There are various threads on this subject linked on this thread but the consistent message is that it very much depends on the scene itself, the context, whether atrocities are glorified, and whether it’s something the player perpetrates (and whether the player has a choice about that). However HG can’t give a ruling without having read the full game once it’s submitted for review.
Forum wise, if your WIP demo contains graphic violence then we’d want to move it to the adult reader section 
I can confidently say it is not glorification, and no (and no), but yeah, it’s probably a case by case thing because no one can tell without reading.
LOL I thought that was just for NSFW, but I guess it’s obvious violence also falls in that category. Do I do that now, or when the scene is actually included (like the update after the next update)?
You can drop a message to the moderators or edit your topic yourself to move it once the graphic violence is written into the demo. No worries!
I vote yes. Sounds fun.
Cheese . . . tea? I feel the world is intrinsically better knowing such a thing exists. Sounds super yummy!
Great, that’s something else I gotta try making this week…
It’s really easy to make at home! What tickles me is that it’s a Taiwanese invention, but the ingredients are all Western staples and relatively uncommon in Asia
“Put your hands in the air!”
“Did you forget I have palm blasts?”
“fairmath” sounds kind of, I don’t know, antagonizing. Like fairmath is fair, and all these other evil math operators are unfair.
Take it from someone who studied applied mathematics for five years; Operators are a very unfair bunch. Division is particularly nasty.
For all I know, it could just mean it’s some fae math.
TBH, math itself is simply evil. “Fairmath” is just its attempt to sound good and deceive others.
Like I said, fae math.
(But I also like math in general, so I don’t agree it’s evil as of itself. It may be an ancient language to summon eldritch monstrosities, but that’s a separate thing.)
I forgot I was going to reply to this, so I’m a bit late, but: they’re both equally plausible I think - I haven’t really thought about vampires specifically, but I have a mara, a string orchestra of nixies, and a few characters who do ancient spirit magic, so it’s not very much a stretch - and supervillains are a well-known fact. In fact, the character in question is well-known as a supervillain, and widely rumoured to be a vampire, so I figured it would make sense for the MC to potentially believe that, but then I started to fear I’m stereotyping, but if vampires are real…
You look out of your window, forbidden from leaving your room (for safety, your father said, although you have to wonder whose), watching Sparkgap ride along the street, the inky black tetracorn leaving wisps of smoke behind. There’s no drones now, and no armor either - he’s wearing a weirdly formal attire instead, a white skinsuit with golden accents and black accessories - the only technology visible the respirator mask no one in their right mind travels the ashlands without, the dim lights on his wrist computer and the stock of the rifle strapped on the saddle, peeking out from under the one-shoulder cape, and, as he rides closer to your window, the cybernetic implants around his left eye, trailing the edge of the ugly burn scar running from the corner of said eye to under the respirator. With his pale skin (looking like it rarely gets any sunlight) and long red hair (tied back in an elaborate French braid), he looks every bit the vampire he’s rumoured to be.
Been a while since I dropped in here but I just wanna say🌸Happy Mother’s day🌸 to all the moms in here. I hope you are spoiled rotten with love today! Best wishes!
Here’s a little song to celebrate your role in someone else’s life. The love of a mother is something that is understood universally so we don’t have to be related to share a little appreciation.

I like math too since I am pretty good at it, but what I don’t like is the full book (calculus, geometry, and vectors) math exam I have tommorow (and so, by causality, I don’t like math ATM either).
How do we handle if someone posts a spoiler without hiding it in a WIP comments? Do yall delete it? Ask them to hide it? Let it be?
If it’s something that I’d really prefer to be a surprise, I ask the person to spoiler-tag it.
Ok I appreciate it!
Finally, I am starting to write about the swordfighting tournament while including a different method of my “pushing your luck” system. In each chapter, you begin with three pieces of luck, and if you do something that makes things more complicated, you will use up luck, while certain tricks can give you one piece of luck back.
For example, in the tournament, parrying whilst moving towards your opponent will use up one of your pieces of luck, whereas parrying whilst backing away won’t, as giving yourself more room to attempt to parry is easier than giving yourself less room to judge the attack. Likewise, an ambidextrous Robin can swap hands mid-fight, and if they do, and it is the first time they swap hands, they regain a piece of luck.
I’m also trying to decide how I want to describe Marian at this point. In the original idea when this was meant to be Heart’s Choice, with a male-only Robin, Marian was meant to be disguised as a man. But now as players now have a gender choice for Robin, it doesn’t make as much sense for her to need to disguise herself (unless I go from the thought that she is just hiding her identity but she already does that in her “maid marian” persona as opposed to the true “Lady Marian” persona.
She could have multiple guises for multiple uses - one for general hiding, and one in case she needs to do something a bit riskier - for example?
My guilty pleasure is looking through the code for choicescript games and guessing whether the writer has a programming background. There is some stuff which is an almost 100% indicator, like if I see something like this
*choice
#Train power with heavy bag work (+++Power, --Energy)
*gosub_scene training_montages power
*set stat_power +8
*set stat_energy -10
If I view training_montages and it’s plain text in *labels, I’m pretty sure they have a programming background
