at all.
almost 6 years
I would like to plan/host either Battle Royale or Whoddunnit. I like the idea of Whodunnit because I could write mysteries and then pass them on to someone else more committed to live hosting, and that gamemode is a niche that also needs to be filled.

I miss Battle Royale. It's living up to your thread's theme ;) :P I play PUBG on mobile and feel nostalgic remembering BR.


Maybe I will host this summer! I am thinking that after EMBB I want to take my hands off orgs for a while because they consume a lot of time. It's true that my own procrastination habits are more of a problem and I would sink my time into other things anyway, but there's something about them that's very addictive. Maybe it's because orgs demand daily attention?

I'm just trying to match it to 4, but given how it talks a lot about the phases of the moon, especially with respect to the flower, this idea of blooming and waning, makes you think of a full cycle for the moon, which takes about a month, or four weeks.

or it could simply deal with the last line of in between heaven and hell, traditionally called purgatory, which is four syllables.

please post if you find out what the answer is and why


Yeah I posted here because I looked it up and was surprised to find out that 1) It was a riddle original to the game 2) No one who had played the game posted an explanation to the riddle yet.

I thought about the moon answer, but not the purgatory one. I think you have the best explanation for the riddle on the internet right now, but I'll let you know if I find something definitive.

The hint was look back at the answers to other riddles, and at the beginning the puzzlemaster person said that one riddle was answerless so I am leaning that this had no answer.

But it sounds like it's describing *something* that's not like...eating a dead body. Something to do with tides???

Here's the riddle:

On a dreadful night illuminated by a bright full moon
Our love flourished, like a flower in bloom,
With a poisonous kiss, on a waning crescent,
Did I take your essence in necrophagous ravishment,
Putting you to rest in a final farewell, your body did I crave,
On a waxing moon I had my punishment,
Between heaven and hell, did I dwell in confinement

Was the game originally published in english?


"During the development of this game we have gotten our inspiration from various japanese RPG MAKER games"

Since it's inspired by japanese games and there's no translator credited (or patch needed) I'm taking it as originally English.
