@bluestarultor I still remembered when they took down AM2R right before they announced their own M2 remake

@FreyaManibrandr Yep. *Especially* anything Nintendo has their fingers in. I did some recent posts on it, but decided against linking this one to them.

TBH as much as I had some really cool and well-thought ideas that would have incorporated the existing characters, and unlike most Chrono fangames I understood and respected the lore (seriously, so many just wanted to undo Chrono Cross), I'd much rather do something cool for myself than a victory lap for someone else.

@bluestarultor yep, you're just asking for trouble doing fangames for corporate franchises

Random:
You know how I was talking about not doing fan games? I was able to completely remove my Chrono Break idea from Chrono as a series and I already have something that completely stands on its own, with a battle system that combines and enhances those from CT and CC, and a cast that really doesn't need any returning characters.

Sure, it meant cutting a lot of cool ideas about the way Chrono loose ends could be tied up, but the original ideas are enough on their own for a game.

@dark_soil it's narcissism, and it's as shallow as feeding the ego. That's all it is.

i've been working on a MIDI player based on the new OPL3 emulation core from MAME! check it out if you like that sort of stuff

i need to put up some good audio examples later, but try it out with the included patch set (or supply your own) and see what you think

inheritance is fundamentally broken without encapsulation. if i inherit from a class, i can't define any new fields on my subclass without potentially overriding one of the fields of my superclass. like this is virtually unavoidable as long as superclasses can contain fields that are not part of their public API, and that i am allowed to accidentally override. this is just a fact

Rumination over Redemption Gatekeeping 

This is how you do redemption. Give a timeline to suss out their intent, give conditions for redemption, and follow through once conditions are met.

But then again, I never liked punishment as justice, I just want people to better themselves and for victims to be made whole again.

Rumination over Redemption Gatekeeping 

...and weeks passed. Then she approached me asking for forgiveness, she had pulled her head out her ass and left those toxic groups, but I can't quite trust her yet.

So, I told her that it will take a while before I could forgive her, that she needs to give me some space, and work on herself to detox from those spaces.

Amazingly, she did just that, and slowly I was able to forgive her, and also help her reintegrate into groups that had kicked her out.

Rumination over Redemption Gatekeeping 

Just to hammer this home, I have experience with this as the forgiver.

A while back, I have a friend who I had been trying to convince to leave the Raiders. She initially wouldn't, so after many years, I cut off contact with her. Her response was to stalk me, and commiserate with Altfurs who were trying to get me killed by potentially snitching to the CCP that I am trans. (They're not a smart bunch.)

Anyways, after that I declared her a lost cause...

Rumination over Redemption Gatekeeping 

Honesty gets thrown out the window when you put someone in a no win situation, and this kind of uncertainty is very similar to the kind of tactics a narcissistic parent would use on a child.

Rumination over Redemption Gatekeeping 

I admit, it is hard to talk about this, because people too easily assume that because I refused to persecute someone for making an honest mistake, I was defending the erroneous action.

Quite the opposite, it is very important to outline the path to redemption, and its conditions. This is because keeping the guilty party perpetually so out of enforced uncertainty, will only teach them that doubling down and denial gives the best outcome.
