    How'd you get into it?

    Its better to start with basic programming. You can begin working directly with game engines and learn the programming stuff along the way, but that's the path that leads you to unnoptimized and buggy games as well as inefficient workflows that get you stuck into dev hell.

    Recommendations What are you favorite novels/mangas with the "applies/reinvents modern technology" trope?

    Kind surprised no one mentioned Wisher Beware (and the sequel Ecdysis). Its from this very site after all. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/291657/wisher-beware/ It's honestly the best novel with this trope i've seen around. From a setting where it actually makes sense for the character to...

    Obscure horror games recommendations

    One game i often see recommended in terms of horror is Thief (1998). Another one is Subnautica. I'd say the main appeal of horror game's isn't so much the story but the 'mood' and atmosphere they can bring about. I think the problem with your argument is that i can easily apply the same logic...

    Worst thing you can do right now (as an author)

    Spider-man 2 has awful writing

    They do things fans hate because they want to please investors. I wouldn't look for good stories in AAA games, aside from very rare exceptions.

    [Survey] Is this lore disturbing to you?

    If its meant to be dark i think its fine. Still, i should point out that the idea of a kid who passed through such a traumatic event to the point of blocking off his memories, but still managed to live alongside the same perpetrator, under the same roof of where it happened, for years without...

    [Survey] Is this lore disturbing to you?

    This kind of disturbingness is more about expectations than the actual content. If this was meant to be a dark story in the first place, i think its fine. Otherwise you risk alienating your readers. That said, i don't think the part about the boy forgetting everything and living like normal is...

    Why are the companies trying to literally kill off all their best characters?

    Bad writers. Shock value for the sake of shock value, subversiveness for the sake of subversiveness, message and themes working against the story rather than uplifting or serving it... all tell-tale signs of amauter writing. Understand that to get in a position like that, writing for big...

    Predestination Abilities (and why it’s a garbage troupe for lazy writers)

    I liked how they did in Clearing an Isekai with the Zero-Believers Goddess. MC breaks away from his low stats limitations with sheer autism.

    I have a question for people who know about psychology/psychiatry.

    Schizophrenia is the least of your worries. The reason you should see a doctor is that there is a non-zero chance this could actually be an infection or a brain tumor.

    I have a question for people who know about psychology/psychiatry.

    You really should just check with a doctor, you won't be put into a mental yard against your will unless you're showing signs of endangering others or yourself. Or in case its something really really severe. That usually comes with other more straightforward symptoms (like headaches and...

    I have written myself into a corner

    Is this about Flip The Script? I remember reading it at some point in the past. I read that and a handful of other "reverse gender roles" stories here as well as jp ones, even used the concept in my own story. Anyway. Personally, i think you are looking at it wrongly, reading a draw-out banter...

    Was the origin of half of all Isekai plots hiding right under our noses?

    There have been manga's that followed this exact same plot of "high school boy reincarnates in fantasy medieval world and must defeat demon lord" from before Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest were even conceptualized. Final Fantasy itself is also inspired by D&D and western rpgs like Ultima...
