The lessons I learned from non human entities

From when I was a young child until when I was in my late teens I experienced what are usually referred to as an "alien abduction" experiences-  I had several experiences- probably 20-50 of this type throughout those ages- I'm not sure what/who the beings were- I'll just call them non human entities because all I really know is they were not humans as we know them to be now- Well anyway- in the majority of these experiences I would be asleep and wake up unable to move as I was already surrounded by these beings and/or they were floating through the walls into my room- in the experiences I was always put in this frozen state- then I was taken out of the room into different places- The first 10, 20, 30 times I had these experiences the terror I experienced was overwhelming- some things that were supposedly not real doing this to you night after night and no one can help you- you truly feel alone and helpless- you try to scream or move but you can't do either-

Must have Unity assets when you can't code

I come from a filmmaking/animation background- I started making games in Jan 2014 with zero coding knowledge- Along with Unity these are the tools that have helped me the most with my game dev as someone who can't code- Maybe they can help you too?- check out my games here Standard Assets - FREE - the prefabs included in this free package include first person and third person character setups you can drag/drop into your scenes and use without code- there's also a few camera setups included that are drag/drop as well + a ton of cool fx Playmaker - $45- $95 - THIS IS THE ONE! this is the magic asset that will allow you to make any game you want without coding- its on sale pretty regularly so buy it whenever you can BUT you won't be able to use the "I need a coder" excuse to not make your games anymore. Playmaker is a tool that uses FSM's or finite state machines to do its thing. Read about them here  If you start using Playmaker use their forums as

To the crabs in the bucket: "Well fuckin do better bitch"

That's the phrase I think of when I see someone who wants to do activity X but never has and they are telling someone else about how bad they are at activity X The phrase came from an experience I had just out of high school- I was hanging out with some friends who wanted to be rappers but they hadn't recorded anything/made any songs- we were listening to this pirate radio state and some kid was freestyling on there- he was pretty good- they gave out their number and one of my friends who wanted to be a rapper called in and started talking to the kid telling him how he wasn't any good and how he was copying so and so- The kid listened to it all and just said "WELL FUCKIN DO BETTER BITCH!" and my friend just sort of stumbled on with his words- the kid hung up and kept freestyling- Thats realness right there- its common behavior that when you see someone that is doing what you want to do- to drag them down crabs in a bucket style and tell them NO YOU CAN'
