What's on your mind?

Yay for not-very-fast internet! 
Anyway, I made a few breakthroughs today on some things I should've tried to figure out YEARS ago... regarding the damage formulas. After some extensive rambling with people, I finally took to The Mighty Google to figure out some of my queries. I finally came up with some REALLY awesome things that'll save my game from having skills being too overpowered in the beginning!
(Not sure if I should have this in the "What's up RMers?" thread, but I have some more thoughts right now that I wanna get out at one time, so sorry if I'm in the wrong thread for this!)
My people were doing 27-30 damage with skills, and with their regular attacks they were doing 2, 6, and even 0. Lots of 0 for Sheena...
It turns out, I was doing the whole damage formula totally wrong, thinking the STR and ATK were the problems with the skills, and I thought I needed to change all of that up constantly to get the damage to be "Balanced", but then the damage would end up goofy for later in the game!
It was the Power that was the problem. I had it too high, and I feel so stupid right now. With the Skill Leveling script by a certain genius, I think I can finally balance everything out and do some REAL playtesting!
I'M ONE STEP CLOSER TO A DEMO, GUYS. (Still a long way away, though)
Now, what else is on my mind? I suppose I should push past this vast fortress of Ruby-tude, and get it all out, huh?
*Digs a hole to Mental China in my mind*
Aha! FOUND YA, THOUGHTS! (I'm so weird...)
1 - I watched RWBY yesterday with my Ruby plush, and I reached the latest episode as of yesterday. I didn't realize it was the last one, and now I'm on a major cliffhanger! AHH!
I normally don't do that, I like to have a few episode gap from the latest episodes... but I enjoyed it so much! The show is just so well-done, and I couldn't stop watching! And neither could Ruby! She was with me the whole time
2 - Some people wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and it's so obvious they did... For the past few hours, some people that shall not be named have awakened, and have had nothing but negative things to say to me/about me. I didn't even do anything yet!
3 - My Youtube channel recently hit 20 subscribers! To celebrate, I'm putting out a video every day this week, starting on Monday and ending on Friday! Lots of uploading is gonna be going on for me, so if I don't show up in the IRC, it's because my internet couldn't open it due to the uploads.
4 - Finally... THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO WRESTLEMANIAAAA!!!
The Rock is coming back to Wrestlemania 32 this year, and I don't know how I feel about that. He's great on the mic, but he kinda just shows up once a year and says he still loves wrestling and the fans, but then goes back to making movies. He can't have a "Physical" role this year, because he has two movie deals in a row, so what the heck is he gonna do? Talk about how he's back and then leave? He's promising "History" at Wrestlemania this year, but there's already gonna be history via the attendance numbers! What's he gonna do? I'm so curious now!
Okay, that's it! Have an awesome day, everyone!
