    Anyway pepper spray goes a long way 👍
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    That could work as conversation starters.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Not necessarily. If someone you care about is in danger. You won't think twice. I assure you.
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Skelletonike, Yeah, you're right, hadn't thought about that.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, I assume that's illegal in Venezuela?

    @Skelletonike, Good night!
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, If you're concerned about your safety you should think about carrying one with you, it's pretty dangerous though so I'd only use it as a last resort.

  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I'm trying to figure out how to make worms style destructible and construct able terrain
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Listening to the ost of sonic and knuckles pc collection is weird
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I think the best way to make it work is to construct my terrain out of triangles and then delete those tris in my "deletion area"

    From there I could just connect the tris surrounding the deletion area to the area
