My general saltiness and low-ish postcount keeping me in Armchair Designer territory is perfectly fine by me. Though I would support trophies for seasonal avatars. Just sayin', photos don't shop themselves.
Hey man, I googled how to apply a gradient filter to a layer in PS Elements for my Hallmark Day avatar. I worked hard!
And thus, the chasm between the kawaii LPers and the sangry Grognards was forever closed because they could all agree on that. And everyone broke the system by liking nearly every single post. HAPPY END
So, I suppose this is slightly... relevant... to the title discussion since that's what spawned this atrocity. Remember when I said I got half my likes mangling musical classics? I blame Ana. This pigeon thing is me I saw it in a glance A hatoful pigeon This title is my chance Why should I spare my hide Why should I claim it wrong When I have come so far And liked posts for so long? If I post, am I condemned? If Fatbird comes, am I damned? Who am I? Can I truly be, hatofully Pretending to date birds, my destiny? This title under Javert's face That mark me in this strange new place Who am I? Can I conceal myself forever more? Pretend I'm not the title I held before Must my name until I die Be the acronym for where I live? Should I lie? How can I ever face the bearded men? How can I ever voice Javert again? My soul belongs to him, I know I made that bargain long ago He gives me words When words are gone He makes me post here on and on Who am I? Who am I? I'M JEAN VALJEAN And I know it's atrocious, it's a five minute glance job and I didn't sleep much last night and I think I may have done this specifically to troll my own avatar. *slinks away*
So Elyscape you see it's true No one can like more posts than you.... How many likes? 2-4-6-0-1! (by the way what you did here is awesome)
I wrote a bunch when I was in the Counter-Strike community (Beta 5.2 4 LYFE!) but after looking into it, I may have lost those in a hard drive crash from around 2000. They were really good, at the time, but probably wouldn't be funny if you weren't a member of the forums from that era.
Heh, I once started writing a design document for a game called Ark that eventually just turned into a huge collection of short stories about each of the characters, areas of the game, even weapons and crap. It's about 600 hundred pages long, because it still contained the designs for everything as well. I still generally write short stories about characters in my GDDs, mostly to give other team members an idea of the vision for the character (and thus have a basis for the art and personality), but for that one game I just went nuts. It was funny, too, because after I'd write a short story about a character for Ark, the team members would all be like "HE/SHE SHOULD BE THE MAIN CHARACTER THEIR STORY IS AWESOME!" rinse and repeat for every character in the doc. Given that it was intended to be a first-person RPG, in the vein of Wizardry 8, I don't feel too bad about it and who knows, maybe one day I'll revisit it. God knows I have enough material. Lol, just went browsing through the design doc again. Oh look, a short story about one of the weapons in the game. And the most favoritest character of the entire team, who proposed should definitely be the main character after reading this: Of course there's a lot of information you'd need to know to fully understand what's happening in that story (like what a Gate user is, what a Hunter is, etc). Bleh, I wrote that 9 years ago and now I see so many literary errors I just want to fix :P
Ah man, reading this design doc brings back so many memories. I also just realized when I designed the Gate ability that I had basically written the premise for Avatar: The Last Airbender, at least 5+ years before the show aired.
So I guess I have to post a bunch more to increase my trophy count. I will regale you all with stories about the Canadian Acounting profession (and by regale I mean bore you I tears).
